Food For Thought Fridays: A Joyful Heart

Do you have one of those jobs that makes you question why you have a job? Are you one of those people who are constantly filling out applications and hoping to be saved by some magical phone call? Got a co-worker that makes you question why murder is illegal? Calm down! You’re not alone. 58% of people planned on changing jobs this year (Career Builder, 2014). Or maybe it’s not your job. It might be an annoying spouse, or your car may seem to be giving up on you. Sure these things are frustrating, but never forget to keep the right perspective. There are some people who would love to have your problems. As much as you may hate your job, there is someone out there wishing they could have a job to hate. There is someone wishing they owned a car to sit instead of relying on public transportation, or that annoying co-worker who talks nonstop on the commute to work. Someone would love to have a spouse or kids to annoy them. Or the house you think is too small for you. Having the right attitude can get you through almost any situation! So even though you can’t change or control that annoying co-worker or the husband who doesn’t seem to notice you any more or the car that you probably should let go of but can’t afford to just yet, you can control how these things make you feel. Don’t make yourself unhappy by dwelling on the negative things in life. Going into this Halloween weekend, will you be tricked or treated? Stay positive and enjoy the day no matter what happens. Proverbs 17:22 says, “A joyful heart is good medicine, But a broken spirit dries up the bones.”
