Good Morning Christian Peeps! Some Things To Ponder: "When we can look outside ourselves we can see others." "In order to get something, we must first give." "To receive blessings from God, we should spend time with Him." "To see change, we must have courage and push forward." "To light a fire, we must first gather wood." "To get love we should first give it". "To get forgiveness, we should be willing to forgive." "No race is ever run until you start, no race is ever finished until you stop." Tr
Be Blessed!

Hold On, It's Coming!
Good Morning Christian Peeps! A Great Quote! " When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hold on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn."
All of us have felt that way from time to time. That we are barely hanging on...wondering if we can make it a minute more. Well, we can! The Secret is to not give up! When you give up you forfeit any chance of winning the prize, going the distance, scaling the mountain. Now we have to start all over.....and go through the same things we may have already conquered. Don't let the enemy win! We can hold on! God is right there! He wants to know ...can we go the distance? Do we have what it takes to get there? Are we strong enough to withstand the winds that will blow against us? Yes We Are!! God is our strength! If you will take one step, He will take two!! Be Blessed!!

He Never Leaves us...He Restores Us!
Good Morning Christian Peeps! I love the part in the scripture Psalms 23.... He restoreth my soul! How many of us know that God can and will restore our souls? We experience things in life sometimes that seems to stop us in our tracks. We get hurt or lost and can't seem to go on.... but God says that He will restore our souls. He will reach down to the very depth of who we are and what He has called us to do and restore it when Satan has tried to destroy it. It is not His will that we should suffer! He wants us to recognize that our path really belongs to Him...that our mission began and will end with Him. So in knowing that, we can embrace the journey that we are on...recognize that He has never left us on this journey but is opening the way for greater things. Another scripture I like is "I will never leave you nor forsake you!" He is with us always.... reach out for his hand today..you won't have to reach far! Be Blessed!
-- Hebrews 13:5 . . . God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”

Cast Your Cares!!
Good Morning Christian Peeps! Everyday we are alive, we use faith. We may not always realize it but it is there working. When we lie down at night we believe that we will wake up in the morning. When we exhale, we believe that the next breath will be right there. We believe that when we get into our car to go to school or work that it is going to start. We don't question these things... we just trust that they are there for us. So should our faith be in God. Why do we worry about our bills, or our health or our children....etc. If we put as much faith in God as we do in our car starting each morning, we could literally walk through each day with peace, knowing that God is taking care of those things that seem too big for us to handle. He tells us in his word that He will do just that. I Peter 5:7 "Casting all your care upon Him; for He careth for you". Let us walk in faith today...just turn it all over to Him... He will make a way. Be Blessed!

Go With The Flow!
Good Morning Christian Peeps! God gives us things for a season and a reason. People and situations come into our lives for a purpose. They either teach us something about ourselves, help us heal over something, or maybe just there for support through a tough time. Some people are meant to stay a lifetime others come and go. When we accept this in our lives, we can accept that God truly does have control. When we trust and go with the flow we don't let things stand in our way. I can envision it like being a stream or a river that flows...always moving...over rocks, trees, stumps....but always moving. Never letting the obstacles stop the flow. Let's keep the flow going! Be Blessed!

Listen And He Will Speak!
Good Morning Christian Peeps! "Before you speak, it is necessary for you to listen, for God speaks in silence of the heart." Mother Teresa
This is so true. So many times I have been able to hear God when I have been able to sit in silence and meditate on him. Today our world is so busy, noisy and so overwhelmed that we have a hard time listening to ourselves and others around us much less to God. Find a few moments today and listen within. The more you do it the easier it gets to hear God's voice. He wants to guide us everyday in everyway. Be Blessed!

He Makes Everything Glorious!
Good Morning Christian Peeps! God is so good! God makes everything glorious! The sun is glorious as it comes up in the morning. How thankful we are for the sun! The rain makes the grass and the trees glorious! How thankful we are for the rain. Everything God has made is glorious and most especially me and you. Bask in God's glory today! Soak up his love and warmth. He is with us! Be Blessed!

