I am a divorced mother of 4 young men who loves communication and has a positive outlook on life, friends, family and the world. Each day is a learning experience for me. One that I wish to graduate with honors.
Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
Isaiah 40:28-31

| Encourage one another daily | VERSE: Encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today..... Hebrews 3:13
THOUGHTS: Today - if you knew this was your final day on earth, how would you feel? What would you do? What would you say? Who would you see? This is not an easy thing to think about. Many have been diagnosed with a deadly disease and are forced to realize their days are numbered. We need to recognize that our days are numbered. God could choose to come for us this very moment. Only He knows His plan for your time here on earth. However, I want to encourage you to take steps today to share with your family, friends, co-workers and yes, even your enemies all God has done for you. Encourage them to come to know Him as their personal Lord and Savior.
Each morning my intentions begin thinking I'll do something good for the glory of God. I pray that God will allow me to show Jesus to others. That I can share and reveal the truth of the gospel to someone that doesn't know God. For me to bring light to this dark world. I want to witness and encourage others for the glory of God. However, my friends, my intentions are usually short lived. I get to work, become busy in my work and daily tasks, go home and prepare dinner and spend a little time with family, watch TV with them, listen to the radio or read. Then I spend a few moments with God since I am usually exhausted by the end of the day. This scripture reminded me this morning, that our purpose is not just to do the busy work of our job's and take care of all the things we have to do at home. Our purpose is to encourage those of us in the faith and share the steps of salvation to those that aren't Christians yet. Be encouraged today that your purpose is much more then you even know. God's plan includes you. You are an important part of sharing His gospel,. Please take time to go forth and preach the gospel my friends. You can do this by your words and by your actions. Jesus in you is what others need to see TODAY. Today is a precious gift from God, use it wisely. God bless.

Set your minds on things above
| VERSE: Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.
Colossians 3:2
THOUGHTS: Focusing on the future and spending time with God in eternity helps me forget my earthly troubles. It doesn't take them away, but it certainly reminds me they will pass one glorious day. God didn't say our walk with Him on earth would be easy, but He promised to get us through those hard times. He promised that one day we will live with Him in a place of total contentment. Oh how I long for that day, when I will see Jesus face to face.
Meanwhile, our purpose on earth is to rely on His power to strengthen, teach, direct and challenge us as we live and breathe to tell others about Him. We must not allow our problems to get in the way of our earthly purpose of witnessing to others. Just try to imagine as hard as things can be for those of us that know Christ, how much harder life is for those that don't know Him and have no hope. If you are struggling today, focus on Christ and things above. Put your earthly attitudes, issues, heartache and pain into God's loving arms. Allow Him to carry them for you. Setting your mind on things above can take effort, and some days it may feel draining, but the gift you receive from Christ is peace. Where do you want to place your focus today? God bless.

 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. John 14:18 Reflection Despite times of sorrow and loneliness, the Lord will ever be our Father. We who believe shall never be forsaken and shall never lack His provision. Praise the Lord for His lovingkindness. Praise the Lord for His unbounded mercy upon your soul. Praise forever the Lord who has delivered you from death into His everlasting and princely family. Praise the Lord and rejoice O you peoples of the Almighty God! |

| Couny your blessings-Name them one by one! |
VERSE: "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come to pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you," declares the Lord, "and will bring you back...to the place from which I carried you into exile.
" Jeremiah 29:11-14
The above scriptures were written by Jeremiah to the surviving elders among the exiles. The powerful words spoken then still pertain to us today. I love the word, declares! That means it must have very important for God to get His message across.
Do you declare the power of God by receiving it as a precious gift? Do you declare His presence by seeking Him with all your heart or with just the little bit you are willing to share? Do you declare He has brought your through many trials? Do you declare the testimony of your salvation to others?
I feel strongly this morning that we need to declare more often what God has done is our lives. We tend to keep things to ourselves. I encourage you to share your burdens, your triumphs, and your love for God to someone today. Don't try to prepare the "right" words, just tell them what God has done or is doing. Sharing your trials is powerful. It allows believers to pray for you and your situation. It allows others to see God working in your life. It allows others to understand that you are struggling, but have faith that God knows the plan. Open your heart to seek God and allow Him to use you today. God bless.
