How's your attitude?

A native North American boy was talking with his grandfather. "What do you think about the world situation?" he asked.

The grandfather replied, "I feel like two wolves are fighting in my heart. One is full of anger, resentment and hatred. The other is full of love, forgiveness and peace."

"Which one will win?" asked the boy.

The grandfather replied, "The one I feed."


I've been reflecting a lot lately about my attitude to situations, and want to encourage you to think about how you choose to react to what happens in your life. Do we resent, become bitter and angry, or do we choose to love and forgive?


'If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.
Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus.' - Philippians 2:1-5
