I may not see in front of me, But I can see for miles around when I look over my shoulder, and Lord, it`s clear. You`ve brought me here, So faithful every step of the way. What can I do but follow you, For You are the Way, the Truth, the Life, And You`ve promised never to leave me, My Savior, my friend, From beginning to end.
I Am Found In You

A cheerful look brings joy to the heart, and good news gives health to the bones. Proverbs 15:30 NIV
It's Monday again! Is the glass half empty or half full? How are you going to start your week? Will this be a good, productive week, or one you wish would have never come?
Let's do something together! You might call it "a little experiment" or an "exercise". This week, let's make a difference in the lives of those around us. Chances are that if you don't like Monday's, your co-workers don't either. How about working to make the week better for them?
I know, it won't be easy, especially with oh what's his name, but on Friday, you'll be pleased with the results. You smile, I'll smile, we'll all smile. Someone says one thing negative, you and I will say two things positive. Someone is harsh, difficult, lazy, low-down, good for nothing, hateful (okay...you get the idea), you be gentle, kind, forgiving, hard-working, easy to get along with, loving, cheerful...(do you get the opposite idea too?).
We could call it "Make a Difference Week". We could print buttons that say "smile, God loves you". We could giggle a lot. We could invite someone to lunch. We could simply be different than displaying the Monday blues.
Are you with me? Let me know how it goes!
