“These things I remember.”
Psalms 42:4

GREAT TRUTHS ABOUT LIFE THAT CHILDREN HAVE LEARNED

1) No matter how hard you try, you can’t baptize cats.
2) When your Mom is mad at your Dad, don’t let her brush your hair!
3) If your sister hits you, don’t hit her back. They always catch the second person.
4) Never ask your 3-year old brother to hold a tomato.
5) You can’t trust dogs to watch your food.
6) Don’t sneeze when someone is cutting your hair.
7) Never hold a Dust-Buster and a cat at the same time.
8) You can’t hide a piece of broccoli in a glass of milk.
9) Don’t wear polka-dot underwear under white shorts.
10) The best place to be when you’re sad is Grandma’s lap.

GREAT TRUTHS ABOUT LIFE THAT ADULTS HAVE LEARNED:

1) Raising teenagers is like nailing Jell-O to a tree.
2) Wrinkles don’t hurt.
3) Families are like fudge … mostly sweet, with a few nuts.
4) Today’s mighty oak is just yesterday’s nut that held its ground.
5) Laughing is good exercise. It’s like jogging on the inside.
6) Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fiber, not the toy.
7) The Five-Word Weight Loss Diet … Eat Less and Exercise More.

GREAT TRUTHS ABOUT GROWING OLD

1) Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional.
2) Forget the health food. I need all the preservatives I can get.
3) When you fall down, you wonder what else you can do while you’re down there.
4) You’re getting old when you get the same sensation from a rocking chair that you once got from a roller coaster.
5) It’s frustrating when you know all the answers, but nobody bothers to ask you the questions.
6) Time may be a great healer, but it’s a lousy beautician.
7) Wisdom comes with age, but sometimes age comes alone.

THE FOUR STAGES OF LIFE:

1) You believe in Santa Claus.
2) You don’t believe in Santa Claus.
3) You are Santa Claus.
4) You look like Santa Claus.

POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER:

Dear God, I pray that I am
one with You in the health,
one with You in the hope,
one with You in expression of love,
one with You in abundance,
one with You in peace.
Thank You God!

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION:
Jesus Christ is raising me to His consciousness of unfailing faith, and I abide in him.

(Submitted with our great thanks.)

“There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear … “
1 John 4:18

The Knots Prayer

Dear God:
please untie the knots
that are in my mind,
my heart and my life.
Remove the have-nots
the can nots and the do nots
that I have in my mind.

Erase the will nots,
may nots,
might nots that may find
a home in my heart.

Release me from the could nots,
would nots and
should nots that obstruct my life.

And most of all,
Dear God,
I ask that You remove from my mind,
my heart and my life all of the ‘am nots’
that I have allowed to hold me back,
especially the thought
that I am not good enough.

Amen
(Author known to God)

SAND AND STONE

This story tells that two friends were walking through the desert. During some point of the journey they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one in the face. The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, wrote in the sand:

“TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE.”

They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a swim. The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but the friend saved him. After he recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone:

“TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE.”

The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him, “After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now, you write on a stone, why?”

The other friend replied: “When someone hurts us we should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But, when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it.”

LEARN TO WRITE YOUR HURTS IN THE SAND AND TO CARVE YOUR BENEFITS IN STONE.

POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER:
This Weekend spend at least 20 minutes in the silence of prayer thinking about God, it will renew your soul like sleep cannot.

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION:
God is directing me to the circumstances that will provide the best opportunities to claim that God-given good every day.

Positive Daily Inspiration – May 19, 2023 – QUICKENED AND HEALED

Positive Daily Inspiration - May 19, 2023
QUICKENED AND HEALED

Ben Franklin said, “Never leave till tomorrow that’s what you can do today.”
Many wait too long to start living – Let This Year Be Your Year!

“He who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.”
Galatians 6:8

Being healthy means being well both physically and mentally. Thinking creative, positive thoughts lays the groundwork necessary for maintaining health and for reclaiming health.

