OzThoughts – Thursday 12th November 2009.

I once attended a lecture where the key piece of a packaged presentation was a video. The video was the initial piece and then prepared projected (PowerPoint) comment and questions followed to encourage group interaction. I think most of us have been involved in this type of presentation. This time it turned out a little different to what was planned. This was because a work colleague had not returned the borrowed video.

The lecturer gave an excellent demonstration of always showing a great attitude. She remained calm and positive and continued with the lecture although it was somewhat shorter than expected and she managed to have the small group share. I think that was the best lesson of the morning. She gave a practical demonstration of building on adverse circumstances in a positive way and not allowing circumstances to conquer us.

Oh, what was the lecture about? It was about keeping positive and making the workplace enjoyable for others as well as yourself. Who needed a video?

Ephesians 5:20 (NIV)
…always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Philippians 4:6-7 (The Message)
6-7Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.

Philippians 4:6 (NIV)
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

1 Timothy 4:4 (NIV)
For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving,
PRAYER:
Heavenly Father, please help me to always to enjoy the day you give to me. Help me to make the very best of circumstances even when things do not go as planned. Father, make today a great day of joy and thanksgiving. Amen
