Let's see how good today can be!
Added 2022-12-20 12:00:01 +0000 UTCGood morning,
At lunch with my daughter one day, I had asked her how she is doing. Her life is full. She works 2 jobs and goes to school. So, it is few and far between that I get to see her and spend one-on-one time.
She had seen something on Tik Tok and the person was saying how it is a game changer to start each day asking “the Universe” to show her how good that day could be. Thalia said, “well, I thought to myself, I can change that and say it to God.” She believes like I do that we shouldn’t give credit to the created, but to the Creator. She started to say that each morning…..and guess what she started to see how good each day can be!
It is likely that RAS….Reticular Activating System…..the thing inside our brains that looks for what it is looking for. For example, when you are going to buy a certain brand of car, you start seeing it everywhere! They were always there, you just started to notice them because that’s how our brains handle incoming information.
So, as you look for good, you find a lot of good (and can then thank God for all that good). If you go around thinking things are bad…well, you notice all the bad things.
Why does this matter? It is a complete mindset shift that can transform your world! You will start to behave brighter and therefore you will attract more good to you. It is part of the way we were designed. So, don’t fight it. Look for the good in every day. Ask God to show you each morning how good today can be!
I will extol the Lord at all times;
his praise will always be on my lips.
Psalm 34:1

2022-12-20 19:50:52 +0000 UTCI agree with Maurice, you did fantastic raising your children in the truth and light of Jesus. We usually find what we are looking for. Conversely we never find what we don’t look for. Jesus says that those with eyes to see and ears to hear will find wisdom and truth in his words. Sister, I love how you lead us into the truth and light, just like you did with your incredible kiddos. Much Love ❤️

2022-12-20 13:28:54 +0000 UTCYou have taught her well. And this places much in perspective. Instead of liking IG so many posts, maybe I should like more of the Lord's posts in the Bible. Hmm. Let's see if I can "hunt the good stuff" today. I need to set reminders in my calendar to revisit your messages in the evening. To evaluate how well I did during the day.
