Life Is Like Ice Cream

by Kay Heitsch

Life is like ice cream; enjoy it before it melts. ~ Enjoy Life Quotes ~

So many times people think they will enjoy life when...the list is endless. Today is the day to enjoy our life!

Today's Bible verse has always been one of my favorites."The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly." John 10:10 ESV

Why do people let the enjoyment of their days be stolen when Jesus came that we may have life and have it abundantly

When we see ice cream from now on I hope we'll think about enjoying our life more. Life is like ice cream; enjoy it before it melts.

V or V

by Kay Heitsch

It's our reaction to adversity not the adversity itself that determines how we'll live our life. The choice is ours whether we are a victim or a victor. ~ Victim or Victor Your Choice Quotes ~

I truly believe if we know who we are we can be a victor in life. Our Bible verse tells us who we are, "For you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus." Galatians 3:26 NLT

Wow, to know that we are children of God is awesome! Most of us know that every test in life makes us bitter or better. Problems can make us or break us the choice is ours.

When we really know who we are, 'children of God',  we can choose not to be a victim, but to be a victor in life.

Change

by Kay Heitsch

"If nothing ever changed there would be no butterflies." ~Change Quotes ~

Like everyone else I've had to adapt and adjust to change a lot in my life. Sometimes it's easier than others. It time to turn in my RED leased car I've been blessed to drive for 3 years. I know I need to adapt and adjust once again. It's odd how we can get attached to something like a car.

Our Bible verse says, "For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven." Ecclesiastes 3:1 NLT

There is a season and a time for every activity, even turning in the RED car I've been blessed to drive. 

Beauty Begins

by Kay Heitsch

"Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself." ~ Coco Chanel ~

I like being around people who are comfortable about being who they are. They aren't trying to impress anyone or trying to be someone they aren't.

Our Bible verse today says, Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous--how well I know it. Psalm 139:14 NLT

When we know that an original is worth more than any copy we can thank God we are unique. We can be ourselves and know that beauty begins the moment we decide to be ourselves.

Inner Peace

by Kay Heitsch

"Inner peace begins the moment you choose not to allow another person or event to control your emotions." ~Stay In Peace Quotes ~ 

Staying in peace no matter what is going on around us is a place of power. We give up our power when we allow people and circumstances to steal our peace. The Bible says, Blessed are the peacemakers. You bet we're blessed when we keep our peace.

Today's Bible verse in the AMPC tells us we have peace and how to keep it, no matter what's going on. "Peace I leave with you; My [own] peace I now give and bequeath to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. [Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed; and do not permit yourselves to be fearful and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled.]" John 14:27 AMPC

If we want to live in peace we need to activate the peace we have and stop allowing ourselves to be agitated, disturbed, fearful, intimidated, cowardly and unsettled. Wow, what a way to live!

Inner peace begins the moment we choose not to allow another person or event to control our emotions. We can do this when we put John 14:27 into practice.

Love Believes The Best

by Kay Heitsch

When we choose to believe the best of every person we are happier. "Love.. is ever ready to believe the best of every person." 1 Corinthians 13:7

If we really want to be happy one way to do it is to choose to believe the best of every person. Hurting people hurt people. If someone hurts us we can think, "I don't believe they really meant to do that. Maybe they are having a bad day or aren't feeling well."

Choosing to believe the best saves us a lot of pain. It's poison to us to to keep hateful feelings inside. We can drop it, leave it, let it go and choose to walk in love and believe the best.

Do What's Right

 by Kay Heitsch

"Doing the right thing gives you a satisfaction that nothing else can give." ~ Satisfaction In Doing The Right Thing Quotes ~

The time is always right to do what's right. It may not always be easy, but it's always right.

Our Bible verse today says, "So let's not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don't give up." Galatians 6:9 NLT

I believe we reap a feeling of satisfaction right away when we do what's right. We will also reap a harvest of blessings at the right time if we don't give up.
