300 Seconds of Opportunity


It was so much fun taking the 5 Minute Challenge last week that I just had to come back for more ...

It's all about running with whatever topic The Gypsy Mama hands out to those who eagerly await.  And then writing for 300 seconds 'with no editing, no overthinking, no backtracking.'

Today's Assignment?
Opportunity


Ready, Set, Go!

Every day, every moment brings me opportunities.  Choices and chances.  How am I going to respond to what God sends my way?

I can choose to be grateful or to whine.  I have the opportunity to show gratitude or to be self-absorbed, thinking of my own interests.  I can look for the silver lining, or dwell on all that is negative.

Philippians 4 puts opportunity right in front of me.  Will I consider things that are 'true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent or praiseworthy'?  Or get mired in all that isn't going my way?

Left to my own devices, my natural bent, I will probably go in the other direction.  Truth be told ...

STOP!
Linda
