August 2019 I have heard this concept in many different ways and at different times.  No doubt the same for you.  It isn’t new but maybe it is for ‘such a time as this’ for you.

This entry was concerning my work envirornment at a time that the lunchroom talk had gotten very negative.  .

From the journal . . . . April 2011

Lord, I almost said something during lunch yesterday because the group was so critical about everyone but I left instead.  ‘Lord, should I say something? ‘

If you look for the good in people, you will find it.  Likewise, if you look for the bad, you will find that as well.

Phillipians 4:8

Lord, I believe this is wisdom from You.  Thank you.
