Be Positive

Many years ago, one of my jobs was working as a secretary in the Blood Transfusion Centre. We received the samples from various centres round the area, recorded them and then sent them to the lab. Very interesting work and I felt I was doing my very small part for the health of the country. While working there I found out my blood group was B. Positive.

That could be an instruction for all our lives. Is our glass half empty of half full? Are we optimists or pessimists? Do we have a positive attitude? No-one likes a person who is always miserable and seeing the down-side of life. Such people can be a drain on us. We all need people who see the bright side and encourage us. One way to be an optimist is to praise God and be thankful to Him. The psalms give us many examples of praise to God.

Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good.’ Psalm 136:1.

‘Praise the Lord, for it is good to sing praise to our God.’ Psalm 147:1.

Give thanks to the God of Heaven, for His steadfast love endures for ever.’ Psalm 136:26

So whether you are B Positive or are able to be positive, praise the Lord.
