An encouraging word........

Good morning everyone!! Yes, God is great another day!!! When He chooses to let us roam the earth another day that is good. We just need to be certain we are good steward's of His word. Have you ever been down, do something you wish you could take back....then someone comes along and reminds you how bad your actions were? How did you feel?
We need to have the truth, but there are also times we need to be encouraged. Proverbs 12:25 "Worry weighs a person down; an encouraging word cheers a person up." Proverbs 15:13 "A glad heart makes a happy face; a broken heart crushes the spirit." Proverbs 15:15 "For the despondent, every day brings trouble; for the happy heart, life is a continual feast."
Our attitudes color our whole personality. We cannot always choose what happens to us, but we can choose our attitude toward each situation. The secret to a happy heart is filling our mind with thoughts that are true, pure, and lovely , with thought that dwell on the good things in life. (Phil 4:8)
This was Paul's secret as he faced imprisonment, and it can be ours as we face the struggles of daily living. Look at your attitudes and then examine what you allow to enter your mind and what you choose to dwell on. You may need to make some changes.
God is good all the time, all the time God is good. Thank you for reading with me today. Love you all!! May your attitude flourish today!!!

Are you as a child in the Kingdom of God

Good morning!!! What a lovely day this will be!! Why? Because, God made it, God allowed us to experience His beauty one more time!!! Yea!! God is good, all the time; all the time, God is good!!!!
Luke 18:15-17 "One day some parents brought their little children to Jesus so he could touch and bless them. But when the disciples saw this, they scolded the parents for bothering him. (16) Then Jesus called for the children and said to the disciples, 'Let the children come to me. Don't stop them!! For the Kingdom of God belongs to those who are like these children. (17)I tell you the truth, anyone who doesn't receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it.'"
In these days it was customary for a mother to bring her children to a rabbi for a blessing and that is why they came to Jesus. The disciples felt the children were unworthy of the Master's time. However, Jesus welcomed them because the children had the kind of faith and trust needed to enter God's kingdom.
How can we be a child for the Kingdom of God? This simply means having the simple, trusting attitude that children show to adults they depend on. Jesus wants his people to enjoy prayer by delighting in his company. Take time in the day to read or study the Bible; pray and seek God's guidance; rely on God totally as children do on adults who love them.
How much we should rely on Jesus.....BUT.....do we???? Stop, Drop, Pray and GIVE IT ALL TO JESUS!!! Let our hearts and minds have the spirit of the little child and solely trust in the LORD!! Thank you for reading. Love you all.
