Well, God bless you. It's always a joy to come into your homes. And if you're ever in our area, please stop by and be a part of one of our services.

I promise you, we'll make you feel right at home. But thanks so much for tuning in. Thank you again for coming out today.

I like to start with something funny. I heard about this country couple. They were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. They'd never had an argument before. Not one. Someone asked them the secret of their success.

The husband explained as they were leaving the church, going on their honeymoon, the wife's horse refused to go.

She got off, looked the horse in the eyes and said, that's one. He went a little bit further, stopped again. She got off, looked the horse in the eyes and said, that's two.

Went a little bit more, stopped another time. This time she got off, pulled out her revolver and shot the horse dead.

Her husband said, what in the world are you doing? You can't just shoot an animal. She looked at him and said, honey, that's one.

Hold up your Bible and say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. I have what it says I have. I can do what it says I can do.

Today I will be taught the word of God. I boldly confess my mind is alert. My heart is receptive. I will never be the same in Jesus' name. God bless you.

I want to talk to you about having a positive mindset. Every day we get to choose what kind of attitude we are going to have.

We can choose to be happy, look on the bright side, expect good things, believe that our dreams will come to pass, or we can choose to be negative, focus on our problems, dwell on what didn't work out, lived worried and discouraged.

It's a choice that we all make. Nobody can force you to have a certain attitude. Life will go so much better if you will simply choose to be positive.

When you wake up in the morning, choose to be happy. Choose to be grateful for the day. Choose to focus on your possibilities.

A good attitude doesn't automatically come. If you don't make this choice, most likely you will default back to a negative mindset.

Think, I don't feel like going to work. I've got so many obstacles. Nothing good ever happens to me. The problem is a negative attitude will limit your life.

We all face difficulties. We all have tough times, but the right attitude is, this didn't come to stay. It came to pass. It's only temporary.

Maybe you didn't get the promotion you were hoping for. You could easily be sour. That's all right. I know God has something better in store.

You got caught in traffic. I'm not going to be stressed. I know I'm at the right place at the right time. God has directed my steps. Perhaps the medical report wasn't good.