Below, I am going to share A Positive Christianity Prayer for Healing. Say this aloud repeatedly, until it fills your being with the realization of health. Keep your body strong and healthy with a balance of proper nutrition, regular exercise, plenty of rest, and positive life-affirming prayer.

Vitality to your health and total well-being is found through prayer. Prayer is the key that opens the door to mind and body renewal. As you enter into prayer – the quiet, peaceful realm where all things are possible – you feel tension leave your muscles and stressful thoughts lift from your mind. Peace and calm immediately fill the void left behind, and you feel renewed.

God is your health and strength of mind and body. You will be quickened, uplifted, healed, refreshed, and restored.

POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER:

In the name of Jesus Christ, I am quickened and healed. I decree that I am quickened and healed in mind and body. I remember that the same Spirit which performed miracles through Jesus is now mightily at work in me, healing me through and through. God’s healing misses nothing in me. I also remember that, “they were astonished at his teaching, for his word was with authority.”

I speak my word with power and in faith. In the name of Jesus Christ, I decree that I am quickened and healed NOW. My faith is quickened in the life that is the ever-present reality of my being. I am lifted out of all feelings and conditions of weakness and sickness. I am cleansed of all doubt and fear. My body receives this message of life and is transformed into a beautiful temple of wholeness and light. A feeling of comfort and ease fills my whole being.

A clear realization of wholeness is mine. I am quickened with the radiant life of God in this moment of time. God is my reassurance in all things. I am at peace. My life is a living expression of the love of God within me. God is in charge of my life. God heals and strengthens me now. I have faith in God’s healing power. Through faith, my mind and body are healed and perfected.

Life of God, I welcome you, every nerve, muscle, bone, and cell in my body welcomes you. I yield myself completely to the restorative power of God. I am strong in the Lord and in the power of God’s might. There is nothing to fear. The life of the Almighty fills me with new life, love, power and Divine strength. I am free from tension, stress or strain, relaxed in the knowledge that God is healing me now.

The life of God, so strong and sure, makes me well and keeps me pure. Eternal life is mine through Christ. All the cells of my body glow with health and vigor. My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in the power of Christ to make all things right.

God is my constant reassurance of lasting health. In Jesus Christ’s name I decree this for myself with the power of the spoken word.

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION:

In my body and mind I live in harmony and contribute to the great symphony of accord with Creation.

Positive Daily Inspiration – May 18, 2023 – God Is Your Anchor

Positive Daily Inspiration - May 18, 2023
God Is Your Anchor

“A new heart I will give you and the new spirit I will put within you.”
Ezekiel 36:26

Be still, be still, be still, my child.
Be still, my child, and know.
Be still, and know that I am God.
This is enough to know!

There is no place for doubt or fear,
Within the peaceful soul.
Be still, be still, be still my child.
Be still, my child, and KNOW!
Rose Elaine Lightburne

Many people put their hopes and dreams anchored in the whimsical area of chance.

How much better it is for humans to rely upon God. When we rely upon God it takes the power away from outer conditions.

To know God is to realize all. No longer are you rocked by the winds of circumstance, for you stand on a firm foundation that is spiritual. You are anchored to the immovable good of God.

At times, you may have felt as if you were being pulled into a sea of chaos around you. Then, you turn to God and discovered that you were supported in an atmosphere of Divine order, which kept you buoyant and afloat.

In the busy, noisy, atmosphere of life, you became still to rediscover God. In this atmosphere with God, you experienced rest. In a new awareness of God, you were calm. In this calm, came a spiritual knowing. You understood that there is always an answer to every dilemma, a way around every obstacle, and the source of order in every moment.

You now clearly realize God’s unconditional love. God’s love enfolds you and is constantly creating an environment of order for you to live in and live from.

God is your peace and your anchor in any turmoil. Because you know this, you listen for the sweet assurance that God is always giving you. You live in an orderly world that God has created.

What a comfort it is to know that you are anchored in God! As God’s creation you are anchored to great good that is created for you continuously. As you become still in prayer, it is awaiting your daily discovery and acceptance.

POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER:

Dear God, I consent to my life and my soul being anchored to You. I still myself in prayer, and I know.

I rest in Your Presence.

In Jesus Christ’s name … Amen

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION:
God’s Spirit of love, expressing itself through me, draws to me all that is needed to make me happy and my life complete.

Positive Daily Inspiration – 5.17.23 – TRY GOD

Positive Daily Inspiration - 5.17.23 - TRY GOD

“I am the way, and the truth, and the life.” John 14:6

Arthur Priebe, one of the great insurance salesmen, counseled his colleagues suffering from the common affliction of “doorknob phobia,” to hold the debate with themselves:

“Where am I?”
“In the hall.”
“Where do I want to be?”
“In that person’s office.”
“What will happen if I go inside?”
“The worst that could happen is I’d be thrown back into hall.”
“Well, that’s where I am now, so what have I got to lose?”

I often tell people to “try God.” I tell them that they have nothing to lose and everything to gain. People that have never tried prayer are very threatened by it, for some reason or another. Perhaps, it is a negative experience with a church. Any negative experience surrounding religion involves misguided people, but not God. God is always good, loving, and positive towards you and everyone.

You may wonder what the future will hold for you. It can’t help but be a time of growth and good for you, as you enter into it in a spirit of joy and enthusiasm.

God is with you and, therefore, your future is bright. You think of the path before you as bright with promise, bright with beauty, and bright with happiness and joy.

God is your guide; God is your light. You carry with you an inward light, the light of the Christ. When you do not know what to do or say in some situation, you will be shown, as you become still enough to listen in the silence of prayer. You will be aware of the loving, guiding presence of God. As you go about your daily routine, as you do the work that is yours to do, you will realize more, everyday, what you gain through a close personal relationship with God. You will agree to be led because you are guided by the ONE that always knows the best and the blessed way. You will be shown happy ways of accomplishing positive results.

You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. God is your way-shower and light on your path. You will walk in the light, work in the light, and live in the light of God.

Right now – try God.

______

POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER:

Dear God, no matter how reluctant I have been in the past I now agree to try You. So many times I have decided to go it alone, and failed; now I agree and consent to try You. So many times my relationships have faltered, now I agree to try You and Your ways. I have done it myself and I found that that doesn’t work, so today I try Your way. Thank You God for showing me the way.

Amen.

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION:

My life is an active part of God’s good world in which I am Divinely protected.

Positive Daily Inspiration – May 16, 2023 – Tuesday Prayer and Meditation

Tuesday Prayer and Meditation - May 16, 2023
Tuesday Prayer and Meditation

“And God said, Ask what I shall give thee. And Solomon said … Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart.”
1 Kings 3:5-9

As we begin our time of prayer and meditation, I ask you to simply be spiritually aware of yourself and your body. What is going on in your body now? What does it feel like? Be aware of your mind. What thoughts are walking, floating, racing through in your mind? Be aware of your soul.

Be aware, and recognize that right where you are, God is.

Right where you are, God help is available.

Allow yourself to feel the power of God.

Right where I am, God is – the allness of God is your help in every need.

You continue in an awareness of God, and you add to it the awareness of constant love, help, and reassurance. You notice a restful change that begins to take place when you take your thought. When you let thoughts of God become dominant and supreme in your consciousness, things begin to spiritually change – not outside of you in the outer world, but within you. Feel that happening in you now.

Rest in the silence of prayer …

Right where you are, God is.

Feel the power of this prayer as it goes deep within you. Right where you are, God is. You can feel the invitation of God calling you to be more completely, more deeply, aware, and alive in that Presence that goes beyond all human understanding and explanation.

Rest in the silence of prayer …

Right where I am, God is. Feel it, rest in the Presence of God.

Feel the invitation as it leads you into the silence, into that deep rich quiet there there is no longer any separation or obstacle between you and a complete awareness of God.

Rest in the silence of prayer …

Right where I am, God is. Focus this thought now; let it take you into the silence.

