“If a person gets his attitude
toward money straight,
it will help straighten out
almost every other area
in his life.”
“It is not the body’s posture,
but the heart’s attitude that
counts when we pray.”
Author: Billy Graham

“The remarkable thing is,
we have a choice everyday
regarding the attitude we
will embrace for that day.”
“We cannot change our past.
We can not change the fact that
people act in a certain way.
We can not change the inevitable.
The only thing we can do is
play on the one string we have,
and that is our attitude.”
“Words can never adequately convey
the incredible impact of our
attitudes toward life.
The longer I live the more convinced
I become that life is 10 percent
what happens to us and
90 percent how we respond to it.”
Author: Chuck Swindoll

“O Holy Spirit,
descend plentifully into my heart.
Enlighten the dark corners
of this neglected dwelling
and scatter there Thy
cheerful beams.
Author: Augustine

“Let us seek the grace of a cheerful heart,
an even temper,
sweetness,
gentleness,
and brightness of mind,
as walking in His light,
and by His grace.
Let us pray to Him to give us the spirit
of ever-abundant,
everspringing love,
which overpowers and sweeps away
the vexations of life by its own
richness and strength,
and which, above all things,
unites us to Him who is the fountain
and the centre of all mercy,
loving-kindness, and joy.”
Author: John Henry Newman

Attitude
I have discovered that attitude is a big
maker or breaker for me.
Sometimes I just do not have the ability
to pull my self up by my boot straps
and suck it up….
in other words….
put on a happy face when I am crushed
in spirit and so broken hearted.
Other times I am as gitty as a child
in a candy store.
We all have issues that hurt us and
crush us.
We all have issues that arise that
makes us madder than a hornet
on a hot sultry day.
We all have issues that drops our
heart and spirit into the bottomless
pits of despair.
We all have issues that makes us
so nervous that it shakes us to the
core of our being.
We all have to face frustrations
in our daily lives…..
these frustrations sometimes
makes us as crazy as the Mad
Hatter in the Alice in Wonderland
Story Books.
Then we have some really awesome
and wonderfully sweet joyful
moments.
Each emotion was created by God!
Our emotions are apart of our
DNA makeup.
God created us as emotional beings….
Sometimes we experience all our
emotions in one day….
That would be us ladies, mostly…..
I call it my female emotional
rollercoaster—LOL 😀
However, we can not allow
our emotions to dictate to us.
We can not allow our emotions
to keep us in a bad attitude
day and night.
We must deal with our emotions
and make our attitude submit
to the Word of God….
We must be in self-control.
When I have a no good,
very bad day…..
and nothing seems to go right
for me…..
I make myself read Gods
Holy Anointed Words
and I soak in His radiate
SONSHINE all through
my mind, will, emotion,
heart and spirit.
Then I put in some really
awesome praise music….
raise my hands and
sing from the depths of
my soul….literally 😀
God does say make a
joyful NOISE….LOL
The only way to get an
attitude in check is to
seek God.
Read Gods word.
Sing praises to God.
Crucify the flesh.
and
Seek the Holy Spirits
guidance in the situation.
Then Yield and Obey
Gods instructions,
corrections, and
directions.
Just learning to lean on
Jesus Day in and Day out 😀
Then we can learn to have an
attitude like Jesus…..
Philippians 2:5 NIV
“Your attitude should be
the same as that of
Christ Jesus.”
amen 😀
