Food For Thought March 31, 2009

Two quotes I would like to share today:

“A DAY WITHOUT LAUGHTER IS A DAY WASTED”

and

“You can use most any measure when you’re speaking of success. You can measure it in a fancy home, expensive car or dress. But the measure of real success is one you cannot spend – It’s the way your child describes you when talking to a friend.”  Martin Baxbaum

I don’t know about anyone else, but these words slam me in the face and help me realize what my days should truly consist of.

Cheering Others On January 22, 2009

This road of life can be discouraging especially when we think we are traveling it alone.  We all need encouragement to uplift our souls as we walk along this journey of life. 

God has put this question on my heart:

What am I doing to show others God’s love?

 I ran across this very inspirational article about some Christians who decided to reach out and make a difference to some boys that needed some encouragement.

Truth Projects “Cheering for the Underdog

I am seeking inspiration and input from others. 

Please share your ideas for getting involved in our communities so that others will see God’s love for them.

I DESIRE:

to leave evidence of a creative and curious life using all the gifts God has given me to fulfill His purposes for my life here on this earth.

to be still in order to know and experience the presence of God daily.

to live a life that blesses others and be an inspiration of what is possible.

to have my uniqueness shine in 2009.

to have clear goals that by year’s end I feel I have accomplished.

to create and maintain loving relationships and cultivate true friends

to have a pure heart, feel a sense of personal peace and live a simple life.

to create purposeful and creative work that gives true value to the world and develops multiple profitable income streams.

to have a sense of humor and be aware of the power of laughter.

to have patience to wait on God’s timing and the wisdom to know when it comes.

 

 

2009 – A Clean Slate January 4, 2009

Just wanted to share a few quotes about the New Year. Time for a change. 

 

Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let each new year find you a better man.   ~Benjamin Franklin

Every man should be born again on the first day of January. Start with a fresh page. Take up one hole more in the buckle if necessary, or let down one, according to circumstances; but on the first of January let every man gird himself once more, with his face to the front, and take no interest in the things that were and are past.   ~Henry Ward Beecher

We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year’s Day.   ~Edith Lovejoy Pierce

The object of a New Year is not that we should have a new year. It is that we should have a new soul……… Unless a man starts afresh about things, he will certainly do nothing effective.  ~G.K. Chesterton

 

2009 is a clean slate for all of us.  Let us all allow God to refresh and invigorate our souls and turly give us a fresh start.

This is one of the most inspiring videos I have ever seen. How anyone can still complain or whine about anything after watching it is beyond my understanding.

New Focus October 30, 2008

Sometimes we all need a new focus.  We go along in life and things become stagnant, stale, the same old same old. We get too comfortable doing things the way we’ve always done them. We settle down and refuse to change or try anything new. We all do it. That’s just how it works.

God understands this, He created us. So with God we get a fresh start everyday. But much of the time we don’t take that new start or understand that we can start new. Sometimes we need to be redirected. I saw this article in the Tennessean and thought it made some marvelous points.

Particularly, I like the line, “The goal is to help church members develop from being people who believe in Jesus to people who act like Christians.” Wow, what a thought!

Take a look and see what you think: Bellevue church finds new purpose.
