Good Morning Christian Peeps! Happiness is seeing a sunrise and a sunset all in one day and living to tell about it. Happiness is knowing that love is all around us and we can pick it off like apples on a tree. Happiness is wrapping our arms around someone today and holding on tight. Happiness is putting a spring in our step when we walk out to face the world! Happiness is giggling when no one sees! Put a little happiness back today.... throw caution to the wind and do something wonderful for someone! We are loved and we are blessed!

So Grateful!!!
Good Morning Christian Peeps! "The more we express our gratitude to God for our blessings,
the more he will bring to our mind other blessings. The more we are aware of to be grateful for, the happier we become."
- Ezra Taft Benson
This is soooo true! I am so grateful this morning that although I feel at my lowest, I can cry out to God and He will lift me up! May we all express our gratitude to God for all our blessings today and every day! Be Blessed!

God Is With Us!
Good Morning Christian Peeps! Sis. Linda shared this poem with me and I would like to share it with you. Read and Be Blessed!
God is With Us
By: Linda L. Kubassek
02/23/2010
Though we’re never promised to see the morning,
Or another sunset from the sandy shores of a lake,
We are daily promised,
God’s goodness to us,
And that our lives He will never forsake!
When one day we travel the world over,
Go to many places we’ve never been before,
We can always remember and know,
That God is with us,
And on His eagle’s wings we will soar!
We can take refuge knowing our God is a great God!
He can be trusted in times of darkness and distress,
When it seems we’re all alone,
For that path of solitude will always lead us,
Into His presence where He will always bless!
Oh the joy of knowing the pain,
That caused our heart to fear,
That we would never make it,
And yet today we are here!
He has brought us to this moment,
That He would receive the glory,
That He will do exceeding abundantly
Above all we can ask or think,
As He takes our lives to make them His story!

Persevere!!!!
Good Morning Christian Peeps! The Bible says consider it joy when we face trials of many kinds!!! Because we know that the testing of our faith develops perseverance!! We must be able to persevere in order to become mature and complete, not lacking anything! We can make it. I know that sometimes we feel that we can't take that next step, but we can...did we call on Jesus to help us? We have not because we ask not!! That is what the bible says! Whatever we are going through today, yesterday, tomorrow...we can persevere and come out better for it! We can celebrate on the mountain!!
Be Blessed!
James 1:2-4
2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. 4 Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.--

Only One Life To Live!
Good Morning Christian Peeps! We only live once. During our down days, if we choose to keep in mind that we probably have more chances than others, more things to be thankful for than others, and more time to live on this Earth than others, we would be reminded that our life is indeed very precious. Since we only get one chance, why not make the best of it. Why not make the good choices, the right choices, the healthy choices! Why not practice being Thankful and Grateful. Be Blessed!

Do Not Fear! God Can Handle Anything!
Good Morning Christian Peeps! “God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, Even though the earth be removed, And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though its waters roar and be troubled, Though the mountains shake with its swelling.” (Psalms 46:1-3 NKJV) In other words, it doesn't matter how big our situations are! It doesn't matter how horrible they are or how depressing....God is our refuge! The earth moving is a big deal. The mountains be carried into the sea is catastrophic! And yet God tells us not to fear...because he is with us! Whatever is going on in our lives today. God is there! He is our refuge(our place to hide out) he is our strength. A very present help in trouble. So let's not fear today, let's hide out in God! Be Blessed!

God Can Fight Our Battles For Us!
Good Morning Christian Peeps! Battles are fought for many different reasons and in many different areas. Many battles are fought over time with real victory unforeseen. They can drag on for days, months even years. But the one thing that a battle must have in order to have a chance at victory is a good leader. A leader who has experience in fighting battles. One who knows how to strategies against the enemy! Sometimes we try to fight battles that we haven't got experience in fighting. We go into the battle blind and sometimes without the right armor, ensuring certain loss. We have a leader who is experienced in fighting battles. One who has been there often and triumphed every time. Why don't we let Him do the fighting for us. Why don't we let Him go out on the front line and defeat the enemy for us. All we have to do is ask Him today to help us fight whatever it is that we are up against. He is standing ready for the signal....why don't we just call on Him? Be Blessed Today In Victory!

Expect God's Blessings!
Good Morning Christian Peeps! When we expect something from God, we do not doubt. We are simply waiting for God to do what He says He will do. Expecting is the key to getting the abundance from God. We can pray that God will bless us or supply a need but do we really believe that He will do it? Are we actively expecting to receive it from Him? When we actively pursue something, we are expecting to get it. God wants to pour our blessings on us today! Can we receive it? Do we expect it? Expect and receive God's wonderful blessings today! Be Blessed!

Jesus Is All We Need!
Good Morning Christian Peeps! Jesus is all we need! Although there may be bad things happening all around us. Although our country seems upside down. Our families may be in need of divine interventions and our work environments unstable. But I know a man who can! He can handle it all. When we hand over those things we can't control. When we let go of the things that are slowly tearing us apart. When we invite God into our lives to take over, then and only then do we find true peace. Then and only then do we find that those things are not as bad as they once seemed! Then and only then can we smile through the gunk in our lives. "It is at the brink of death that we understand life" tr. God will never leave us nor forsake us but neither will he push himself into our lives. Neither will He take over situations unless he is invited! Let's invite God to take over today. To handle our problems and create peace in our lives. He is so good! Be Blessed!

