Being Happy With What Is

1. 

   "This is the day that the Lord has made.  Let us rejoice and be glad in it." Psalm 118:24
   
   

   Would we be living life differently if we lived every day as if it really were a day the Lord had made?  I read recently that almost no thoughts are new.  Most thoughts are negative, and we can consider that the thoughts are universal and traveling by us on a conveyor belt.  Our task and opportunity is to decide which thoughts to pick up off the conveyor belt.  That simplifies the whole thought thing for me.  If we consider that the thoughts are not original with us, but part of the collective whole -- it makes it less personal and perhaps easier to say "No thanks." to thoughts that do not serve us.  Today, on this day that the Lord has made, let us choose thoughts that support the well being of ourselves and others.
