Because your time will come;

And if you set down to rest

too long you will miss it.

there is a season,

Whatever you do;

People are always watching,

and listening. The example

a good example.

Which one you do

is up to you.

Why do you wait for someone

to hand it to you?

Why do you not go after it

You would!

Where should your trusts lie?

Perhaps it is a question to ponder.

Do you have a "refuge"

A place to go when there

is trouble in your life?

We should all try to be that

"refuge" for our friends .

Are you a

"Safe place to come to"?

The lord also will be

a refuge for the oppressed,

 a refuge in times of trouble.

Make sure you are taken

busy making sure everyone

else is taken care of.

On Being Strong

On Being Strong

 

We all have our own

personal trials and our

own personal successes.

No matter which we are

currently in, we must

remain steadfast in our

work toward our goals.

Be ye strong therefore,

No Bad Deed Goes Un-rewarded

No Bad Deed Goes Un-rewarded

 

When we do something good,

does anyone notice?

Or is it our bad deeds

that get all of the attention?

Human nature is to focus

on the negative. Make an

effort to change those things

that come naturally, by focusing

instead on the positive.

Soon it will become second nature.

 

1 Samuel 2:23

And he said unto them,

Why do ye such things?

For I hear of your evil

dealings by all this people.

Handfuls of Purpose

Handfuls of Purpose

When you do something,

ANYTHING,

do you do it with purpose,

or do you just do what

you have to do to get by?

Ruth 2:16

And let fall also some of

the handfuls of purpose for

her, and leave them that

she may glean them, and

rebuke her not.

Paying Attention

Paying Attention

We all know how it feels to have

someone listen halfheartedly.

Are you a listening multi-tasker;

When others are speaking

to you, do you really listen?

Or do you listen with half interest?

 

Judges:6:17

And he said unto him,

If now I have found

grace in they sight,

then shew me a sign

best; why bother at all?

Making a difference

Making a difference

 

Making a difference

can be very simple.

Find what you can

do to make a difference

in someone's life today.

The little things can

And of some have

compassion, making

a difference.

Hold Your Tongue

Hold Your Tongue

Sometimes the best thing

to say is nothing at all.

Especially when emotions

are running high. If you

see someone is upset, The

chances of you calming them

with words are slim anyway.

Especially if their emotions

are aimed at you. Let them

(and you) Calm a while

and try again later.

James 3:8

But the tongue can

no man tame; it is an

unruly evil, full of

deadly poison.

 

In God We Trust.

AngelOfMercy

Dare to be Truthful

Dare to be Truthful

How honest are you?

Sometimes we "stretch"

the truth, to spare another's

feelings. However, do you usually

tell the truth, or do you

use "little white lies" to cover

things you would rather not discuss?

How often do you do that?

Why do we do that?

 

 

3 John 1:4

I have no greater joy

than to hear that my

children walk in truth.

When Others Fall

When Others Fall

 

When we see others fall,Whether

a physical or metaphorical fall,

How quick are we to judge? Do we

offer a hand, to help them up, or do we

simply say things like, "I saw that one 

coming"?  Or perhaps, "He really

brought that upon himself." Is it

really our place to pass that sort of

judgment, or should we rise above

the normal human response, and

hold out our hand? I ask you

please offer your hand, whenever

possible. You never know where that

person is in their lives; What your

moment of kindness may mean.

 

Micah 7:8

Rejoice not against me, oh

mine enemy: when I fall,

I shall arise; when I sit

in darkness, the Lord

shall be a light unto me.

Of One Mind in One Accord

Of One Mind in One Accord

 

When working in a group,

No matter what the relevance

of the group is, there must be

agreement in order to

accomplish the goals. If

there is discord, there can be

little or no accomplishment

of goals. 

 

 

Corinthians 1:10

Now I beseech you,

brethren, by the name

of our Lord Jesus Christ,

that ye all speak the same

thing, and that there be

no divisions among you;

but that ye be perfectly

joined in the same mind

and in the same judgment.

Faith Check

Faith Check

How much faith do you have?

Seriously...how much?

When I ask that question,

I am talking about faith in

the Lord, yes, but also faith in 

what you are doing; Faith in

Mankind, Faith is self.
Faith that you are making

the right choices. Faith is a

powerful word, and can be used

in many ways. So I ask you,

Where is your faith?

