Keep a Healthy Perspective
Let us not become weary in doing good for at the proper time we will reap a harvest, if we do not give up. (Galatians 6:9)
I am enjoying this 7 week series of learning how to live a joy-filled life with you. I would love to hear how you took time to maximize your moments last week. How did you minimize your distractions and get the most out of the moments that God gave you? Please feel free to share your thoughts with me or if you need to read last week’s secret you can read Maximize your Moments.
This week, I want to share my second secret to a joy-filled life. A joy-filled life is only possible when we keep a healthy perspective. This morning, as I went to work to clean out the dishwasher once again and unload the clean dishes I was faced with a choice. I could grumble and complain that here I am once again taking care of these dishes. The pile of dishes is unending and as long as people eat in my house (which I’m pretty sure with three boys in the house, that will not end soon) I need to remind myself how blessed we are. Those dishes remind me that God has provided for our family. We have not gone without a meal. My boys have never had to wonder if their little tummies will be filled.
