Charity Begins at Home

Charity begins at home...

This is one of the best thought tools I have come to rely on over the years. 

The version I learned was phrased like this; 

"You can’t keep it unless you give it away." 

It's an action thought that has never failed me since I began my walk with Christ and in sobriety. 

Unless I am willing to help another, I am not in a true position to spiritually receive the gifts the Lord blesses me with. 

Now this doesn't mean we should give away everything we have, or start a crusade to end world homelessness, but ..

It does mean that each day we should open the eyes of our hearts to see how we can best be of service to someone around us...

 Lord, please open the eyes of our heart daily to see how we can best serve another, AMEN. 

 "…that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." James 1:27 

Have a blessed day Y’all!

Eye Checkup Time

Eye checkup time… 

It’s not about using our eyes to see, rather it’s about what we CHOOSE to look at and truly see. 

Think about it for a moment. 

It’s human nature that we like to look at things that are pleasing to the eye. 

However, it’s when our head lies to us to make us think something is pleasing to the eye when it’s dangerous to our heart and soul that our struggle begins. 

For instance, when I see all the desserts and sugary things my eye loves to gaze upon, my heart and soul suffer, and my body used to be the living example of this suffering. 

Y’all can come up with your own examples!

Lord let us use the eyes of our heart to help us see the things we need to see and not the illusions that can cause us harm, AMEN.

What Book Are You Reading?

What book are you reading from?!?... 

In today’s world we can get books in many forms. 

From the standard printed book form to Kindle, books are available to us in whatever media we choose. 

On top of that, we have books available on every subject and just about every situation that will tell us many ways to try to accomplish the thing we are working toward or trying to learn. 

Now maybe it’s different for you, but for me, my experience has taught me and continues to teach me that the Bible is the best source for learning how to live and handle the daily challenges we all face.

Lord, let us look to Your Word for guidance and when we need to learn how to handle people, places, and things, AMEN.
