Thought of the Day–1/10/18

Leave a comment

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…

1/10/17 Thought of the Day—you are loved more than you could ever imagine…

Daily Bread

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.

Flame

The only way you can be a true light in this world of darkness is if you allow yourself to be brave, vulnerable and visible.  Isn’t it time you start using the tools God gave you to make a real positive difference in your own little world?

Ornament

Thought of the Day—As we enter the eve before Christmas, let us remember that it matters not what lies beneath the tree as much as what lies in our hearts.  A heart full of thankfulness for our one perfect gift–Jesus, a heart full of love for our family and friends and a heart full of joy in anticipation of being with those you love…that is what the Spirit of Christmas is all about…

Clouds of resentment

Thought of the Day—So an unkind word or action was shot your way and you suddenly find yourself, the recipient of a hairline fracture to the heart.  Even though the storm clouds of resentment start rolling in, remember this.  Bitterness, resentment and revenge won’t heal that heart of yours; only time and forgiveness.  Forgiveness is the most powerful tool at your disposal to dispel those resentment clouds and is the only instrument of healing to benefit both the giver and receiver…

Christmas gifts

Thought of the Day—It’s a week before Christmas. Are you still trying to find that perfect gift that no one wants or are you making final preparations for the perfect gift your whole family wants AND needs; your presence?  I’m not talking about your physical body being present and accounted for as much as you, in the moment, getting involved; go to that Christmas Eve service, engage with your kids and others, play those table games, arrange dinner around your needs not vice versa.  It’s not too late to surprise your family this Christmas; make it count!
