Treat Everyday Like It's Your Birthday?!

My birthday was a few days ago and because I wanted to be in high spirits, I made the conscious decisions to:

• Not allow anyone's behavior get me in a bad mood 
• Ask God to help me get rid of any negative thoughts
• Meditate on God's promises for me
• Enjoy the little things
• Have God expectations
• Be thankful

The following day I decided to maintain this same attitude because I liked the way I felt on my birthday. I felt good! Who doesn't like to feel good? I know I do...Lol

It then dawn on me that I could CONSCIOUSLY live my life this way. I have always known this but for some reason it just became clearer and more attainable through the help of the Holy Spirit on this very day! I realized that:

1. I could choose to treat everyday like it was my birthday.
2. Better yet, I could choose to see everyday as "This is the day the Lord has made and I will rejoice and be glad in it." Psalm 118 vs. 24

God has already prepared this day for me and all I have to do is make the CHOICE to enjoy it. I hope you choose the same!

Stay Blessed.
