The third “attitude” change from the book:
“Lord, Change My Attitude Before It’s Too Late”
by: James MacDonald
Replace a critical attitude, with an attitude of love.
This is a tough one; we all can be critical of people, places and things when we’re having a really bad day. It just comes out whether we mean it to or not.
Case in point, never have a witnessed such a “divide” in our country since the last Presidential election. NO – I’m not going to talk politics here, but I use as an example a severe case of criticism from all sides. Mudslinging – It’s everywhere, there’s no escaping it.
People are unfriending people because of it. When does it stop? Where does it end?
It stops and ends when we begin as a nation, to change our attitudes to ones of more love, kindness and tolerance.
I’ve witnessed this first hand the last month + after Hurricane Harvey devastated my hometown of Houston and many surrounding areas. Though Harvey made landfall over Rockport, TX, what you saw on the national news was all related to Houston.
A miraculous thing happened. Neighbor began helping neighbor. Strangers began helping strangers. Everyone put aside their “critical attitudes” and showed tremendous amounts of love and compassion. Critical attitudes were forgotten, and an outpouring of love such as I’ve never/ever seen replaced it.
Will this replace all the hate? Sadly no, but it’s a start. Proud of my city and state for coming together and showing a nation how it can be done. Let’s keep it up!
