{blessings}
Blessing on Your Home
A clean home is a blessing. If you’re fortunate to have help, or if it’s you who keeps things tidy, thank God and the worker who brings order to your home.
Love and Friendship
May God bless you with love and friendship.
Lifelong Learning
May you and yours be blessed with the gift of lifelong learning.
Go With the Flow
May you be blessed to go with the flow. Maybe now is the time to stop fighting it?
BIG Problems
Is your problem so large that the sheer size of it overwhelms you? Now is the time to let God help. Bite by bite. Diminished until it’s finished. May God bless you with an appetite to take on the challenge.
{prayers}
The Hands that Feed Us
Thank You for the laborers who work long, hard days to put food on my table. God bless them and keep them healthy, happy, and safe.
Whatever
Dear God, I am Your creation to be used and directed by You. Whatever You want, whenever You need me, wherever I am, I shall serve You.
School Children
As the children start a new school year, we thank You, dear God, for the gift of learning and growth. May they go boldly forth with confidence in themselves and their abilities. May their faith be strong, and may kindness be always upon them.
I Can Do It!
Dear God, make me better. Change my attitude, my mind, my approach, and my reactions. I strive to improve, and with You, I can do it! Thank You, for hope
and answered prayers.
Declaration of Belief
I believe the almighty God freely bestows good things in this world in proportion to a person’s readiness to receive. I am ready to receive it! I believe an individual who comes to the Divine storehouse with only a tiny pouch will receive only a tiny portion. I come with a bushel! When my cup runneth over I pour it all in a larger cup and drink it all until I am satiated! I take the bitter and the sweet, the joy and the sorrow, the gain and the loss. I am sure in my faith and I give praise to a generous God!
{bible affirmations}
Whatever you do, work at it wholeheartedly as though you were doing it for the Lord and not merely for people.
Colossians 3:23
I have no fear. The Lord is my light and my salvation, my strength and my life.
Psalm 27:1
I lavish unfailing love for a thousand generations on those who love and obey my commands.
Exodus 20:6
Faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.
Hebrews 11:1
By divine power, God has given me everything I need to live a godly life. I have received all of this by coming to know God in all His excellence and marvelous glory!
2 Peter 1:3

CELEBRATE! I love Labor Day! What other day do you get to celebrate work without actually doing any? NO WORK! On Labor Day, nobody works. This is a government idea, right? LABOR! Labor Day…OK, Just don’t ask me to “Push”. That’s one Labor Day I don’t want to revisit!
