Find the Good

Find the good and the blessings will follow. … 

Have you ever noticed both in yourself and in others that when love is added to the task, effort, or deed it not only goes well but also brings a smile to those involved? 

Now it’s pretty apparent that we can’t do what we love all the time, every time, but we can bring our best efforts and attitudes. 

Some of the daily tasks I have are not the most enjoyable, but because they are required, I make the best of them. 

Over the years I have learned to look for the good in every situation and to see what I can bring to it, instead of seeing what I can take from it. 

This mindset has not only gotten me through the moment but also given me a new outlook and attitude on things. 

It works when you work it!.. 

Check your experience… 

“Do not think of what you will get out of the occasion. Think of what you can bring to it.” Big Book pg. 102 

Lord, let us use love and grace to not only be a part of the things we enjoy but also to help us through the rougher waters of our lives, AMEN. 

“In everything you do, put God first, and he will direct you and crown your efforts with success.” Proverbs 3:6 

Have a blessed day y’all!

What is Faith?

Have you ever thought about whether or not the light would come on before you turned the light switch on? 

Because I have the familiar experience of having successfully done it countless times before, I don’t even think about it,..

I just know it will work. 

Even when that 1 in a thousand times happens when the bulb is burnt out, I replace the bulb without thinking and the light comes on. 

That is faith. 

When I am staying in a new or unfamiliar place like a hotel or a friend’s home, I instinctively know that if I just find that light switch, the light will come on. 

That is faith. 

I cannot see the mechanics involved and I certainly have no electrical training or background in engineering, but because I have experience with the process, I trust it works and neither debate it, nor give it a second thought. 

That is faith. 

 OK, so this next part may not apply to you Spiritual giants… 

Now, why then do I want to debate with God over trivial things? 

Why do I expect the answer before I even begin a task that is new or unfamiliar? 

Where is my trust being placed? 

Where oh where is my faith? 

 Has He not brought me this far in life successfully through things I have had no control over? 

Why do I even think I need to discuss the new thing with Him? 

Where is my faith? 

Check your experience…… 

“The great fact is just this, and nothing less: That we have had deep and effective spiritual experiences which have revolutionized our whole attitude toward life, toward our fellows, and toward God's universe.” Big Book pg 25 

Lord, like the light switch, let us place our trust in You based on our experience with You, AMEN. 

“Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” Hebrews 11:1

It Ain't For Sale

 It ain't for sale... 

Just about anything we could possibly want or think we need is available instantly these days. 

From the basics of food, shelter, and clothing to instant fixes from pills, powders, and motivational mojo, we can get it instantly with our bank cards and money. 

Maybe it's different for you but I have learned the hard way that none of my flaws, defects, or shortcomings can be fixed instantly and from purchasing that latest thing they hawk on the TV.

My fears and pride are only managed through a daily reprieve contingent on my spiritual condition and growth. I know I cannot buy my grace from God. 

He does not offer it for sale but He gives it to us for free when we become willing. ....

Check your experience. ...

"What we really have is a daily reprieve contingent on the maintenance of our spiritual condition." Big Book pg 85. 

Jesus, we ask Your help and guidance today. Please let us give You our fears, wants, and worries and receive Your Grace, Guidance, and Mercy in return, AMEN.

"And when Simon saw that through the laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Spirit was given, he offered them money, saying, 'Give me this power also, that anyone on whom I lay hands may receive the Holy Spirit.'" Acts 8: 18-19 

Have a blessed day Y’all!
