Читать книгу Peace a Day at a Time - Karen Casey - Страница 52

Our relationships always reflect our state of mind.

Sometimes we feel hurt and angry at everyone. It seems as if the world is out to get us. At those times, it's well to remember that our attitudes deeply influence how we see the world and the people around us. We can remember to “turn the other cheek.” When we meet an affront with kindness, the perpetrator miraculously backs off. The lesson is not that elusive.

We frequently lament the characteristics of our relationships. There is not enough intimacy, there is too much disagreement, or we share too few interests. Perhaps we have too few friends. The solution to our relationship problems is to check out our inner perceptions. The signals we send to others define what we get back in return.

When we meet happy people, we'll likely soon see the balance in their lives, the level of peace in their relationships. Positive attitudes and healthy relationships go hand in hand. Fortunately, we're in charge of the attitudes we nurture.

I am seeking the hand of the Holy Spirit today. The joy is mine.
