Where Are Your Thoughts Today?

An article by Joyce Meyer got my attention.  She was talking about the idea that we become what we think about, so if we focus on negative things, then we become negative people.  Too often in the last couple of years, my thoughts have gone down negative paths, fueled by stress and grief and being overwhelmed.  This article really hit home: I've been working on tackling each issue, but it always takes more time than I think it will to come to a place of understanding and learn how to cope or change my life.

The Bible teaches us to focus on what is right, pure, lovely, admirable (Phil. 4:8), clearly positive things.  I  strive every day to find the blessings and to turn away from negative thoughts.....it's an ongoing battle, but one that I think is worth fighting....one step at a time.
