Life Is Like A Nintendo Game!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! Life is ( I have decided) in part like a Nintendo game. If you have ever seen a child playing this game you would understand. Basically they are trying very hard to beat certain levels and sometimes that means starting over numerous times. But eventually after maneuvering different paths, trying different weapons they are successful and they advance to another level where they will repeat the same thing. They don't even think of giving up! They work and work to the point of frustration but they will keep going until they succeed! We need to have that kind of determination in our lives! Trying different things, paths, weapons but refusing to give up until we have mastered this level of our lives! We are powerful! We not only have a uniqueness that God created in us but all kinds of abilities and with His power inside us there is nothing we can't achieve! Be Blessed with a Godly determination! Say it with me! I WILL NOT GIVE UP!!

Today Is Our Future!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! Living for the future robs us of today. Today is what matters, there may not be a future. Excell today. Live Today! Enjoy Today. Accomplish things today! Love today! Be Blessed.


Faith is the bird that feels the light and sings when the dawn is still dark.
Rabindranath Tagore (1861 - 1941)

Our Hope Is In The Lord!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! Hope is expecting tomorrow, living for today and knowing that yesterday was just a test. Our hope is in the Lord. Without Him there would be no reason to hope. He is the hope of our salvation, our dreams, our prayers and our healing. He is our reason for living! Be Blessed!

Give Our Great Qualities A Voice!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! We have so many wonderful qualities created within us. But through the years we have forgotten or neve gave them a voice. Now is the time to wake up. Now is the time to realize our potential! Now is the time to do those things which we have longed to do. We can be better, do better, and expect the wonderful. If we are hearing a voice that is feeding us negativity, that is saying we can't do anything, then we are listening to the wrong voice. Through God all things are possible. We need to hear the positive voice and began to take action for what we know is inside. Be Blessed!
--
Recipe for greatness — To bear up under loss, to fight the bitterness of defeat and the weakness of grief, to be victor over anger, to smile when tears are close, to resist evil men and base instincts, to hate hate and to love love, to go on when it would seem good to die, to seek ever after the glory and the dream, to look up with unquenchable faith in something evermore about to be, that is what any man can do, and so be great.
Zane Grey (1875 - 1939)

Knowing and Doing!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! The Bible says, "To him that knoweth to do good and doeth it not, to him it is sin. " There is a lot of difference in knowing and doing! We can know things but if we don't practice them, then we are not in the doing part. We know that we are to take care of our brothers and sisters, we know that we are to love one another, to be kind one to another. We spend so much time on the big sins but what about these ones.. the ones that we take for granted. Are we being kind to each other, are we helping someone in need. Reach out today. Begin putting the action into our knowing. Be Blessed!
-- Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin James 4:17

Let The Lord Be Our Director!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! Even though Moses saw the burning bush that wasn't actually burning, it took until God spoke for him to realize this was something phenomenal. God had to make him understand that something wonderful was taking place. "Take off your shoes, for you are standing on Holy Ground!" Acts 7:33. There are moments in our lives that are moments of definition. Defining moments that change the course of our lives. Moses had the burning bush. Can you think of times when things have happened that set you on another course in your life? I can! God wants us to recognize when he is trying to get our attention. When we are close to him and listen we can be directed in all areas of our lives. We can go to him with the smallest decision and He will show us what to do. We can make the decision to follow Him, to let Him direct our lives and when we do ("the steps of a good man, are ordered of the Lord" Psalm 37:23) we will fullfil what God has placed within us! Be Blessed with direction today!

Speak Lord, We Will Listen!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! When talking to God this morning, I was reminded of a two-way radio. When you talk in your end you have to push the button so the other person can hear you. And when you are finished you let up on the button and wait for the other person to respond. How many times do we talk to God but never let up on the button so he can respond. If we did that with our two-way radios, basically it would be a one-way conversation and the other person would get frustrated and turn their radio off. I have been trying to train myself to listen and be quiet, which for me, if you know me is really hard. The funny thing was, in the midst of trying to be quiet, I found myself saying more things to God...and all of a sudden I heard these words..."you talk too much"... I started to laugh. God wants to talk back to us.. He wants to answer our questions. He wants to tell us how to be successful, how to get what we have been praying for... Lord help us to let up on the button and listen! Speak Lord and we will listen. Be Blessed!

Greater Love!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends John 15:13 (KJV). When we allow love to flow in our lives, it opens up doors that we never knew were closed. We see people and situations in a totally different light when we approach with a loving spirit. Anger melts when is love present. Depression leaves when love is present. Sadness cannot survive when love is present. The unreachable becomes reachable! The untouchable, touchable. Let love flow today. "Love thy neighbor as thyself." Love the way we want to be loved! It can change our world and the world around us. Be Blessed!


-- Your task is not to seek for love,but merely to seek and find all of the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.

