I played with my books today… These are all the books I pulled out of the bookcase that I haven’t read yet (there were more that I could have pulled but these were the most interesting), some that I probably bought thirty years ago…

Son3 wearing his new sweatshirt that he picked from online and has been asking me to order it for him for months… it was finally cold enough to wear it so I ordered it and it came on Tuesday… He has barely taken it off since…

Joyce Meyer Ministries

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?
