The Glad Game!

I decided to begin, *The Glad Game* after reading, Pollyanna with my children.

The game is about finding the silver lining in every situation. It is about taking time to adjust our hearts, turning them from focusing negative to positive.

I am hoping that in sharing the game, we will spread a renewed spirit of Thankfulness from our hearts out into the world!

Psalm 68:3 (NIV)

But may the righteous be glad

and rejoice before God;

may they be happy and joyful.

Kimmie's Glad Game:

As I lay awake sleepless, due to the stress of adoption; I began to pray in the wee hours of the morning. I am *glad* that as a Christian that prayer is communication with my heavenly Father and that it can take place at any time of the day or night.

I covered sweet Kate McRae and her family as they are battling their little beauty's brain cancer. I am *glad* and utterly thankful that my Father is listening and is working in Kate as we speak. I am *glad* that I can pray for this family and believe that God is answering our cries to Him for her healing. I am *glad* that God has let me love them and stand in the battle with them.

Won't your rejoice in the Lord and be glad with me? Please leave a comment and link your post to the game, let's spread the *GLAD*!

The Glad Game!

Want to join the fun?

After reading, Pollyanna, by Eleanor H. Porter with my kids~and loving it. I decided that we should play the game too. If you haven't heard of The Glad Game, well let me fill you in.

The Glad Game is about finding the good in something that isn't.

An example would be from my life yesterday:

Princess Mercy is sick. I picked her up to change her, not realizing *runny poop* was dripping out of her diaper, down her leg and as she only had a diaper cover on, well... As I picked her up, I not only got it all over my hands, but also managed to step in it. My dog ran over and started to lick the floor. Ewwhhh!! I was holding the baby by her arm pits at this point and yelling for help from my children. I couldn't move for fear of *spreading* the mess. Did I mention that she smelled AWFUL?

Now I could have got upset, as the whole day was somewhat similar, or I could find the bright side. *and my kids can tell you that I was leaning towards the negative.

Here is where *The Glad Game* comes in

(find something to be glad about in it).

...

"I am so glad that I have a beautiful Ethiopian baby who is in my arms waiting to be changed. We waited such a long time to have a baby in diapers again, after so many years of infertility."*

...

I find that many times I lean towards the negative in things. I thought if I (we) took time to give thanks, it might do wonderful things in our lives. After all we are to give thanks always to our God! Let's start with being glad about something today...

Psalm 56:12-13
