Download the episode here Reading my Bible in the morning and singing a bit helps me to have a more positive start to my day. Consider this verse:

Romans 12:6 says "God has given each of us the ability to do certain things well."

We don't realize that and think everyone can do those things, but that's not true. Make a list of all the things you can do well. Don't ever feel you have nothing to offer. Others need exactly what you have!

Have a wonderful new day, Carol

Welcome to my new podcast! I'm planning to release a new episode every Monday. Below are the show notes. I hope you enjoy this new feature.

Most Richly Blessed

I asked God for strength, that I might achieve. I was made weak, that I might learn humbly to obey.

I asked for health, that I might do greater things. I was given infirmity, that I might do better things.

I asked for riches, that I might be happy. I was given poverty, that I might be wise.

I asked for power, that I might have the praise of men. I was given weakness, that I might feel the need of God.

I asked for all things, that I might enjoy life. I was given Life, that I might enjoy all things.

I got nothing I asked for, but everything I had hoped for. Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered.

I am, among all men, most richly blessed.
