ASSUME

It has been said that assume makes an a** out of you and me. The Breakdown: Well I contend that assume makes an a** out of you in front of me. Know the facts before you make a decision.

Boss vs Dictator

Just because you are in command does not mean you get to
demand. There is a difference in being a boss and being a dictator.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT:HUNGRY?

Never go hungry. Read your Bible daily. It's the best meal YOU could ever have. INDULGE DAILY

STAY POSITIVE

So many people are experiencing negativity in their lives. I just want you to take the time to count your blessings. Take a vacation from the negative things in your life and focus on the positive things in your life.What made me think of this? Here's the breakdown:

My dear Christian sister is dying of ovarian cancer. She is being so positive. She said the first day she found out about it, she called another Christian sister and cried. She said, "I'm over the tears. I'm just looking forward to the future."

Smiling, I said, "I'll see you in the new system. You will just be asleep for a little while."

She smiled and said, "I know you're right." We  both giggled. She has such strength and grace. I've learned a lot from her. She's  a good teacher. What a blessing it is to know her.

COMMUNICATION! IT'S THE ANSWER.

Communication is vital to all relationships. The perfect man Jesus Christ had to communicate with imperfect people.  God, The Creator, used and still uses imperfect man to communicate his message to the world. Communication is verbal (spoken words), nonverbal (facial expression, tone of voice, and body language), and listening. We have to listen to what the person is trying to say and not to our own feelings or to the noise going on in our heads. How well do you communicate?

BE HAPPY

HOW TO FIND TRUE HAPPINESS!!!!!

1. Find the true God. God is the source of happiness. (I Timothy 1:11)
2. Be positive. The Bible teaches whatever comes out of your mouth shows the true condition of your heart. (Luke 6:45)
3. Trust in God and his son Jesus Christ. They will do what is best for you. (John 14:1)
4. Be honest. Do NOT tell lies. Do NOT deceive yourself or others. Lies and deception originate with Satan. (John 8:44)
5. Cultivate the fruits of the Holy Spirit. (Galatians 5:22, 23) 
6. Read your Bible daily and meditate on what you have read. (Joshua 1:8, Psalms 1:1-3)
7. Do all that Jesus has commanded and teach others to do the same. (Matthew 28:19, 20)
8. Pray. (I Thessalonians 5:17)
9. Do NOT worry. You can't change anything by worrying. (Philippians 4:6)
10. Concentrate on positive things. (Philippians 4:8)

CRYING

There is nothing quite like a good cry. I'm talking about the kind of crying that makes your stomach hurt, eyes burn, and your nose so stuffy that you can't breathe. Crying is a way to purge sadness, anger, frustration, fear, and express happiness.

HAVING A BALANCED VIEW

It's important for all of us to maintain a balanced view of life. What's really important to me is my relationship with God. Nothing else comes close to the love that I have for God, His Son Jesus Christ, and His heavenly organization.

My personal Bible study has involved me researching, studying, and praying for faith, love, joy, peace, kindness, goodness, self-control, patience, discipline, understanding, knowledge, wisdom and  mildness.

The more I study. The more I pray. My reward is that God is allowing me to clearly see things. I am overjoyed. Surround yourselves with people who manifest the fruits of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:22, 23).

CATCHING FLIES

An old wives tale goes like this: "You catch more flies with honey." What I've noticed is that ants, wasp, and bees go for the honey. Flies go for the manure. I've amended the statement: You can catch all the flies with manure. Feel free to quote me!

THE WORD OF THE DAY

Kindness. #be kind it benefits everybody

TALK IS CHEAP

If you haven't taken the journey, you don't need to comment. You should listen and learn.

MISUNDERSTANDINGS

We can all make mistakes and misunderstand someone or something that was said. Sometimes it's not what was said, but how we interpret it. Make sure you understand something before you start something.

LIFE IS....

Life is  like an oyster. If we take those things that irritate us and turn them into our strengths, we will have a valuable and precious gift. 

HEAVENLY KING

I DON'T WORRY ABOUT EARTHLY POLITICS BECAUSE I HAVE A KING THAT CAN'T BE VOTED INTO OFFICE OR KICKED OUT OF IT. HIS TERM IS NEVER ENDING. HE IS THE SAME YESTERDAY, TODAY, AND FOREVER. HEBREWS 13:8  #JESUS CHRIST IS KING

TARGETS FOR CHRISTIANS

THE ONLY ENEMIES CHRISTIANS HAVE ARE THE DEVIL AND ALL HIS ASSOCIATES (INCLUDING DEMONS & HUMANS WHO DON'T SERVE GOD). HE TARGETS US ALL DAY LONG REVELATION 12:9, 10. I JOHN 5:14 TELLS US THAT WE HAVE A WEAPON AGAINST THE DEVIL. IT'S PRAYER. #PUT THE TARGET ON THE DEVIL'S BACK. #PRAY # READ YOUR BIBLE DAILY.

GOD'S CONVERSATION FOR YOU!

READ YOUR BIBLE. GOD IS TRYING TO TALK TO YOU. # LISTEN.

CONVERSATION WITH GOD

WHEN WE PRAY, WE ARE TALKING TO GOD. WHEN WE READ THE BIBLE, GOD IS TALKING TO US. #LISTEN

DON'T LIE!

TELLING HALF THE TRUTH IS LYING. IF PART OF THE STORY IS FALSE, THE WHOLE STORY IS FALSE. #STOP TELLING LIES ON ME # STOP TELLING LIES TO ME.

FEELING DOWN?

WHEN YOU ARE FEELING DOWN, LOOK UP! KNOW THAT GOD IS GREATER THAN ANY OF YOUR PROBLEMS.

TODAY IS ONE OF THOSE DAYS!

SORRY, I DON'T MEAN TO BE RUDE, BUT YOU REALLY HAVE A LOT TO SAY ABOUT NOTHING. ALL I CAN HEAR IS BLAH, BLAH, BLAH! #TALK IS CHEAP! #EMPTY PROMISES! #ACTION SPEAKS LOUDER AND MUCH MORE CLEARLY!
