Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in beliving, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.  Romans 15:13.
 
Your attitude is your choice, It always is. We live in an age that has developed the art of shifting blame to very high levels, and sometimes we get caught up in that same tendency.  "Well, if you had my job you wouldn't be so positive."  "If you had my kids, you wouldn't feel so good."  "If only my boss were different, I could be a positive person."  In other words, "My bad attitude is not my fault!"
 
You shall go out with joy and be led out with peace; the mountains and the hills shall break forth into singing before you, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.  Isaiah 55:12.
 
"You shall go out with joy"...The truth is, however, your attitude and mine are always our choice.  No matter how bad things are, no one can force you to haave a bad attitude if you don't want to, and no matter how good things are, no one can force you to have a good attitude if you don't want to.  Now that should come as really good news because it says our attitudes don't have to be the victims of our circumstances or of other people.  We choose our responses.
 
And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.  Romans 8:28.
 
I've got to work on my attitude, how about you?  God Bless all, Love in Christ, Sister Betty
