Thought of the Day—When problems arise, it’s ok to question God but many times we stop at the question “why?”, instead of asking “what are you trying to teach me in this moment.”

Thought of the Day–1/13/18
Thought of the Day—“Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret—it leads only to evil.” Psalm 37:8. Easier said than done but many times when we are in so much turmoil, we can’t hear God speaking to us. Satan uses this tactic all of the time whether it is from the social media or in our private lives. We need to somehow take the time to “be still and know that I am God”, to listen for His guidance and to ignore outside negative influences…John 14:27 says, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” Be still and know…

Thought of the Day— One year ago today, I started doing a “Thought of the Day” for my sister Jennifer, who was coping with stage 4 Melanoma of the brain. As God directed my thoughts and after I scribed the thought in my Word document, I would call and leave the “Thought of the Day” on her answering machine every morning to provide some comfort, thoughts to consider or even perhaps a little chuckle for her day.
Beginning on May 23rd, which is Jennifer’s birthday, I started to also post the “Thought of the Day’ on Facebook and my blog site on WordPress, LifeSimplySpoken.com so these thoughts could be shared with others.
My sister passed on October 25th of 2017 and thus, I feel it is very fitting that I discontinue writing new “Thought of the Day” posts one year from when it all began. However, beginning today, I am going to begin sharing daily the “thoughts” that only Jennifer heard, through May 22nd. I hope that you, in the past months and in some small way, have found these words to be helpful. They were just small gifts, presented with love, from a brother to a sister…
