Our Focus

Each day we wake up. 
Each day we are given a choice. 
Is today going to be a good day or a bad day?
The question is not:
"are my life circumstances better or worse 
than someone else's?"
There are SO many people out there, 
and even SO many people so close to us,
who's life circumstances are worse than ours. 
What is our focus?
Does our day suck more than your day?
Does our day suck more than yesterday?
Are we going to let our day suck at all?
Permission:
We do have permission to have a bad day. 
We do not have permission to be ugly about it. 
We have permission to "be in the dumps" for a moment. 
We do not have permission to "stew" on the moment. 
God calls us to rejoice, have faith, and trust in HIM for the future. 
No matter what the "level" of our "bad circumstances". 
In all reality, there is always SOMEONE, 
who "has it much worse". 
Where is YOUR focus?
