THINK+++

Life is sooner found on the sides of a mountain then at the top; stop looking so longingly at the goal you hope to achieve and remember to enjoy today.

Do you have the right idea of what brings true happiness? So many think me, selfish, self-gratification; try looking in the opposite direction today.

Surely you have remembered the promises in the Bible today? I will never leave you or forsake you is a promise for you to hold on to.

Have you enjoyed the smells of summer today? Drink deep of the flowers, mowed grass, rain and much more.

So many times when I have a heavy heart and spirit I find joy in the enthusiasm of my 3-year-old girl. So many times she wants to be with me as I work or drive around looking at crops.

Thank You, Father, that I can learn and find peace beyond these earthly setbacks and enjoy Your riches and my friends and family.

I am so thankful that we have work on our farm that young children can do; they learn so many values through work.

Have you observed the majesty of God this week? Did a friend break through the bondage of sin? Was a family member saved harm in an accident? Did you notice the sunset He made? And how long did you ponder His glory and let it envelope you before you were tempted with negativity?

I am so glad our oldest daughter is so responsible and capable. She is a tremendous help in our house.

Today the earth has been illuminated by our Sovereign Lord.

In suffering there is total surrender. Seek surrender today to the things that you cannot change and find peace.

Even small waves make it to shore. Rather then focusing on how big you are, enjoy the movement of life.

When you know what you want reach out eagerly for it; and remember to include others in your enthusiasm.

Isn’t it better to dwell on the beautiful things in life rather then the negative?

There is an unpretentious place that sometimes holds more wisdom then the House of Parliment or the halls of academia; the family table. Listen to your family’s heart.
