Good Morning Christian Peeps! Courage is the power to let go of the familiar. Sometimes we stay in things because they are familiar to us. Because we are afraid of the unknown, of what might be out there that we have to face. But as soon as we grab the courage to make a change a whole new world opens up! Realize the courage that is in us! Bring it to the forefront and began to realize the hopes and dreams that are deep within. Be Blessed

Good Morning Christian Peeps! Life is one giant puzzle. If you have ever put a puzzle together you know that it can be frustrating when the pieces don't fit. You may stand there for a while just trying to find one certain piece that works. It's so rewarding when you finally put several pieces together. But like the puzzle we can't stand there all day figuring it out. Sometimes we have to walk away and come back later with a fresh eye. That's like our life. Sometimes we just don't know where certain pieces belong or how to put our life all together. But if we just be patient and take our time, eventually we will find all the right pieces. It doesn't hurt to consult the master artist who drew our lives in the first place. May we take the time to piece it all together! Be Blessed!
Good Morning Christian Peeps! We are to be patient with ourselves. God is not finished with us. Sometimes we get impatient because we don't see change as fast as we think we should. We expect far too much and put way too much pressure on ourselves. We need to find courage and realize that sometimes change is small and sometimes we make mistakes and have to start over. That's okay. That's why we are given a new day everyday. "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. II Cor. 5:17 Let today be a new day. Set about changing those things we don't like. Let God show us how to change. 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
Good Morning Christian Peeps! Most everything we want comes with a price tag. We have to consider if the price is worth paying. The Bible warns us by saying, "For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" Mark 8:36 We have to check ourselves to make sure that what we are after will not only give us what we want, but will it be detrimental to our soul. In other words is it good for us or bad for us. There is always a choice. Pray to make the right one. How will we know? Proverbs 3:6 says "In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths". Be Blessed Today!
Good Morning Christian Peeps! Too many times we put things off because we are afraid to tackle them, when if we would just step in and begin we would realize it takes only a moment to achieve what we dreaded for so long. Today is the day to seize the moment! Don't let another one pass us by! We must jump in with both feet and see how wonderful things will be. Be Blessed!
"Know the true value of time; snatch, seize, and enjoy every moment of it. No idleness, no delay, no procrastination; never put off till tomorrow what you can do today."-- EARL OF CHESTERFIELD
Good Morning Christian Peeps! There is a song that says, "I can't even walk without you holding my hand". Sometimes the road is so unclear, the decisions so hard to make, the pain so strong that we don't think we can make it. But if we will just grab a hold of His hand and let Him do the leading we will find that we can make it. That holding His hand makes everything much easier! Take a hold of the Master's hand today and begin walking with Him. He will take care of it all! Be Blessed!
Good Morning Christian Peeps! God wants to bless us! Like Easter eggs scattered throughout the yard our blessings are scattered throughout our journey. We won't find the Easter eggs unless we look for them. Likewise, our blessings are there but unless we look for them we won't find them. Jesus clearly said, Ask....and it shall be given you: Seek... and ye shall find....Knock.... and it shall be opened unto you! There is no mystery or hardship in finding God's blessings! Imagine that He is waiting for us to ask.....do we think it's too hard for God? Imagine that He is waiting for us to seek....does that take too much work on our part? Imagine that He is waiting for us to knock......can we not even approach Him? We can go to God today with whatever problem or blessing we need. He is waiting! Ask, Seek and Knock today! Be Blessed!
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:Matthew 7:7
Good Morning Christian Peeps! Can't Nobody Love Us Like Jesus! He sees us at our best, He sees us at our worst. He knows all our secrets and He knows how we treat each other everyday. He knows when we fail, He sees our tears. He sees our heart, the important part! There isn't anyone who can love us like Jesus! He loves us unconditionally! None of our friends can say that! He sees our faults and yet He still loves us! How many friends can do that! Trust in Jesus today! He loves us so much! Turn to Him for all your needs, He really cares! Can't Nobody Love Us Like Jesus! Be Blessed!
Good Morning Christian Peeps! With an attitude of gratitude we are able to let go of what we don't have and just be accepting of the things we do have. This then creates a peace that generates an open and willing heart which in turn brings more abundance into our lives. We can't receive any more until we are thankful and began to utilize what we already have. When we have gifts and talents that we are not using, how then can we expect to be given other gifts? When we can began to bless others with what we already have, God will began blessing us with more! Be Thankful! Be Blessed!
Brian TracyDevelop an attitude of gratitude and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation.
Good Morning Christian Peeps! God is so good. When we are feeling empty, He will fill us up. When we are lonely, He will be our friend. When we are sad, He can show us how to be happy. When we feel lost, He can help us find our way. There is nothing that God can't do. But unfortunately our friends and family are limited. Sometimes we expect things out of them that is impossible. We want them to keep us happy, fill us up, or find us when we are lost. That is not there job. God is an ever present help, on the job 24/7, on time. We can turn to Him for everything! Whatever the need, He is the supplier!
Good Morning Christian Peeps! We have all found ourselves facing fog. We may be driving or walking and we find ourselves going into fog. On the outset it is very daunting. It looks very thick and we say to ourselves, "How are we going to be able to see"? Well, life is like that sometimes. We face something that seems really daunting and overwhelming and wonder if we can make it...sometimes we just say forget it...it seems too hard! But like the fog, if we would creep, if we have to, up to it...we would find that it really isn't all that bad. That as we get closer, it gets thinner. We can actually see, we can actually still get through it. It wasn't as bad as it seemed! Well, so are the big problems we face. They may seem overwhelming at first, but once we just step in and began to tackle it, we find it really isn't all that bad after all. And guess what is on the other side of the fog.....sunshine! Be Blessed!
Good Morning Christian Peeps! "When love comes knocking, let it in. When love comes knocking, it's because you need a friend. When love comes knocking, it sees your heart. When love comes knocking, it's to make a fresh start. When love comes knocking, the door should swing wide. When love comes knocking, it pushes the hurt aside. When love comes knocking, embrace it well. When love comes knocking, your heart will swell! " Be Blessed!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! When we wait upon the Lord, our strength will be renewed to the point that we can mount up with wings of eagles, run and not be weary, walk and not faint. That's some strength. We may try to do things with our own strength but when we wait upon the Lord and get His strength, it is many times stronger! Let's not rush things today but wait patiently upon the Lord. Our strength will be renewed and all things will be revealed! In Jesus Name! Be Blessed!
but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength;they shall mount up with wings like eagles;they shall run and not be weary;they shall walk and not faint. Isaiah 40--
Good Morning Christian Peeps! "The Road Less Traveled". The roads we used to travel on were small but there was so much to see along the way. Now with the major highways, we can get somewhere faster but think about what we miss along the way. The trees that may just be beginning to bloom or they are just turning colors for the fall. The sun how it plays through the trees with shadows and light. The beautiful country side with cows and horses as they lazily graze. The rolling hills of farmland that seem to go on forever. It's the same in our spiritual journey as well. It's not how fast we arrive but where we are going, what we see and experience along the way. Don't rush life today. Take the time to see what beautiful things are all around us. Take the time to experience what today may bring. It's the ultimate adventure when you quit planning tomorrow and just Live today! Be Blessed!
Good Morning Christian Peeps! Sometimes we say if only I could change! Well we can. We just need to do it. We are so close to being what we want and should be...but being afraid keeps us from making the leap of faith! Leap of faith is trusting that when you leap you will land! We are so close, all it takes is having the courage to make even the slightest change. Change is good! Be Blessed with a positive change today!
Every day of our lives we are on the verge of making those slight changes that would make all the difference.
Mignon McLaughlin

