Temperature Change

You are in control of that smile so you might as well turn it all the way up!  I know that you have seen brighter days, but I want to let you know that the sun has not stopped shining on you.  Lead with positive words and actions, and watch what follows.  You are going to shine like a light!  You are good right now!  Embrace that thought and live in the moment!

Good day to you all!  It is another wonderful day full of wonderful people! We are amongst those wonderful people.  Remember, people that claim that they don’t like you, just have not gotten to know how wonderful you really are!  They are truly missing out!

There are only two types of people that we run across on a daily basis.  There are people who take on their environment and blend in, and those that change their environment.  So in essence there are thermometers and thermostats.  We have all seen people that walk into a dreary situation, and no matter how they were before they walked in they slowly become whatever the situation is.  If they are upbeat before work, and they get to work and the mood is gloomy, slowly but surely they become just as gloomy.  Those people are thermometers.  They reflect their environment.  Then there are those people that walk into the room, and people gravitate to whatever mood they are in.  They walk in with the attitude that nothing is going to get the best of them, and they smile.  They offer advice and they offer positivity to everyone around them.  These people are thermostats.  They change the temperature of the room, and often times make people more comfortable. 

Dear Reader today I want to encourage you to be a thermostat and not a thermometer.  I want you to determine that your joy is going to lead the way,  everyday. I want to encourage you to encourage others.  The room may be cold, but your smile and your spirit were sent there in order to warm it up.  Tempers may be boiling over, but when you walk in there is a cool and calming peace about you that puts everyone at ease.  The spirit of the Lord in you makes that possible.  You have the ability to speak to the storm and calm the waters.  You are an instrument of God and there is a beautiful song that is being played through you.  Dear Reader there is a temperature change coming in your life.  Let today be the day that you change the temperature in the lives of others. God’s grace is all over you, and you are highly favored.  On this day, and every day, be that presence that signals a temperature change.

You are beautiful, loved, and blessed
