Let It Go... and not the Frozen Kind.

As part of my dream/goal list for the year, is reading the entire Bible in a year. I started with the New Version ap and the Bible in a Year plan. Finished Day 5 today. Also successfully got up EARLY and read in the quiet or the morning. I miss those daily quiet times.

So, today's reading included Matthew 5, The Beatitudes "Beautiful Attitudes" ...

Matt 5:3-12  "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heave. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you."

Matt 5:14-16 "You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in Heaven."

Now this pic is not a great one, but my new water bottle has the same verse ^^, which is also on my "To-Do" list for 2015... Be a LIGHT to those around me.

So today, I'm working on both being a light and having a Beautiful Attitude, one of mercy. There were a few things that came up this weekend that really did not give me a beautiful attidute. I was angry, hurt and earlier felt like I should give someone my real thoughts on the situation. But instead, I will be merciful, I will be a peacemaker, and I will be a light. Even though they may not see me or my light. I will let it shine anyway!

So, today I said, "LET IT GO!" Let go of the negativity, let go of the critical remarks. And give yourself a dose of positivity today. I know it helped me!
