I just read an amazing story on another blog called Ordinary Hero! It is a MUST read for everyone! Just click on the link or on the logo on the side of my blog and scroll down and read this amazing story (called The Little Hero) about an 8 year old brother taking care of his 11 month old sister.
It never fails...when I am having a so called "bad day" and I ask God for a better attitude or help... he always directs me to someone who really is having a BAD day (or life in some cases)! It just puts everything back into perspective for me. I am so selfish and clueless sometimes! I just want to encourage whoever may be reading this, (including myself) to pay attention and think about the things we really complain or get upset about. They are usually just ridiculous and petty things. We can change the way we think... I know it may take practice and habit, but it IS possible. That is exactly what God wants us to do...take every thought captive and give it to Him... and trust me He will get you thinking clearly!
Be the change you wish to see in the world.
