Complement your loved one at least five time today.....

Complement your loved one at least five times today. 

Joyce Meyer says this could save your marriage.....
Get in agreement with God...
Think of someone you can be a blessing to
Try and give away something everyday.  BLESS those you meet.....

Get over yourself....

Confess the word out Loud..

 Prophecy  your future....  Say good things to yourself...

I am expecting something good to happen today....Can do  All things through Christ who strengthens me....


Notes from Joyce this morning... Psalm 5:3  

Psalm 5:3

New International Version (NIV)

  In the morning, LORD, you hear my voice;
   in the morning I lay my requests before you
   and wait expectantly.

Only in the UP

OK only in the UP could the road painter paint right over a dead racoon ....This was laying in the middle of the line this summer and some cars moved it down the line on the road. But you can still see the yellow paint going over the top... too funny ...but not for the animal...rip...

46  The Gift of Life is such a precious gift...we never know how long this earthly life will be so savor each and everyday and love and be a walking gift of helps

47 The Gift of Love that Unconditional love...That God hates the sin but loves the sinner...

48: The Gift of Kindness.  Lord there are so many kind wonderful people.  That outshine the bad

49 The Gift of the written word.  The Bible..its just the book for me... I admit no opening it enough.  It is on the nook...It comes from Max...but somehow that is just not the same.  The pages are worn but not worn out.  Our love letter from the Master...

50:  The gifts of sight.  What a wonderful gift to see your amazing paintbrush at work in the sky.  We witnessed this last night.

It was a wonderful day yesterday...  We are praying about getting a newer Rosie.  We heard from the seller and he may make us a deal we can live with..  We pray that the Lord will lead us and give us strong direction on which way to go..  We love Rosie and either way it will be a good thing.
We can not be disappointed  either way...

We went to the fall fest at church..  We visited with friends we have not seen in a while.  What a gift it is to live in a small community.  (Most of the time) :)

On to grand daughters birthday party.  She is growing up way to fast...  We pray that She would have a heart for Jesus and she would be protected from the evil in this world.  What a blessing she is...

  our sins will become as “white as snow.” our slates now been made completely clean. Our sheets are as white as snow. All of the stain from those past sins have now been completely washed away by the blood of Jesus. Here is the verse:

“Come now and let us reason together,” says the Lord,
“Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.”  (Isaiah 1:18)
