GR{ATtITUDE}!!!

Crush Culdesac

Gratitude is all about attitude!

It's that month again! The month of gratitude.

I know we are already 5 days into this month, but start today and make a list of something you are grateful for.

Add something new each day.

From your spouse to your child, to your home, to your job, to your health, to one more day with the loved one who is ill, to those favorite pairs of shoes that make your bum look smokin'!

It doesn't matter what, it just matters that you develop an attitude of gratitude!

It will be hard to stop once you get going, I promise!

PRAYER!!!

Source

We tend to talk about the things that bother us, worry us, scare us, make us happy, make us sad...

When I am comfortable with the people around me, I will talk and talk and talk.

I can sit down and talk about all of my problems with my parents. I can mention every little detail. I feel so comfortable just talking with them.

I also have that relationship with my husband and some close friends.

But most importantly I have that same relationship with my Heavenly Father!

I have been laughed at a few times over how long my prayers can be. Never family prayers or couple prayers, but my personal prayers can go on for a while. 

But isn't that the point?

Aren't our prayers supposed to be us communicating with our Heavenly Father?

Remember that Someone else wants to hear about your problems, your joys, and your sadness. 

Pray a little bit longer today! Who else is going to better fix, reward or comfort you than Him!

TO STAND AS RIGHTEOUS WOMEN!!!

I've been lucky enough to follow this new blog since the beginning.

It's still a little new. It's only been out for a month, but she already has posts that have made me think!

The blog is dedicated to helping women lead their lives in righteousness.

Some of my favorite posts over at, To Stand As Righteous Women are:

Be Yourself

"Who has the right to say it's wrong to be ourselves?  No one! God made each one of us unique so why not be the person we truly are? Even if others continue to label us, I say bring it on. The more unique I am, the more I stand out. I think people who stand out are meant to do big things. What are you meant to do?"

Raising Righteous Children

"Even though we want all our children to make those righteous decisions some may not make it easy for us to teach those principles.  We need to be strong and stand firm in teaching moral principles by countering the opposition of the world our children live in. We do this by teaching them in their homes. This is a safe place for them to learn and live good moral values."

Walking With Righteous Men

"What makes a righteous man? The answer to that is to have a strong righteous woman at his side. Her influence can do wonderful things for him. She needs to encourage and praise him as he puts God first in his life. She needs to help him rationalize good choices and fulfill his commitment to God. If a man can put God first then his wife and family will be a close second. If a man can put God first he will be a dependable, loving man that will be there for his wife and kids. He will be a responsible person and will teach his children to be the same. It's his wife that will be the key to his choosing to put God first or not. Do you see the importance of our role in the life of our men?"

You really need to check out this blog. What great words of wisdom!
