I came across this quote by Charles Swindoll regarding attitude will reading The Difference Maker.

“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company…a church….a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past…we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude…I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you…we are in charge of our attitudes.”
― Charles Swindoll

I was faced yesterday with a situation where i was forced to test my ability to control my attitude,  I found out that my step son was playing Xbox while he has been grounded late at night, i got very upset when i first found out early in the morning> i have been trying to have more patience with him because i know our relationship needs positive support, however the sheer lack of respect really bothered me. Before i took him to school i had to remind myself to not let that negative situation control my attitude and how i approach the situation with him and then my day ahead.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it. Too often we ignore these words of wisdom from Psalm 118.  We are too busy thinking about tomorrow and where we want to be.  Or we are too consumed wanting that next promotion.  God has put each and every one of us in this place at this moment.  It is our task to make the most of it.  It should be our expectation to do the best we can in the here and now. Do it today, and the future will be ready for us.  And we will be ready for the future.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Been out the last week and a half as my kids had COVID. God used that time to show me what I was taking for granted. First was F3, I wouldn’t work out or be who I am if it weren’t for the men of F3. Second was my kids. My girls are 3 and 7 and sometimes I would get annoyed about someone always wanting to sit on my lap or play some crazy game that was made up as we go along. That was until I couldn’t. The night my 7 year of was in tears because she couldn’t hug me really showed how much I take for granted. What are you taking for granted? Ask God to reveal that to you.
