ATTITUDE CHECK

In a Peanuts cartoon Lucy says to Charlie Brown, "I hate everything. I hate everybody. I hate the whole wide world!" Charlie Brown says, "But I thought you had inner peace." Lucy replies, "I do have inner peace. But I still have outer obnoxiousness".
Lucy was quite often in need of an attitude check. When I was child we use to have periodic ATTITUDE CHECKS at church. Some children's church leader would say, "ATTITUDE CHECK" and we would respond by saying as loud as we could, "PRAISE THE LORD." What were they trying to teach us? It is impossible to have a bad attitude when you are praising the Lord.
Are there things that are causing you to get a little unnerved or negative. Take time to step a way from them and praise the Lord, it just might turn things around or at least your attitude!
