What To Pay Attention To

The "Thought for the Day" from "The Upper Room" hits the nail on the head:

"Ultimately, our happiness depends on what we pay attention to."

Philippians 4:4-9 tells us what to pay attention to:
"Whatever is true,
whatever is noble,
whatever is right,
whatever is pure,
whatever is lovely,
whatever is admirable --
if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--
think about such things."

That's what we are doing here.

And it sure does make me happy.

1.  one of Ben's soccer heroes got a hat trick yesterday - just like Ben
2.  Nancy Pat and friends came to the restaurant again
3.  Margaret got her Learner's Permit and drove home very capably (though excitedly!)
4.  seeing a delicate hummingbird come to the feeder that hangs from Mema's magnificent pecan tree
5.  Retha pulling up behind me and offering me a verse and her prayers and looking pretty in purple

With gratitude,
