Living It Up

You can put the faults of other people out of your thinking. With all the holiday gatherings and being with family and friends right now it's easy to find fault with others. So let's make it a point to look for the good in EVERYONE we are with and ask God to help us work on our own faults instead. We discuss how. Matthew 7:3-5

Hello, Monday! Hello, Friend! As we spend time with relatives during the holidays isn't it amazing to think how gracious God is to us and to our extremely flawed families? Scripture tell us that He gave grace to the flawed family bloodline of Jesus which includes ours too. Through Christ, as you'll hear today, there is ALWAYS hope for God to do great things through our families no matter how sordid the generations before us. Genesis 19:30-38

Experience the holidays with your heart. Don't just look the part. It's possible when you don't allow the busyness of the season to steal your time with The Lord. Luke 10:38-42

Do you have a difficult time asking for and accepting help from people? What about from God? Today we discuss the misconception attached to the reluctance. Not asking for help isn't always about not being a burden. John 4:10

You will be pleasantly surprised how natural it is to stay spiritually disciplined, committed to walking with the Lord, and to have the desire to serve others once you experience inner peace with God, yourself, and everybody else. I Timothy 1:18-19

It's obvious what happens when we look at the word assume. And when we choose NOT to make assumptions, we are showing love. Today, we discuss how to trust God to reveal truth to you like Joseph did when he thought Mary was unfaithful. Your perspective on your situation can change and you can also experience peace from giving people the benefit of the doubt. Remember, things are not always as they seem. Proverbs 3:5

Even though it's two days before Thanksgiving take care of yourself! Don't feel guilty about it either! Not only will you be able to give love and take care of others you'll be someone they want to be around. Go for a walk, read good book, SLEEP, and above all spend time in worship and God's word. He wants us to develop a lifestyle of habit of self love. Today we discuss why this is such a challenge for many of us to do not just at Thanksgiving time but all the time. Ephesians 5:29, Matthew 11:28-30

If you find yourself obsessing over your plans for Thanksgiving this week let it go! Those fixated thoughts are warring for your attention so you can’t experience God’s activity in your life and what you have to be grateful for! Nothing is worth your awareness of Him and His love for you. Luke 10:38-42

Hope is a soft place to land when the world is so different than what it used to be! Hope gives you back your joy and is a reminder to all of us that we are willing to keep on keeping on! Today we discuss Romans 15:13 and have put the it in first person here just for you to say out loud NOW!! So do it and release your faith that God is working in your life and never it up! "God gives me hope & keeps me happy and full of peace as I believe in him."
