Bird in Flight

        This swan makes flying look effortless, but what beauty and encouragement we can see.  The LORD's creation has much to teach us when we take the time to look and think and appreciate what He has made.  This photo is by Carlene Hardt ©2012.

A Prayer in Agreement With God's Word

a time of focused contemplation. 

Today I found in Your Word:

I come into agreement with You,
I declare a remarkable blessing in this situation;

Set Free From Life's Disappointments

                                    Stop fussing, settle down;
you can be happy!
God wants to set you free 
from life’s disappointments.
He wants you to learn
to be stronger and wiser.

The LORD knows your frustration
as disappointments crowd in.

Confidence

Call on the LORD, come to Him!
Open your mind, open your heart!
Name that problem “Challenge”! 
Faith, not feelings is what to find!
Invest your time in His Word!
Daily decide to dialog with someone different! 
Expect to grow as you stretch!
Name that challenge “Opportunity”!  
Christ is empowering you to do what He calls you to do!   
Encourage others by your example!  


But let us who live in the light be clearheaded, 
protected by the armor of faith and love, 
and wearing as our helmet the confidence of our salvation.”
 I Thessalonians 5:8  NLT
