In other words, you choose your life, that is to say, you choose all the conditions of your life, when you choose the thoughts upon which you allow your mind to dwell.”
I choose to dwell on the endless gifts… #1061-1085
child in kitchen, whipping up pudding, humming “Standing on the Promises of God”
Dollops of whip cream
laughing so hard our sides hurt
Making
Adults pumping swings higher
Taking new-to-us back roads
squall of seagulls
Wooden paddles
Flap of sails
Boys floating on inner tubes and summer
Boardwalks
water’s happy voice when it meets sand
Picnic baskets
rubbing goosebumps off little legs
Sand baked toes
Grey hair holding bouncing pig tails
Old legs
The way she watches people
Families
Towels with hoods
Canes
Straw hats
Geese skimming water
stone engraved with love, a son-gift… one to carry home and keep,
stone heart melting mine
“We are transformed by the renewing of our minds….
So now you will see that your mental diet is really the most important thing in your whole life.”
When my mind dwells on His grace-gifts…. Joy!
