The art of distraction

With all the bad news flying around one really has to work hard sometimes to find something funny or cute to laugh about or just something that make you forget all your troubles for a little while.  Tonight's distraction a hand held mini espresso maker.  Wow! Now for a coffee lover like me.....I mean looooooooover, this is just the biz!  Mmmpf, it's just the $39 price tag that's a bit of an issue, Lol!

Paul gives us some guidelines about the art distraction, that is to focus on something better.  Philippians 4:8 "Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things."

In other words, when we are feeling down and as if life is totally hopeless, we need to remind ourselves about the good things that life does bring across our path.  I can think of nothing better than God's infinite love for us.  I'll be honest, infinite love is a concept I often fail to grasp simply because of the very limited nature of the love shown to us by the world in general.  

We truly have to stretch our minds to conceive that our great and mighty God, made all of the heavens and the earth, simply to display to us how much He loves us!  Yes, that is true, noble, just, pure and lovely and I will meditate on that!
