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–1/10/18
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…

Thought of the Day–1/7/18
Thought of the Day—“I sure would like another pay cut”, said no one…ever. Why do we short change ourselves when it comes to God’s resources? He will provide our needs if we would only ask Him…Philippians 4:19 And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.
Thought of the Day–1/4/18
Thought of the Day—It seems to be our nature to want bright sunny skies and calm winds to dominate our days, but in reality, we often times experience just the opposite. We need to somehow appreciate the rainy/snowy/cloudy days a little more to truly appreciate the beautiful days God presents to us. So, play in the snow, dance in the rain and take advantage of every opportunity God gives us to enjoy life!!
Thought of the Day–1/3/18
Thought of the Day—Regardless of your New Year resolutions for this year, let us resolve to love more, judge less and be courageous enough to stand up for our own values and convictions. Be the example God intended for us to be; for there is always someone looking for a good model of character to follow…
Thought of the Day–1/2/18
Thought of the Day—Remember Tomorrowland; that procrastinator’s paradise of distant time and place where we put all things off until? “I’ll do that tomorrow” or “we’ll deal with that next year…” Well, guess what; reality check…we’ve arrived!! May you allow God to gently guide you through this day, this moment; to ease you in to what you ultimately have to face and accomplish this week, this month, or this year…
