BLESSINGS! We have so many.. count them all day!

February 28th, 2024

Happy Wednesday People! Blessings… so many around us! It would take me all day to write down my blessings as they range from tiny to massive and I thank God daily! I didn’t always see the beauty in a lot of things but today I do and we have so many we just have to remind ourselves! I think someone would trade places with any one of us if given the chance as it seems we tend to look at what we don’t have instead of what we do have! Sitting in my recliner this morning its early drinking coffee reading Gods word and sharing it with the world … wow what a blessing for all those things! May not seem like much to you but to me it means everything as God didn’t have to give me another day, I have a roof over my head, I have clothing, I have food and I have my books and I get to share them with you! To me all blessings as some do not have that or get to have books and some do not get to share Gods word at all! We hear people saying man I have to go to the store I have to do laundry well my friend let’s try this today … God thank you I have the means and a way to go to the store thank you God for the clothing I get to wash in my washing machine .. it is all in how we look at it! Today I would like to know what a few of your blessings are think about it as I believe we can all see others blessings but overlook our own… today all day let the negative go and see things in a positive manner and see how it changes your day! Everyone of us have more blessings than we even realize but tend to focus on the don’t haves and the negative give those a rest think positive and on the …. I have today ❤️… thank the Lord I have a job to go to thank the Lord I have a car to get me there thank the Lord the people I work with are good people I could go on and on.. most of all thank you Lord for giving me mercy and grace and loving me unconditionally! I hope all of you have the most blessed day and count your blessings all day long! I know I am ❤️.. I am favored by God I am good enough I am worthy and I am blessed .. each one of you say that today before walking out your door and keep those thoughts all day long! ❤️
GODS FAVOR WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE… BE OPEN!

February 27th, 2024

Happy Tuesday People! Faith in God is a must! I’ve had faith for a long time now but I didn’t understand the true meaning until the last few years! When we have an understanding of Faith and God and know his path is a better way we live differently! Now that doesn’t mean we are perfect by no means we will mess up we will say and do the wrong thing just not as frequent and when we do we know it instantly and we make it better or try to! If you mess up and someone will not give you grace and mercy just pray as you can’t make someone do that but you can forgive yourself and pray for the other person and I promise one day it will change and one day that person will need grace and mercy and they will remember the treatment that was given by them and sometimes you can’t go back! I am at a point in my life that if something is said about me or something I’ve done but was never asked about it then I let it be and although my heart may hurt as people judge I never loose my faith and know my own heart and soul! If someone wants to think bad of you they will find a reason if they want to think of you as good they will find a reason as we usually justify our own thoughts to what we want and sometimes convince others of the same! If you’re judging someone make sure you are doing everything right as you may be missing out on many blessings because of it or causing others to miss their blessings that can’t be changed! I for one do not ever want to cause someone else to miss out on a blessing! Learn to love yourself and the ones that are meant to be there will be as life is so good and worth living in a positive state of mind! Tell yourself “I can and I will love myself and have a good life” .. the words I Can should be your daily words as our mindset is what runs our day and I plan on having a blessed day no matter what happens! You can overcome trials but while you are overcoming them thank God for the change in you and thank God for the blessings as I believe we should stand in praise even when we think our world is falling apart as God may be putting your life back on the right track and not what you think it should be… give God that blind faith today and only be positive and see how your day is better ❤️.. I know I am!! GODS FAVOR WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!
God sees when we do good when we help others and we are blessed every single time! Time is valuable use it wisely!!

