Good morning Church!

Let me piggyback off what Brother JJ said about our meeting yesterday. A truly, Biblical spiritual “love feast” is exactly what I picture that Jude was talking about. The energy, the love, the fellowship, and the food! And y’all wonder why I pray for potlucks in Heaven?! One more thing that is more than evident in our gatherings, whether fellowship, Bible class or assemblies, is positivity. That is infectious. I’ve written much and taught about the effects of a positive attitude and the stark contrast of a negative one. You know by now, negative people drive me insane. I really bristle around people who just don’t have anything good to say. I have been called Pollyanna but frankly I don’t give a rip. I would rather live my life as Pollyanna as opposed to Eor. I know, I know…not everything is a positive. Never has been and never will be. BUT, I am going to issue a challenge. Warning: this may be corny but here goes…

Tomorrow, December 24, 2024, I am declaring it “The Day of the Positive.” Try, just for one day, not to say anything negative. Nothing. Nada. Zip. Zero. You get the point. So here’s the corny part: If your spouse is getting on your last nerve, thank God that you have one. If you don’t, thank God for the freedom or the fond memories. If your body hurts, thank God you can feel it, because if you couldn’t, that brings another spectrum of medical issues. And those are just a few examples. You fill in the blanks where you are challenged by negativity. And this may seem harsh, but when you’re being a negative Nelly, do you want to be around you? Nope. People will ALWAYS gravitate to positivity. It just feels better, and it just feel right. And to what degree you succeed tomorrow, try to better it the following day, and then the next, and so on and so on. You may surprise yourself at how well it goes. And I’ll bet my last American dollar, you’ll feel better. So tomorrow, have a positive day. Remember it’s a choice. (Thank you Brother JJ)

In Him,
Brother Bob
