An airplane has two important indications on the instrument panel: altitude and attitude. Altitude indicates the plane’s distance from the ground and attitude indicates where it’s pointed (straight, up, or down). Even if the plane has sufficient altitude, if its attitude is not adjusted, the plane can crash into a mountain or go through a very bumpy landing.
I’ve had days like that. They start out well. I’m counting my blessings, thankful for a new day... but then something happens and my attitude brings me down. I’m on a course that has me clashing with everything in my path. And if I don’t correct my attitude quickly, I will crash and spend days picking up the pieces of the collateral damage I’ve created in relationships and in life.
The best remedy in those moments is an attitude of gratitude. It lifts my eyes to heaven and corrects my downward spiral.
Thanks be to God for his patience with me and for always helping me correct my attitude.

Now, based on what we have each heard, we will share in the Common Threads (an Iron Rose Sister Ministries way of making any lesson, teaching, or reflection very personal and practical). The Common Threads help us focus in on the specifics of what we have heard and guide us into putting those things into practice, all in the context of community. They also serve as a form of spiritual journaling, which is why I encourage you to date them and look back later to see your growth.
Each woman’s answers will be different because we hear unique things and each face different spiritual battles at any given moment. However, we can encourage one another to grow and bloom in those areas, remove thorns that hinder that growth, and hold each other accountable as iron sharpening iron.
