A house has a floor, walls, a roof.
A home is much more than a physical structure.
Wisdom, understanding, and knowledge nurture love;
love is the treasure that fills the rooms of a house making it a home.
What fills the rooms of your house?
Is it your home?
Blessings this day of grace,
Love the Lord without distraction and your hope will be realized.
There is no reward for the envious; their hope will come to nothing.
Do you feel that if you had what others have your life would be better?
Does this feeling make you feel dissatisfied with your life?
What can you do to have contentment now while you wait for your hope?
Blessings this day of grace,
When we give…we receive.
Simple.
What do you have that you can share?
Things that are touched with the hands?
Something that touches the heart?
Blessings this day of grace,
It may seem that those in authority and power have the last word about what will be.
However, the plans of man will come to nothing if not in line with God’s plans.
Sometimes we forget who is in charge.
Does it seem that some plans of wise men and women are succeeding
without God’s blessing?
Are they truly wise men and women if not seeking God’s will for their plans?
Blessings this day of grace,
Some say revenge is sweet;
but in truth it only makes things worse.
Let the Lord do the avenging and it will be finished.
Do you always have to have the last word?
Do you think it is a sign of weakness to let things go?
Blessings this day of grace,
Often when life is a mess we blame God.
In reality the mess is usually the result of our own foolishness.
Have you been angry with God when your mistakes have been costly?
Do you think He is less than loving when He allows you to make mistakes?
Blessings this day of grace,
Words are powerful and are to be used wisely.
Words can bring love or hate, hurt or healing,
laughter or tears, anger or happiness.
It is up to you how you use your words and to what end.
Do you think before you speak?
Are your words life affirming?
Blessings this day of grace,
Dwelling on an offense will cause resentment and bitterness.
Talking about it over and over will cause friends and family to split apart .
If you cannot discuss it and resolve it leave it be.
There can be no healing of a hurt if it is picked at again and again.
How do you react when offended or hurt?
Do you tell the story over and over again to anyone who will listen?
What is more important revenge or reconciliation?
Blessings this day of grace,
All you think and do may seem innocent to you for it is easy to be deceived by self.
Rely not on your own opinion but look to the Lord for the way that is right.
He will discipline you or bless you depending on your motives.
The Lord searches your heart not to cause you pain but to protect you.
What is more important to you;
what you think or what the Lord knows?
Blessings this day of grace,
There is no wisdom without discipline.
One of the first steps to wisdom is the willingness to accept correction.
How do you respond to correction or discipline?
Blessings this day of grace,
