• Wednesday, November 19, 2008 - The Attitude Cleaner

Do all things without complaining and disputing.

PHILLIPPIANS 2:14 NKJV

Someone once said, "If you don't have anything good to say, don't say anything at all." Maybe a variation will help : "If you don't have anything good to say, say something good anyway."

Fill your mind with good thoughts, healthy thinking, and words that refresh. Mmemorize Scriptures that can drive out the grumbling. Turn yourself into the one who always has something good to say, rather than be someone who always grumbles or makes snide comments. God will help you. Ask God to get involved with your attitude, and you'll find him reminding you when such words try to get out of your mouth.

Those are some true words of wisdom. It is always so much easier to defuse a situation before it becomes an argument than to try to fix it after it has escalated. I am very blessed that my husband and I do not argue. We speak to each other with respect and in a tone of respect even when we disagree. This has carried over in other areas of my life. The best way to change something about yourself is to just start being what you want to be. Think upon whatsoever things are lovely and pure.......As a man thinks in his heart so is he........Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks..... One example is that many years ago when I finally stopped smoking, I just decided I was a non-smoker and started telling myself and others that. I started that the first day I quit. I have never picked up another one in all these many years because I am a non-smoker . I have found this to work in other areas as well. If you want to be a kind person well ..just start being kind.It works for me. Good Post!
