It is a wonderful day.

It is a wonderful day.

I don't know what it's like in terms of weather for you, where you live right now,

but it's not about the weather.

That's not why it's a wonderful day,

even though it is a gorgeous day here and I was out for a walk with the dog earlier man, just phenomenal day.

But that's not what makes it wonderful.

What makes today wonderful is the fact that it exists, the fact that God has given it to us.

And we have the opportunity and the privilege of delighting in it.

And as we turn our minds toward that sort of an

attitude that I want to delight in the blessing of God that is this day. The day begins to take on a wonderful tone, a wonderful

sense and it doesn't really matter what difficulties you're going through. And I know it's easy for me to say, sitting here

in a warm office fairly well off because of the country I live in. Nice weather outside,

no illness in my body that I know of. I mean it's easy for me to say those things.

But this is an example of what we've been talking about the last few days about limiting beliefs. All of us have them. It's kind of like

blind spots. In fact, they are blind spots. They're things we don't see that

perhaps other people see. I mean, stop for a second and think about the people

that you are around day-to-day. Maybe they're at your work or in your church family or

someone in your neighborhood.

And you know certain people, if I were to say,

think of a person you know who is a pessimist,

you'd probably have names, faces that come to mind immediately.
