He Dropped His Blanket!

He dropped his blanket….. 

In the classic “Charlie Brown Christmas” cartoon / movie Linus comes on stage to recite the verses in Luke about the birth of Jesus. 

He does something VERY OUT OF CHARACTER for him… 

HE DROPS HIS BLANKET!!! (Google it!) 

As he states the words “Fear Not”, he lets his blanket drop to the floor. 

This is a great example of having a faith so big that it allows you to drop your security blanket and trust in the Lord. 

This is my question for us all today. 

What items, habits, or ideas that we hold as a security blanket to protect us from the world are we willing to drop in order to grow a stronger faith in Jesus? 

Is it our pride, fear, hatred, closed minded ideas or maybe even our concrete opinions of people, places and things?.. 

Check your experience… 

“When many hundreds of people are able to say that the consciousness of the Presence of God is today the most important fact of their lives, they present a powerful reason why one should have faith.” Big Book pg. 51 

Lord, let us trade in the things we hold as security blankets for the everlasting faith in You, AMEN. 

“The angel reassured them. “Fear Not” he said. “I bring you good news that will bring great joy to all people.” Luke 2:10 

Have a blessed day Y'all!

Attitude of the Mind

Change your mind… 

Have you ever noticed how much our minds tend to magnify the things that are fear driven? 

It's human nature for this to happen but it’s sad to see so many of us get caught up in the delusions that are created in our minds as we hold onto these thoughts and let them grow in size and strength. 

Especially this time of year when it seems like we need to spend money, we don't have to buy gifts for people who really don't need them! 

There is no need to become a prisoner of our fears. 

We can break free of fear’s hold on us by simply changing our minds. 

Try it next time you find yourself being held hostage by fear. 

Ask the Holy Spirit (prayer) to remove the fear and replace it with the thought of helping someone else. 

Give it a try! 

You can do it and as always……

Check your experience! … 

“At once, we commence to outgrow fear.” Big Book pg. 68 

Lord let us use our faith to replace the fear that tries to “divert our minds, AMEN. 

 “…be made new in the attitude of your minds;” Ephesians 4:23 

Have a blessed day Y'all!

Faith or Fear?

Fear or Faith...

How do you know if it's fear or faith that drives your thoughts and actions! 

Maybe it’s different for you but my experience has taught me that when I am in fear, my thoughts are based on self and my behaviors and actions are centered on avoiding, hiding, ignoring, blaming and or minimizing. 

When I am in faith, my thoughts are based on helping or serving others and my actions and behaviors are centered on service, helping, supporting, listening, and being transparent. 

When I am  in faith, I know the Lord is with me and I don’t need to analyze and overthink may part, I just need to be and do. 

 Are you in fear or faith?.. 

Check your experience…

“In this book you read again and again that faith did for us what we could not do for ourselves.” Big Book pg 70 

Lord, let our faith quiet our fears because we know You are with us no matter what, AMEN. 

“May he give you the power to accomplish all the good things your faith prompts you to do.” 2 Thessalonians 1:11
