Walk With Me!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! "Walk with me". These are the words I heard this morning. Walk with me....get to know me. Without knowing someone there really isn't a relationship. We can know them but not really know what they are all about. Unless we carry on an extensive conversation with someone, how will we know their likes and dislikes, their interests, their past and their future. Without dialogue we cannot expect to know the Lord. Without spending time with Him, we cannot know what He is all about. Without reading His word we cannot expect to know what He can do! Sometimes we want so much from Him, we pray to Him, we want Him to move for our situations but when was the last time we spent time with Him? When was the last time we were in His presence? When was the last time we gave our time to Him? That is a one-way relationship.....He wants it to go both ways. Let us walk with the Lord this morning. Try out a conversation with Him. We will be uplifted and it will make our day so much better. He wants to know us! Be Blessed!

Praise The Lord For He Is Good!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! "Praise the Lord for He is good. Come join in love and brotherhood!" This Thanksgiving let us give thanks for all we have, and all God has done. Let us reach out to others in brotherly love. Let's let the Heavens ring with our thanksgiving! Be Blessed!!
Colossians 3:15-17 ESV And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

I Am Thankful!!!

Good Morning Christian Peeps!

I Am Thankful

I am thankful for all you do,
for warmth, and love and happiness too.

I am thankful for my home with all it's doors
with windows to look out and all it's floors.

I am thankful for my family who love me so
who comfort and hold me and let me go

I am thankful for my friends who are always there
they call, write and let me share.

I am thankful for being thankful it's helps you know.
to put things in perspective and makes us grow.

I am thankful for a Savior who died for me
if it weren't for him, where would we be?

I am Thankful! Tr

Be Blessed!

Thankful And Grateful!!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! Thankful according to the dictionary means: conscious of a benefit received. Grateful is the expression of thanks for those benefits. I have offered wondered if there was a real difference between these two words. We use them interchangeably but one is being aware of the benefit and the other expressing how we feel for that benefit. So really they should be used together. Recognizing the benefit and expressing our appreciation! Being Thankful and Grateful! Well, I am so thankful and grateful for all the blessings in my life. Let's express our thankfulness today with gratitude that we are alive and well! Be Blessed!

Trust In The Lord!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! Who do we trust today? Who are we putting our trust in? Are we trusting that "man" and technology will be there for us always? That we can depend on these two things to always come through for us? I think we know the answer to that. Sometimes we find it easier to seek help in familiar areas, but we must not forget that it was not man or technology that gave us life. Our creator formed us with his own hand. He breathed the breath of life into us. He gave us a perfect body. He gave us free will. Why then do we choose man made solutions over his? In my quest for health, one of the questions I ask in my prayers was... Why are we not seeing healing like we used to? And God's answer was... I can't heal them if they continue to choose to eat the wrong things, put terrible things into their bodies, live stressful lives because they cannot trust in me. I cannot heal them because they trust man's ways instead of mine. I cannot deliver them if they continue to go back to the things that they need deliverance from. I cannot give them peace if they continue to create drama and stress in their own lives. We have had the solution all the time. God says He will never leave us nor forsake us....So why don't we choose him? Why don't we choose the good things in life rather than the bad? We can start today to make better choices. We can start today to trust in God so he can change our lives for the better. He is the author and the finisher of our faith! Trust in Him! Be blessed!

Our God And Our Faith Last Forever!!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! God is so good. Sometimes our faith is shaken to it's very core. Sometimes we do not understand why things have to be the way they are. "There is a time for everything and everything in it's time." Dwayne Dyer. We cannot know the things that are meant for good and we cannot know the things meant for bad. That is why we must trust that wherever we are today is where our choices have taken us or where we have been lead. That is why it is so important to trust. Trust God through the confusion. Trust God through the disappointments. Trust Him through the pain. For without pain there is no growth. Without pain, we cannot recognize the health. Without pain we do not appreciate our growth. Through pain we recognize the truth. Through pain our eyes can be opened. "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning." Psalms 30:5. That night might last a while but how great is our faith? When we can truly walk through a situation knowing and believing the outcome, that is when we win. That is when we know beyond a shadow of a doubt who our God is. That is when we know the test is only temporary but God and our faith endureth forever! Be Blessed today...your breakthrough is on the way!

Our Book Is Being Written!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! Our lives are like a book, every day we turn a new page and wonder what mystery will unfold before us. We may have a schedule but every minute and every hour things can change. Wonderful exciting things can take us by surprise or tragedy can strike. Those are the things we cannot prepare for. But what stays the same is that when we give our day to God first thing every morning, He can lead us and guide us through whatever happens. In fiction books we know that the author can create whatever ending he or she wants. And most often the story has a warm happy ending. Our lives, our book can have a happy ending too. When we give our lives to Christ and walk with him everyday, we are walking not only in a new beginning but toward a wonderful ending. We don't have to be afraid of anything. Let us give today to God, Let us give our lives to God and walk in peace knowing that He is not only the "author and finisher of our faith" but He is the author of our lives! Be blessed!

Let's Be Seekers!!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! Seek and ye shall find... Matthew 7:7. Anything that we seek we shall find. What are we seeking? Are we seeking health? Are we seeking financial freedom? Are we seeking a relationship with God? When we seek for something we actively go looking for it. We turn over every stone, every rock; we look in every nook and cranny; we search the world wide web. Whatever it takes...that's what we will do if we are seeking for something. When the Bible says seek and ye shall find... it doesn't mean to just want it! There is a difference in wanting something; expecting it to fall in our lap and actually seeking it! We must use action in our seeking and we shall find! Let us be seekers today! Let's find what we are looking for! Be Blessed!

