3 Ways To Make Tomorrow Better

-
BIBLE READING: 1 Timothy 6:3 - 5 3 Some people may contradict our teaching, but these are the wholesome teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ. These teachings promote a godly life. 4 Anyone who teaches something different is arrogant and lacks understanding. Such a person has an unhealthy desire to quibble over the meaning of words. This stirs up arguments ending in jealousy, division, slander, and evil suspicions. 5 These people always cause trouble. Their minds are corrupt, and they have turned their backs on the truth. To them, a show of godliness is just a way to become wealthy.

What does this passage mean to you today? 

BLOG: Have you ever thought about your upcoming schedule and go, "Uhgggg!" Our lives are too busy, and our energy is too low. Our brains are in overdrive trying to make everything work, but our bodies are saying, "Nope, not today." Tomorrow is Sunday and the big temptation everyone faces is to skip church. What can you do to make tomorrow better? 

SAY IT OUTLOUD! "I am going to church tomorrow, and it's going to be a great day!" Keeping saying it until you believe it. Now I can hear someone yelling at me right now, "You can't fake it until you make it!" I am not asking you to lie to yourself. I am asking you to make your faith bigger than your temptation. Matthew 12:34 says that we speak from our heart. Line up your heart with God's will.

PREPARE FOR A GREAT DAY! For many people the weekend is one of the most undisciplined times of the week. Monday thru Friday we know where we have to be and at what time. We know what time we need to get to bed and what time to get up. Well, schedule you weekend to give you time with your family and with God. If you're tired, get some sleep. But if you want to have a great day, then plan for it. They don't happen by accident. 1 Corinthians 14:40 But all things should be done decently and in order. Line up your body with God's will.  

USE THE WORD "NO" a lot! Matthew 5:37 Let what you say be simply 'Yes' or 'No'; anything more than this comes from evil. Every time you say "Yes" to something, you are saying "No" to something else. If you say "No" to anything that would seperate you from spending time with Him, I guarentee that He will honor your decision. Line up your mind with God's will. 

Hebrews 10:25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.

 PRAY:  Dear Jesus,  tomorrow is going to be a great day to go to church.  Help me prepare and I will come expecting to meet with You.  AMEN

We Went For A Walk

Last Thursday, after realizing I forgot my wedding anniversary, I took my wife out for a walk that night.   It wasn’t just any walk, it is her favorite one.   Downtown, along the river, plus a couple of slices of our favorite pizza.   We talked about life after Covid, our daughter, marriage, and people we know and love.   It has been moments like these when I realize her resolve to be who God created her to be.   Moms need to know that.  I am saddened by our culture's ranting against mothers.  Today we hear how motherhood is a burden that you can take or leave.  Motherhood has never been a burden to Betty.  N-E-V-E-R  While it hasn’t been easy, the truth is, it has never nor will ever be easy for anyone.   Surveys in 2022 noted that moms feel overwhelmed. shorturl.at/auzH3   Covid, coupled with inflation and job instability is pouring gasoline on the fire.   What can you do? (Moms or Dads)  Prioritize and use the word “NO”.  Once you have determined that motherhoo

What A Day!

Today is Mothers Day.  On this day:  More people purchase fresh flowers and plants for Mother's Day than for any other holiday except Christmas/Hanukkah. In 2019, the National Retail Federation (NRF) estimates that US consumers will spend $25 billion celebrating Mother's Day. Shoppers will spend an average of $196.00 on Mom. According to the Insure.com 2018 Mother's Day Index, the various tasks moms perform at home would be worth $68,875 (up from $67,619 in 2017) a year in the professional world. https://www.cnn.com/2013/09/06/us/mothers-day-fast-facts/index.html Motherhood is God's idea, and He had a great idea!  He created Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and said in Genesis 1:28, "... And God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply... "   They had kids, their kids had kids, and the rest is history.  But where did Eve learn how to be a mom?  She didn't have one, remember?   I can only surmise, but I think these are good

Parenting Simplified (Well I tried to.)

Betty doesn’t like me blogging about her too much. So let me go with one more for now and let you see a bit of her heart.  She doesn’t like the world any better now than when she gave birth to Anneka. (Neither do I.)   If you think that’s a strange thing to say, you’re right. But let me explain myself.  The idea that a child will make your world a better place isn’t accurate. Stop shouting at the screen. Just keep reading.   Before we got pregnant, both of us had enough wisdom to understand what we were doing, in as much as we knew that this would change our lives.  Would it be for the better? That was the plan.  Would it enrich our lives? We hoped so.   But to think that a child would turn our world into a magical place of perfection and joy was never a thought.   If anything, the world worked against us from day one. (Still is.) There were challenges of all kinds and new hurdles to jump. Just about the time you thought you were out of the woods, BAM, here we go again.   Betty was and
