if you're having a down day, think of all the blessings around you. being thankful can turn your heart from pessimism to optimism. here are just a tiny short list of blessings i have been given:
there are so many blessings in our life, that it's so absolutely ridiculous to get caught up on the little things and let them carry us down. satan is a stinker and i don't like him! look to the Truth when you're feeling anything but good. let Him tell you what He thinks of you. gaze your eyes upward and see how good He is!
the Bible instructs us to think on what is true and what is good (Phil. 4: 8). Jesus is the truth (John 14:6). and the Lord is good (numerous Bible verses, like Ps 100:5)!
Try to remember, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

Hey there! Thanks for stopping by my happy little blog earlier today. I decided to visit you since you left me a link. :) Your blog is real cute; I love your "girls night out" post. What a great way to spend some time with your mom and sister!
Yep, I do the "Gratituesday" thing each and every Tuesday and link up with Laura over at Heavenly Homemakers. You should join the party!
Blessings,
Lisa :)

thanks Anwat, I reminded myself just a few minutes ago. I love this, my life (when I heard the loud birds and felt the cool air); and then "see, Telcia, you love this"
Something I've been practicing lately is telling me things that are true about my life and how it's not so bad and that I have a really good one. And I like it. My emotions can get me all discumbobulated!
Love you!
aunTelcia
happiness is desiring the things you already have.
