"The influence of a beautiful, helpful, hopeful character is contagious, and may revolutionize a whole town…. People radiate what is in their minds and in their hearts. If a man feels kindly and obliging, his neighbors will feel that way, too, before long.But if he scolds and
scowls and criticizes—his neighbors will return scowl for scowl, and add interest! … When you look for the bad, expecting it, you will get it. When you know you will find the good—you will get that…”
~ Eleanor H. Porter
The above is from Pollyanna, that famous book about being positive no matter what.
Today, may we strive to be glad often and about many things. For...
“... if God took the trouble to tell us eight hundred times to be glad and rejoice, He must want us to do it—SOME.”
And if you find yourself stuck in focusing on what's wrong about something, keep aiming to shift in your way of seeing, because...
"...there is something about everything that you can be glad about, if you keep hunting long enough to find it.”
And if it seems hard, remember...
"...there's so much more fun when it is hard!”
May we shift again and again into seeing the good, being glad, and influencing whole towns, the
whole world, even.
Wishing you a day of beauty, gladness, and fun playing "the Glad Game."
Planning to play,
Charlene
