Please get in touch with us if you have any questions or need some encouragement.

We all get ourselves into bad situations at times; sometimes it is our own fault, and other times things happen to us, unfortunately. I have discovered that the sooner I look to God for help, the sooner I can get back on my feet. I would like you to do the same. Take your problems and concerns to the Lord in prayer.

Do You Keep Your Eyes On The Lord…

Another way to look at it would be that the Lord will not allow us to bear more than we can handle without an option out from under it. Keep your eyes on the Lord, not the waves of the sea, for when we take our eyes off the Lord, the fear of the waves can overwhelm us, which they tend to do. To look at the bright side, we have the Lord Jesus who loves us, came to sacrifice His love for us, was crucified for us, died for us, and rose from the dead for us, giving us the Holy Spirit to guide and direct us. ~ Bill Greguska

 

 

 

 

 

24 Ways To Look At Life On The Brighter Side!

  1. Accept the situation. If you have done all you could, then turn the page.
  2. Bad things often happen to “so-called” good people, except that life happens.
  3. Be flexible for unexpected things, and God works in strange ways.
  4. Consciously choose optimism over pessimism.
  5. Do an act of kindness as often as possible. We are commanded to love one another.
  6. Don’t get down on yourself, especially if you are doing your best. God doesn’t make junk.
  7. Don’t beat yourself up over things that go wrong. God created the world and had to start over with the flood.
  8. Eating healthy can make a big difference in your attitude.
  9. Exercise 20 minutes daily to help release endorphins and improve your mood.
  10. Fill your life with positive people who will rub off on you.
  11. Flush out negative thinking from your thought life.
  12. If flexibility is key to living a life with less drama, sign me up for that.
  13. Once you’ve accepted your situation and have taken the necessary steps to fix it, it’s time to turn the page.
  14. Pat someone on the back for doing something good. Encourage one another.
  15. Plan time to do something that you love.
  16. Practice finding three positive things in every situation, making it a good habit.
  17. Practice seeing the good in everyone and everything.
  18. Remember that even a broken clock is correct twice a day.
  19. Remember, good people, bring out the good in people.
  20. Step back and take a comprehensive view. Look at your situation through God’s eyes.
  21. Trust in God always and try to give people the benefit of the doubt.
  22. We always choose how we look at things and see the good in others and ourselves.
  23. When things go wrong, we often start blaming ourselves and learn to let go.
  24. Your life is like a thick book; today is just a page. Look at the big scheme of life, not just the snapshots.

Doing things you don’t like isn’t fun at all sometimes. I told my kids that the negative part of doing something could be compared to 40 lbs. of pain, but the reward in doing that painful act has a positive result of 400 lbs. of gain. (doing homework, being responsible, etc.) On the bright side, try to look at it as pain on the other side is gain.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

See The Good In All Situations Because God Makes Good Out Of Bad!

  • An excellent example of what I am referring to is when you are having a great time, you likely want it never to end, but it seems to be over in a flash in reality. On the other hand, when you are in a difficult situation, such as a bad day at work or school, you wish the pain would end as quickly as possible.
  • Be aware of your progress. If you know that something is in God’s will, you can accomplish what you wish, even when others can sometimes discourage you.
  • Being realistic about things, it is not always easy to be optimistic during hard times. It is often tough to see when you’re in the middle of a bad situation, but the solutions are there if you are willing to look hard.
  • Changing the way you look at things can make a massive difference because it will make you start seeing the bigger picture, and you’ll be able to notice the difference between the things that are important and the things that are not.
  • On the bright side of every situation, there is always something good to be found. If a door is closed, a window is often opened. Things that will happen will never last forever, which can ultimately be a good or bad thing, depending on your perspective.
  • When you hold on to negative thoughts, feelings, and emotions, they are in no way beneficial to you in the big picture of your life. It’s not healthy to continually dwell on negative thoughts and things that are going on around you.
