Applying and acting upon with daily perseverance. And this surely
has the potential to change lives, so long as one strives for harmony,
and this surely shall be a daily challenge that requires discipline.
'I will never get it all right, but I can attest to the truth that over the past
twenty-six years, I have learned the significance of earnestly striving to
live accordingly with Christ in my life and the Holy Spirit as a higher power
of profound significance, as long as I strive to let go, and let God.
'Be assured, this works when I work on it with faith.
Eight Gifts
That Don't Cost A Cent!
~THE GIFT OF LISTENING~ But, you must REALLY listen. No interrupting, no daydreaming, no planning your response. Just listening.
~THE GIFT OF AFFECTION~ Be generous with appropriate hugs, kisses, pats on the back and handholds. Let these small actions demonstrate the love you have for family and friends.
~THE GIFT OF LAUGHTER~ Clip cartoons. Share articles and funny stories. Your gift will say, "I love to laugh with you."
~THE GIFT OF A WRITTEN NOTE~ It can be a simple "Thanks for the help" note, or a full sonnet. A brief, handwritten note may be remembered for a lifetime, and may even change a life.
~THE GIFT OF A COMPLIMENT~ A simple and sincere, "You look great in red," "You did a super job," or "That was a wonderful meal", can make someone's day.
~THE GIFT OF A FAVOR~ Every day, go out of your way to do something kind.
~THE GIFT OF SOLITUDE~ There are times when we want nothing better than to be left alone. Be sensitive to those times and give the gift of solitude to others.
~THE GIFT OF A CHEERFUL DISPOSITION~ The easiest way to feel good is to extend a kind word to someone, really it's not that hard to say, "Hello" or "Thank You."
And Don't Forget ~~

Christian fellowship surely has evolved into a spectrum far from the standpoint
of "fellowship". Sharing God's love and wisdom surely cannot be accomplished
when distracted by those bent on the corruption of bending and twisting the "Divine readings."
The use of worldly intellectual language, apparently to appease one's own "worldly appetite," by the use of
sophisticated or specialized vocabulary and complex rhetoric, not for genuine communication
or the pursuit of truth, but as a tool for self-promotion, the appearance of superiority, and/or the
attainment of material or social gains. No more, no less.

"Love is our greatest asset in life" means that
deep, meaningful connections and the capacity to give and receive love provide unmatched fulfillment,
resilience, and purpose, far surpassing material wealth or knowledge, by creating a supportive foundation
for well-being, growth, and happiness. It's about building trust, empathy, and a sense of belonging. Creating
a bond that establishes an undeniable honesty and gratitude, respecting the differences of others.
-Honesty is about being truthful in both words and actions. At the same time, integrity is the consistent adherence to strong
moral and ethical principles, meaning you do the right thing even when no one is watching, making it a broader,
internal quality that encompasses honesty. Essentially, honesty is telling the truth, and integrity is living
your values, keeping promises with grounded ethics that show trustworthiness.
-Hope, having optimism of overcoming the adversities in life, is the internal energy to keep striving
in moving forward, find meaning, and take action, even during times of uncertainty when things are tough.
Hope gives the ability to strengthen one's willpower, making challenges attainable.
- Hebrews 1:3: Describes God upholding all things by the word of His power.
- Psalm 55:22: Encourages casting burdens on the Lord, who will sustain you and never let the righteous be shaken.
- Acts 17:28: Paul states, "in Him we live and move and have our being."

Amen indeed...! What good is it to gain the world, but lose one's soul? Guide us, God on the path you'll have us take, in Jesus' name, amen. Thank You Lord!
**"Rightly dividing the word of truth," from 2 Timothy 2:15, means
to accurately and honestly interpret and teach the Bible, handling it with care to reveal its true meaning,
not distorting it for personal agendas, and understanding its different parts (like law, prophecy, poetry) within their proper context, leading to sound doctrine and a clearer understanding of God's message. It's about "cutting a straight path" through Scripture, avoiding misapplication and understanding the intended message for different times and people, ultimately focusing on Jesus,
here in the now.
