Sometimes in the day to day of  life’s chores, life becomes a chore. Maybe it is because we focus on the negative things that are going on around us and forget about the wonderful things God is doing in our lives.

Several years ago, I realized that watching the news brought undo stress to me and because  I had small children in the house I chose to keep the TV turned off during that time. I was amazed at how changing what I allowed into my eyes and ears really affected my outlook. I read the news and kept up with current events, but I didn’t get a blow by blow of the list of crimes and all the gruesome details.

Pollyanna is one of my favorite movies because she befriends everyone in the town, even the people in the town no one likes, and changes their perspective. She goes around playing “The Glad Game” and encourages even the grouchiest  person to play. She encourages people to find the good in a situation and not the bad. She spreads her kind words and encouragement to the whole town.

Find something positive out of everyday play “The Glad Game”. Share this game with your family, co-workers, neighbors, and friends.
