Wholesome Thoughts and Words

Good Afternoon.....

This morning I got it together and wrapped the gifts I purchased for the younger grandchildren. Yesterday I put a little cash in money holders for the bigger kids. I've come to the place in life where giving them money is far more wise than trying to buy a gift they won't really use or don't really need. Little kids are thrilled with anything. So, I am ready for Sunday as far as gifts are concerned.

All of my life I have fought off thinking dark gloomy thoughts when ever I am sick. I know that it is no fun to be around me at those times. I turned on the television this morning and James Robison had a guest brain specialist who also is a Christian. Her message hit me square between the eyeballs. I simply don't trust my Lord. Yes in many ways I do but in this area of life...I simply don't. She talked about how the body (Christ's temple) goes into healing mode when we think the thoughts of Christ who in Phillipians tells us to think on these things; things that are wholesome, pure, of good report etc. I was taken to task by Jesus. I knelt on my knees this morning and gave Him my body. Strange isn't it? He gives us His broken body for our healing and we hang on for dear life thinking that if we try to protect our bodies or heal ourselves we are better off. How stupid. After hearing that gal, I decided to change my day. I will have a good one because God has gone before me and made my way smooth.

6Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
8Finally, brothers, 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. 9Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.


Then shortly after that show, Joyce Meyer came on with Dr Paul Meier. Guess what their topic was? Attitude and changing ones mind. Oh, by the way, the former speaker said one can turn their attitude and thoughts around in four days. God give me the strength, peace and comfort to stick with your will. Dr. Meier said to wear a rubber band and each time you think or say a negative thought, snap it. I am wearing a rubber band. I've snapped it twice today so far.
