Reminder

Mama and Daddy

My brother and I

I truly can say I have never desired a lot of material things in life and have found myself to be content with less, than more. God has always been my provider,he supplies my needs and sometimes my wants. For that, I am so grateful to him !

"Good friend's are always together in spirit"-Anne Shirley

Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and work with your hands as I have instructed you. 1Thess 4:11

Thus says the Lord:stand by the roads,and look and ask for the ancient paths,where the good way is;and walk in it,and find rest for your souls.
Jeremiah 6:16

~Tasha Tudor website~

Serenity Prayer

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can;and wisdom to know the difference.Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time;Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it;Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will;That I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him Forever in the next.
Amen.
--Reinhold Niebuhr

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all,Amen.

Philippians 4:23

~My Resolve~

In the mist of my trial God's grace is sufficient...carrying me onward to higher ground...
Having no understanding of others actions,I am leaning toward God's understanding ways...
Waiting for the Holy Spirit to guide me on to whatever may lie before me in my path.
Seeking more Godly knowledge and wisdom to usher me into his Holy presence.
Praying without ceasing. Dressing myself in his armor as I face each new days battle!
Looking for his appearing which shall bring an end to all confusion in my mind.
Through life's storm there is peace,such a surreal contentment in knowing his eye is always beholding my face and his love will carry me through.............
Though my God slays me,yet I'll trust him........coming forth as pure gold!

By ME

So then those who are living the life of the flesh [catering to the appetites and impulses of their carnal nature] cannot please or satisfy God, or be acceptable to Him. But you are not living the life of the flesh, you are living the life of the Spirit, if the [Holy] Spirit of God [really] dwells within you [directs and controls you]. —Romans 8:8-9

Godliness with contentment is great gain.

I Timothy 6:6
