This is OUR Playground
How was your week? I hope it was amazing! Everything is going great here in Bathurst! Getting colder and colder! Love it! We are hitting the negatives in the mornings now and today, when we left the flat, it was -2 Celsius. Life is great! The other morning when we went out for a run it was -4C. Winter is certainly upon us!
How did you all go with the invitation I left with you last week? To
TRUST IN THE LORD and allow yourself to be changed by following him
IMMEDIATELY? I hope that you have made necessary changes in your life to allow
yourself to be changed by and through the Saviour!
This week I was on trade-offs with Sister Tysoe (who is amazing) and she
shared a short story with me! And I felt like this would be something great to
share with all of you too!
As A Man Thinketh
A wise man stood at the gate of an ancient city and greeted travelers as they arrived.
One day, a traveler asked him
"What kinds of people live in this city?"
The wise man answered with a question of his own.
"What kinds of people live in the city whence you came?"
The wise man answered with a question of his own.
"What kinds of people live in the city whence you came?"
The traveler replied:
"Oh they are very bad people; deceitful and devil-worshiping."
"You'll find the same kind of people in this city," sighed the
wise man.
Sometime later, a second traveler came to the gate and asked the wise
man the same question.
"What kinds of people live in this city?"
The wise man again replied with his question:
"What kinds of people live in the city whence you came?"
The second traveler replied:
"Oh they are very good people; hard working, generous and God
fearing."
"You will find the same kind of people in this city" smiled
the wise man.
Have you ever noticed that people can usually find whatever they are
looking for? Look hard enough and you can discover both good and bad in almost
anyone and anything.
Here is another
story:
While looking for a new home, a young couple talked to potential neighbors about the neighborhood and the schools in the area. One woman they
spoke to said of the school her children were attending "This is the most
incredible place! The principal is a wonderful and good man; the teachers are
well qualified, kind, and friendly. I am so pleased that our children can
attend this wonderful school! You'll love it here!"
A different woman said of her children's school: "It's a terrible
place. The principal is self-absorbed; the teachers are unqualified, rude, and
unfriendly. If I could afford to move out of this area, I'd do it in a
heartbeat!"
The funny thing about this story is that both women were speaking about
the same principal, the same teachers and the same school!
We all have a CHOICE. We can seek the bad or negative aspects in others
and in situations that we are facing. Or, we can choose to see people and
experiences as opportunities to learn and grow; as something positive! It is
our CHOICE!
My invitation to you all this week is to MAKE THE CHOICE! Make the
choice to LOOK for the good! To SEE the good! To SEEK the good! I promise you
that as you do this that you will be happier. You will be able to see the
blessings that you have in your life more fully. You will be able to be a light
to others as you make the choice to look, see and seek for the good in all
things!
I love you!
