Triple C News - June 9

Hey, everyone! 

Hope you're having an awesome, joyous, praise-filled Friday! It's gonna be a beautiful day and if your plans inclu...

Hang on a sec. 

I need to do better than "Hope you're having" this or that kind of day! 

It's one thing to hope something and another thing to offer some real help in how to have a day like that! Let's see...

What would help?...

Oh! Here's something!

I remember this woman who was talking about her mom...

Seems her parents were missionaries in Africa. It was tough there! Most of the years they served in extreme rural conditions and they didn’t even have electricity, let alone AC! But her mom and dad always had the sunniest of attitudes and seemed to make every day "an awesome, joyous, praise-filled" one! 

This young woman with days filled with kids, dirty dishes, and stinky diapers wondered how her mom did it!! How was she always so cheerful?

When her mom died, the daughter discovered the mother's secret...

Reading one of her mom's journals, she found that inside the front cover she wrote three rules for the heart...

"1) Never complain about anything ever. This includes the weather.

2) Never compare your life with that of anyone else.

3) Never wish your life was in any way different from what it actually is."

Wow! 

No complaining.

No comparing.

No pointless wishing.

That may not tell you what TO do to have "an awesome, joyous, praise-filled Friday" but it will tell you what NOT to do to make sure you won’t NOT have one if you DO do what you'd have to do to have one!

(Did I say that right?)
