Tarheel Heather Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I will remain in good spirits and focus on the blessings of life! I will not be discouraged, and believe things will fall into place. I will not focus on nor contemplate what I do not know. This is not in my control. I will make it a good day!

Jean in Newcastle Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Heather, Have you ever read Brother Lawrence? He was a monk who learned that he could still worship God even while doing mundane tasks. When I'm in a funk or am feeling discouraged or like complaining, I will often bring a hymn book along with me so that I can sing while folding clothes. And I will pray while in the shower or while loading the dishwasher - not a complaining prayer but praying for others: the neighbors, the people who are rubbing me the wrong way, my family, my church, the nation. . .

I'm glad you brought this up! I have not read it, but I've heard of him, and I think of him sometimes. So, when I have to fold laundry or do dishes or clean the toilets, I try to think positive things, and be thankful for what I have and pray and sing as well! I also think about the disciples in prison, after being beaten. They sang! It helps me get things in perspective better, I think, and helps me make it through the tough times....
