Attitude is Everything

Attitude is everything.  When things do not go your way there are many ways you can handle it.  I was reminded of that last night at the production.  I have a friend who struggles with a terrible disease called ALS that steals your body functions one at a time.  We are blog buddies, but last night we got to see each other face to face.  Talking to him reminded me that God knows every detail of our lives …even where we sit at a concert or a play.  In addition, God loves us so much that he orders even the smallest details for our pleasure.  He sends friends (that will feed us cheesecake when we cannot feed ourselves), he allows us to meet people we never would have meet otherwise.  My friend also told me of how God has allowed him to affect others through his disease.  He has had so much more impact than if he had not gotten sick.  What the enemy meant for evil, God has transformed into good.  That strength of spirit is a testimony to the grace of God, even as my friend’s body is wasting away.  What courage and faith that shows in his personal relationship with a loving, caring God whom he knows deeply.  Through all the difficulties, God proves faithful.  I needed that lesson.  Even in the chemo delays, he is with me and he cares about the little details…like seeing a friend at just the right time.  Thanks Frank. God blesses others, like me, through you.  I am glad you are my blog buddy, I’d be honored to feed you cheesecake anytime. ;)

One thought on “Attitude is Everything

  1. “Living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life;
    not somuch by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens. Circumstances
    and situations do color life but you have given the mind to choose what the color shall be.” (J.H.Miller)
    You are doing well, keep the faith . RWG
