Happy "NEW THINKING" Monday!!! Ok...now if you were not able to be in service with us yesterday...WOAH! Let me just say...it was nothing short of amazing! I could seriously write PAGES about everything that spoke to me, but for the sake of time and not spoiling it for those that would like to watch/listen to it...I WON'T :-) My FIL (father-in-law) started a new series on "How Your Mind Can Mess Up Your Marriage...
Did you know that we think an average of 12,000 thoughts per day?? WHAT?!?!?! And 80% of those thoughts are negative...AHHHH!!! So the questions yesterday, in light of those facts, were...How many of those are on our marriage? And how many of those thoughts on marriage are thoughts that will build and bring life to it? STOP....Collaborate....and LISTEN!!! (love me some ice, ice baby!)
#1 and ONLY HUGE point yesterday was this::::
NOTHING CHANGES IN MY LIFE, UNTIL MY THINKING CHANGES!!! We must accept responsibility for our marriage and do our part...REGARDLESS of whether or not our spouse is willing to do his/hers. I loved how my 'FIL' (see above for abbreviation notes..LOL) used the verse in Philippians 4:8 as a GRID/FILTER to process all of our thoughts through...Now....that is one heck of a challenge....
Fix your thoughts on what is:
true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, and admirable, excellent and worthy of praise
WOWZA...now if that is not something practical to leave you with...I'm not sure what would be! Please enjoy watching/listening to the message here you will be so glad that you did!...and next week we continue with PART 2!
