Attidude It Truly Is Everything

Attitude is Everything 1/24/08
Hebrews 12:1&2

“Therefore since we also have such a large cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us lay aside every weight and the sin that so easily ensnares us, and run with endurance the race that lies before us, keeping our eyes on Jesus, the source and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that lay before Him endured the cross and despised the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of God’s throne.”

What comes along in our life is not as important as “how we deal with it, how we process through it”

If we are to remain a person with character and integrity here is a list of things we will need:
To remain in control-emotionally, financially, intellectually
To FIGHT to remain positive
To keep focused

If we can accomplish those three things then this word Hebrews 12:1&2, says this will be the results:
1. We will be up to something and others will look and wonder
2. We will be influencing others, setting a standard-a measuring reed!
3. We will not quit
4. We will be running our own race for excellence
5. We will have a secret and that will tantalize everyone else
6. We can then share with everyone that our source of strength is none other than Jesus
7. We will be like the body of a bird, patient and ready waiting for God to be the wings that make us soar!

So lets see now…..Attitude…….control, fight, keep it positive through all circumstances so that…….
We can finish well, with endurance and excellence……..have our faith perfected, and be full of the Joy of Jesus…..yep I want some of that…..how about you?

What can I do?

Many come to me with this question.....I believe it is a truthful question, and also that they are not trying to dodge the issue, they truly do not know. They watch the news, read the news paper and watch it happen often within their own family and still they ask.

So let me start this blog with some ideas of what you (we) can do................

Kids need adults, they need the comfort and protection of grown ups...you could be that adult

Kids need to know that there is a safe place that they can run to for protection...you could provide that in your neighborhood

Sometimes kids need to be taught the truth......if you have the truth, then you can teach that to them

Kids need the comfort of showing affection without any consequences.....you can give a hug, comfort a hurt and put no conditions on that act

Kids need unconditional care and love......

Send us your list......give us ideas of ways that Kids Needs and Comfort are being met without consequences attached or some condition for earning it......