Rest in the silence of prayer …

Out of the silence, your awareness reaches to thoughts of people you love – people who are near and dear to you; people whom you would bless in this time of prayer. Hold with me the highest thought for anyone who comes to mind: Right where you are, God is …

Rest in the silence of prayer …

Watch your thought about that person or situation change. Feel the sense of peace that passes human understanding as we hold the thought: Right where you are, God is …

Rest in the silence of prayer …

Now, even as we begin to turn our thoughts back to this moment and the work that is ours to do this day, the awareness of God stays with us. We are, vibrantly and acutely, aware of God with every breath we take and every thought we think.

Right where we are, God is.

Thank You, God, for all Your gifts, but most especially, for the glorious gift of the awareness of Your presence.

Thank You, God!

In the name of Jesus Christ … Amen.

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION:
I have an open line to God; we are in constant communication.

Positive Daily Inspiration – May 15, 2023 – NEW CREATION

Positive Daily Inspiration - May 15, 2023
NEW CREATION

“We serve not under the old written code, but in the new life of the Spirit.”
Romans 7:6

Robert Frost said, “In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life. It goes on.”

You are not locked into yesterday unless you choose to be. God is a god of second chances and new beginnings. Freedom and discovery are avenues that are open to you when you acknowledge that you are a new creation in Christ. Following Jesus Christ you are aware of the Christ Spirit within you, supplying you with the resolution, wisdom, and enthusiasm you need to make any changes or alterations in your attitudes or habits.

The worst thing that anyone could ever do to you is to condemn you to always stay exactly the same. You can never stay the same, even if it may seem that you do. You are constantly being renewed whether you cooperate with the process, or not. When you do cooperate by being open to change and adjustments you will find that you enjoy being a new you. You are open to new adventures and learning. Life becomes exciting.

If you, or others, have found fault with things that you have done, you take heart, for you are changing and are a new creation in Christ. You are excited about life and filled with hope. You realize the truth of God that you can do better and be better as you give expression to the Christ presence. Jesus urges you to become a new human being.

Following God, you discover God’s grace as an active presence in every area of your life. Wherever you go, whatever you do, God’s grace is with you giving you the energy and courage for the change. God will uplift and sustain you along the avenue to the new you.

You are a beloved child of God. God plays an active part in everything you do. When you accept Divine life and God’s help in your daily living, you also accept Divine Grace into your life. You receive the guidance you need to take charge of your life and live up to your highest potential. If you should make a mistake, God shows you how to turn from the mistake into another path to your good.

Everything you do and receive will be a direct result of the activity of God in your life. You receive the keys to the kingdom of abundant living. You use these keys to leave the past behind and enter into a happier, more fulfilling life.

When you choose to become a new creation in Christ, God’s blessings upon blessings are heaped upon you.

POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER:

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
(The Serenity Prayer)

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION:
God’s love has set me free from all regret and self-condemnation. God has transformed my experiences of the past into understanding, soul growth, and peace of mind.

Positive Daily Inspiration (CLASSIC) – May 14, 2023 – MOTHER’S DAY

Positive Daily Inspiration (CLASSIC) - May 14, 2023
MOTHER'S DAY

“Owe no one anything, except to love one another.”
Romans 13:8

The Statue of Liberty in New York is beautiful. There is quite a story behind it. When the famous sculptor Bartholdi gave his time to create the Statue of Liberty, he also gave of his time to raise the $4 million needed to build the statue. People from all over France provided the money for the statue.

Of course, raising that kind of money, there were a lot of opinions of what the statue should look like. Many came to him and said, “Well, the statue should embrace the face of a super-hero and the arms of someone totally loving and a body that radiates freedom out to all the people coming in.” He had people say that the statue should depict figures of thought which are grand in themselves.

Bartholdi said his most difficult task was searching for a model for his statue. It took many years until he finally found her in his own kitchen. The Statue of Liberty is a model of his own mother. He said, “In her is everything that I want to convey to the people coming to a free land to live a new life.”

