I have been sick over the past two weeks. And it has been cold, rainy, and dark
in Boston. This does not make for
a happy-camper Emily.
“Think sunny thoughts” – The advice given to me by a friend.
“I can’t! I am
grumpy” – Thought the frustrated Emily.
But the reality is these sunny thoughts would probably have
a positive impact on how I feel and act, even during the dreary days.
Where we chose to focus our attention is where our conscious
will dwell. There is more than
images of sunshine happening psychologically when we think happy thoughts; it
influences our whole being, how we think, how we feel, and how we act.
Today, find something positive to meditate on. Find those “happy thoughts” that
allowed the Darling children to fly in Peter Pan. Because your thoughts are powerful.
If you are struggling, here is a happy thought:
God created you, out of dust God formed you, fearfully and wonderfully God made
you. God loved you into creation,
and God walks with you every step of your life. God knows you, we do not have to be scared to turn our fears
and insecurities over to God because God already sees those pieces of us and
God loves us anyway, unconditionally.
Jesus says “Come to me, all of you
who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest” (Matthew
11:28).
Turn your burdens over to Jesus. And meditate “I am strong. I am beautiful.
I am a child of God.”
