This month's Mom's corner is especially relevant since we have been working on Phil 2:14 this fall. While Teri acknowledges all the valid frustration we experience she still encourages us to take EVERY thought captive and give thanks always.  Even when there is pinkeye.  Ok she didn't actually say that, but I am inferring. ; ) 

"..ask the Lord to point out each negative thought or word. Then cry out to Him for His strength and grace to replace those words with positive ones that express gratefulness and thanksgiving. How much better it is to praise than to murmur. May we be women whose joyful words and attitudes cause others to want to be around us."
