adjust yours?

Attitudes. There's good ones, bad ones, sour ones, sweet ones, pink ones... I think I've made my point- there's lots. Our attitude for the day is usually determined at the moment we wake up; often the way we're woken up has a lot to do with it. For example, waking up to the warm sun on your face vs. a small child pounding you in the head with a pillow - I know which one I'd like more. So here we are: ready to face the day. Do we have a good attitude or a sour one? Did "someone wake up on the wrong side of the bed?" (or- my personal favorite: "pee in your cheerios this morning?") Our whole day is governed by our attitudes; often, when we're in a bad mindset the Lord has little room to work in our lives and use us. This isn't a new concept, I'm not bringing something mind-blowing to the table, I'm just realizing how much our attitude or, outlook on the day, if you will, changes how the Lord uses us.

The Lord loves to use us, He finds great joy in using us. Who would want to work through someone who's angry and bitter? The Lord delights in using us, so are we in the right attitude to truly show His love and life to others, or are we too busy whining about the annoying, even untimely fashion we were roused this morning?
