“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true,

whatsoever things are honest,

whatsoever things are just,

whatsoever things are pure,

whatsoever things are lovely,

whatsoever things are of good report;

if there be any virtue,

and if there be any praise,

think on these things.”

It is so important to think about the good things in life.  But it is so much easier to get caught up in all the bad stuff that seems to be going on around us isn’t it?
.
We create our own reality with our thoughts.  What are you creating?
.
This month we will be focusing on creating good by thinking about all things:
.
  • Truth
  • Honesty
  • Justice
  • Purity 
  • Loveliness
  • Good Reports or admiration
  • Virtuousness
  • Praiseworthiness
