Stop and think!

When a flashlight grows dim or quits working, do you just throw it away? Of course not. You change the batteries. When a person messes up or finds themselves in a dark place, do you cast them aside? Of course not. You help the, you help them change their batteries. Some need AA’s -- attention and affection. Some need AAA’s -- attention, affection and acceptance. Some need C --compassion. Some need D -- direction. And if they still don’t seem to shine, simply sit with them quietly and share your light.

When you feel alone try to remember this. Above you are God’s overshadowing wings (Psalm 91:4). Beneath you are God’s everlasting arms (Deuteronomy 33:37). All around you is the Angel of the Lord (Psalm 34:7). Inside you is God’s peace (Philippians 4:7). Thank you, Heavenly Father.

 

Here on Thursday was Hilda Clack and Lawrence Smith from West Monroe. We had a very long, but great, visit. 

Well I suppose the school bells have been ringing for our children. Be mindful of the school buses for the safety of our children. I wish for them a safe and happy school year.

How to fix America

Put Jesus back in all the places you asked him to leave, home, school, government, church and your heart.

The butterfly does not look back at the caterpillar in shame, just as you should not look back at your past in shame. Your past was part of your own transformation.

Just because you ignore God doesn’t mean He ignores you. Nor does it mean He leaves you. Deal with it Christian. 

You’re not more powerful than His commitment to you.

If you watch HGTV too long, you’ll become dissatisfied with your home. If you stay on social media too long, you’ll become dissatisfied with your life. If you watch the news too long, you’ll become dissatisfied with the world.

Unplug.

Pray.

Read the Bible.

Spend time with loved ones.

Take a walk.

Our minds are easily influenced, but we control what the influences are.

Choose wisely.

 

Well, it’s summertime, so let’s go to the beach.

There is no reset button in life.

 You can’t take anything back and you can’t undo anything. All of your actions have consequences and the things you say and do today will have a lasting impact on the rest of your life.

 You have to understand that and you have to be aware of it while making your decisions.

 If God is making you wait, then do what waiters do ... serve.

 

 I found out that my “lil cuz” Randy was buying a place near hear so maybe he’ll come around more often. Ha.
