Blessings

Do you focus on the negative or the positive? I suppose I'm wishy-washy and go back and forth, but I believe I'm usually more positive than negative. (I hope you think that, too.) But things happen frequently that could make us have negative attitudes if we choose to. At the local airport last Wednesday we were supposed to leave at 2:45 p.m. A bird, one of God's smaller creatures, chose to fly into the engine and make a plane in Sacramento unable to fly to OKC. They tried to fix it and couldn't get parts quickly. Instead they flew a plane from Denver to Sacrament to pick up people there and bring them to OKC. Then we were able to get on the plane to leave for Sacramento about 8 p.m. We sat at the airport from 12:30 to 8 p.m. waiting. It was discouraging, but it was a time we got to meet people from OKC, even one from Houston, and talk about our church and one in Texas. I didn't see one person yelling about the delay. Choosing a positive attitude helps us stop and count our blessings instead of focusing on one small thing. Delays don't usually change our life significantly. We can, instead, count our blessings and get our perspective back in focus. Strive to be positive and show people around you how a Christian can make the best out of not-so-good events.
