Inspirational Thoughts

Tuesday’s Inspirational Journal

Good Morning Blessed Ones,
Break-Through is Possible!
When it comes to happiness, and how much we depend on others for our own, my grandmother says to stay mindful that, “A cow will give you a bucket of milk, then turn right around and kick it over.” (Savannah L. Davis 1910-). What a mystery, this thing called happiness. There’s no magic formula ~ no crystal ball ~ to tell you if, when, or why someone will try to steal your joy…they just do. One minute the very thought of them makes you smile ~ another minute their presence is like a bouquet of everything tailor made to rock your world! THEN…it happens! SUDDENLY…without warning…they become the “cow that gave you a bucket of milk ONLY to kick it over!” AND…you have no idea WHY? Shakespeare said it best, “What a piece of work is man!” CONSIDER THIS: WE… can’t control what others do. BUT…WE… are in CONTROL of what WE do. WE…are in CONTROL of the CHOICES WE make. WE…can CHOOSE NOT to be a “Bucket Kicker.” WE…can CHOOSE to be WHO WE are [in spite of what others do OR don't do] because of WHO WE are in CHRIST: GOD’S BELOVED! WE…can CHOOSE to be transcended [daily] by the RENEWING of the MIND [assured] WE are BLESSED ~ to the full ~ pressed down ~ and running over!

Remember, Life is What You Make It: One Choice, One Moment, One Day, One Word, One Prayer, At A Time! Seek God’s counsel in all things! Stay Focused AND Be prepared for Him to move SUDDENLY! “Faith perceives Truth sooner than Experience can.” (Kahlil Gibran: A Spiritual Treasury, p94). You are blessed to be a blessing! Stay Productive! “Activity is contagious!” (Emerson). Daily, ask the Lord to “Teach [you] to make the most of [your] time so that [you] grow in wisdom.” (Psalm 90:12). Never forget that You and Family matter. Like Steph says, “We’re not perfect, but we’re real, and all love each other very much!” Be safe and always thankful! God is doing a work in you, which will be revealed in due season! “Be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded.” (2 Chronicles 15:7). I believe the Spirit of God resides within each of us! What do you believe in…Against the odds…in spite of and not because of? TTYS!

PUSH: PRAY UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS!
“We are saved by hope [in God].” (Romans 8:24).

“Your life is reflective of the actions you take~based on the choices you make~ based on what you know or don’t know about God and His Word.”

    I like the messages, Leggs. It was a great pleasure to converse with you today (9-21-09) at Scott’s.

    You mentioned that it had been a while since you updated your messages. I hope you do soon. I find the thoughts quite helpful, and insightful.

    Thanks, Dusty. It was my pleasure…time never went by so fast (smile).

    Guess I’ll have to get to work on those updates. Meanwhile, I’ll let your music keep me smiling.

    God bless and stay safe.
