Each of us have our own great seasons of life. We also have seasons that take us to our knees. We each need someone to spur us on in life at times. We need to spur someone else on in life too.
Hebrews 10:24-25 (NIV)
And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, 25 not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
ONE MORE DAY ~
A sudden reminder that tomorrow is only hours away. Living in today is so important but also planning on tomorrow. We don't know what might happen next in our lives. We learn from experiences and we grow from change in our lives. Nobody is perfect and we must not be hard on ourselves. Somethings change without our control of it. Bringing us to a new normal and that's not always easy.
1 Thessalonians 5:11 (NIV)
Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.
ONE MORE DAY ~
I will renew my strength, I will sore like an eagle.
Isaiah 40:31 (NIV)
But those who hope in the Lord
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.
Through it all in life, I will encourage myself and others. I know that God changes things for purpose and give hopes to the weary. I know that I've seen miracles and I know that deep breathes are needed. We don't always count blessings of health, job, home, family, friends, church and the list goes on. We look around and see the things we don't have, while someone else wishes they had what we do have in life.
I don't want to be the kind of person who is defined as a job, position or leadership title. I want the be the kind of person who is known as a kind person and does her best daily to live the word of God, not just teach it. I write you from the middle of my heart daily and I truly care about the readers of this blog and those in my life.
I know that life isn't always easy, rough spots and seasons of dismay. But I also know that life can turn in a moments time and bring happiness in other ways too. Let me encourage you today to take a scripture of hope and press forward. It's not always good to look at yesterdays, but look at a bring new day filled with great opportunities in life. A fresh mindset upon God and ready to enjoy a new day given.
As our season is changing from Summer to Fall, many people are happy. Others are sad because they totally love summer. But we knew that winter will come, spring, summer and fall. We learn to deal with weather changes and life changes. We learn to look up to a God who continues to control it all and give thanks in many ways. Your example goes a lot further than you might realize right now.
God wants you to see your importance. My prayers continue for you, your family and friends.