Take offworry, sadness, anger...let it all fall away and feel how much lighter thespirit can be. Sometimes we can't see the beautiful clouds for looking atthe ground. Look up, shake off all the heavy stuff, smile and let today bethe best day ever. Be Blessed!

"Motivation is an external, temporary high that pushes you forward. Inspiration is a sustainable internal glow which pulls you forward."~ Thomas Leonard We talked about this at Bible study last night. Motivation comes fast and hard but can burn out just as fast. Once we get that internal glow of inspiration it can sustain us to do what we need to do, however long it takes. Embrace inspiration, motivation can give us the jump start but we must have the inspiration to stay the course. Be Blessed with an abundance of inspiration!
Good Morning Christian Peeps! In the first part of the scripture Psalm 46:10, it says "Be Still And Know That I Am God....."
When we get still is when we can bring to mind all that God is and all that He has done for us. When we know that He is God, we know that He is a healer of the sick, a Savior to the lost, and the one who reigns blessings on us. He is the ever present comfort in the time of need. What is your need today? When the children of Israel crossed the Red Sea on dry land...don't you know they knew that He was God! Can you imagine how they must have felt when He parted the waters for them to pass through! My, My. If we can grasp today that He Is God....we can begin to see His glory and all that He is! Be Blessed!
Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. Psalm 46:10
Good Morning Christian Peeps! We were all created uniquely by God's design and given a specific journey by which to travel. We all have our own road map that is unique to us. We cannot follow someone else's road map or we will get lost. Our journey is not their journey. Their journey is not ours. Since our road map was created by God we must use His guidance to comprehend our map, to understand where we are to turn or stay straight. Some road maps show the hazard points but we miss them because we glance at the map and think we know our way. We need to refer to our map again and again so as not to lose our way. If we have lost our road map, ask God to give it to us again. We can make it if we follow our own road map. Be Blessed!
