Make It A Habit

Make it a habit to look for the good in everything. ~Look For The Good Quotes ~

If we make it a habit to look for the good in all situations, we will have a happier life. This takes practice, especially when a situation is tough, but I know from personal experience it's possible.

After dealing with Todd's death, many life situations that have been anything but good, now this situation with my husband, I can see so many good things that God has done and is doing. But when things happen that you don't like, you have to decide to look for the good.

Our Bible verse says. And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose for them. Romans 8:28 NLT

God will cause everything we go through to work out for our good. He will fulfill His purpose in the good and bad things that happen. Look for the good!

Make it a habit to look for the good in everything.

We Don't Know

We don't know what tomorrow holds, but we know Who holds tomorrow. ~ We Don't Know Quotes ~

We have had quite a week. Last Saturday, we drove 3 hours to an outside birthday party. We had a fun time, and then I looked down and realized my 20+-year-old cross on my chain was missing. We looked all over, but we never found it. I felt pretty sad. We drove another 3 hours home.

Sunday morning, everything seemed perfectly normal. We usually do our yardwork on Sunday afternoon. I was downstairs when I heard Bill calling my name. I thought he was outside, but he was upstairs.

I ran upstairs, and Bill told me I needed to take him to the emergency room. He was admitted to the hospital. He's home now and doing well. But think how awful this emergency would have been if it had happened the day before.

Our Bible verse says. Don't brag about tomorrow because you don't know what the day will bring. Proverbs 27:1

This verse is a warning. We sure don't know what tomorrow will bring.

We don't know what tomorrow holds, but we know Who holds tomorrow.

Life and Liberty

Magnify

By Kay Heitsch

Don't magnify problems. Magnify the LORD! ~ Magnify The LORD Quotes ~

It's easy to talk about our problems. The more we talk about them, the bigger they seem to get. Our God is all-powerful. I wonder what would happen if instead of magnifying our problems, we magnified the LORD.

Our Bible verse says. Oh, magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt His name together! Psalm 34:3

This verse tells us to magnify the LORD! Let's exalt His name today and every day.
