Food For Thought

A journaling topic that Kim Erickson suggests is as following, " Write some things that happened this week that got in the way of your having a joyful day."

  Well,  honestly, I could sit down forever and talk about this topic.  It's these kind of affirmations that have really gotten me through the day.  I wish I had known about them when I was younger.  Middle School and High school might have been a little easier.  However, I never really had any bullies attack me then.  At that time, the only real bully was my inner-self.  I stayed positive and always tried to keep my mind on God and things that do not concern this world.  Happy places, quiet places, and dreaming about far off worlds usually kept my mind busy.   That is how it is today as well, but sometimes, having a reminder every now and then doesn't hurt.   Not everyone is going to be your friend, and not every one is going to send positive vibes.  Sometimes you have to do it yourself, you have to wake up thinking it is going to be a wonderful day.  Sometimes you have to make yourself be happy.    On page 127,  Kim Erickson also quotes Eleanor Roosevelt. It reads like this, " No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. "  I am glad I came across this Bible study.  I am going to take this quote and memorize it, put it in my phone and list to it each morning.   I hope you do the same.


   Hope you have a wonderful day !

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...