When Push Comes To Shove!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! Yesterday I wrote about not pushing just praying...well this morning I was impressed that there are times when you must push your way through! I heard these words...."When push comes to shove"...so I began thinking about them.. What does that mean? Well, I think it means that when you have pushed and pushed and still can't seem to get a situation to move...then it's time for a big shove. If you have ever seen someone trying to push a car out of the mud or in our case the snow.. you know, that at some point you have to get some major momentum going so instead of just pushing...you back up and give it a great big shoulder shove. We may need to do that to the evil forces that are standing in our way...just give it a big shove today and move it out of our way! Declare that we are no longer going to let something stand in the way of living our dream! Of living the anointed life God has for us! Shove your way through today! Be Blessed!

Wait! Wait Upon The Lord!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! There are times when we can see our dream but we can't seem to touch it or make it real. These are the times when we want to push to make something, anything happen. However, when we do that we are likely setting ourselves up for a mistake. When we rush anything the outcome most always isn't the right one. Instead of pushing, this is the time to be patient and pray! Use this time for meditation so that when the opportunity does knock, our spirit will be ready. Our hearts will be in tune waiting for God's timing not our own. Our prayer today should be: Dear Lord, help me to wait upon you, because by doing so I know you will not only renew my strength but you will work out all the details of my life. Amen...Be Blessed today with a waiting heart!

By His Stripes, We ARE Healed!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! God is a healer. By his stripes we are healed. He took all of those painful stripes so that we would have healing for our bodies. Yet it is still hard for us to believe in our healing. That's because Satan would like nothing more than to stop our belief to keep us bound down in pain. Just as God went to the cross for our sins, He received those stripes for our healing. Don't let them go in vain. Begin to believe in your healing today. Release your faith.... and although you may not see it right away, just know that it is on it's way. "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen!" Hebrews 11:1. Be Blessed with healing today!

Remember The Good Things!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! When the days seem long and the nights so short.....when you feel really low and have no where to go..... When you are trying to smile but just don't feel it.... take a mini vacation inside. Begin to recall something that happened that made you smile. Remember a song that has a great memory attached. Or look at your children and realize how great they are and wonderful it is that we have them. Look at your Mom or Dad and be ever grateful that they are still around. Embrace the little things, hold them tight and softly whisper a grateful prayer! We are blessed in so many wonderful ways! We just need to recall them sometimes. I am thankful for all of you and I pray wonderful blessings on each today! Be Blessed with God's ever abounding love!

Expectations Delight!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! When we expect the sun to shine it does, when we expect good things to happen, they do! When we believe in Love we find it, when we cherish life it takes on a whole new meaning! Today is a wonderful day. Today we will see miracles, Today we will fulfil all our hopes and dreams....Today is a good day!! Be Blessed!


My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person, he believed in me.

The Flowers That Surround Us!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! God is so wonderful. Like flowers He places wonderful people to surround us in our day to day journey. Each one blooms just when we need it to and each one releases a wonderful fragrance just for us. There are red ones that provide brilliant beauty and yellow ones that invoke peace. There are white ones that help us remember the best of things and blue ones that surprise us with their uniqueness. The green ones keep us grounded and the pink ones make us giggle. May all of the flowers that surround us bloom at the right time and may we all understand the significance of those blooms! Be Blessed!

He Will Calm The Troubled Waters Of Your Soul!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! There is a song that we used to sing years ago....the lyrics speak to me this morning..

He will calm the troubled waters of your soul
He can take a broken heart and make it whole.
When the storms of your life seem dark and cold.
He will calm the troubled waters of your soul.

Sometimes we are just troubled with worry, sickness, heartache, depression, sadness, loneliness...etc...but when we are troubled we only need to go to God and He will calm those troubles. We cannot fix them on our own, but with God all things are possible. Sometimes we are not even sure what the trouble is...we just know that something doesn't feel right. We don't have to know...we just take it to Him in prayer and He will take care of all our troubles! Be Blessed!

Make God A Priority, Not An Option!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! It is important that we realize we are God's priority not an option. Priority means: something given or meriting attention before competing alternatives. We can pick options to put on our cars but the motor is a priority. Without the motor the car won't run. Just as we must make God a priority in our lives. If He is an option then we are not operating at our full potential. For God is our creator. He is the one who allows us to exist. When we put God as our first priority of the day, then the day works out the way it is supposed to. Let God be first! Be Blessed!

How We Measure Success!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! Many times we ask the question, "What does it mean to succeed?" Well, I have often sought that out. Wanting to succeed but not quite reaching what I think success might mean. I found this quote below and finally I get it. It doesn't mean being rich or famous or being president of a company...it's how we leave this world. Are we contributing to make it better? Are we striving to see the positive rather than the negative? Are we living our lives to the fullest? If not we can. Today is a new day! Began yet again....until we have it. Nothing becomes a habit until we do it over and over again. Be Blessed!


To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the approbation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty; To find the best in others; To give of one's self; To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; To have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived - This is to have succeeded.
Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882)
