Would You Prefer A Health Scare?
Hey 4:8 Thinkers,
Last week I spoke to a group and spontaneously raised a question which has stuck in my mind since I first asked it Thursday afternoon.
In an effort to get it out of my mind, I want to share it with you…
With so much social and media chatter about difficult times, the troubled economy, financial crisis, and so forth and so on… I asked the group if they’d be willing to swap their health, their marriage, or their kid’s safety if they could regain their own financial strength.
In other words, I was really asking if they would have preferred to experience a trauma with their health, a crisis in their marriage or with their children rather than a setback in their pocketbook.
As is so often the case, the question was the answer.
And it’s a question we might prefer not to ask, but when we do, we almost inevitably breathe a deep sigh of relief and realize how blessed we truly are. Sometimes, to maximize our sense of gratitude, it’s helpful to give thanks for what we don’t have to be dealing with in our life.
What about you? How would you answer the question?
Just for today…
· Practice feeling grateful for what’s NOT broken
· Reduce all forms of whining and complaining.
· Use spare moments to dwell upon the character of God.
· Refuse to nurse old wounds with your attention.
· Support and defend a victim of gossip or hearsay.
· Deploy your words to encourage your spouse and kids…a lot and then a little more still.
· Maintain your brain with healthy sleep, nutrition, and exercise.
Then wake up tomorrow morning, rinse and repeat!
Join the Magnificent Minority who spread joy, NOT stress!
Could there be a better time than now to THINK 4:8?
