1. Wake Up !!

Decide to have a good day.
'This is the day the Lord hath made;
let us rejoice and be glad in it.'
Psalms 118:24

2. Dress Up !!

!cid_68FCED386492481FB881976FC2A89C51@BACKOFFICE The best way to dress up is to put on a smile.
A smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks.
'The Lord does not look at the things man looks at.
Man looks at outward appearance,
but the Lord looks at the heart.'
I Samuel 16:7

3. Shut Up!!
!cid_58181A800D29431A80B5360A01C9C29B@BACKOFFICESay nice things and learn to listen.
God gave us two ears and one mouth,
so He must have meant for us to do twice as much listening as talking.
'He who guards his lips guards his soul.'
Proverbs 13:3

!cid_26663F28F82748C48AE8E7BD2F56AD5A@BACKOFFICE 
4. Stand Up!!

!cid_A6EA2DB03E7E4A4A984CCA42FD7F6B5A@BACKOFFICE . . . for what you believe in.
Stand for something or you will fall for anything.
'Let us not be weary in doing good; for at the proper time,
we will reap a harvest if we do not give up..
Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good...'
Galatians 6:9-10

!cid_26663F28F82748C48AE8E7BD2F56AD5A@BACKOFFICE

5. Look Up !!

!cid_0CB1DE53D39D4E7EAD28B0DB26971123@BACKOFFICE . . to the Lord.
'I can do everything through Christ who strengthens me'.
Philippians 4:13

!cid_26663F28F82748C48AE8E7BD2F56AD5A@BACKOFFICE 
6. Reach Up !!
!cid_296048987E034952AF3AEFD85C4B91AC@BACKOFFICE . . for something higher.
'Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and lean not unto your own understanding.
In all your ways, acknowledge Him, and He will direct your path.'
Proverbs 3:5-6

!cid_26663F28F82748C48AE8E7BD2F56AD5A@BACKOFFICE
7. Lift Up !!
!cid_600999B1F691484C948210E7D27BBF00@BACKOFFICE . . your Prayers..

    Really cute - and a nice "smile" for my Friday evening. I also really enjoyed your post "at the well" this week. What a blessing it is when we know that we have found the perfect "compliment" that God designed just for us! And that really does usually involve - opposites:) Hope you have a great weekend!

    How very cute!

    And I love the simple, yet profound message:

    Rejoice.
    Smile.
    Be nice.
    Listen.
    Do good.
    Don't give up.
    Be strong.
    Trust.
    Pray.

    "All I ever need to know I learned in the Bible!!!"

    GOD BLESS!

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

Relationships and Redemption

In every friendship or relationship, there is a common hope that they will grow and flourish. There is something inside of us that longs for a 'happy every after' story. We dream about it and work to make that happen. But in reality, relationships are a challenge. The bridging of values, lifestyles, interests and sacrificing for another are simply hard things to do! No matter how much we dream of the perfect fit, some relationships will not endure the stress.  When differences appear and tensions arise, prayer can change situations, attitudes and ourselves. For the Christian, we know God can transform, change, heal. We cannot change others, but prayer opens us the door for God to step in and answer. God desires transformation, but does not demand it. The gift of free will allows us to choose to say Yes or No to Him.  Romans 12:18 says, “If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.” Take notice of the first two words: “If possible …” This implies that some
