Beau’s Birthday

Good morning, 

My grandson, Beau turned nine this week. My sister and I surprised him when he walked into pickle ball with some balloons and a candle burning while we sang happy birthday to him. His response was so adorable! He was smiling huge and saying, “Is this for me? I didn’t expect this. I am going to wish for the best birthday ever as he blew out the candle!” It really explains his childlike, humble, surprised and positive, believing personality. He didn’t wish for a toy, he wished positive for his life.

In Matthew 8:13 Jesus told the centurion that the healing he requested would be done as he believed. The centurion had a positive, believing attitude and Jesus did what he asked Him to do. 

Do you know that positive minds produce positive lives? Negative minds produce negative lives. Positive thoughts are always full of faith and hope. Negative thought are always full of fear and doubt. 

Some people are afraid to hope because they have been hurt so much in their lives. They experience so many disappointments that they do not think they can face the pain of another one. Therefore, they refuse to hope so they will not be disappointed incase things do not work out as they would like. 

Disappointment hurts! But this type of behavior sets up a negative lifestyle. Everything becomes negative because the thoughts are negative. Remember, Proverbs 23:7 says, “For as he thinks in his heart, so is he…”

Beau did what we should do in situations; hope, be positive, BELIEVE and expect God to bring good things as He promises in His word.

Love you, Teri