Jonah2:1

Then Jonah prayed unto

the Lord his God out

of the fish's belly,

And said, I cried by

reason of mine affliction

unto the Lord and he

heard me; out of the belly

of hell cried I, and thou

heardest my voice.

Choose Your Own Destiny

Choose Your Own Destiny

When we allow others to

come between us and our goals,

our friends; family; & anything

else we seek to make a part of our

lives, we are allowing them to

control us. Do not allow

others to make your decisions for

you. Do not allow them to

interfere with your choices.

If you are making a mistake,

Make it and learn from it.

Don't let anyone talk you out of

your destiny. After all,

who can live your life

better than you can?

Romans 16:17

Now I beseech you,

brethren,mark them which

cause divisions and

offences contrary to

the doctrine which

ye have learned;

and avoid them.

Fruit

Fruit

We should all walk daily

with the idea of being

good, I mean always,

everything, every thought,

every deed every idle word;

with the intent of being good

to ourselves and others.

I know no one is perfect; 

what I am, asking is

how hard to we try?

Or do we simply use that

as an excuse not to be?

Galatians 6:22-23

But the fruit of the spirit

is love,joy,peace,longsuffering,

gentleness,goodness,faith,

Galatians 6:23

Meekness,temperance;

Against such there is no law.

99 & 1

99 & 1

This is the season, it seems,

when we all want to help

others who are less fortunate

than ourselves. I wonder

though, just how much

more help we could be

to others, if we did things

that are not centered on

financial assistance. Of

course it is good to give

when you can. What I am

talking about is being there

for someone who has no one,

but just wants someone to listen.

Or someone who needs a ride

to the pharmacy, Dr, or Grocery.

Maybe a child who just needs to

feel important or at least cared about.

An elderly person who would enjoy

a cup of tea and conversation.

We all need each other.

Let's try to be there more!

 

Luke 15:4

What man of you,

having an hundred sheep,

if he looses one of them,

doth not leave the ninety

and nine in the

wilderness and go after

that which is lost.

Go The Distance

Go The Distance

When someone asks you to

do something;

Anything, and you agree to;
Do you do that "thing" with

your whole heart?

Or are you a half

hearted kind of person?

Do what you do-

With all that you have,

To prove yourself worthy of

the confidence and trust

of your peers.

 

Matthew 6:41

And whosoever

shall compel

thee to go a mile,

go with him twain.

Have a Merry Heart On Purpose

 

I have always said

That if you aren't happy;

Pretend like you are,

then soon enough,

even you will be convinced.

Turns out  that new research

Proverbs 17:22

A merry heart doeth good

What Does Your Spirit Say About You?

What Does Your Spirit

Say About You?

 

When you speak to others,

do you say what you mean;

And mean what you say?

Or does your body language

and tone of voice betray you?

We must learn to communicate

honestly. So many of us are 

really good at dishonest

communication. We don't

even realize we are guilty.

Women in particular are

good at this.

We are trained from birth

to say yes when we mean no,

to say I am OK when we are not.

We need to learn 

communicate our true feelings,

and to be honest with ourselves

as well as others.

 

 

1 Corinthians 2:4

And my speech and my preaching

was not with enticing words of

man's wisdom, but in

demonstration of the spirit

and of power.

Share Your Testimony With Others

Share Your Testimony

With Others

If you have a "story to tell"

Someone needs to hear it.

We all go through tough

times, Trying times.

We all have experiences

to draw from. But our  blessed

gift to God, Almighty and

our fellow man is when we

share those experiences.

Someone will gain

knowledge & strength from

our ability to overcome

adversity. But, we do have

to share those stories in

order for them to be

effective.

Mark 5:19

Howbeit Jesus suffered

him not, but saith unto him,

Go home to thy friends,

and tell them how great

things the lord hath done

for thee, and hath had

compassion on thee.

Humble Yourselves

Have you ever met anyone

who was the image of
humbleness? In the
Dictionary the word
humble is"offered in a
spirit of deference or
submission"When I
think of the word humble,

I think of people who are

easy to get along with,

and who seem to always
put othersbefore themselves.
We could all use

a lesson in being humble,
instead of always having to be
in charge, or the top dog.

We all want the position
of authority, But the position
of humbleness is an

even higher aspiration to attain.

James 5:10

Humble yourselves in the

sight of the Lord,

 and He shall lift you up.

In God We Trust.
