MAKING THE DECISION TO CHOOSE AND DISPLAY THE RIGHT ATTITUDE DAILY

After my wife, Margaret and I had been married for four or five years, we went to a conference for pastors where I had been asked to be one of the speakers. Margaret also agreed to do a breakout session for spouses. Speaking is not a passion for her as it is for me. She does a good job, but she doesn't really enjoy it that much. I wanted to support her, so I attended her session.

During the Q and A time, a woman stood up and asked, "Does John make you happy ?"

I have to say, i was really looking forward to hearing Margaret's answer. I'm an attentive husband, and I love Margaret dearly. What kind of praise would she lavish on me ?

"Does John make me happy?" she considered. "No he doesn't"

I looked to see where the closest exit was

"The first two or three years we were married," she continued, "I thought it was John's job to make me happy. But he didn't. He was a good husband. But nobody can make another person happy. That is my job."

Nobody can make another person happy. That is my job.

An independent ninety-two-year-old lady was moving into a nursing home. She waited in the lobby of the facility for a long time before finally being told that her room was ready. As she was escorted down the corridor, her attendant described the room, down to the curtains hung on the windows.

"I love it," the elderly lady enthused.

"But you haven't seen the room yet. Just wait," the attendant responded.

"That doesn't have anything to do with it," she replied. "Happiness of something you decide ahead of time. Whether i like my room or not doesn't depend on how the furnitures are arranged. It's how i arrange my mind."

How have you arrange your mind in response to life ?
