Thought of the Day—As we transition from the season of thanks to the season of giving, we need to continue to be in an attitude of thanksgiving. For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6 (NIV)
Thought of the Day—It has been one month ago today that our beautiful sister/wife/mom/aunt/friend Jennifer left this world to live an eternal, abundant life with our Heavenly Father. And while we all continue to grieve in our own way, memories about Jennifer remain a constant to ease the pain of our loss. Here’s one bit of information about Jennifer I bet most people knew; she loved frogs, as was reflected in every room of her home. She also loved the playful peace frog which seemed to be a throwback to the hippie era. But did you know that the word frog is also an acronym for Fully Rely On God? So here’s a Thought of the Day from Jennifer and her beloved frogs; FULLY RELY ON GOD AND HE WILL GIVE YOU PEACE…peace…love…out…
Thought of the Day—How can you not believe in an unseen Force that guides our daily lives, yet believe in the invisible wind that fills the sails and hastens the fragile boat across the glassy sea?
Thought of the Day— May your heart always emit a sweet fragrance to God. Our lives are a Christ-like fragrance rising up to God. But this fragrance is perceived differently by those who are being saved and by those who are perishing. 2 Corinthians 2:15 (NLT)
Thought of the Day—Do you want to know a secret? There are no secrets with God; He knows everything we’ve done and said anyway…it’s just a matter of being real with Him and confessing what He already knows. Don’t you think our human relationships would go a little smoother if we were more open and honest with others? I’m not talking about brute force honesty but speaking out truth in love…
Thought of the Day—Did you know it took every hue of humanity woven together to create such an exquisite tapestry called mankind? God really knew what He was doing…so why do we keep pulling at one another’s black and white threads?
Thought of the Day—When you lose someone you cherish, you can certainly water the garden of thanksgiving with your tears of grief. But even though you have to contend with the weeds of sorrow, the beautiful memories that blossom in that garden will undoubtedly sustain you for years to come…In memory of my beautiful sister, Jennifer May 23, 1955 – October 25, 2017
Thought of the Day—Placing a tiara on your head and calling yourself a princess doesn’t necessarily make it so unless you plan to rule over the Land of Delusion…ask God to help you accept the person you are right now with all of your imperfections while He works to transform you into what you were intended to be all along…a reflection of His grace and mercy…
Thought of the Day—Birds aren’t intended to be held in captivity but to fly free and uninhibited. So it is with our souls; God doesn’t want us to get entangled by the woes of this world but rather to soar above our circumstances and to focus on the bigger picture. For we are only sojourners on a journey and this is not our home. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be involved in this world to influence positive change while we are here… just don’t be tempted to pitch a tent…
Thought of the Day—Never resent or underestimate your limitations or imperfections, for these potentially underappreciated qualities may be the very tools God uses to help successfully navigate you through this life…
