Gift

"The Lord leads the humble in doing right, teaching them His way. The Lord leads with unfailing love and faithfulness all who keep His covenant and obey His demands."
Psalm 25:9-10

I want to obey the Lord and have the best life possible, I know that nothing will turn out good if I don't keep His covenant. A friend called this morning and told me that the gift card I gave her at Christmas came in so handy last night. She had moved and been busy and had forgotten the card. Her little girl needed something for school and the Mom told her the money was gone. The little girl told her that God always had more to give. Sure enough, the Lord reminded her of the gift card and they got the school stuff. I thank God for saving my gift for just the right, very needed, time!

Better Memory

This morning I heard a Dr. on Fox news telling how people who eat 30% less food have a better memory. I will check this out further, but I know it's the truth. When I want to feel my best and have my mind sharper, I eat less. The Dr. was explaining how many of our calories are from sugar and the blood sugar gets off-balance. I try not to eat any sugar. That way, when I have a little every once in a while, it's not so bad.

"For the despondent, every day brings trouble; for the happy heart, life is a continual feast."
Proverbs 15:15

Snow & Ice

We have been in the house for 2 days due to snow, freezing rain, and sleet. Our roads are slick and there have been many accidents. It is melting a tiny bit this morning. I have had time to work on my website so it has been time well spent. I am going through old photos on floppy disks and transferring them to CDs (still doing this!). It is fun to see photos that I had forgotten. I need to next go through 'paper' photos and get wound up again about organizing them.

But my project for the next 30 days is building new pages on my website. I am getting more and more visitors everyday! It is exciting to watch it grow. I want to give information that will help people. If you check it out, please go to my contact page and let me know what you think and give me hints about what you would like to see. www.get-healthy-enjoy-life.com

"The earnings of the godly enhance their lives, but evil people squander their money on sin."
Proverbs 10:16

Economy

One of the most serious challenges facing 2009 is the economy. Bank and financial failures, credit defaults, bankruptcies, stock market decline, unemployment.
Hebrews 13:5 says "Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, . . 'Never will I leave you; Never will I forsake you.' "

We are living in uncertain times. As I wrote that sentence, I am reminded that all time on earth is uncertain. When the economy is going good, everybody feels secure. But we have to be reminded that money isn't our security - God is. Money fails us, God never fails us. If we have surrendered our lives to Jesus, our eternity with Him is the security that we should look toward.

Real Peace

Everyone wants peace, prosperity, and security.

True peace is through Jesus Christ. It is within us.

"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you; not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."
John 14:27

True prosperity is through Jesus Christ

"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." Matthew 6:33

"All these things" are things that you need and God gives you and extra blessings He sends. If we concentrate on Him and seek Him, we will receive things we need and more! We don't love Him for 'things'. We love Him because He first loved us.

True security is through Jesus Christ

"For He shall give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways."
Psalm 91:11

You can tell I've been to Sunday School this morning!
