Simplicity. That is the goal.
Each time we feel that negative tug in our gut, we need to back up...to mentally stop and make a U-bie in our thinking. No matter what we think we are thinking, we're in fact building our own defenses against the most recent one to have stepped on our toes. According to me.
Remember that great old acronym, KISS?...Keep It Simple, Stupid. It's a fun fact that a lot of us grin when we hear that, and the name of another, to whom it really applies, immediately comes to mind.
We often think we're pondering God and the ways of God until we stop and realize we're mentally setting Gertrude straight or, in truth, setting God straight 'cause if he were doing it right, Gertrude wouldn't be so wrong so often. Lucy alert!
Here's the simplicity of the matter...when we realize we're mentally defending our self still yet and again, we can start a new thought-train. Picture God using our defensive thoughts as his lead strings bringing us back to him, to his green pastures and still waters...and our mind has just been changed from defensive to grateful.
There it is...our shortcut to gratitude, the simple answer to most everything.
Thank you.
