Philippians 4:8Whatever is Noble, Right, Pure, Lovely....
Think On These Things
This is one of many of the beautiful Live Oaks on the grounds of State Capital Building. This tree symbolizes all the things mentioned in the scripture above. As we walked the grounds of this wonderful garden of flowers and trees and statues I was reminded of my high school days. It seems like life was a lot simpler back then. When we watch the news and read the newspaper we are reminded of all the problems in the world. If we are not careful problems can take precedence over and push into the background the great and noble characteristics that children of God should be striving for. So we should all keep our minds on the goal of being Noble, Right, Pure, Lovely.....as we serve our heavenly Father.

It occured to me as I read this post that if our thoughts are focused on things that are nobel, right, pure and lovely, they are focused on things of our Lord. Not that our thoughts can't be of other things but our focus would be there. Bub, you have a way of bringing perspective to our sometimes dry and staid thinking. Thanks for adding a freshness to our thoughts.
