Was It Really Punishment Or My Attitude?!

Good Morning!

I have been working on pulling weeds in our flowerbeds, on nice days, to prepare them for more flowers and mulch. I thought back to when I was a kid and how I hated pulling weeds. Pulling weeds tended to be punishment for something I had done that I shouldn't have. Now as an adult I have a choice to pull the weeds or leave them. If I choose to leave them I personally would not like how around our house would look. If I pull the weeds and plant flowers around the house it will look so beautiful! Believe it or not pulling weeds and prepping the flowerbeds has proven to be every therapeutic for me. Even though it is hard work it also is relaxing and peaceful at the same time. I am able to use God's wonderful creations to make something beautiful for my family, friends, and myself to enjoy daily!

What is something you did as a child that you really didn't like? How has or how can your attitude on it change?

God uses everything around us for good. I know everyone has their ups and downs, good days and bad, awesome memories and ones we want to forget. God is only love and only does good even when bad choices are made by us and others. He can turn all things around, no matter what you are going through remember He is working all things out for good.

Romans 8: 28 NKJV

"And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose."

Romans 8:28 Passion

"So we are convinced that every detail of our lives is continually woven together to fit into God's perfect plan of bringing good into our lives, for we are his lovers who have been called to fulfill his designed purpose."

I am a working progress like these flower beds!!!
