I’d also like to share something our men’s group discussed last night that goes right along with this Thanksgiving Holiday. Chapter 9 of ‘The 4:8 Principle’ deals with Gratitude. The chapter is rich in wisdom and practical ways to become more grateful. The take away from our group time was, “ZERO NEGATIVITY.” Watch out for the tape that runs in your head. That self-talk that can be so negative. “Out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks.” A zero tolerance for negativity will increase your potential for joy. Be mindful of any negativity and stop it before it begins playing in your head. Understand that negativity saps your joy. As Paul encourages us; think on whatever is true: pause and consider the truth of a situation; be careful when judging others (Roman’s 2). Paul exhorts us to be positive, “Whatever is true, noble, just, pure, lovely, of good report, of any virtue and praiseworthy, THINK – MEDITATE on these things.”

Develop a ZERO tolerance for going negative and your JOY will increase.

God bless you and have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

I’m Grateful for you,
