Lives of Thanksgiving

As I look back over this day I sit in amazement.
I enjoyed a day of amazing food, amazing fun and a show with amazing entertainment.  As I listened to the music I thought of how thankful I am for being able to hear the sounds.  See the lights. Feel the beat. Smell the food… and enjoy the endless blessings that our God pours on my head. As we fill our souls with the spirit of Christ we learn to have lives of thanksgiving. Lives of grateful hearts. Lives of unending happiness.  Each day is a choice.  Do we see his love, his blessings, his grace. Or do we choose to see the negative, the bad, the dark.  When you find yourself always seeing the good, always seeing the light and feeling pure joy then and only then will you know that his spirit has become yours.

Do You Feel Lost?

Do you ever feel lost?  Do you feel like you don’t belong… in the place where you find yourself?  Lately I have felt lost!  I look… I listen… I notice… I deal with and encounter others who seem to have  no love or even thoughts of our Savior.  I watch as people are so ugly…

Pure Gospel!

The line from the movie was: “Seeing isn’t believing. Believing is seeing.”  As that hit me, my heart pondered, and the movie fell away.  When your faith becomes strong, you began to see Jesus in everyplace and everyone. During Jesus last moments, the lessons he gave us were some of the most important.  That is…

Bone Deep Love!

As we all sit in a circle the question was; “what do you get from your spouse”?  After listening to all the desires, all the wants from the others, I simply answered “I expect nothing from Lorna except to love me”.  Love is a free choice.  As the two of us are soulmates, our love…
