This morning I was greeted with a beautiful mist over the river. Monet came to mind with one of his misty water paintings. Serene moment to just breathe in the calmness out there and in my heart. Ebb and flow surfaced as I observed the muted colors and heard the mallards flapping and swimming around. Calmness. Peaceful. In and out those emotions flow.
Our social media notifications that pop up can steal those emotions very quickly causing us stress and overwhelm with our world’s chaos. In my quiet time I was reminded of the verses that tell us to think on whatever is pure, just, truth, peaceful…Think on these things. Do the things we share bring life, hope and uplift one another or despair and fear. Today I will concentrate on being light and life, not tearing down or fear. Our thoughts are who we are. Guarding my heart is not always easy but something I choose to work on.
Our journey here definitely has ebb and flow. Choose to let your words bring life not despair. Remember the peaceful and serene moments that you have encountered when fear tries to creep in. Protect your precious heart when others, as well as yourself, try to bring you down with the gloom of the world. It’s so easy to slip down that black hole. You cannot stop a thought from surfacing but you can choose how you will react.
For those of you who are Bible readers I leave you with this verse:
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. Philippians 4:8.
As a man thinks..so is he❤️. To be intentional with our thoughts as they ebb and flow is a goal worth pursuing. 🪷🪷🪷
