If your default is worry about tomorrow, perhaps you might consider gratitude in the present moment.
If your default is bottled impatience or spilling anger, perhaps you might consider grace soaked into a body, prayer by prayer.
If your default is self-doubt, like a sky filled with wisps of cirrus clouds you can’t get your hands on, perhaps you might consider faith and enough, solid like ground under your feet.
If your default is to see the worst, perhaps you might consider the best.
This weekend, may you know gratitude, grace, faith and what is lovely.
Summing it all up, friends, I’d say you’ll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse.
