Whatever is Lovely

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things. Eph 4:8 

I have committed this verse to memory after someone wise in my life reminded me of it. I am focusing on that which is lovely. I need to right now. It's the net that's catching me over and over again. 

My life is lovely because.....

No matter what happens, each day I am exchanging a day of my life for it. There is a reason for it. Even if it's just to say at the end I made it through. That's more than a lot of people are given the right to.