February 26th, 2024

Happy Monday People! This one could be for all of us at different times as everyone is so busy these days! Doing for others is a must as God I believe expects it and the more we do the more we are blessed! Having that blind faith isn’t always easy but once you figure out it’s life and that giving and doing for others is more important than getting! Even if you don’t have much what you give and do for others means so very much and God sees that and will bless you for it! Hard to get to that point in life especially if you don’t have much to give but time is the most valuable thing you have and when you give your time it matters! We are all so busy day after day and our time flies more than you or I even realize and one day we will look back and wonder where time went and did we spend it wisely! When you need that pat on the back because you’re tired pray to God and the peace will be all around you and remind you why you do what you do! Giving to others people will look at it in all different ways some will say thank you some will say they do good things for people some will say who do they think they are trying to impress some will say they think because they have some money they give when they want … all could be true but I know giving is a must to receive and I have given when I didn’t have much but I know I have blind faith and I also know God will provide and that we are to keep helping one another whenever we can! I also believe the more we give and do the more God sees and the more he blesses and uses us! I am to a point that I want God to use me to the fullest as I know I have a testimony and I want to share it with others any chance I get as I know it helps others to know you will be ok you will and can thrive you can succeed no matter what your situation is! It helps others to know they are not alone going through what they think is the end of the world and they are the only one who has gone through a certain situation… not true we all go through things it may just not be known! Help one another and be there through the good and bad as people need one another to be real and loving! I hope today brings you much joy and I hope you find you help someone today somehow someway as there are so many ways to help one another! Have a blessed day ❤️.. I know that I am!
STOP BEING OFFENDED AT EVERY LITTLE THING!

February 24th, 2024

Happy Saturday people! Taking Offense.. this one here is touchy as so many people get offended at the smallest thing sometimes! People get offended at something that was said but never ask the person who said it what was meant instead they tell all their friends their version and then the friends believe it to be true and then they are offended and don’t even know why not to mention the person they are talking about has no idea they are all offended because they didn’t mean it the way one person took it! People get offended over what they heard but only heard a small portion of the conversation and they run wild with it and before long it’s way out in left field from what was actually said! Communication goes a long way with people but I think people have forgotten how to communicate sometimes they have forgotten they have made mistakes before they have forgotten at some point they themselves need forgiven or given a benefit of a doubt! STOP BEING OFFENDED AT EVERY LITTLE THING! Don’t let the world make your heart cold and hard as life is beautiful and people are great we all need to remember we are all here to make it!when you are angry and hold that grudge and talk about it every single day it is hard on you and the people around you let things go and love one another and be happy! One day when you gather someone might not be there to enjoy and you may have wasted years being angry but later on no one really knows why and it robbed so many of joyous moments memories that you can never get back! Live life love one another and let hurt and anger be resolved before it’s too late! I pray everyone has a break through today that needs it ❤️… I know there is someone out there that will receive this today and I hope I hear about it 🙂.. have a beautiful day ♥️.. I know I am!
What a Sovereign God we serve!!! Be thankful today and have peace

February 23rd, 2024

Happy Friday People! What a loving graceful and amazing God we serve!! I was saved and baptized at the age of 21 and I am so thankful but at that time I really had no idea what that meant and what would happen as I was just told you need to be saved and baptized! Years went on and I didn’t feel different I didn’t do anything different and I questioned that for years .. I didn’t grow up being taken to church we didn’t read the Bible we didn’t really talk about God! As the years rolled on I prayed and did things I shouldn’t have and I can remember avoiding people because I thought oh my here they come the ones that go to church every time the doors are open they think they are holy or something yes I did say something like that! As I have aged I have learned and taught myself what being saved and baptized actually means and it’s so much more than we ever thought! I think it’s also hard to teach someone because you have to have blind faith and believe and feel it with your heart and soul and I can say over the last several years and today I feel it 100% and I know who I serve and I know what my God can do and it’s absolutely amazing! I am now that person that I’m sure people say oh let’s go this way or she will talk about that God of hers 🥰… yes I will!!! I wish everyone could feel what I feel about our God as he has picked me up even when I didn’t know him but I didn’t know it then but I sure do now! He has washed me clean and blessed me so very much! Just remember there are still ones out there that will say you’re fake you didn’t change but let that go unless someone has been around you after the change they don’t know but you do! People are reluctant to change sometimes but this change is amazing and you don’t want to miss it! Life is backwards sometimes as I wish I could have felt this at an earlier age but I’m just thankful I allowed this in my heart as I would be lost without my God to rely on! God is a Sovereign God and I’m thankful every second of every day! Thank God today and let him in your heart you will not be disappointed and you will never regret it as God brings peace and comfort at the right time! Place your burdens with God today, have peace and give it a rest I promise you will feel better by the end of the day because you gave it to God and let your mind be at peace! Have a beautiful day everyone ❤️.. I know I am!!
GOD is bigger than any issue or problem we will ever have!

