{blessings}
No Waste
No effort is ever wasted, every effort is of value. May you be blessed to give your very best under any circumstance, in every situation. There is no such thing as waste in God’s world.
Oopsie Moment
It’s an “oopsie” moment. We all have ’em. You made a mistake and you can’t take it back. Not to worry. Mistakes are an important part of the learning process. May you be blessed to try new things without worry of failure. Something good always comes out of the missteps you take.
Conquer Worry
Worrying means you suffer twice. Cut yourself a break – once is more than enough. May you be blessed to stop worrying and start living worry-free. Conquer worry by keeping busy, staying upbeat and giving it up to God.
Listen Fully
Be honest. You’re guilty of it. They are talking to you and you’re no longer listening to understand; you’re listening to reply. May you be blessed to be a worthy partner in conversation who pays attention to the words and their meaning, with a compassionate heart, and an open mind.
Enjoy Each Moment
The days go by and you hardly notice…until they’re gone. May you be blessed to enjoy each moment as you live it, acknowledging the time God gives you and being grateful for it.
Prepare Yourself
The meeting of preparation with opportunity generates the offspring called luck. Be prepared for blessings of luck and good fortune, all the while knowing that you worked for it. Plan ahead, God appreciates your help.

I am There (image) I am There (full text)
Do you need Me? I am there. You cannot see Me, yet I am the light you see by. You cannot hear Me, yet I speak through your voice. You cannot feel Me, yet I am the power at work in your hands. I am at work, though you do not understand My ways. I am at work, though you do not recognize My works.
After the Sadness
Dear God, After the sadness I didn’t think I could ever be the same again. I was right. I now have qualities I never had before. I am more sensitive to the sorrows of others. I am more compassionate to the less fortunate. I appreciate more deeply. And, I love more intensely. Thank You for giving me the wisdom that comes from life experiences. Amen
Guide My Ways
Lord, Be with me today as I attempt to do things bigger than myself. Inspire me in my thinking and guide my ways. I pray that my life makes a positive difference in the lives of others. I pray that I can have spiritual courage and energy to live a large life. I am willing to become more
than myself, by letting You work through me.
For My Son
God. Give my precious son the will to come to You with his problems. To think clearly and make good decisions. To avoid temptation. To be strong and brave when facing challenge. To stay with it when he feels like giving up. To be practical, yet dream big. Be with him dear Lord and keep him on the straight path of good behavior that leads to his success and satisfaction. Amen

1 When David was an old man, he appointed his son Solomon to be king over Israel. 2 David summoned all the leaders of Israel, together with the priests and Levites. 3 All the Levites who were thirty years old or older were counted, and the total came to 38,000. 4 Then David said, “From all the Levites, 24,000 will supervise the work at the Temple of the Lord. Another 6,000 will serve as officials and judges. 5 Another 4,000 will work as gatekeepers, and 4,000 will praise the Lord with the musical instruments I have made.” 6 Then David divided the Levites into divisions named after the clans descended from the three sons of Levi—Gershon, Kohath, and Merari…