The Glory Of The Lord Is All Around!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! The Glory of the Lord is all around us. There are moments throughout the day that His glory shines. There are special moments when we know that He intervened for us. There are lovely moments when He spoke to us through someone without their even knowing. There are beautiful times when we can feel His spirit all around us. There have been scary moments that could have been our last. The Glory of the Lord is here today....all around. We can't let ourselves miss it! Watch for it. Wait for it. Listen for it.......just feel it! All for us! Be Blessed!

The Lord Of Lords and The King Of Kings!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! God is so good!

From mountain to mountain I call on His name,
and inside the valley where I feel so much shame.
When my head is bowed low, He comforts me so.

No matter where we are each day, God meets us right there. He knows all our troubles, all our fears, all our heartaches and He sees all our tears! He will not push himself on us though, we must call on Him and let Him know we need Him and we want Him to help us. When we give each day to God, that day becomes easy. When we trust in Him, our lives become peaceful. May today be the day that we recognize Him as the Lord Of Lords and The King Of Kings! Be Blessed!

Our Heart Knows!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! God sees the very heart of man. Even though we struggle with our fleshly nature, our heart holds the truth to who we are and what we are all about. The flesh will make decisions that our heart is not comfortable with. Our flesh will betray us through our emotions so many times. But our heart will remain steadfast to the truth. We can listen to what our heart is telling us in situations rather than letting our emotions rule our actions. When we go to the heart it will always come from a place of love. Where is our heart today? What is our heart leading us to do? Be Blessed!

Do What We Know!!!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! "You see, in life, lots of people know what to do, but few people actually do what they know. Knowing is not enough! You must take action." -- ANTHONY ROBBINS I love this quote, because it is only recently that I understood it. Sometimes we are so caught up in trying to find our purpose that we don't realize it has been with us all along. We are given that purpose from day one. The talents to support it, the will power to accomplish it...everything. But somewhere along the way we listened to what others said that we were and we tried to make it happen. It's the detour that took us completely away from what we know. The knowing is inside and when we stop what we are doing, evaluate what we have, see if everything matches, then and only then can we begin the action steps necessary to be what we were called to be. When you know, you know....just listen to your heart(soul)...it will tell you! Be Blessed!

Casting All Your Cares On Him!!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! I Peter 5:7 says casting all your care on him; for he cares for you. Peter knew a lot about casting because by trade he was a fisherman. When casting, you are practically throwing out your line. So when Jesus said cast your cares on me... he means for us to throw them on Him. You can't possibly throw something and hold on to it at the same time. When you throw it you must let go. So in order for Jesus to take care of our situations we must throw them on him. Give them away completely and trust him to take care of them. The end of the verse says it all... for He cares for you! He cares so much for us today. He wants to take care of all our problems. Let Him! Be Blessed!

Casting all your care on him; for he cares for you. I Peter 5:7

The Greatest Story Ever Told! Yours!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! When one story ends another one begins. There is a continual story being told throughout the ages. Most often it involves; sacrifices that were made, loves that were lost, triumphs that were celebrated, and amazing feats that were accomplished. We are telling our story everyday. We are shaping and reshaping what our legacy will be when we are gone. We have the awesome opportunity to do things that our family members before us were not able to do. We can change things we didn't like and adopt the things that seem to stand the test of time. We can invent new things! We can set new heights! We can love deeper, show more kindness, pray more, laugh more, and create wonderful stories that will be past on forever. What is our story today? What will we do today that will affect those around us forever? May we begin to write the greatest chapter of our lives! Be Blessed!

Reset Our Internal Compass!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! I have often wondered what it would be like if we all had our own personal life coach, trainer, etc...to follow us around all day helping us cope with every situation. Well, actually we do. We have the Holy Spirit which when allowed to can direct our paths, lift us up, encourage us and show us how to improve our health and surroundings. We all have an internal compass that brings us back to center should we stray. But we must listen to that internal compass. Today, I want to encourage you! Take a moment to do this exercise with me. Take a deep breath.....let it all out......smile real big!!! Hug yourself close. Say these words. I am wonderful!!! See, we are feeling better already! Be Blessed!

Fight! Fight! Fight!!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! When we've done all we can to stand.....we just stand. Stand our ground and fight for our right! Fight for what God has placed within us. Fight for our finances. Fight. The enemy cannot win! God is on our side! All of us stand together behind each other....today is the day of victory!! Be Blessed!

Commit, Take Action, And Realize Your Dreams!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! When we commit to something we engage ourselves completely. We make the decision to complete something no matter how long it takes or how hard it may be. When we are excited about the outcome then we work to make it happen. When we commit fully, then we began the action steps necessary to see it through. These action steps then began a process of bringing the outcome closer and closer! It's never too late to become committed and it's never too late to take action steps! Today is the day! Realize what it takes, count the cost, and jump in with all our heart! Be Blessed!

Commitment leads to action. Action brings your dream closer.Marcia Wieder--

It Is Well With My Soul! I Will Give Thanks!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! 1Thessalonians 5:18; "In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." When we are in the deepest valley and we don't know where to turn, give thanks. When we are not sure if we can financially stand in this economy, give thanks. When we feel like everything we have is being taken away, give thanks. In everything Give Thanks to God. Dan Downey says, "Praise is the highway that faith moves it's blessings down". When we trust like Job, when we trust like Horatio Spafford, who wrote "It is well with my soul" after losing his family and his finances....when we can lift our head and give thanks, God comes on the scene and though things may not change right away, He gives us the grace to walk it through. He is a wonderful God! Be Blessed!
