"Take care"

I've been slightly sick these past few days... Caught the rainy day cough and colds and have been experiencing headaches as well but I know I'll be fine =) As the song goes "I'm trading my sickness... for the joy of the Lord."

Anyways, having been feeling bad for so long, friends would probably have noticed me always telling them to "take care"... Two words that seem overused... in text messages when you can't think of other words to fill in your last msg to someone to say goodbye... in letters or emails where you don't wanna use "love lots" or "sincerely yours" or other common salutations...

Yet it could also mean something else... when sincerely meant by the well-wisher... it could mean take care coz i care... take care of urself coz i can't be there to take care of you... and the list goes on...

I just want to take this opportunity to thank those who care and have prayed for me through these years :"> I really appreciate it and I really hope you'd all "take care"! =)

The Sculptor's Attitude

I got this from a God's Work Ministry email and I hope that this will
encourage you  and bless you as you choose to be filled with His  joy
and have happier days ahead! 0=)

The Bible declares in Psalm 118:24 "This is the day which the Lord hath
made; we will rejoice  and be glad in it."  Many times  we forget  that
our attitude has a big part in directing how our days will turn out.  I
hope  this story on attitudes will minister to your heart and encourage
you to be positive  in every situation  and always try  to see the good
even in the midst of what seems to be bad.

THE SCULPTOR'S ATTITUDE

I woke up early today, excited over all I get to do before the clock 
strikes midnight. I have responsibilities to fulfill today.
I am important.
My job is to choose what kind of day I am going to have.

Today I can complain because the weather is rainy or...
I can be thankful that the grass is getting watered for free.

Today I can feel sad that I don't have more money or...
I can be glad that my finances encourage me to plan my purchases wisely
and guide me away from waste.

Today I can grumble about my health or...
I can rejoice that I am alive.

Today I can lament over all that my parents didn't give me when I was
growing up or...
I can feel grateful that they allowed me to be born.

Today I can cry because roses have thorns or...
I can celebrate that thorns have roses.

Today I can mourn my lack of friends or...
I can excitedly embark upon a quest to discover new relationships.

Today I can whine because I have to go to work or...
I can shout for joy because I have a job to do.

Today I can complain because I have to go to school or...
eagerly open my mind and fill it with rich new tidbits of knowledge.

Today I can murmur dejectedly because I have to do housework or...
I can feel honored because the Lord has provided shelter for my mind,
body and soul.

Today stretches ahead of me, waiting to be shaped. And here I am, the
sculptor who gets to do the shaping.

What today will be like is up to me. I get to choose what kind of day I
will have!

What will you choose to do with Today?
Have a Great Day...unless you have other plans.

Let us never listen to the lies of the enemy who is always encouraging us
to complain, to murmur, and always cheering us on to give up on this life.
The Lord is the one  who is eager to renew  and revive the dreams that we
once had,  but God waits for us  to make up our mind and be determined to
stay positive even in the midst of a problem. God is the One who waits to
see  our attitude  in  the  midst  of a situation  and  awards  our  days
accordingly. (Deuteronomy 30:15-16) (Jeremiah 29:11)

Never forget that  you are the sculptor of your days.  God gives us each
day fresh and new, but He  leaves it  wide open  for us to decide  if we
will  bless  the Lord  and enjoy our  days, or  if  we  will murmur  and
complain  and live a defeated  life; allowing  the enemy of hell  to win
with his lies. I encourage  you to bless  the Lord all times and let His
praises  continually  be in your  mouth, so that you may be blessed  all
the days  of your life and live the  overcoming  abundant  life that God
wishes for you to live. (Psalm 34:1-6) (Ephesians 3:19-21) (3 John 2)
