What is today about for you? From what I can tell for most it's about food. The people you gather with today are they thankful to see you or too see your food? Only if you have been hungry and not knowing where your next meal will be, today is a very thankful day. Today be thankful for what the Lord has given you and today give to others in need. Don't rejoice with just your family and get full. Everyday one should be thankful and why just today? If you wait until today to get with family you don't see, it's very late in the year, why not just get together when you can. Remember if someone wants to see you they will make the time, Thursday is still a day the Lord has made. I would give if I had to give, but I am surly thankful as I am everyday. I rest and relax with my husband and I hope today you all enjoy your day. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. (Psalms 100:4 KJV)

What are your distraction(s)? Life are full of distractions, and the more technology grows, the more the distractions in our lives will grow. We have so many notifications popping up all day long, you do you know you can TURN OFF THOSE NOTIFICATIONS? But the internet/social media isn't just the problem with us today. We can be distracted by television also, by people and our own selves. ▪️We get into watching shows and can't talk or do anything else until the show is over. ▪️Others can distract us by keeping us from doing what we need to do. And there are people in our lives that try and keep us on track though but we never want to listen to them (reason.) ▪️We can easier distract ourself by our thoughts, moods, addictions, etc... Holding off what we know we need to do now. Make sure to set aside time in your day for just clearing your mind and maybe do that one thing you have been putting off. Most importantly make time for your God. "Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don’t lose faith." And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction. (1 Corinthians 7:35 KJV) Excuses, so many can be thought up so easily. I didn't realize it until someone pointed it out to me, reminded me that I had said no more excuses this year, I would stick to my goals. That person asked me in a very caring way, had I been still working out. And I answered truly, I hadn't been, not to the point I should. It made me think of all the reasons I made up in my head why I couldn't, and there the same amount or are far more, definitely more important reasons why I can and should. Number one reason is my health. Really, think, what excuses have you been telling yourself? The one everyone uses is "I will do it tomorrow." You have way more control than you may think to turn things around for you. You have to want change for yourself. I may not know you, but this message is for you and I want you to know you are not alone. Today try and break away from one of those excuses that are holding you back. I broke free today and pushed a little bit FUTHER. Life is what it is, it's what you make it. I think things happen for a reason(s). Now many may not believe in that theory because they may always be on the wrong end of that reason.
So many things have never went the way I've hoped or planned, guess I had to learn to change my thinking. But see you never quite understand why until it's lol over, even then sometimes you may tell yourself anything. Some situations are much more clearer than others. OPEN YOUR MIND. Verse of the day: For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not evil, to give you an expected end. Jeremiah 29:10 KJV |