Walk On!
Good Morning Christian Peeps! Walk on, Walk on..... When trials try to knock you down...walk on. When you feel like you can't take one more step...walk on. When you can't see the road clearly....walk on. When we take one step....God will take two. He will meet us right where we are. He is always there....we must invite Him, include Him, surround ourselves with Him. Be Blessed And Continue To Walk On!

The Uplifting Of The Word!
Good Morning Christian Peeps! God is so wonderful! I have included two quotes from two very famous people. They uplifted me and I hope will help you as well. The first one talks about the definition of a saint. I like Nelson Mandela's definition. I am not a saint unless you think of a saint as a sinner who keeps on trying. And Mother Teresa says, joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls. Joy reaches out far and wide, it's infectious and can change a life in an instant. Be Blessed!

God Is The Super Part Of Our Natural!
Good Morning Christian Peeps! God is our Strength! When David as a Shepard needed to slay the lion and the bear, he needed God's supernatural strength to be able to accomplish this. Within ourselves we do not have the kind of strength it takes to match a bear or a lion. When Samson wanted one last conquest, it was God's supernatural strength that let him push the pillars of the building down. Sometimes the things we are facing in our daily life seem impossible to overcome and within ourselves most of the time they are. But when we allow God to become that super part that is combined with our natural part then anything can be accomplished. Matthew 19:24-26 ... [26] Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” All things truly are possible with God! Let him be a part of your solution to your problems today! Let Him put the Super into your Natural! Be Blessed!

Something To Do, Something To Love And Something To Hope For!
Good Morning Christian Peeps! There are three grand essentials to happiness in this life; they are Something to do, Something to love, and Something to hope for. We all need a purpose, we all need to be loved and to love and we all need hope for our future. God can provide us with all these things. Just look to Him!
ROMANS:12:12 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.
15:4 For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.
I CORINTHIANS 13:13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love

Every Day Begins Anew!
Good Morning Christian Peeps! God is Good! I found this quote and thought it so wonderful. I hope it helps us all to realize that although we are not perfect, we must have patience and just begin each day anew! Be Blessed!
"Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself. Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections but instantly set about remedying them -- every day begin the task anew."
Saint Francis de Sales

He Is The Way, Truth And Life!
Good Morning Christian Peeps! Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life..." John 14:6. If we have lost our way, ask Jesus, He is the way. If we want to know the truth, ask Jesus, He is the truth. If we want to live life, ask Jesus, for He is Life! For whatever we need today, we only need to turn to Jesus. He is the answer for what we are seeking. Sometimes we try everything else first before we try Him. Why not try Him first...He has given us a road map on how to have life and have it more abundantly.
Be Blessed!

God Gives Us More Chances!
Good Morning Christian Peeps! In Baseball we are given only three strikes when we are at bat. Once we get those three strikes we have to take a seat. Sometimes in our daily life we only get three strikes. Our boss may write us up after three mistakes or even fire us...our friends sometimes only allow us so many mistakes and then they move on.... Thankfully Christ is not like baseball or our friends. He gives us opportunity after opportunity to get it right. He forgives us time and time again. He knows that we aren't perfect and He knows that sometimes we know to do the right thing but we make wrong choices. Just like the song says, "He Looked Beyond Our Faults And Saw Our Needs!" Aren't we so glad that He does! Be Blessed and surrounded with God's Love!

God Will Connect The Dots!
Good Morning Christian Peeps! God connects the dots. We have all worked those "connect the dots" pages when we were young. Most of the time they were pretty simple, you just had to be able to count numbers or know your letters. As you roll the pen from number to number you can't get in a hurry or you will miss one and then have to go back which makes things look weird. Well, we wonder sometimes where are lives are going.. what the future holds for us. Imagine that God is in control of the pen or marker and He is slowly connecting the dots of your life. . God is trying to encourage us to give the pen over to Him... to be patient. He will connect our dots slowly so that we don't have to go back. The picture of our lives will be revealed when it's time, when all the dots have been connected. Trust God to connect the right dots! Be Blessed!

