It's How You Live

by Kay Heitsch

It's not what you do, but how you do it. It's not what you see, but how you see it. It's not how your life is, it's how you live it. ~ Quotes

It's interesting how people can go through the same life experience and react differently. People's motives for doing something may differ. Instead of looking for the good, they may see disaster around every corner. It's up to us how we choose to live our lives.

Our Bible verse today says, Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek His will in all you do, and He will show you which path to take. Proverbs 3:5-6 NLT

It's up to us how we choose to live our lives. We may not understand what's going on, but if we trust the Lord with all our hearts and seek His will, He will show us the path to take.

Loving Memories

by Kay Heitsch

Loving memories never die, as years roll on and days pass by. In our heart, a memory is kept, of ones we loved and will never forget.

Over the years our lives bring tears, smiles, and memories. The tears dry, the smiles may fade, but some of our best memories last forever.

Our Bible verse today says, Every time I think of you, I give thanks to my God. Philippians 1:3 NLT

I believe a lot of our loving memories are with people. When these memories come to our minds we can thank God every time we think of them.

The View From The Top

by Kay Heitsch

When everything feels like an uphill struggle; just think of the view from the top. ~ Quotes ~

We've all been through or are going through some uphill struggles. It's not easy to keep climbing when the going gets tough. But when we get a picture in our mind that something good can come of it our attitude can change.

Today's Bible verse will help us keep a positive picture in our minds when the going gets tough. "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

When everything feels like an uphill struggle, knowing that God causes everything to work together for good will help us think of the view from the top.

Benefits Of Worry

 by Kay Heitsch

"Here are all the benefits of worry. None, nothing, notta one." Quotes

We all know this is true, but most of us tend to worry anyway. There are no benefits, but there are some side effects of worry that are not good for us.

Today's Bible verse says, Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Philippians 4:6 NLT

Interesting the Bible text says not to worry about anything. The Lord knew there was none, nothing, notta one benefit of worry. We can relax, tell God what we need, and thank Him for what He has done.

Three Gatekeepers

by Kay Heitsch

The mouth should have three gatekeepers. Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary? ~ Quotes ~

If you're a talker like I am you may need more than three gatekeepers, but these three cover about everything.

Our Bible verses today say, Set a guard over my mouth, LORD; keep watch over the door of my lips. Psalm 141:3 NIV May the words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer. Psalm 19:14

Personally, I think what we say starts with the meditations of our heart. We no doubt have thought about it before we actually say it. We can ask the Lord to put a guard over our mouth so what we say will be true, kind and necessary.

Halfway There

by Kay Heitsch

Believe that you can and you're halfway there. ~ Quotes ~

Yesterday our whole family got new phones. We spent several hours at the phone store transferring the data from one phone to the other.

I was thrilled all my pictures transferred without me doing a thing. But that was not the case with all the apps. I'm in the process of downloading apps now. I'm halfway there!

I'll admit I get frustrated when my login says, "Incorrect password" and other apps don't upload my previous information. I'm finding I need to adapt and adjust better.

Our Bible verse today says, Dear brothers and sisters when troubles come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. James 1: 2-4

I have a long way to go with this verse. I hope I can consider it great joy when trouble comes my way today as I keep working on this new phone. My endurance is going to have a chance to grow, that's for sure. I'm going to persevere and believe that I can because I'm halfway there.

Complete The Picture

by Kay Heitsch

We are all pieces of the big puzzle. Just be the piece you are so you're doing your part to complete the picture. Big Game Quotes

Today is the big game between Michigan and Ohio State. Can you imagine if every player only wanted to play the part of the quarterback?  Everyone has their part to play.

Football is like life. It's not whether you get knocked down. It's whether you get back up and play your part.

Our Bible verse today says, "For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago." Ephesians 2:10 NLT

We are all God's masterpieces and we have our part to play to complete the picture.
