Making the Best of Depression

   When there is a lot of snow on the ground, it is so easy for the Devil to move in and speak the word " Depression" in your ear.  Being depressed is no fun and there are definitely  so many excuses that you can use in a winter storm.  The Devil will really use your mind as a playground so keep busy.  Clean your house, read a book, learn to crotchet.
     Keep your mind moving as best you can if you do not wish to be depressed.  It is very easy to think negatively when you are stuck in the house all day long.  Whether you are by yourself or have a bigger family and going  stir crazy, don't let the Devil have even an inch of your mind. Believe me, He will do His best to put silly thoughts in your mind to get you all out of shape.
     Now would be a good time to start some kind of a journal. Journaling is a good way to jot down your positive thoughts. When one keeps a journal, you can look back on a droopy day and remember your most favorite times in life. It's a win, win to keep a journal. I am going to start my own faith journal so when I am depressed I can remind myself of all the good things.
   Last but not least, pick up a new hobby. Crafts are a good and safe way to beat boredom.  I have started crocheting as a personal hobby. I do not do it every day, but it is something that I can do by myself  and give the end projects to friends and family as gifts.  They love home made Christmas presents!
    So, during this storm, be creative! Don't let the Devil have even an inch to move in your smart and intelligent mind. He will try and use every technique He has to get you to become one of His. Brew a cup of coffee, if that is your thing, and start the day out positive.  It will most likely end up that way as well. Don't give room for the negative thoughts.   There is always something you can do to keep busy. #beblessed

Terrific Tuesday

2 Peter 1King James Version (KJV) 1 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: 2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; 6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; 7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. 8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall n...

Terrific Tuesday

The Priority Principal Priority according to dictionary.com  means  the right to take precedence in obtaining certain supplies, services, facilities, etc., especially during a shortage. In life, we all must set priorities.  Not only must we set priorities, we must decide which priorities" will help us succeed.  Making lists help me tackle tasks but they also help me visualize my priorities. “A morning-glory at my window satisfies me more than the metaphysics of books.” ― Walt Whitman Establish a base point and determine what your strengths and weaknesses are.  Don't compare to others,  God gave us each a special" light to shine....we need to shine it. Once picking the top priorites,  keep your focus on those priorites and the others will fall in place. Age doesn't matter here, but, according to Nature, we each get older every day, so learning to set priorites when we are young will make a difference on ...
