HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!!

Todays Thought....

Like the shadow of a great rock in a desert land, God is your refuge from the ills of life.  The old hymn says: "Rock of ages cleft for me, let me hide myself in Thee." God can be your shelter from the storm.  God's power can protect you from every temptation and defeat.  Armed with that power, you can face anything!!

I pray that I may find a haven in the thought of God.  I pray that I may abide in that Strong Tower, strongly guarded.

A Matter of Life....

It's said that what doesn't kill me makes me stronger. So I am stronger. But perhaps what doesn't kill me makes me choose my life. I'm alive, I do want to live, and I do have a choice in that matter. But how much do I want to live? How alive do I want to be? And what quality of life do I choose? For me, existing, and just breathing in and out, is not truly living. So I breathe passionately. ~~KB

 

Celebrate!!!!!!

Take time to celebrate! Celebrate your successes, your growth, your accomplishments. Celebrate YOU and who you are!! Celebrate the lessons from the past the Love and warmth that is there today.!!  Enjoy the beauty of others and their connection to you.  Celebrate all that is in your life.  Celebrate all that is Good!  Celebrate YOU!

So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 

~Matthew 6:31-33♥

Experience God's Love
by Norman Vincent Peale

Perhaps we do not fully appreciate the enormous power of faith. In every moment of every day God is by your side, ready to help, guide, and protect you. Seek Him, and you will find Him.

Use these five suggestions to help build your faith:

1. Affirm faith every day: “I believe, I believe, I believe.”

2. When you are out of ideas, turn to faith. God will supply you with new and better ones.

3. Practice faith in the Lord for it is the greatest power for your positive use.

4. Put your life completely in God’s hands; trust and believe always. Miracles can happen.

5. Commit to memory many of the following Bible passages that deal with the protective love of God. Every day, repeat them to yourself, meditating upon them with gratitude.

The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon Him, to all that call upon Him in truth. (Psalm 145:18) 

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths. (Proverbs 3:5,6) 

In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me. (Psalm 56:11) 

Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon Him; for He careth for you. (I Peter 5:6,7) 

If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; Even there shall Thy hand lead me, and Thy right hand shall hold me. (Psalm 139:9,10)

Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day.--I THESS. v. 5.

Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.--PS. xcvii. 11.
  Serene will be our days and bright,
    And happy will our nature be,
  When love is an unerring light,
    And joy its own security.
W. WORDSWORTH.

Nothing can produce so great a serenity of life, as a mind free from guilt, and kept untainted, not only from actions, but purposes that are wicked. By this means the soul will be not only unpolluted, but not disturbed; the fountain will run clear and unsullied, and the streams that flow from it will be just and honest deeds, ecstasies of satisfaction, a brisk energy of spirit, which makes a man an enthusiast in his joy, and a tenacious memory, sweeter than hope. For as shrubs which are cut down with the morning dew upon them do for a long time after retain their fragrancy, so the good actions of a wise man perfume his mind, and leave a rich scent behind them. So that joy is, as it were, watered with these essences, and owes its flourishing to them.
PLUTARCH. www.ourprayer.org

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 1 Corinthians 13:4
