…Had never thought of it this way before.  Paul, who wrote the letter to his friends said, “Fix your thoughts…”  Fix them?  Were they broken?  Didn’t they work anymore?  Busted?  I know there are lots of things that break that we have to fix.  Cars break, washing machines, computers, tools, furniture and baseball bats all break.  Some can be fixed and others are just thrown away, forever.

It’s not uncommon for my oldest grandson to come to me with a broken toy and say, “fix it, Pop!”  At that time, priority number one is for this Pop to indeed, fix it!  Maybe that’s the way it is with our Heavenly Father when we have broken lives, we can come to Him and ask Him to “fix it!”  Fix it?  Indeed He will, if we will but ask.

Then again, there are times when we need to do what God intends for us to do.  Or, if we will do what we  can do, He will do what only He can do.  I think that’s why Paul the writer said, “fix your thoughts.”  No one else can do your thinking for you, you must do it yourself.  Another writer said, “as a man thinks in his heart so is he.” 

So if your thoughts are broken, start fixing them.  We’re all guilty of broken thoughts.  Negative, critical, jealous, untrue, wrong, dishonest, immoral and lousy thoughts can plague us.  I heard  it called, “stinkin’ thinkin’” !  How true!  Who wants to stink up the place with smelly thoughts?

Instead, “fix your thoughts” by including this group of a half-dozen winners.  You can fill your heart with these six and move from broken to fixed… “whatever is true, honorable, right, pure, lovely and admirable.”   Think about these things.  Think I’ll get started.

…Until next time, keep on truckin’!
