Hebrews 13:5
Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, 'I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.'
'I hate Sheila,' Karen said. 'Ever since she lost weight, she's been impossible to be around. She thinks she's so special.' Unfortunately, Karen suffered from a common problem. Sheila hadn't changed. Karen just felt guilty whenever Sheila came around, because she wasn't able to lose weight like Sheila had. Instead of sharing in Sheila's victory, Karen fell victim to jealousy and a bad conscience. Karen needs to understand that Sheila's victory is not her defeat. God will work with each of us where we are. It takes a brave person to celebrate when others succeed where we have not.
Today's thought: I will rejoice at the example of others who have lost weight!
Good afternoon! Walked to and home from my meeting today. Ran errands on the way home. Had lunch when I got home. Will go for a walk and run errands in a few minutes. 😁🐇😷🎂
Isaiah 54:10
'For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed,' saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee.
There are times when we feel God has left us to struggle on our own. No matter how we pray, how we plead, it seems no help will come to us. The temptations mount, and our strength and will-power get weaker and weaker. This is where faith comes in. In those times we feel God is absent from us, we must believe that He is still there. God will never leave us, no matter how we may feel. He stays constant for His children. Nothing can move God from our hearts, and we need to know that. God will give us strength in time of need. He will not abandon us, ever.
Today's thought: I may lose weight, but I can't lose God.
Good afternoon! Had breakfast and lunch. Walked to and home from church. Ran errands on the way home. Put a load of laundry in the washer when I got home. Have dried half of it. Have the other half in the dryer. Will go for another walk and run more errands in a few minutes. 😁🐇😷🐰
Psalm 25:12
What man is he that feareth the Lord? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.
A group at the church decided to help one another lose weight. A friend of one of the members joined the weight-loss group, even though he wasn't a Christian. After four or five sessions, the young man left the group, saying, 'I thought we would help each other not eat. I didn't know you planned to pray and study the Bible. That junk won't help anyone.' As it turned out, the group was quite successful. The young man failed because he wouldn't entertain the idea that God could be any help. Those who believed in God trusted in Him, and they were rewarded.
Today's thought: God is my secret weapon for success!
Good afternoon! Nettnett, will be praying that the stint procedure goes very well. Had breakfast and lunch. Went for a walk and ran errands. Will go for another walk and run more errands in a few minutes. 😁🐰😷🐇
