RESTORING AND STRENGTHENING RELATIONSHIPS: Part 2

A cheerful heart is a good medicine, but a downcast spirit dries up the bones (Proverbs 17:22).

"Don't worry.  Be happy."  There is much wisdom in that little phrase.  Because God is our Father, everything is going to work out for good.  So it is our responsibility to have a positive sense of humor, to re frame life events so that the light of God's provision is seen in them, to learn to not take ourselves so seriously.  What I'm saying is, no one likes to be around a contentious, negative, critical person.  Unless you are hanging around a lot of other contentious, negative and critical people, your spouse and your friends will love you for it!  Don't be thin-skinned.  Learn to take a joke.

Our Father's Love,
Tom
