What Do
You See?
by
Barbara Philbrook
When looking
at a rainbow what exactly do you see,
are you enjoying it's beauty or dwelling on the storm
that caused it to be?
Are you
seeing the spectrum of colors and their beautiful hue,
or are you instead worrying over how much the rain has
inconvenienced you?
When you
observe Cumulus Clouds in the sky,
are you fretting over them or do you enjoy the
fascinating shapes as they float by?
As the
Cumulus Clouds block out the sunshine up there so high,
do you find beauty in the silver lining or do you heave a
big sigh?
When you
see a bee hovering around a pretty flower,
do you see the intricate beauty or worry over the bee's
stinging power?
At the
sight of this busily working insect collecting pollen to
take home,
is it a vision of interest or are you worrying if he'll
leave you alone?
You are
looking at a glass with liquid exactly to the half way
mark,
are you happy that it's half full or do you bellow it's
half empty with a bark?
Can you
remember the saying what you see is what you get,
truth is that what you choose to think about, what you
see, can bring you joy or make you fret?
Absolutely
nothing you see, hear, or do,
can make you happy or cause you to feel blue.
So when
you notice that your feelings' barometer is dropping
down,
rethink your reaction to your present situation and
you'll be wearing a smile instead of a frown.
You see
God gave to each and every one of us the ability to
choose,
and whether you decide to go with positive or negative
determines whether or not that frown you will loose.
Now we all
are aware that Satan is not going to be thrilled if
everyone chooses to think in a positive way, but those of
us who have Jesus in our hearts don't care about him and
as for all of
you others, we'll all pray.
