Last week, I left you with some thoughts and questions to contemplate. I do want to thank you so very much for the shares that I have received!
For this week, let's focus on the last one that was asked, "What beautiful thoughts, words, people, and anything else, are you surrounding your life with that brings your heart joy?"
You may or may not be amazed, but these do influence your day to day decisions, relationships and emotions. As I was reading last night this verse came up:
"Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things."
Philippians 4:8 NIV
How timely, wouldn't you say? Especially while we are going through this phase of winter. There can be very difficult moments when the sky is gray or you have to stay inside for one reason or another.
This week, may I challenge you to intentionally think about such things. Please be gentle on yourself too. There may be days where it could be quite a struggle. Maybe even print up that verse and have it handy to read each day and when you need reminding.
Will you take up the challenge?
What support do you need?
