Served and Sacrificed

By Kay Heitsch

This Memorial Day. Remember and honor all who have served and sacrificed for our freedom. ~ Memorial Day Quotes ~

I think it's important to have a day where we can stop and honor all who have served and sacrificed for our freedom. Here in the USA, we take so much for granted. Today, we can stop and remember.

Our Bible verse says. There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. John 15:13 NLT

Jesus laid down His life for our eternal salvation. Our veterans have laid down their lives for the freedoms we have here in the USA.

This Memorial Day. Remember and honor all who have served and sacrificed for our freedom.

Our weakness is an opportunity for God's strength to shine. ~ God's Strength Quotes ~

When we recognize our weakness and ask God to help us, this is an opportunity for God's strength to shine.

Our Bible verse says. My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak, but God remains the strength of my heart; He is mine forever. Psalm 73:26

No matter what our weakness is, we know that God remains the strength of our hearts. We can allow Him to shine, no matter what.

Rise Above It!

By Kay Heitsch

Rise above the storm, and you will find the sunshine. ~ Inspirational Quotes ~

Dr. Peale would say, "Rise above it! Rise above it!" in his messages about rising above difficulties with God's help. Whenever I felt stressed, I would recall Dr. Peale's words: "Rise above it!"

Our Bible verse says. But those who trust in the LORD will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint. Isaiah 40:31

When we put our trust in the LORD, we will find new strength! We can rise above the storms of life and do whatever we need to do.

Rise above the storm, and you will find the sunshine.

The Secret

I know the secret of happiness. ~ Secret Quotes ~

The following Bible verses are two that I have read many times. However, I somehow missed the "The secret" part.

Here's the verses. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation. I can do all this through Christ, who gives me strength. Philippians 4: 12&13

The secret to contentment is found in Christ, who gives us strength. When we learn to be content, then we will be happy.

I know the secret of happiness.

Our Bible verse says. Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying. Romans 12:12 NLT

I Know That Was You, Lord

By Kay Heitsch

Sometimes I look up to Heaven, smile and say, "I know that was You, God. Thank You! ~ Trusting God Quotes ~

I've had several surprises from God. Some people may call it "luck' but I call it a blessing from God.

Just this morning, I was busy getting things ready to go to the cemetery and put things on Todd and GM&GP Z's graves. I like to put the little red cardinal on the top of Todd's stone.

I colored the cardinal with a magic marker, but I couldn't find the putty to hold it to the stone. I looked everywhere. Finally, I prayed. I had the thought of looking in the basement for a box of junk. There the puddy was. I smiled and knew it was God.

Our Bible verse says. The LORD has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy. Psalm 126:3

I was filled with joy when I found that puddy. This may not seem great to most, but it was to me.

Sometimes I look up to Heaven, smile and say, "I know that was You, God. Thank You!

Joy Gives You Strength

By Kay Heitsch

A joyful attitude gives you power over your circumstances, rather than your circumstances having power over you. ~ Joy Gives You Strength Quotes ~

We're planning a get-together next week. I have a lot to get ready, but as long as I keep a joyful attitude, I have been able to enjoy the process. I've asked the Lord to help me remember what all I need to do and to also give me the energy to do it. So far so good.

Our Bible verse says. ...The joy of the LORD is your strength. Nehemiah 8:10

This is so true. The joy the LORD gives is our strength! Thank You, LORD!

A joyful attitude gives you power over your circumstances, rather than your circumstances having power over you.
