{blessings}
Up in the Air?
When it’s time for a landing, take it slow and be precise. May God bless you and help you plant your feet firmly on solid ground where your journey continues, better than ever.
Open the Book
Don’t say God is silent when your bible is closed. May you be blessed to hear, see and study God’s Word daily.
The Good Family
If you didn’t come from a good family, make sure a good family comes from you. May God bless you to be a role model for your children and may your good character be a light for the generations to come.
Watch Your Mouth
Watch your mouth. More precisely…watch what comes out of it. In that split second before you start to speak, ask yourself these 3 questions: Is it positive? Is it true? Is it kind? May you be blessed to speak carefully, thoughtfully, and with Godly intentions. Get in the habit. It’s worth it.
Human Error
To error is human to forgive is divine. May the Divine bless your heart with the capacity to forgive, and may you be forgiven for mistakes intentional and not. May you always live in the spirit of forgiveness.
{prayers}
God Loves Me!
Dear God, Oh, how You love me! I feel it when I wake each morning, open my eyes and sense my own breathing. Oh, how You love me! I know every day that I have something to do and a purpose for my life. Oh, how You love me! I adore it with every tiny token of affection I give and get to those I greet. Praise to You, dear God, for the many ways You show how You love me!
Hide It
Dear Lord, Block every call with the intent to throw me off my game. Redirect any email or text that bears bad news. Hide the posts and videos that will disturb me. Just for today, help me live in peace. amen
Getting it Together
I’m all mixed up these days. I’m making hasty decisions causing lasting problems. I forget sometimes and other times I remember too much. Help me straighten out my messes, dear God. Help me get it together again.
Humility
Grant me humility. Help me get over myself, allow me to restrain bad behavior. Praise to You who humbles a proud soul like me.
Spring is Here
Dear God, Thank you for the change of seasons. As I leave behind a winter that wore out its welcome, I step into spring with a fresh heart, ready for nature to take its course. May this season bring joy and light, peace and prosperity, and a spirit in full bloom.
