Condemning vs Commending....

I am thankful for the conscious awareness to "capture my thoughts". Ever have a thought take you hostage....pretty soon it is all you are thinking about. You cannot function because you are focused on one thought or instance and your mind has run away with it. This is actually a form of fear. Instead take that thought captive the minute it hits your consciousness. Capture it instead of letting it capture you.... the result is life changing. When a negative, doubting, fearful, argumentative or judgmental thought comes recognize it and dismiss it immediately before it has time to take root. It is written..."Finally, brothers and sisters, keep your thoughts on whatever is right or deserves praise, things that are true, fair, pure or commendable." How would your life and the lives of those around you change if you if you only talked and thought about commendable things? Do you spend your days condemning instead of commending? Amazing how the words are so close but hold such a different impact. Will you join me in having, holding and sharing commendable thoughts today?
