Think on These Things Thursday

Philippians 4:8 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.

I have learned that life is mainly about our attitude to the things that happen to us, more than just about what happens to us. Our lives are more defined by how we handle things than what actually happens. We can choose to look at things from two different perspectives. If we believe God is in charge, then we can look at things and KNOW that He will help us through them and that He is working to make all things work together for His good!