Love Is A Gift - Give It Freely!
Good Morning Christian Peeps! We all want to feel loved and cherished. It's how we are made up. We all have the power to show love one to another. Let's spread it all over today. Reach out to that loved one and really let them know they are loved. Remember we may only have today!
Be Blessed!
"Love is always bestowed as a gift - freely, willingly and without expectation.We don't love to be loved; we love to love."-- LEO BUSCAGLIA
John 13:34-35A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.(NKJV

"Don't Quit"....The Poem!
Good Morning Christian Peeps! I haven't read this great poem in a while but thought it was worth sharing....No matter what, we cannot quit. Share this with a friend today and I can assure you everything will be okay! Be Blessed!
"Don't Quit"
When things go wrong as they sometimes will
When the road your trudging seems all uphill
When the funds are low and the debts are high
And you want to smile but you have to sigh
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Sucess is failure turned inside out
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt
And you can never tell how close you are.
It may be near when it feels so far.
So stick to the fight when your the hardest hit
It's when things go wrong that you mustn't quit!
"Berton Braley"

We Have A Gentle Father!
Good Morning Christian Peeps! Both scriptures below are wonderful description of our Father! No matter how many times we call, He will answer....no matter how many times we cry, He will say Here I am. He is our Shepherd today...leading and guiding us if only we will let him. He will carry us in His bosom when we are tired, lonely, sick, depressed...all who are heavy laden. And He shall gently lead those that are with young. Our Father is a gentle father. Turn to Him today! Be Blessed!--
Then shalt thou call, and the Lord shall answer;thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. Isaiah 58:9
He shall feed his flock like a shepherd:he shall gather the lambs with his arm,and carry them in his bosom,and shall gently lead those that are with young Isaiah 48:11

God Is Patient!
Good Morning Christian Peeps! God is a patient God. God was with the children of Israel 40 years in the desert waiting for them to understand their purpose so they could go into the promise land. He fed them, clothed them... led them with a cloud by day and fire by night. He was patient with them. He is patient with us too. He wants us to understand that He loves us and He is here for us and He is willing to wait as long as it takes for us to come to Him. He wants you and me! He loves you and me! He is like a Mother and Father who continually picks us up when we fall. Why don't we go to Him today? Just surrender to Him and watch our lives change in a wonderful way! Be Blessed!

Listen Closely To What's Inside Us!
Good Morning Christian Peeps! God is so Good! There are moments in our lives when we wonder if we are going in the right direction. Are we doing what we are meant to do on this earth? What is the true meaning of life? Well, the answer lies within us. Have we taken the time to monitor our temperature? That means how we are truly feeling within. Have we taken a moment to ask ourselves what am I doing? Does this feel right to me? What makes me happy, truly happy inside? Is what I am doing fullfilling my life? These are hard questions to ask because sometimes we fear what the answer will be. But when we do turn inside for the answers they are there. We were created for a purpose and that purpose has been there all along. It has just gotten shuffled around in our hurried lives. When we began to answer these questions we will find that a load we have been carrying is lifted. We began to have purpose, a direction..nothing says peace like that. Listen closely to what you know is in your heart. Be Blessed Today!

Waking Up Our Senses!
Good Morning Christian Peeps! When we greet the day with a Thankful and Grateful spirit, the whole day takes on a positive role! We can recognize the beautiful sunshine, the sweet smell of the air that tells us, although we can't feel it, that spring is in fact on it's way. We can recognize how beautiful the faces of our loved ones are. We can recognize all the blessings going on around us. We can recognize how special we are because of those blessings. We can recognize the good in everything around us. Being Thankful and Grateful wakes up our senses and takes us to a wonderful place! Be Blessed Today!

Be A Light To The World!!
Good Morning Christian Peeps! When we walk into a dark room, we immediately turn the light on. This makes us more comfortable to enter the room. Now, we can see where we are walking, and we won't trip and hurt ourselves. This world is becoming darker and darker. People are becoming more and more desperate. But we can be the light to the world. We can turn on our lights and lead others to the place where they will never stumble again. We can illuminate each and every place we go by spreading the love of Jesus and the hope that is in Him. When we turn on our light, darkness and the things that dwell in it have to go... Let's turn on our lights today and make the darkness go away! Be Blessed!
"Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying,
"I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.
Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven."
Based on John 8:12 and Matthew 5:14-16
