Good Morning Dear Friends,

If I was to take a poll among those of you reading

this email this morning, I wonder how the

results would turn out? How many of you have

perfect, trouble free lives? Waiting...

What? None of you? I am shocked.

Reality check: NO one is perfect, no one will

have trouble free lives, and no one has all they need.

The richest people in the world do not have all they need,

that is why they keep seeking new acquisitions. Money

does not buy happiness, but it can make life easier.

A good attitude is far greater to be desired.

Paul wrote something that we all need to be reminded of

often:

Not that I am referring to being in need; for I have learned to be content with whatever I have. I know what it is to have little, and I know what it is to have plenty. In any and all circumstances I have learned the secret of being well-fed and of going hungry, of having plenty and of being in need. I can do all things through him who strengthens me. In any case, it was kind of you to share my distress.

Philippians 4:4-13

How many of you today can say I am content with where I am at?

If not, what good does it do not to be content? Does it make

you depressed, unhappy, feeling at loose ends, and not sure

of yourself or your future? To me, not being content is a lack

of faith. It means we are trusting in our circumstances,

and our possessions and not in God.

Life is not about what we accumulate, or own, it is about

how we invest it.

Whatever you are dealing with today, and each of us

probably have a full plate of things to deal with, we must

deal with it in faith. When someone listens to you,

what comes out of your mouth? Poor me? Life is hard?

Isn't this a battle? It is for me. I really struggle with

it because of health. But then I think... you know what,

this is the way it is.. what can I do to make it shine?

What can I do that is worthy today and will make a difference?

I am looking beyond my situation into possibilities of

making it better, of reaching out, of seeking God's word

to inspire my heart with faith, and comfort, and hope

and strength.

I am not going to lay down and die, and give up and

be defeated. I am going to let the words that come

out of my mouth speak faith in God's abilities

and not fear about my situation.

Are we speaking from a viewpoint of a victor or victim?

What can we personally do to change it.

Give it to the Lord Jesus, leave it at his feet, and go

out and make your day the best you can. Invest it

in loving others, loving yourself, filling up with God's word

to fuel your spirit for the day.

Just do it in faith, and be content.

Your life is what it is, make it the best you can and

don't complain. Only you can make it better, no one

else is going to rescue you and do it for you. You have

to make it shine, and be a olympic gold medalist in

your attitude. Never quit, never give up, never

lose your faith or hope. Pick yourself up and start

over again and fight the good fight of faith.

God is watching over you, and will NOT leave you

to face this alone. He will be a constant source

of strength and inspiration. Receive that. Live it.

Walk it. Talk it. Speak it. Just do it.

Let your light so shine before men that they may see

your good works and glorify your Father whom is in heaven.

Matthew 5:16

Be a light.. to yourself..and others. Climb out of

the valley of discontent, and change your attitude

and change your life. It is the only one you have.

Love always

When you reach the end of your rope
you will find the hem of His garment.

I have often felt that many things that bring us to our knees,
teach us while we are down there to learn to pray.

These possibilities are open to everyone.
Don't tell God you are not good enough, do what He asks.
Don't tell God to send someone else, He asked you.
Don't tell God you don't have time to pray, He said seek me first.
Don't neglect the things of God. He said we are to
pick up His cross daily and follow Him.
Don't tell God anything is bigger than His ability.
God is the Great I Am, I am whatever you need.

There is no pit so deep, God's love is not deeper still.

Not my will but thine oh Lord.

Happy moments, praise God.
Difficult moments, seek God.
Quiet moments, worship God.
Painful moments, trust God.
Every moment, thank God
