With God all things are possible

| We have to learn to enjoy life, set a goal of purposely enjoying everything we do. Enjoy this moment in my life and the task at hand. Try to do for God's glory what we commonly do out of routine, instead of just trying to just get it done.
Begin doing things for the love of God, and realize that through the Holy Spirit, you can enjoy absolutely everything you do. Joy doesn't come merely from being entertained, but from a decision to appreciate each moment that you are given as a rare and precious gift from God.
Please remember that any day you waste is one that you will never get back. Make sure that every day you live counts!
God has created all things for our enjoyment and it begins by enjoying Him. He also wants us to enjoy one another and He wants us to enjoy ourselves.
Its time we take breaks without feeling guilty or unspiritual. Your work will still be there when your return. I am not encouraging you to be irresponsible , but I do want you to take the appropriate steps to enjoy life in the midst of accomplishing great things. If you have been working hard and feel you need a day off, then take it. You will be more fruitful if you take time to be refreshed. We live in the midst of a driven society but we can change if we choose to. If you don't want to end up old with all kinds of regrets about things you wish you would have done, then get started today making every moment count.
Take a deep breath, slow down, and be determined to only do what you can do peacefully and enjoyably.
1 Corinthians 12:6 There are different kinds of working, but the same God works all of them in all men.
Our giftedness and convictions are a true measure of spiritual maturity only in our own minds never in Scripture.
Spiritual maturity is not found in having all gifts or defending all causes. It is found in accepting the diversity of God's people and working within it.
Such an amazing reality only comes to life in those who have the mind of Christ, those who are spiritually minded and filled with the Spirit of God.
A life of godly discipline is useful to God. Ha can accomplish much with it, because it can steward His vast resources appropriately. The uncontrollable life squanders God's treasures, spiritual and material, and invites attacks.
At all costs. let the Spirit empower you to learn self control. It is the key to managing all other fruitfulness.
Proverbs 25:28 Like a city whose walls are broken down is a man who lacks self control.
MAY YOU FEEL THE PRESENCE OF GOD IN ALL THINGS YOU DO FOR HIS GLORY.
BLESSED TUESDAY!
FOR IT IS WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.  
This message really touched my heart this morning, I want everything done yesterday, I wear myself out trying and stressing over things that didn't' get done. for myself and others. I fight myself trying to manage my time to be productive every day.
Monday, I did I cleaned house, top to bottom, wrapped Christmas gifts, turned horses out, watered ,fed, took mom and dad to lunch, filed receipts, hauled trash, made lists for rikki, I am going to VEGAS! my husband Tommy made the World Series Team Roping Finals, this will be the second time in 16 years that we have got to go somewhere together, He works electric company, team ropes, judges rodeos, on weekends, I take care of home, go help my parents, and barrel races.
It's hard for me to enjoy, relax without feeling guilty I leave someone out, or something. I realize in this mornings message I am not good to anyone if I don't take care of myself first. THANK YOU JESUS for sharing Your Word of wisdom so I can do things to bring glory and honor to You AMEN |
