Sunday... Each day has such potential no matter our age...


Sunday... Each day has such potential no matter our age. Yes it does.

Maybe you need this, today. Psalm 92:12-15 (Amp), "The righteous will flourish like the date palm [long-lived, upright and useful]" No matter your age, you are useful, don't forget that. "They will grow like a cedar in Lebanon [majestic and stable]." Now here is the key, "Planted in the house of the Lord, they will flourish in the courts of our God." We've got to keep growing. He has planted us to grow. "[Growing in grace] they will still thrive and bear fruit in old age; they will flourish and be vital and fresh [rich in trust and love and contentment.];" I love that, we can flourish, we can be vital, we can still be fresh, and rich in trust, love and contentment. Now that is what living is all about.

He goes on, "[They are living memorials] to declare that the Lord is upright and faithful [to His promises];" And this is the key, "He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him."

He doesn't want us to die before our time. He wants each one of us no matter our age to flourish, to be vital, to be fresh, not stale, and to be rich in trust, in love and contentment. Again, life is not over until it is over. And please remember that each day has such potential no mater our age. Yes, yes! #todaysbeginning

Tuesday... It is so worth it. It really is!

Tuesday... It is so worth it. It really is! Look at this, Proverbs 5:21-23 (CEV) says, "The Lord sees everything, and he watches us closely. Sinners are trapped and caught by their own evil deeds. They get lost and die because of their foolishness and lack of self-control." That is true of so many. Now look at this, Luke 15:1-7 says, "Tax collectors and sinners were all crowding around to listen to Jesus. So the Pharisees and the teachers of the Law of Moses started grumbling, 'This man is friendly with sinners. He even eats with them.' Then Jesus told them this story: If any of you has 100 sheep, and one of them gets lost, what will you do? Won't you leave the 99 in the field and go look for the lost sheep until you find it? And when you find it, you will put it on your shoulder and carry it home. Then you will call in your friends and neighbors and say, 'Let's celebrate! I've found my lost sheep.' Jesus said, 'In the same way there is mo

Tuesday... Let's be smart.

Tuesday... Let's be smart. Proverbs 12:16a (CEV) says, "Losing your temper is foolish." It really is. And it is so hard to take it back. That is not smart. There are always consequence when we lose our temper and they are usually not good. Think of the last time you lost your temper at home, at your kids, at your spouse, at your pets. at your life, at where you live, at where you work. There are always repercussions and they are not good.  The New Living Translation says, "A fool is quick-tempered." The Message says, "Fools have short fuses and explode all too quickly." The Amplified Bible says, "The [arrogant] fool's anger is quickly known [because he lacks self-control and common sense]." It just is not a good thing. is it? But then the rest of this verse, this proverb (CEV) says, "ignoring an insult is smart." It really is. I have striven in dealing with people to give them a benefit of doubt. They didn't mean that, they

Friday... But, can be such a beautiful word.

Friday... But, can be such a beautiful word. It really can be life changing. Look at what Paul writes in his letter to the Ephesians. In 2:1-3 (NLT) he says, "Once you were dead because of your many sins. You used to live in sin, just like the rest of the world, obeying the devil - the commander of the powers in the unseen world. He is the spirit at work in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God. All of us used to live that way, following the passionate desires and inclinations of our sinful nature. By our very nature we were subject to God's anger, just like everyone else." There it is, there it is. That is the way we are living or have lived. Dead is a definite word of finality. At least the devil thought so and maybe you do too. And then verses 4-5 starts by saying, "But", that beautiful life changing word of opportunity even though we are dead. Yes, we are subject to God's anger, "But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, that even t
