A challenge for you!

         I have a challenge for us. I am going to try this with you. I should add the word"again", because I tried my challenge yesterday and failed miserably. It is so much harder than it sounds.

         Make it one full hour today without casting judgement on or about anyone.

         Clear your mind and find mental rest in not judging anything that anyone may say, what you read on social media, a text you may receive or just day to day interaction with people that you encounter. Absolutely no judging.

        Now if you catch yourself judging, and my guess is that you will, just clear your mind again. perhaps there is a verse you can recite or a song, but remove judgement as it may come and replace it with something constructive.

       I'm going to silently say, " I will greet this day with love in my heart", which is a line from a favorite book by Og Mandino. Whatever works for you.

       Please send your feedback. I'm curious if this exercise is even possible. I asked my daughter to try this yesterday and her response was, " Oh  Mom, I have tried that before and it is impossible."

       Is it? Can you do it? I really want to know how we do in transforming our minds. My wish is that as I spend less energy thinking and judging other people and things, I will be left with a refreshed body, mind and spirit and perhaps an extra dose of energy for something far more positive and constructive.

Romans 12:2   

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