February 22nd, 2024

Happy Thursday People! God is so much bigger than any I mean any of our problems! We just have to remember that he is bigger and not try to do things on our own because we are hurt scared jealous whatever it may be… God has us if we let him! Watching a loved one go through something hard is hard for us to watch and sometimes we may think we have a better solution and maybe can see more since it’s not our problem but when we try to help that loved one it’s not always taken as help sometimes it’s taken as intruding or putting our nose in their business when that’s not what we intended! With that said sometimes it’s best to let people go through their own heartache and pain and just pray and pray for them and be there to pick up the pieces if needed! Not easy to do to let a loved one hurt or suffer but sometimes we just need to pray rely on God and wait as hard as that is sometimes it’s best! God will take care of me and you but we have to let him and just have the faith he is working on it and the patience to wait … for me the waiting kills me sometimes but I’m learning just pray ask God for peace while he’s working …. And he gives it!!! I hope everyone has a blessed and beautiful day ❤️… I know I am!!! 😀
How are your glasses.. can you see good with them or do you need new ones … See how God sees!!!

February 21st, 2024

Happy Wednesday People! Sometimes when we read our devotionals they hit hard sometimes they hit lighter… how does this one hit you? For me I can say years ago I didn’t have good glasses as the world and people were hard but because God is so merciful he offered new ones and I finally took that gift a few years back and it just keeps giving every day more and more! It took awhile because I couldn’t see the light most days I could see bad I would dwell on the bad I would gossip and share the bad and only make it worse! I have learned there is a better way it’s God way! We can justify anything in our own minds good or bad because if you are looking for the bad in someone or something you will find it! If you like someone they can do no wrong if you don’t like someone they can do no right it’s just how you want to deal with someone. Everyone has good in them but sometimes the world makes it hard and they give up or their heart turns cold and they can no longer see the good in people and they scream negativity for themselves and the ones around them but they deserve love and happiness as anyone else. When dealing with people sometimes others just do not want to be around them or get involved if they are negative and honestly I think they need Gods love and ours even more than we realize… don’t give up on people love them no matter what and help when you can because it’s matters! Never give up on someone because I assure you God never gave up on you! Don’t fall into not liking someone just because someone else doesn’t like them as I promise God sees all hearts and I keep trying day after day to do better than I did yesterday with people and things! God is amazing and if you take his hand he will guide lead and love you nomatter what is going on in your life! I need and want Gods hand every second of every day and it makes life so enjoyable and full of love it’s amazing! I hope you all have a very blessed day ❤️.. I know I am! Go out today and make sure those around you know you love them ❤️
Love and keep loving the ones who are negative they need us the most!

February 20th, 2024

Happy Tuesday People! This read this morning was rough but true! If you know someone who has this negativity and mentality don’t just toss them to side, it is my opinion only they are hurting they have had things in their past go wrong they just need someone to love them like God loves us! It sounds easy to love someone in this state but I assure you it is not it takes work forgiveness love and lots of prayers because you will want to give up … never give up on someone who needs you! I love life and more and more every day and I look back on my life and I could have chosen Joy much sooner than I did but I believe I let others keep me down and I needed to get up look in the mirror and know that God wants me happy and he made me the way he wanted and I needed to live life! Once I got out of the negative mindset and did not put my trust in people but in God my world opened up! Negativity is all around us and we can let it suck us in if we aren’t careful and seeing the bad in people instead of the good. I know I harp on this but we all make mistakes and if you are pointing fingers at someone for something they have done and it’s been weeks or years let it go as it’s hurting you more than you realize and people see the hurt and negativity .. be happy love one another and let the past things go so you can live a happy life! Negativity is what the devil wants to keep us in and it’s not a good life as there is good in everyone but sometimes they have convinced themselves with the devils help they are not worthy therefore it shows on the outside and then the people you love start getting it! People are worth the effort so I ask you today have you ever done anything you want to be forgiven for and have you been forgiven? If you have and I’m sure the majority of us will admit that then it’s time for you to have some grace and if you don’t then I hope you are praying about it as we can’t receive if we don’t give! If you know someone that is negative most of the time show them some love but remember it will take more than one time … don’t give up!!!! I hope you go out today and find happiness and then share happiness as it’s a beautiful life that God is allowing us to have! Have a beautiful day ❤️… I know I am!
Ugly thoughts and people being ugly are everywhere.. Let God lead to keep those at a distance!!

