“F” Words!

**Work is one of them 4 letter words…**..

Work seems to be a heavy word.

There are things in life we must do that we don’t necessarily enjoy that require work.

From simple things like laundry to complex things like car maintenance (well… it’s very complex for me!) the work required may not be enjoyable but we know it’s needed.

***On the other hand, each of us possess talents and skills that we enjoy and because of our passions for them, it doesn’t feel like work.***

**What is your passion or talent that you gain enjoyment and satisfaction from doing?**

***These are just a part of the many gifts God has given us. …***

Check your experience….

***“It works, if we have the proper attitude and work at it.” Big Book pg 86***

*Lord let our hearts be reminded that while most work is necessary, we do have talents and gifts that bring us pleasure in some of our work, AMEN.*

***Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” Matthew 9:37-38***

Our Words Need to be Watched

Mark Farley July 3, 2022 1 Comment 0 Likes 302 Views

Guard your words and walk your talk…

Perhaps it’s different for you and I hope it is, but I spent many years reacting to emotions and allowing words fueled by fear, insecurity, and pride to escape from my mouth before sensibility, reason, and wisdom had a chance to respond.

My failure to control my words led to all sorts of situations where I had to amend, apologize, and suffer the consequences.

When I finally learned to respond rather than react, I found not only less stress and chaos in my life, but also learned that this is where the Holy Spirit in us can speak into our hearts and show us not only the words we should use but also the actions we need to back these words.

**Are you reacting or responding?..**

Check your experience…

***“Our behavior will convince them more than our words.” Big Book pg. 83***

*Lord, thank you for the reminder that while small, our tongue is mighty and we must watch our words, AMEN.*

“Indeed, we all make many mistakes. For if we could control our tongues, we would be perfect and could also control ourselves in every other way. We can make a large horse go wherever we want by means of a small bit in its mouth. And a small rudder makes a huge ship turn wherever the pilot chooses to go, even though the winds are strong. In the same way, the tongue is a small thing that makes grand speeches.” James 3: 2-5

Have a blessed day Y’all!

“F” Words!

**So where does fear come from?..**

Fear is one of those 4 letter words that cause discomfort and pain.

**It’s interesting to me to see the power this word has over our lives.**

Now perhaps it’s different for you, but my experience has shown me that when this 4 letter word enters into my thoughts, if left unchecked and unchallenged, it can cause all sorts of troubles for me and those around me.

Over the years I have learned that the best way for me to deal with fear is to track it to its source.

**More often than not that source is me and my attitudes, perceptions, and insecurities.**

***When I am able to see that the fear is not real but based on my own making, then I am able to give the fear to God in exchange for His grace, guidance, and love.***

**How are you handling your fears?..**

Check your experience…

***“We ask Him to remove our fear and direct our attention to what He would have us be.” Big Book pg 68***

*Lord, let us give you our fears in exchange for your guidance, grace, and love, AMEN.*

***“For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.” 2 Timothy 1:7***

Turning blessings into burdens

Ron P July 1, 2022 0 Likes 233 Views

One of the battles I struggle with quite often is taking the blessings that God has given me, and turning them into burdens! I tend to look at things in my life, and instead of being grateful, I am sometimes hateful! For me, it seems always easier to focus on the bad in something, instead of being grateful that I am blessed to have it. One area of that is in my marriage! I need to change my focus! It is a blessing, and not a burden! I have to change my perspective! I need to look at my wife through God’s eyes, and not mine!

A Few Fish and Some Bread

**Some loaves and a few fish…**

Sometimes when worldly needs and demands pile up we can begin to feel overwhelmed with responsibilities and requests that our minds have a hard time wrapping our heads around.

**When our heads do the math, it doesn’t always add up causing fear and anxiety.**

***Just remember, if it is God’s will, it will happen, perhaps not the way we imagine, but it will happen.***

**Just look at the 4000 Jesus fed with 7 loaves and few fish! …**

**“Our ideas did not work, but the God idea did.” Big Book pg. 52**

*Lord, let us bring our needs, wants, and desires to You in prayer and pray to WANT what we get and not to GET what we think we want! AMEN.*

**“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**

Have a blessed day Y’all!
