Good words for troubled times--be positive

⁸Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

 ⁹Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

 ¹⁰But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked opportunity.

 ¹¹Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.

 ¹²I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.

 ¹³I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Very good words for ALL times!!!

I hope you're feeling better today.

Thank you DebbieDoo.  I am trying to get out of the "Mully-grubs and this passage always inspires me to think positive no mater what else is happening.

One of my favorite passages is found in Micah 7:7-8. Therefore I will loo****o the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation; my God will hear me. Rejoice not against me oh my enemy for when I fall I shall arise and when I sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light unto me. That's pretty positive too. You know, it doesn't matter what man does to me because my salvation doesn't come from man. Our enemies can laugh and mock and come against us with lies, etc. but when I fall, I'm gonna get up again and when I'm in darkness my light is going to come from the Lord. Isn't that something?? Going through this cancer has helped teach me that I have no control over what happens to me but no matter what happens, I can turn it over to God and He will either fix it or help me get through it. Pretty assuring if you ask me.

Funny how something we thought so terrible today will be a distant memory someday and we look back on it and realize that we made it though..Kinda like how things seem so spooky and lonesome at night but each new dawn bring forth a better looking day..:)
Stomp out those mullygrubs , think of something positive and place a smile on your face for the world to see.. Sometimes easier said than done I know ...
