WHAT STINKS?

   Posted by: pastordiehl   in Uncategorized

Cranky grandpa was asleep on the living room couch. Little Johnny decided to pull a prank on grandpa by putting a little Limburger cheese on his mustache. Presently grandpa awoke and sat up. “Boy, this couch stinks,” he said, walking into the kitchen. After moment or two, he announced, “This kitchen stinks, too,” and stepped outside for some fresh air. In time he delighted Johnny by shouting, “The whole world stinks!”

The next time we announce that the whole world stinks, perhaps we should check ourselves out. Perhaps the problem is our own stinkin’ attitude. If I expect to be treated badly, I surely will be treated badly. Perhaps if put a little positive spin in my life, some positive stuff will return. The problem is not in the circumstances, its with my attitude.

This morning I was reading an old issue of Guideposts magazine…one of the articles was written by a girl serving in Korea in the winter. She and her friend were feeling very depressed, and it seemed like none of the people on the street were ever smiling or friendly. Then the cherry blossoms opened, and suddenly everyone was cheerful. The author made a comment about everyone smiling, and her friend remarked that maybe it was because it was the first time THEY had been smiling. Our attitudes certainly affect everyone around us in addition to ourselves!

Misery certainly loves company.
Negativity breeds negativity. I have a friend that I can’t call if I’m already starting to feel down because she drags me down even further.
However, a positive attitude can be just as contagious!