Wilfred Funk, the famous dictionary and encyclopedia publisher picked ten words that he said meant the most to people in this country. One of the ten words is ‘mother.’ “It is the most revered word of all,” he said. ‘Alone’ is the second word, the most tragic. ‘Forgotten’ is the saddest word. ‘Love’ is the most beautiful word. ‘Revenge’ is the cruelest word. ‘Friendship’ is the warmest word. ‘No’ is the coldest word. ‘Tranquility’ is the most peaceful of the ten words.

One of the most famous mothers in history was ‘Old Mother Goose’. That’s right. She was real. Her maiden name was Foster. She was born near Charlestown, Massachusetts in 1665. She married Isaac Goose who died years later, leaving her a widow with ten children.

With ten children she needed lots of stories to amuse them, (since in those days there was no television and no Playstations or Xbox). Later on, her son-in-law published the poetry and nursery rhymes she created and it made her famous.

A husband was once admiring his wife. He said, “My, I marvel at your patience! You have told that child the same thing twenty times!”

The mother looked fondly at the child and said, “Had I spoken the matter only nineteen times, I should have lost all my labor.”

Positive Prayer Blessing:

God bless every mother on their special day, we ask God to empower them so when they need superhuman ability to deal with their children, they will have it.

Amen.

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION:
God’s love always lights my way!

SATURDAY INSPIRATION

(Submitted with our great thanks)

“Rekindle the gift of God that is within you.”
2 Timothy 1:6

An emperor in the Far East was growing old and knew it was time to choose his successor. Instead of choosing one of his assistants or his children, he decided to do something different. He called young people in the kingdom together one day.

He said, “It is time for me to step down and choose the next emperor. I have decided to choose one of you.” The children were shocked, but the emperor continued.

“I am going to give each one of you a seed today – one very special seed. I want you to plant the seed, water it, and come back here one year from today with what you have grown from this one seed. I will then judge the plants that you bring, and the one I choose will be the next emperor.”

One boy, named Ling, was there that day and he, like the others, received a seed. He went home and excitedly, told his mother the story. She helped him get a pot and planting soil, and he planted the seed and watered it, carefully. Every day, he would water it and watch to see if it had grown.

After about three weeks, some of the other youths began to talk about their seeds and the plants that were beginning to grow. Ling kept checking his seed, but nothing ever grew. Three weeks, four weeks, five weeks went by.

Still nothing. By now, others were talking about their plants, but Ling didn’t have a plant and he felt like a failure. Six months went by–still nothing in Ling’s pot.

He just knew he had killed his seed. Everyone else had trees and tall plants, but he had nothing. Ling didn’t say anything to his friends, however. He just kept waiting for his seed to grow. A year finally went by and all the youths of the kingdom brought their plants to the emperor for inspection. Ling told his mother that he wasn’t going to take an empty pot. But his mother asked him to be honest about what happened. Ling felt sick to his stomach, but he knew his mother was right. He took his empty pot to the palace.

When Ling arrived, he was amazed at the variety of plants grown by the other youths. They were beautiful–in all shapes and sizes. Ling put his empty pot on the floor and many of the other children laughed at him. A few felt sorry for him and just said, “Hey, nice try.”

When the emperor arrived, he surveyed the room and greeted the young people. Ling just tried to hide in the back. “My, what great plants, trees, and flowers you have grown,” said the emperor. “Today, one of you will be appointed the next emperor!”

All of a sudden, the emperor spotted Ling at the back of the room with his empty pot. He ordered his guards to bring him to the front. Ling was terrified.

“The emperor knows I’m a failure! Maybe he will have me killed!”

When Ling got to the front, the Emperor asked his name.

“My name is Ling,” he replied.

All the kids were laughing and making fun of him. The emperor asked everyone to quiet down. He looked at Ling, and then announced to the crowd,

“Behold your new emperor! His name is Ling!”

Ling could not believe it. Ling could not even grow his seed. How could he be the new emperor?

