"Attitude"

There once was a woman who woke up one morning, looked in the mirror, and saw that she had only three hairs on her head. “Great,” she said, “I think I’ll braid my hair today.”
So she did, and had a wonderful day.
The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and saw that she had only two hairs on her head. “Hmm,” she said, “I guess I’ll part my hair down the middle.”
So she did, and had a wonderful day.
The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and saw that she had only one hair left on her head.
“Wow,” she said, “today I get to wear my hair in a pony tail.” So she did, and had a wonderful, wonderful day.
The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and saw that there wasn’t a single hair on her head.
“Thank God!” she exclaimed. “I was running out of things to do with my hair!”

 I guess ATTITUDE really is everything! In Psalm 34 David expressed this same attitude when he said, "I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth." (Psalm 34:1) 


The funny thing is that even as I write this, I'm struggling with my attitude. My kids are all over the place tonight, Danielle is trying to tell me a story but she can't between trying to cook dinner and HER children (they are always her's when they are being bad) interrupting her every few seconds. And, truth be told, it's hard to concentrate on writing a blog when your 4 year old daughter is yelling she needs more toilet paper and your son is deleting apps on your iphone! But... "I will bless the Lord" even now. haha!

As you read this, I hope you can take a moment to evaluate your attitude. In Philippians 4 the apostle Paul talks about learning "to be content whatever the circumstances." Do you consider yourself "content today?

I guess it's a question of attitude.
