| Beware: The "Glad" Game |
|
| |
There have been things that have been going on in my life right now that have been very hard to handle. (Sorry, I can't go into detail yet-- There are still a couple of people I need to talk to personally before the information goes "mychurch.") Well, I was talking with a close friend yesterday who is also going through a rough time. We realized that instead of complaining and feeling sorry for ourselves that we needed to change our attitude. As a result, we decided to play the "Glad" game. For those of you who have never read the book "Pollyanna" (which is a MUST for every girl!), the main character Pollyanna makes up a game called the "Glad" game. In this game, whenever Pollyanna feels sad, she thinks of something for which she is glad. I've decided to start the game on here. Here is my top ten list for which I am most glad for tonight. I encourage you to post your own list. Beware, though: Only play this game if you want to feel better aftwerwards! Here's my list:
I'm glad that . . .
1. I'm healthy
2. Most of my family is healthy
3. I got to spend time playing with my niece and nephew today
4. I got a hug from my someone today
5. My closest friend got to spend the night last night instead of just stopping by like she planned
6. I get to spend another day with my brother and his family tomorrow as we head to the lake
7. My aunt let us borrow her car so that we could afford to drive to my brother's house today
8. I have understanding and caring relatives
9. God is teaching me to have joy in all circumstances
10. It's quiet because everybody is in bed--which means I get some time to myself! :D
Okay, now it's your turn . . .What are you most glad for? |

Friends like you !
God restoring the things I thought were gone.
Grandchildren !!
Did I already say Grandchildren?
Seeing my kids grow up to be really great people.
A Church that loves and encourages me.
Friends on the Worship team.
A worship team that doesn't mind me making strange sounds on my synthesizer.
MyChurch, great people, great ministry, and creative programming.
That God still speaks to His people.
That we are His people.
That God has made me who I am, in His image and likeness, a child and His heir.
Did I remember to mention grandchildren?
I quess I can end on children! |
