So I was discussing two situations that I have going on in my life to a friend of mine today. We have been friends for over 10 years and for the last two she has quietly observed me as a Christian - much different than the girl she used to know. Towards the end of our conversation, she said 'I have no idea how you are dealing with all of this' and I responded with the fact that although these situations are BIG for me, I am facing things that pale in comparison to what others face everyday.
Without going into detail, I shared with her the positive side of what is going on in my life instead of looking at the negative, like she was. She said, 'did you take a positive pill because I want to be what you are on. You should sell that.' I thought, maybe I should. I will wake up and 'sell' my positivity with those that I encounter. A smile. An encouraging word. Or maybe just a positive outlook on what may seem as a negative situation.
I thought of all the things we could 'sell' by our actions. I think I want to 'sell' people love, faith, God, grace, kindness, humility and so many other positive things. What did you 'sell' today? What will you 'sell' tomorrow?
