Irene was listening to “Dr. Laura” recently who was talking about a lady who maintained a positive attitude ….
One morning she woke up with 3 hairs on her head, responding, “I can put my hair in a barrette; this is going to be a good day”
The next morning she woke up with 2 hairs on her head, responding “I can part my hair in the middle; this is going to be a good day”
The next morning she woke up with 1 hair on her head, responding “I can put my hair in a pony tail; this is going to be a good day”
The next morning she woke up with no hair on her head, responding “I don’t have to do anything to my hair today; it’s going to be a good day”
Now that’s maintaining a positive ATTITUDE!
Because of Christmas Day this Tuesday, the dialysis schedule was modified and Irene had treatment this morning. This week it’s SWF rather than the typical MWF routine. After returning home from dialysis she dashed to the mall for some last minute stocking stuffers.
Shirley Churchill worked with Irene on physiology techniques for 3 1/2 + hours ….!!!!! What a blessing!!
A proper attitude is important ….
Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:
Who, being in very nature God,
did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,
but made himself nothing,
taking the very nature of a servant ….
Philippians 2:5-7aTherefore, since Christ suffered in his body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because he who has suffered in his body is done with sin.
1 Peter 4:1You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
Ephesians 4:22-24
Irene has hope, optimism, and a servant’s heart. She is amazingly upbeat and maintains a very positive attitude. Having suffered in the body, she is “done with sin”. She longs to glorify her Savior and Lord in righteousness and holiness.
And that she does.
