 Trying to fill that hole in our hearts… 

Have you ever noticed that in certain times of trial or stress, no matter how much thought, effort, and will you give it, it just doesn’t seem enough? 

Or perhaps you are struggling with that empty feeling and no matter what you attempt to do or use to overcome it, the hole remains. 

That hole is in our hearts and no amount of food, relationships, material things, booze, drugs, or any other man-made solution will fill it. 


That is Jesus knocking on the doors of your heart asking to come in. 

Perhaps you invited Him in long ago but, like the well-worn pair of shoes in the back part of the closet, you leave them there but no longer use them

When we have a daily relationship with Christ, much like our daily relationships with our loved ones, the hole in our hearts gets filled and we become complete... 

Check your experience… 

“There had been a humble willingness to have Him with me -- and He came.” Big Book pg 12 

Lord, let us look to You to fill the hole in our hearts, AMEN. 

“You have planted much but harvest little. You eat but are not satisfied. You drink but are still thirsty. You put on clothes but cannot keep warm. Your wages disappear as though you were putting them in pockets filled with holes!” Haggai 1: 4-6 

Have a blessed day Y’all!

Clear-headed… 

Most of us are busy these days trying to live life on life’s terms. 

From the jobs we have that provide the income that helps us to have homes to live in, food to eat, and things our families need, to the demands on our time to be available for our spouses, children, parents, friends, and family members; we are constantly busy. 

It’s probably different for you, but one thing I have to constantly watch myself on is to stay engaged and not be “asleep at the wheel”., and not just go through the motions without mentally being present. 

I have learned the hard way that when I fall into this trap, not only do I miss out on what is happening but also the activity in my head fails to match up with the present. 

I have learned to stay clear-headed by focusing on the here and now and being present. 

This keeps my thoughts on what I am currently doing and my head clear of all the other things it wants me to think about instead. 


How’s this working out for you?.. 

Check your experience… 

“Our thought-life will be placed on a much higher plane when our thinking is cleared of wrong motives.” Big Book pg. 86 

Lord, let us keep our minds and hearts clear so we can be present in the moment, AMEN. 

 “So be on your guard, not asleep like the others. Stay alert and be clearheaded.” 1 Thessalonians 5:6 

 Have a blessed day Y’all!

 Getting what we give…

Most of us do a pretty good job of surrounding ourselves with people who we can get along with pretty well. 

However, every now and then we are put into a situation with strangers who make us uncomfortable with their actions or we have an encounter with others whose behaviors may not match up with what we consider acceptable or normal. 

Now perhaps its different for you, but it’s in these times that my self-centered head likes to hold court and begin judging and condemning others because they are not doing or behaving the way I consider acceptable. 

You know what I mean. 

Like the guy who forgot to brush his teeth and you are trapped listening to him go on and on about something you could care less about while your mind tries to determine from his breath what his last meal was. Or the person who is making a mountain out of a mole hill over something that is obviously important to them, yet insignificant in your life. 

Judging others is never good because it warps our opinions and does not give our heart a chance to see why the Lord has put this person in our path. 

We don’t have to agree with everyone we encounter, but we do need to treat them like we want to be treated… 

Check your experience… 

“but we let God be the final judge.” Big Book pg 70 

Lord, open the eyes of my heart and let me seek to understand instead of looking to be understood, AMEN. 

“Since you judge others for doing these things, why do you think you can avoid God’s judgment when you do the same things? Don’t you see how wonderfully kind, tolerant, and patient God is with you?” Romans 2: 3-4 

Have a blessed day Y’all!!
