Having a hard day? Life isn’t always fair or easy, but changing your perspective can change how you approach life. Grab the Kleenex and learn from someone who knows–Patrick Henry Hughes.

If you received this post via an RSS feeder or by email and cannot see the video, please stop by the Holy in the Daily blog to view it. It will make your day, I promise!

Patrick teaches me to be thankful for what I have and to use what God has given me for His glory! Focusing on the negative will not move me forward.

What are you doing with the gifts and talents given to you by God? What did the Spirit Holy drop into your spirit as you watched this short clip?

I decided this year to approach the obvious with an attitude of ritual. The seasons, patterns, and decor of holidays vary, but the ritual of cleanup remains. Recognizing it as part of the holy in the “holyday” creates a place for honoring Christ in the mundane part of the celebration.

A. W. Tozer once said, “It is not what a man does that determines whether his work is sacred or secular, but why he does it.” Approaching the kitchen sink as holy ground cradles my work in a positive perspective. Sitting to rest my back every so often also helps.

I don’t know what my job assignment will be in the new heaven or new earth, but my resume will definitely list: “Exceptional Maid, Cook, and Bottle Washer.” I hope it also notes, “Works with a positive attitude.”
