BLESSED DAY

 

Psalms 103:2

“Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:” 


I received a text this morning that framed my thoughts:

“…and you shall have a blessed day.”


Earlier, while attempting to throw trash into the bin, 

I threw in my keys instead.

 The trash bag was still in my hand.

I said out loud: “I don’t believe this!”

Thankfully, trash collection was yesterday.

 My keys were alone at the bottom of the bin.


I turned the bin on its side and went to get a pole to fetch them out.

Keys out, I put the trash in and went inside to disinfect my keys.

I thought: I am not going to let this ruin my day.


When I went into the house my phone beeped.

I picked up the phone and read the text:

“…and you shall have a blessed day.

I wanted to cry and laugh at the same time.

This was not up for discussion.

My soul received the message. 

Blessed day.


Faithful Father God.

Even when I find myself inside the trash bin,

 He keeps blessing me.


Every day is a day to be thankful.

Blessed coming in and blessed going out.

I stand on God’s promises.


On the mountain, or in the valley He is there.

Blessed. God blessed.


Bless the Lord

O my soul and

Forget not

ALL HIS BENEFITS 


You shall have a blessed day.


God bless✨ In Christ,

Sis. Stephanie

SHIFT KEY

  1 Corinthians 13:12 “For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.”  It all depends on how you look at it. What’s your focus? Is the picture clear or blurry? Do you need to crop the photo for a better view? A little shift in focus can be key.  Shifting the way you look at things can make a big difference.  I am looking at the shift key on my keyboard. I have options. Lower case or uppercase. Numerical or special characters. Failure to shift correctly can cause denied access because my password is not recognized. Shift is key. Some things can be better understood if we take the time to change our focus.  Zoom in on what really matters.  Stop looking at things that appear  insurmountable. Instead shift your focus. Look at God. The view is breathtaking when I look up. I see Jesus. He sees me. I am shifting my focus. Eyes lifted up. I see where my help comes from. My help comes from the Lord. The Lord who

Through the Eyes of Faith ...By Grace

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of work, lest anyone should boast.   - Ephesians 2:8-9  “Amazing grace shall always be my song of praise for it was grace that bought my liberty. I don’t know why He chose to love me so. He looked beyond my faults and saw my needs.”  So much has happened since the last time I “saw” you. The changing circumstances of the journey have been stabilized by an Unchanging God.   Journey on my sisters and brothers. Bask in the knowledge that unfailing mercy and sufficient grace surround you.   Grace makes new beginnings possible. We can begin again. The time is now. The choice? It’s yours. Yours for the asking.  Through the eyes of faith…we see Jesus.  God bless! In Christ,  Sis. Stephanie
