Today’s Truth
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! (Philippians 4:4 NIV).

Lord, please keep me contagious for good! :D
Help me to "stem the tide of malice" where it's begun, and to not start something whether I can finish it or not, unless it be from You.

"Gretchen had an effervescent sense of joy … wiping toilet seats. It seemed to come from a deep-seated heart of gratitude. And it spilled over to every single woman who left her station.
"On the counter rested a tip jar filled to the brim with thanks. But I don’t think the 'tips' were for wiping the germs away from the toilet seats, but for wiping the doldrums away from their hearts and frowns off of their faces. And for some strange reason, I just wanted to give Gretchen a hug. I did. She didn’t mind."

[A good attitude helps others want to spend more time with you.]

Let’s Pray
God, I am so thankful today. Thank You for eyes that see, ears that hear, lips that speak, legs that walk, and arms that hug. Thank You that I have a roof over my head, shoes on my feet, and food in my pantry. I pray You will set a guard over the door of my mouth so that no grumbling will escape its threshold. Help me be a contagious carrier of gratitude.
In Jesus’ Name,
Amen.
