Yesterday I was at my dentist’s office for a routine cleaning, but I’ve had a little gum issue, so the recommendation was to have that area lasered. I not only said “go for it”, but I asked if they could laser some of my wrinkles while they were at it. LOL! We each had to wear rose-colored glasses for the procedure, so of course, I knew I had to post about “rose-colored glasses”! I love how God brings these ideas to me for my daily FB posts.<\/p>\n

Actually, I’ve been accused of wearing rose-colored glasses (Webster’s definition: “An optimistic perception of something; seeing something in a positive way, often thinking of it as better than it actually is.”) and I’ve had no regrets doing so.<\/p>\n

Each day we have an opportunity to wear “glasses” that show us every reason to accept feelings of despair, anxiety, weariness, sadness, worry, doubt and unbelief. But, why those glasses? Why be irritable, in a bad mood, cranky, and having a bad day right from the start…..especially when the blessings in our lives FAR outweigh the “stuff” going on in our lives?<\/p>\n

I’m telling you, if we “instantly” turn the negative thoughts into thanksgiving for the blessings in our lives….those blessings will just start to multiply. It’s just God’s way! “For You, O LORD, will bless the righteous……” Psalm 5: 12.<\/p>\n

So I just think I’ll slip on my rose-colored glasses and start counting my blessings RIGHT NOW!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
