God always keeps His promises

What is Terrific Tuesday?  An opportunity to look at life optimistically.  To decide to see the positive and not the negative.  To be a ‘my cup is half full’ kind of person.  To see Tuesday as terrific and not terrible.  Why?  Because no matter what happens, God is sovereign and full of mercy and grace and will not allow anything that isn’t in our best interest.  I’d say that’s pretty terrific, wouldn’t you?

So, here are some pretty terrific things about this Tuesday:

~ the skies are cloudy, threatening rain – I won’t need to water

~ the cat is not laying on my feet

~ the dog is sleeping

~ the dishwasher is washing dishes for me

~ my new toothbrush is awesome

~ the two geese flying overhead this morning were talking to each other

~ it is now raining – puddles!!!

~ I got a new picture of my granddaughter

~ I got to watch my granddaughter

~ my granddaughter didn’t say ‘no’ today

~ my granddaughter didn’t cry when I wouldn’t sing the ‘Hush Baby’ song ‘just  one more time’, when I put her down for her nap

Now, just imagine if it were terrible Tuesday… a cup half empty kind of attitude:

~ another dreary, wet, cold, day to get wet socks.  I’ll probably get sick.

~ I wish the cat would just leave me alone and go bug someone else

~ the dog should be outside where animals belong

~ the dishwasher is so loud I can’t hear myself complain

~ I can’t believe what they charge for electric toothbrushes nowadays – why, when I was a kid…

~ I wish I had me a rifle – I’d shoot me a goose

~ it’s raining – again.  I hope my granddaughter doesn’t want to get in the puddles.

~ uh, I’m sorry, but as hard as I try, I can’t find a half empty attitude when it comes to my granddaughter…

It really is perspective, attitude, and/or choice how we look and deal with life, isn’t it? And, having a cup half full attitude is so much better. Gotta go – there are some fresh rain puddles Boo and I have to check out.
