Since you are going to be with yourself all day today anyway, you may as well enjoy yourself! -Joyce

If you'll do what you can do, God will do what you can't do.
Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Galatians 6:9
Live to please God, not people. You have His approval, and that is all you really need!

Today, Linda, we believe God wants you to know that ...

when the sun rises, it rises for you.

Yes, for you. Just for you. Only for you. You are it, everything, the whole universe with all the billion galaxies and stars. The separateness you feel is only a mask you have put on to enjoy this human form. Under the mask, your shape is All. How far can you now feel yourself expand? To your parent?... to your child?... to your friend?... to a stranger on a street?... half way around the globe?

No matter what kind of a mess we've got, God's got more grace than our mess.

The grace of God that saved us is the exact same grace that will change us and help us grow.

We all make mistakes. If we could be perfect, we wouldn't need Jesus.

Let God work. God can do more in you in 5 minutes, than you can do in 25 years of trying.

Sometimes the way we describe grace can be a bit too spiritually fluffy. How about this: He blesses us when we deserve to have our behinds kicked.

working together is good.

We are meant to support one another in this world. Let go of the feeling that you have to do everything alone. Ask someone if they want to join you.

November Eleventh

 

VeteransDay_1

Yesterday I got to work early at 5am to set the ad…

Yes, I talked to the store manager and told him I would do footwear…

Yes, I got a raise…

I start next Sunday on the 17th…

Got home from work and got hubby all caught up on the footwear news…

Then we went to Walmart…

Didn’t get home til almost 6pm…

So more soup for dinner…

While I was at Walmart the store manager called to let me know we were going in at 4am today so we could get stocking done early since it was a holiday and we couldn’t be on the floor when the store was open…

3895272

But since I went in to work at 4am, I got off at noon…

When I left for work, son2 was still up playing his game since he didn’t have school today… He went to bed about 5am and got up at 10:30am…

He came home Saturday night from dog sitting as son1 had to cut his weekend short as his work called him to work on Sunday…

When I got home today hubby was already at work, the boys were playing their games…

I ran the dishwasher, posted the bills, finished sorting the lemons into the totes for the garbage man tomorrow, washed the van, water the plants in the front yard, checked email, Facebook, cleared off the dining room table and put out my ceramic turkey… Had son3 try on the pants I got him yesterday… they are too big… maybe he’s not quite ready for men’s pants… But he’s almost out of boys…  And I did a load of laundry…

Now we are eating dinner… Hubby still won’t be home for a bit, so he’ll eat when he gets home… I made chicken patties, curly fries, creamed corn, pork & beans and macaroni salad… Then the boys need to get ready for school tomorrow… Showers and back packs ready…

I’m either too excited about the promotion back to footwear or I am buzzing from the Mt. Dew I have been drinking… I stayed up til ten last night, got up early this morning and I’m still going… Hubby’s been falling asleep before me… lol…

He’s been busy decorating the store for Christmas, so he’s been making some ornaments, decorations at home…

Son2 is picking his classes for next semester… His last classes for his GE… He just needs PE, Math and English…

Dinner was good… I’m full…

Sadly, because God is sometimes slow to respond, people give up. God takes His time because what He is making isn’t going to be junk.

when you focus on problems, you will have more problems.

When you focus on possibilities, you will have more opportunities.
