Ephesians 4:32 “And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.” I thought of this verse as I thought about yesterday’s writing about communication. My thought was in three parts. First was on being kind one to another. If we are kind then others…

Why do some people think they are mind readers? One of the most used phrases when someone is upset about something is “You think….” First of all only God knows what I am thinking. If we could read each other’s minds, we would not need a mouth. We could just communicate with our minds. However,…

The human nature in us acts according to different needs in our lives. Some people need constant approval to fill a void from lack of acceptance. Some people want recognition to feel important. Some people want to be in the shadows because it is not all about them. Some people want to lift others up…

Praise the Lord no surgery for my husband. God is good. He knows the beginning and the end. We just have to trust and go forward. Through all of this I have seen the hand of God in many different areas. Like talking to people at Church and sharing with them the possibilities of what…

Since I started this journey 8 months ago, I have discovered that my mind is not so activity. What I mean is that before, I would think about everything. Now I find myself just enjoying the peace of God without all that extra drama in my head. It is easier to forget about yesterday and…

On May 15 I wrote about extended blessings to others through our faithfulness. I am so excited today to just give God the Glory. Last night my brother called and told me that he was picked to get the bionic hand. He also said he wanted to call me because he knew that I had…

When things happen in our lives we have a tendency to cut off connections with those around us. My parents referred to this as burning your bridges. If we burn our bridges they are harder to rebuild. How we handle things that come in our life, will determine the future events as well. Everything has…

I have often heard someone say the reason they don’t get along with someone is because they just don’t click. I think we are very arrogant when we determine who we are nice to and who we talk to. I love the phrase, “The ground is level at the Cross.”  Imagine if Jesus had said…
