Game Changer - when I realized I had a choice to make

 This morning I was in a really good mood. As I walked out to let the chickens out of their pen, I was singing about how glorious of a day it was. I tossed out the kitchen scraps I had for the chickens and I walked into the dogrun area of their pen and then walked to the door of the coop- something I do most days - just to open up the barn style doors to let light and air into the coop. All of a sudden I noticed this: 


I was SO sad. What a mood changer. I felt a heavy weight instantly pull me down. I had to take care of disposing of my poor chicken. And I tried to process this sudden death of one of my chickens, I was so tempted to let it depress me and bring down my whole day. But then something changed- I thought - Ok - we had 10 chickens - the most eggs we have gotten each day has been 7 and a lot of times it is less than that per day. So I knew at least several of our chickens were not laying. So in a conversation with God - I said so maybe you are just allowing the chickens that are not laying to pass. I am hoping this was one of the chickens that has not been laying. So I am choosing to not allow this event to bring me down and depress me. I could dwell on this sad thing all day and be sad. But I have chosen to just accept that it happened at that I don't need to let it get me down. 

I had been in a great mood and this could have totally messed up my entire day but I choose to let the sadness go and choose to let it be a good day, still. We all have choices to make - let's make the best choices. :O)

  1. I am SO sorry! But I agree with your choice of keeping your good attitude. This is something we all need to realize and work on—keeping firm in Jesus’ hands, no matter the storms that rage around us!
