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...

Thoughtful Thursday

If God Be For Us 31 What then shall we say to this? If God is for us, who is against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, will he not also give us all things with him? 33 Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies; 34 who is to condemn? Is it Christ Jesus, who died, yes, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who indeed intercedes for us?[e] 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, “For thy sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.” 37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am sure that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from...
