Whatever!!!!!

Ever have a "Whatever" kind of day?

That is what I am having today! To me, the word(s) "Whatever" are full of attitude...bad attitude!  When I am really frustrated that is just something that I love to say.  It feels so good to just spit that word out! and usually it means, "just forget it," or "I don't care", or "go away," or "I'm done talking about it, thinking about it, worrying about it,".  I guess what it really means is that an "attitude adjustment" is in order...it does for me anyway!

Well, I started doing a mental "word study" on that word and then found that in the Bible it means something totally different.  "Whatever" is full of instruction and encouragement! No attitude, no defeat, just good sound advice.  Like, what to think about, what to ask for, what to do....

Maybe, just maybe, the day that started out with lots of "Whatever" bad attitude will be full of the good "Whatevers" that were given for our encouragement!

SO...my friends, I leave you with these,  and have a "Whatever: kind of day!
