Happiness Tip [Count Your Blessings]

Happiness Tip for troubled hearts #1: Count your blessings Call to mind God’s blessings moment by moment, especially when things seem at their worse. A thankful heart cannot exist with an anxious heart. Try taking a “thank you God” walk daily, and count your blessings with each step, being mindful of the moment at hand, your surroundings, and your breath. Before you know it your focus will shift from fear to faith, and the weight you are carrying will be lifted by God.

What’s the Most Important Thing to do Today?

Is your "to do list" packed for the day?
Probably so, just like mine. Let's take a deep breath before we begin the day and tell God how awesome He is! He should be the most important focus of our day, from which everything else finds its meaning. For in Him we live and move and have our being (Acts 17:28). Psalm 103 Let all that I am praise the Lord;
with my whole heart, I will praise his holy name . . .

Cross Thoughts

Cross Thoughts

Cross Thoughts . . . When I think about the cross of Christ so many thoughts and emotions come to mind. The foremost thought being gratefulness, and the foremost emotion being peace. When we begin our day with a grateful heart we won't find room to complain. Thankfulness and negativity cannot co-exist.

Forget Not

Life is tough. But no matter what we are going through, there's always something to be thankful for . . . 
"Praise the Lord, my soul,
and forget not all his benefits—
who forgives all your sins
and heals all your diseases,
who redeems your life from the pit
and crowns you with love and compassion,
who satisfies your desires with good things
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s."
—Psalm 103
