Friday Focus

October 19, 2012 By Lisa Lewis

My windows need washing.               And I can see them.

 

My laundry needs folding.                 My hands and arms function.

 

The dog needs a walk.                         My legs work.

 

A friend needed to be heard.               My ears can hear.

 

A heart was heavy.                             Tears flow.

 

Burdens on the left                             Blessings on the right.

 

Where do you focus? 

Focusing on blessings isn’t denial; it brings glory to the One who provided the blessings.  Bringing the blessings into focus doesn’t take away the burdens but gives them a platform for being carried; the burdens in the context of blessings have a different perspective.

So this weekend, whatever it may bring, adjust your  focus.
