Thoughts

       How many of our thoughts belong to God? How many of our thoughts revolve around "whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable... excellent or praiseworthy"? If we think, what we call, "good thoughts", do we give God credit? Does not everything good come from God? How many of our thoughts revolve around ourselves and what we want, what we plan to do? How many of our thoughts center on God's plan, or, at least, the needs of others? "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength." Sometimes I think we as Christians forget that our thoughts, not only our actions, belong to God. Perhaps we should "Think. Think. Think", as Winnie the Pooh would say, on the good God has put in this world; not dwell on the evil and sadness we have allowed in it, unless it be how to defeat it. Food for thought, I think.
