Something to think about

Ever been in a "blue" mood, just not sure what is going on, if it's the weather, the job, school, or relationship issues? 

Today I had a thought that helped me pull out of one of those moods.  Yes, I actually get them too!

A scripture read at church yesterday came to mind and as I meditated on it, things began to look better and better.

Very simple, its about giving.  Not necessarily money, but just giving.  When we truly examine ourselves, how much do we think about giving to others like we think about being given something?

What helped me and maybe will help you too is I began to think of all the people in my life that could use encouragement and a kind word, so I began acting on that thought and gave out as many blessings as I could think of.  Thinking that when I get kind words or encouraging words, it makes me feel really good and ready to "take on whatever situation needs to be taken on" with the strength that only comes from the Lord.

So, I'm just saying, if you are in one of those "blue" moods, start giving to others what you would like to have in your life.

You'll not likely go wrong here if you keep remembering that our Master said, "You're far happier giving than getting".  Acts 20:35 (Message)
