Courage, Strength, and Faith

"Have the COURAGE to make a change, the STRENGTH to see it through, and the FAITH that everything will turn out for the best."  Strength Quotes 

When we start out on anything new we need COURAGE to make a change. If we want to quit we need the STRENGTH to see it though. And even though it may seem like a struggle at times we need FAITH that everything will turn out for the best.

When we spend time with the Lord we will find new strength. We can sore high like an eagle and we can run and not be weary. (See Isaiah 40:31)

What a way to live with Courage, Strength and Faith.

What Are You Looking For?

by Kay Heitsch

"What we see is mainly what we look for. Look for the positive in each day." ~ Quotes ~

It's interesting to see how our attitude towards something can change the way we look at life. The things that happen may not be good, but if we look for the positive in it, we can usually find it.

This Bible text encourages us to look for the good. "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

If we look for the good in each day it's more than likely we will find it.

Take Your Medicine

 by Kay Heitsch

"Live a joyful life with lots of laughter. Life is better when you laugh!" "A joyful heart is good medicine..." Proverbs 17:22 ESV

Did you know that our youth hormone increases 87% and we boost our immune system when we laugh?

There is a lot of stress and trouble in our world, but the Bible gives us a way that we can deal with the trouble and stress. It says to be of good cheer. "In the world you'll have trouble. But be of GOOD CHEER! I have overcome the world." John 16:33.

There is healing power in a joyful heart. So let's take our medicine everyday!

Be A Carrier

 by Kay Heitsch

"A healthy attitude is contagious, but don't wait to catch it from others. Be a carrier." ~ Attitude Quotes ~

I really liked today's quote. I hadn't thought that a healthy attitude is contagious and that we could be a carrier before. How cool is this!

I know if I smile at someone most times they will in turn smile back. I suppose a smile is the first step in being a carrier of a healthy attitude.

I believe our world would be a healthier place if we all were carriers of a healthy attitude.

Pick Your Pain

 by Kay Heitsch

"Pick your pain. The pain of change or the pain of regret."

If we want change in our lives we have to accept that there will be pain. The pain of not eating what we want to lose those extra pounds. The pain of exercise with sore muscles. The pain we feel when we really want to say something and we keep quiet.

But there is also the pain of regret. Now that's real pain too. We know we should or not do something. Then we choose to do or not do it anyway. Now we have the pain of regret.

"Fools vent their anger, but the wise quietly hold it back." Proverbs 29:11

Our lives are full of choices. Pick your pain. The pain of change or the pain of regret.

Lord, Help Me To Do This Right

by Kay Heitsch

"Lord, help me to do this right. Sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same." ~ Quotes ~

We all go through situations in life that are difficult. What's cool is that we don't need to go through them alone. We can pray, "Lord, help me to do this right."

If we do it right, we can come out with a testimony. There are times when we don't do it right then all we come out with are the moanies.  😊

Sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same. "But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumph..." Corinthians 2:14 when we pray, "Lord, help me to do this right!"

Get Your Hopes Up

 by Kay Heitsch

"Hope is a powerful thing. But it won't thrive in an atmosphere of can't." ~ Get Your Hopes Up Quotes ~

I went over to "Get Your Hopes Up Quotes" today. Guess what? Most of the quotes said, "Don't get your hopes up!" How sad!

"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope." Romans 15:13

God wants us to live in an atmosphere of hope. We won't accomplish anything if we don't have hope that we can.

Today is a great day to get your hopes up!
