There's a story about a grandma and grandpa who invited their grandkids over to spend the afternoon.
Grandpa decided to take his afternoon nap, so he laid down on the sofa for his rest. While asleep, the grandkids decided to get some Limburger Cheese and put it in grandpa's mustache.
Once awake, grandpa sniffles and says, "This room stinks!" Then he goes out into the kitchen and says, "It stinks in here too!" Finally he goes outside to get some fresh air and declares, "Whoa, the whole world stinks!"
If we relate this story to our attitudes and the way we wake up to approach our day, we must be careful of what's in our "mustache" or on our minds. There's nothing like having a clean fresh-air approach to your morning, your afternoon and your LIFE, than to have a fresh-thinking attitude with pleasant thoughts!
The Bible talks about thinking on whatsoever things are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, things that are of good report, things that bring praise or virtue....THINK ON THESE THINGS!
There's a sure-fire way to avoid the "stinking-thinking" mentioned above; that is to give out compliments. It truly is that simple! Giving compliments actually does just as much for the giver, if not more, than for the receiver.
Try it out & let me know how your day smells!