Trust God!
Good Morning Christian Peeps! Ever feel like your life is out of control? Ever wonder if you will know what peace can be like? Well, to be honest our lives are out of control because we are trying to control every situation. And we could so easily have peace if we could just turn over that control. God is the only one who has the control. If we can't control disasters or diseases, or death...chances are we are not all powerful. Chances are we are trying to do something beyond our control. If we can't control a situation, and we recognize that we have no control..then why can't we turn it over to God? What is the worse that can happen if we let go of that control? Peace can come when you are not worried about something you really have no control over. Whatever it is today, turn it over to God. Just give it to Him. He knows exactly what to do. Trust is putting our life completely in someone else' care. God will never let us down. Trust Him today! Be Blessed!

God Is So Good! Let Him Be The Lord Of Your Life!
Good Morning Christian Peeps! God is good! The sun is shining! We are are alive and breathing! What a day! Choose this day whom you will serve. We cannot serve two masters, for we will love the one and hate the other. Our God is a jealous God. He wants all of our attention and love and praise! Let's let the Heavens ring with our praise today! For today is a glorious day!
Be Blessed!

If Tomorrow Never Comes......
Good Morning Christian Peeps! If tomorrow never comes, what will our eternity look like? I wonder how many of us really think about what happens when we die. Most of us are so focused on our everyday lives that we hardly give it a thought. Maybe because it just feels like we will live forever. Only when someone close to us dies young do we suddenly realize how fragile life really is. Maybe it's time we thought about it. What will the after life bring for us? In Matthew 25:13 says, Watch therefore, for you know neither the day or the hour wherein the son of man comes. Let's be ready. Be Blessed!

He Is Our Shepherd...
Good Morning Christian Peeps! Say it with me this morning... "The Lord is my shepherd, I SHALL NOT WANT! I think we need to remind ourselves of that every morning. He is our shepherd, he watches out for us. He provides all of our needs! He heals us and saves us... we shouldn't want for anything! So why do we not have what we so dilengently ask God for? What is our level of commitment? What are we bringing to the relationship. Do we have a marriage with God or are we still just dating him? Do we want to give him our time and spend some time with him, or do we just want him only when we need him? I think it is time we got serious with ourselves. He can do anything for us... what will we do for him? Be Blessed!

It's Me Again Lord!!
Good Morning Christian Peeps! Us: "It's me again Lord, I have a problem I can't solve. No need to worry you but here I am facing something new, I need help that only comes from you....It's Me again Lord! Lord: "Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."Matthew 11:28 Sometimes we feel that we are coming yet again before the Lord with something we can't handle, but He encourages us to come to Him. He can solve all our problems. Bring it all to Him and He will take care of us! Be Blessed!

When We Take A Look At Ourselves.....
Good Morning Christian Peeps! How do we see ourselves today? How do others see us? Most importantly, how does God see us? Well, it's quite hard for us to see our own flaws and really hard to hear others point them out. But if we find that we don't seem to have a lot of friends or our spouses tend to avoid us, maybe it's time to take a really good look at who we are. Do we spend our days complaining or being thankful? Do we try to find ways to help others or wonder why no one is helping us? Are we focusing on the needs of those around us or is it really all about us throughout the day? Do we live in the past trying to right all the wrongs or can we move past those and work to make the future better? Do we want a better, happier life or does wallowing in the past seem more comfortable? These are hard questions, but sometimes we need to take a look at what is driving us and why we can't seem to attract what we really want down inside. In order to have a friend, we must first show ourselves friendly. In order to have love, we must first be willing to show love. In order to have a more positive more abundant life, we must first become positive! We can ask God to show us what we need to change in ourselves in order to have what we so desperately want and need and He will! Dear Lord, show us who we really are, so that we may change into who you want us to be. Help us let go of the past, embrace the future and show love to those that matter most. We thank you and give you praise. Amen. Be Blessed!!

We Have Abundance, We Are Contented, Not Wealthy!
Good Morning Christian Peeps! We are not rich today because we may have money. We are not considered rich if we have beautiful things. But we have wealth today because we are alive, healthy, and happy. Money itself does not constitute happiness, but a contended mind and spirit does. We can measure our abundance in health, breath, and happiness. Change the way we look at abundance and we change the way we view our lives. Be Blessed!!
"Riches are not from abundance of worldly goods, but from a contented mind."

The Lord Longs To Be Gracious To You!!!
Good Morning Christian Peeps! A beautiful scripture this morning to encourage us all! Isaiah 30:18 says, "Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you; he rises to show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him! If you have a need, just wait on the Lord today. He Longs to be gracious to us! He is a God of Justice, he wants to take whatever happened to you that is bad and make it right. He wants to right the wrong! Wait upon the Lord! Be Blessed!
Isaiah 30:18 (New International Version) Yet the LORD longs to be gracious to you; he rises to show you compassion. For the LORD is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him!

Disciples and Apostles!
Good Morning Christian Peeps! We are all called to be disciples and apostles of God. A Disciple is one who follows Jesus and all his teachings. An Apostle is one who takes the gospel and shares it with the world. There is a time to be a disciple and a time to be an apostle. We must first study God's word and learn about him, then take what we have learned to others. Now, we may not all be called to be apostles traveling the world and preaching the gospel but we can be apostles in our own communities. We can certainly share the word of God with our neighbors and friends. We can show them the love of Christ and how He can change them, so that they too can live an abundant life. Let's be disciples and learn of Him, then be apostles and share Him with our world! Be Blessed!
