You can change your feelings

Sometimes, we get to this time of day and realize that it was an okay day, but there was no exhilaration or strong passion in this day and we could use a jolt of joy.This is the time of day some people reach for energy drinks or an extra strong coffee. May I suggest another way to change your energy level. This change will come from the inside and work better than anything you can find on the outside.
Take five minutes in a quiet place. (the bathroom? ). Quiet your mind, open the door to your gratitude list. Count your blessings. Be amazed by how blessed you are, have been, and how you look forward to more of God's goodness. Sit for one moment in that joy. Stand and walk out into the great joy of how good God is. You have been saved so many times in the past, you have never felt the real consequences of anything you have done or not done. Rejoice, it is all good. Wear that gratitude like a new designer suit.

It's good! Real good!

Peace

  1. Love, love, love gratitude lists. When I am having a hard time sleeping because of a hard day, I pull out my gratitude journal and write, write, write. It helps me go to sleep with a smile.
