Attitude

Hi!

Today we had our monthly VM pastor's fellowship. The following was shared and then in my devotions today I came across the attitude helpers. I pray that it will speak to you as it has to me.

Attitude by Charles Swindoll

"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. It will make or break a company.. a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past.. we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude... I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our attitudes."

Attitude helpers:
1. Pray for those you serve and for yourself.
2. Pray specifically about your attitude toward your work.
3. Make a list of verses that encourage you in joy.
4. Do your work unto the Lord.
5. Tackle each task creatively.
6. Be energetic.
7. Look for the benefits-this will lighten your load.
8. Value each day one step at a time.

How will you live today? How closely will you walk with God?
Incorporate these attitude helpers into your life. When you choose to live with a willing, happy heart, you become a source of God-given joy to all! Desire to be all that God wants you to be!

Praying you will have a great week in our Lord!

Blessings,
