Your Unique Adventure

Another day, more things to do.  

Keeps your brain and body working, too.

Unexpected interruptions?  Probably . . . 

Wake up, get going! You will soon see.

What’s the best attitude for today?

Well, now is the time to start to pray! 

Ask God for wisdom, health, and energy;

Problems can bring opportunity!

Determination is what you need;

Be glad you can concentrate and succeed.

Conquer any anger, fear, and frustration;

Anticipate your coming celebration.  

Your example can challenge someone, too.

This new day will be interesting for you.

Be open to doing good, and learning how;

Your unique adventure for today starts now!

Think About This, Thankfully

In the good times . . . 

In the hard times . . . 

Remember all the time

God cares about you;

God cares for you.

You have been blessed . . . 

You are being blessed . . . 

Remember why Jesus came.

He wants to save you;

Remember to be thankful.

He hears your prayer.

Be honest to confess . . .

Be honest to request . . .

And do all of this

All the time.

Temporarily

I’ve been plodding along a rocky path,
Barely able to squint to see;
It’s lonesome out here, but only
Temporarily.

One day rain poured down in silver buckets;
Sunshine again, when would it be?
I have to admit I did complain,
Temporarily.

Now it’s uphill on a scorching hot day;
Muscles are crying unendingly,
But then I remember it’s tough,
Temporarily.

Life’s laden with stress and aggravation;
How much longer such difficulty?
My goals achieved only partly and
Temporarily.

Then God whispers peace to my struggling heart;
“Trust, My child, and obey Me.”
Soon life’s lessons will have served their purpose,
Eternally.

Of Course, You Can!

I think I can,

Of course, I can,

              I will.

* Considering . . . Announcing . . . Committing  

Preliminary position

Positive possibilities

Pleasing proclamation

* Tentative. . . Encouraged. . . Determined

A little reminder 

A little nudge

A little step in the right direction

* Pondering. . . Deciding. . . Pronouncing

Alert, so I will pray

Aware, so I will plan

Advancing, so I will proceed

* Cautious. . . Confident. . . Celebrating

Prayerfully with respect

Responding to reply

Pursuing the project

* Pray. . . Plan. . . Prepare

You think you can?

  You will?

  Of course, you can!
