Adjusting Our Focus

As I move into this new year, I'm thinking a lot about my focus--what it is and what it should be.

Last Sunday our pastor suggested that instead of focusing on what happens to us, we should focus on what happens through us!

It isn't really a new thought, but rather just a new twist on an old thought:

"When life gives you lemons, make lemonade!"

Or, as our pastor preferred, make lemon-pepper chicken.

Why not accept what happens to us in 2011 as an opportunity to make something good happen through us