February 19th, 2024

Happy Monday People! Some days my devotion hits harder than others for many reasons! We all have or have had the ugly on the inside whether expressed or stays inside myself included! I have made bad decisions in my life and wronged people for one thing or another or said something I shouldn’t have or dod something I wish I could change and if you have never done any of these well I’m happy for you but I’m human and I have! My prayer for myself and others is that people have grace with one another and get out of bad situations as it’s not good for anyone! Over the last few years God took hold of me an showed me some things and it hit hard and as much as I would like to go back and change some things … I cant all I can do is move forward and I have and I am! Don’t be surprised if you are on the same path and people won’t believe you won’t allow you to move forward but they can only do that if you let them! As hard as it is to let go of people you love sometimes you have to walk away and have distance and give it to God and pray about it and the situation will change just not in our time and it’s painful and it’s heartbreaking but God is always there with us during this time! The devil works overtime these days it seems to keep people miserable! I think some people have all this and they make it bigger than it should be but again the devil is on their shoulder and as bad as this sounds some people “think” they like the drama but if they would just let the drama go and love one another and communicate and work with people it’s a much better life! It’s ok to have ugly thoughts as we all do it’s what we do with them that matters and I am trying really hard to keep those ugly thoughts when they arise out of my head and let them go although some days are easier than others especially when it comes to people who just seem to try to make life hard and when you just dont understand that makes it even worse. When we don’t understand why something is happening we search and it goes around in our mind over and over and nothing comes of it but because we love we can’t help it!
When I post these devotionals they are my life experiences my world my thoughts they are not aimed at anyone ever as they are about me and me alone no one else! I just thought I would make sure when you are reading these just know it’s my life and I try to share because I know so many go through things and think they are alone when in reality they are not it’s everywhere and we are never alone when we have God! Let God have your troubles today and try to get them off your mind for a day so you can smile and make happen what God is needing done today! Have the most blessed day ❤️.. I know I am!
Anger will overtake us IF WE ALLOW IT… we have a choice!

February 16th, 2024

Happy Friday Everyone! ANGER DOESNT SOLVE ANYTHING IT BUILDS NOTHING … BUT CAN DESTRU EVERYTHING!!! … I will have to be careful as I have much to say about this one! Anger is a reaction/emotion that gets to every single one of us no matter how hard we try to keep it away we all have it! I have learned we can help our own emotions as others will make us angry if we allow it … again if we allow it! I went through some things a few years back and allowed it and it seemed everyone was upset or angry or mad couldn’t really put my finger on it I just knew when I seemed to be walking on eggshells and I had no idea why it was happening still don’t today! This went on for awhile and I knew something had to change so some things changed and anytime we are dealing with change and people it’s a process! After some time had passed things were back on track and better than ever as the eggshells were gone and positivity laughter and good days were back! I realized I was fighting the change not the people but the change and God showed me in a big way that I needed change and the people I am around are the most amazing humans I have ever known! Anger comes quickly when you are around others who are angry or not in a place they want to be doesn’t mean they hate you it’s just they are not where they need to be and it comes out on everyone so we need to make sure we love people while transitioning! Make sure you are where you should be it makes a difference in your life as everyone deserves happiness so go out and find yours just don’t make others out to be bad guys while you’re looking just move on and find your place and remain happy with others! Bridges are burned sometimes and at some point you may need to repair that bridge as we all need one another! Anger can come quickly and it lingers let’s try to get that anger down to a short time and live our beautiful lives as we don’t need to let that stuff linger it’s not good for anyone! When someone is angry they can’t find the good in something as they look for the bad so they can vent and I completely understand use to be there myself but there is a better way forgive love and help one another let the issues be worked out and talk and vent about good things good people and good lives.. its there we just need to push the good to the front and that will push the bad out if we stop dwelling on it! This is a beautiful day so let’s all go out and be happy and show some love and forgiveness to someone today especially if you want forgiveness yourself from our God! ❤️
