A Renewed Attitude

Here are some things for us to all strive for:

1. Give people more than they expect--cheerfully (Philemon 21).
2. Do not believe everything you hear.
3. Smile (even when answering the phone). Callers can hear it in your voice.
4. When you say, "I'm sorry," look the person in the eye.
5. Spend some time alone (Matthew 14:23).
6. When you say, "I love you," mean it (1 Peter 1:22).
7. Don't let a dispute ruin a friendship (Proverbs 27:10).
8. Do not judge people by their relatives (Matthew 7:1).
9. Do an anonymous kindness each day (Ephesians 4:32).
10. When you lose, don't lose the lesson (James 1:2-4).
11. When you make a mistake, admit it and take the immediate steps to correct it.
12. In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling, threats, or bringing up history.
13. Love deeply and passionately. It is the only way to live completely.
14. Never forget that your identity as a Christian hinges upon your love for others (John 13:35).
15. Take time during the day to pray (Luke 18:1) and give attention to God's word (1 Timothy 4:3).
