It's Up to Me
Some years ago while going through one of those trying times that is part of living, I
posted the following thought on my office wall: "It's up to you to have a good day."
It reminded me that it's not up to others to make my day. A good day does not depend
on people, events, or things. It's my attitude that determines whether I have a good
day or a bad day.
With the right attitude I can:
Be joyful when enduring trials.
Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that
the testing of your faith produces endurance.
James 1:2-3
Have joy in suffering for what is right.
But even if you should suffer for the sake of righteousness, you are blessed.
1 Peter 3:14
Be joyful with another who has reason to rejoice.
Rejoice with those who rejoice.
Romans 12:15
~~~~~~~
Have a good day!
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice!
Philippians 4:4
