When you go from one season to the next, you can’t spend your time worrying or thinking about the season you just left behind! Whether it was good or bad is irrelevant to the present season in your life. Remember seasons will always change! If you are going through a  bad season, the good season is right around the corner! (Sara Buchanan)

Salvation is a gift of love wrapped by God with a pretty bow on top filled with blessings, abundant life, eternity in heaven with God, joy and peace that passes all understanding. Will you receive the free gift this Christmas that Jesus paid for on the cross? (Sara Buchanan)

I can do ALL things through Christ Who strengthens me. Phillipians 4:13 has been my favorite verse for a number of years now. I quote it all the time, whether I am going to an important meeting or trying to hold a plank for longer than 45 seconds. (Ok, 30 seconds.) I realized this morning that I have to believe that verse for everything. I can believe that He can heal. I can profess that I am healed. I can walk on the path He Himself set before me to walk. I can speak positive things. I can smile when I don’t feel like it. I can answer in a Godly manner when someone asks how my day is going. I can be a light. I CAN. No matter what the world does or says, I (say it with me) I CAN do ALL things through Him. He heals, provides and does so much more in the everyday situations you face. (Sara Wylie)

If you travel through life and live it with love, honesty, and truthfulness, then when you get older and think back, you can enjoy it one more time! Choose to walk without regret or shame by the choices you make…let your life be one that you can enjoy while moving through it and then enjoy it one more time in your memories!

There’s a reason why Jesus tells us to choose love over hate! And yet, people from time to time fall into that trap and hate becomes an obsession. You see, we can’t hate without having an emotional attachment to the object of our hate. And while we waste time holding a grudge, life goes on as usual on the other end. So this year, let’s make up our mind to avoid hate at all cost. Jesus tells us to love. He knows it’s the way to living life to the fullest!

Psalms 107:29-32 “Then you called out to God in your desperate condition; he got you out in the nick of time. He quieted the wind down to a whisper, put a muzzle on all the big waves. And you were so glad when the storm died down and he led you safely back to harbor. So thank God for his marvelous love, for his miracle mercy to the children he loves. Lift high your praises when the people assemble, shout Hallelujah when the elders meet!” The Msg   If you are having a particularly hectic, crazy, bad day or week; find a quiet spot, close your eyes and just say this next part out loud a few times…. “He quieted the winds down to a whisper”, I bet you feel better!!   God has so much awesome, powerful, authority and all in love for his children!  Praise don’t panic!!    Debi Camp
