Sticky Notes for the Soul

December has arrived and is almost halfway gone in the blink of the eye! This blog has a new Christmas look, our home is decorated and we are excitedly anticipating Christmas!

But, in the preparations it can be easy to lose sight of the true Gift and joy of this time of the year. In the beginning of December, I found Sticky Notes for the Soul...one for every day of December. These powerful reminders lift my eyes and heart above all the distractions and busyness to celebrate, rejoice in and trust in the gifts which never lose their power, Christ's love, peace, joy and grace!

Today's Sticky Note is...

"I will trust that everything happening around me today, every day, is happening to make miracles. Every little thing is going to be okay, because God is working good through every little thing. There is never a night, never a darkness when gifts and miracles and joy aren't coming - coming right to me."

Will reading that each day in December not turn our focus to where it needs to be???!!!

Here is the link to the free download, be encouraged to print it off and read it each day, be encouraged to share and be a blessing as we display in our lives and actions - Jesus, the greatest Gift.

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play. During the last game, my son scored two goals, they were the only goals of the game. In today's game the team scored eight goals. My son came up afterwards to me and said, "I didn't score today, but I blocked". What a powerful truth those words can hold. In life, sometimes we score, sometimes we block. Sometimes we do great things, we excel, we achieve, we meet our goal - we score! There are also times we see the needs of others, sometimes they are sad or hurting, we block their hits. We look out for them so they can score. We...

Word Filled Wednesday – Act Justly

He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the LORD require of you But to do justly, To love mercy, And to walk humbly with your God? Micah 6:8 Sometimes we struggle so hard with the question “What does God want us to do and be?” This verse is a simple yet powerful reminder of some simple things that God requires of us. Act and do justly, love mercy and walk humbly before God. There are numerous opportunities each day to do justly, to do the right thing or to make the right choice. We love mercy when we show kindness or mercy oftentimes to those who do not deserve it. Walking humbly before God is acknowledging He alone is God. He is the I AM – no one else is. When we give Him the glory He is worthy of, it will humble our heart before Him....
