One Hundred Blessings!!

Did you stop today?  To give “Thanks” for the array of blessings that God pours on us.  The air you breathe… the  complexity of the body you live in… the beauty of the world around you… the sounds that fill our sky… the love of others… the taste of food… the smell of fresh bread… My wife and I even give thanks together for the gift of intimacy in our marriage. 

The practice of the Israelites’ was to give prayers of gratitude, for at least one hundred blessings, per day!  How much better would your life be if you focused to that degree on the blessings instead of the issues.  Start today and give little prayers of gratitude for everything you encounter. Give prayers of thanksgiving for every moment.  Give prayers of blessing even in the storms for the strength he gives and the lessons he is teaching.    

I promise it will change YOUR life and those around you!

1 Thessalonians 5:12 – 28

I Love You!

To Be Humble!

67 times in scripture God and his son mention pride and the sin it is.  67 times God reminds us that pride is not of his heart but of this world.  Pride leads to judgement… judgement leads to more pride… excessive pride leads to loss of love.  Pride in our social standing…  in our worldly…

Life Changed!

As I sit in this large restaurant, there are so many people. Waiters and waitresses.  Buss boys and cooks.  Everyone rushing around.  People are busy eating and visiting.  It gives me pause.  I think on the hustle and bustle, of Bethlehem this night.  The streets were crowded.  The taverns where filled to overflowing.  The hotels…

There Is A Battle!

He battled. Daily Jesus battled.  He spent his time in a never ending battle with evil.  With demons. With Satan.  He stood strong and fought well, but in the end… he was crucified.  He was tortured… beaten… scarred… and taken to Hell.  Then in a moment, he woke, he rose, and he walked again.  They…