Then the emperor said, “One year ago today, I gave everyone here a seed. I told you to take the seed, plant it, water it, and bring it back to me today. But I gave you all boiled seeds that would not grow. All of you, except Ling, have brought me trees and plants and flowers. When you found that the seed would not grow, you substituted another seed for the one I gave you. Ling was the only one with the courage and honesty to bring me a pot with my seed in it. Therefore, he is the one who will be the new emperor!”

If you plant honesty, you will reap trust.
If you plant goodness, you will reap friends.
If you plant humility, you will reap greatness.
If you plant perseverance, you will reap victory.
If you plant consideration, you will reap harmony.
If you plant hard work, you will reap success.
If you plant forgiveness, you will reap reconciliation.
If you plant openness, you will reap intimacy.
If you plant patience, you will reap improvements.
If you plant faith, you will reap miracles.
But if you plant dishonesty, you will reap distrust.
If you plant selfishness, you will reap loneliness.
If you plant pride, you will reap destruction.
If you plant envy, you will reap trouble.
If you plant laziness, you will reap stagnation.
If you plant bitterness, you will reap isolation.
If you plant greed, you will reap loss.
If you plant gossip, you will reap enemies.
If you plant worries, you will reap wrinkles.
If you plant mistakes, you will reap guilt.

So, be careful what you plant, now; it will determine what you will reap tomorrow. The seeds you now scatter will make life worse or better for you or for the ones who will come after you. Yes, someday, you will enjoy the fruits or you will pay for the choices you plant today.

Believe or not, it’s up to you.

Positive Daily Inspiration – May 12, 2023 – SEIZE GOD’S SUCCESS

Positive Daily Inspiration - May 12, 2023
SEIZE GOD'S SUCCESS

“For the son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his Angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.”
Matthew 16:27

Success comes at a price. Are you willing to pay the price?

The author of the popular cartoon comic strip “Ziggy” recognized this when he drew the following scene:

As our friend Ziggy, in his little automobile, drove down a road, he saw two signs. The first stated in bold letters, “The Road to Success.” Further down the road stood a second sign. It read, “Prepare to Stop for Tolls.”

People think that success is the opposite of failing, but that is not a complete picture. A runner may come in last, but if she beats her best record, she succeeds!

True success is becoming a better person than you were yesterday. Success can bring outer and inner good. Permanent success comes from faith in God.

Norman Vincent Peale once told the story, “Recently I dedicated a Chapel in a large industrial plant in Philadelphia. On the day of dedication, the exquisite Chapel was filled with a large gathering of the leaders of the city to honor the company’s founder, Michael Cardone. He and his wife overcame poverty to create the huge factory now employing many hundreds of persons.

These capable people had their day when the idea came to them to redo or reclaim old automobile parts and accessories, from windshield wipers to motors. Many persons would not have seen the astonishing extent to which this idea could be developed, and few would have undertaken it. But the Cardone’s had faith, they believed that God was guiding them. They seized the day and went with the idea of making new windshield wipers and new motors out of old ones. Today Cardone Industries, a complex of buildings with the chapel for the worship of God at the center, is one of the outstanding examples of the American system of free enterprise. And it is an example of two believing people who lived by the truth, “Today is yours, seize it.”

POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER:

This week I seize God’s success in my life. I ask for God’s direction and guidance. I place God at the center of my life. I walk ahead with hope and conviction in a positive future. I do not limit myself by my past failures. I ask God’s healing from the scars of troubled times. I pray for God’s motivation, and leading hand, to guide me in the direction of success. If I am on a road of failure, I consent in my free-will to new guidance and direction leading me to the permanent road of success. I begin today because I refuse to put my God-success off any longer. If I need to reinvent my life, I ask you God to reinvent my direction and reinvent me equipping me to travel the journey ahead of me so that I can seize my success NOW.

Dear God, I ask for Your guidance and direction in my life leading me to more than temporal success. I am fatigued by the roller coaster of the ups and downs, I now follow You. I ask for the path to permanent success.

In Jesus Christ’s name … Amen

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION:
With God’s help I seize success leading to permanent victories.

“I never dreamed about success. I worked for it.”
