Good morning ☀️😃
How do we keep our peace in a topsy-turvy world? God’s word is always a good place to start and end. It can center and calm us better than any illegal or pharmaceutical drug designed to numb our brains. Even when depression was my old familiar friend, I preferred the pain to the numbness of drugs. Christ delivered me from periodic bouts of deep depression. The scripture below and the Psalms are always in season for healing. Be blessed and joyful. God knows you even when you don’t know him. He has a plan and purpose for every one willing to receive the free gift 🎁 #Christmas #prayer #hope #depression
My great-grandson helps to keep
me young. Hezekiah proved it again at Legoland. We were walking past the Lego Stars wall—the one with all the celebrity names—when this 11-year-old marched up to an employee pointed to me and said:
“She’s a talker. People recognize her every time we travel. She should be on your wall.” 😌
I just laughed. Hezzie has become a PR agent.
@LEGOLANDFlorida if you’re listening… consider this my official application.
Hezekiah, you will always be my number one fan.
Now you tell me—what’s the boldest or funniest thing one of your kids or grandkids has ever said about you?
Drop it in the comments. I read every one. ❤️ #grandchildren #grandkids
Ponder the “red letter” words of Jesus posted below:
“Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.
For I have come to turn “a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law—a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’
“Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.”
Matthew 10: 34-37 (NIV).
Following Jesus is going to cost you. We don’t get a better deal than the master. Let’s honor Him with boldness and courage.
Every Believer is struggling with something. Perfection is not ours on earth, but we still celebrate our knowledge and relationship with the King. 👑
“Therefore, in order to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.”
2 Corinthians 12: 6-10 NIV).
