PRUNING

“I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful” (John 15:1-2, niv).

Seeing the GOOD

Are you a glass-half-full person, or do you live your life looking for the next tragedy to strike? It can be easy to dismiss the good we see in our lives because we’re too busy being on the lookout for the negative. God wants us to be obedient to him and sometimes his blessings are

Open to OUR Spiritual Power

Our spiritual power is enhanced with each blessing we give. And as our spiritual power is enhanced, life’s trials are fewer. Our struggle to accept situations, conditions, and other people, or our struggle to control them, lessens every day that we recognize and revere one another’s individualistic existence.

Change is never easy, but always necessary

“It only takes one person to change your life—YOU” – – Ruth Casey

It’s about the JOURNEY

You can expect the unexpected in your day to day life. Pleasure and pain both share in Our lives. We often forget that Our growth comes from challenges also referred to as problems.

“Life is made up of desires that seem big and vital one minute, and little and absurd the next. I guess we get what’s best for us in the end.” –Alice Caldwell Rice

Progress Not Perfection

It is not a Race

Today when I S-L-O-W down I am free and open to all the blessings that are meant just for me. Frantic and panic are old familiar friends. It’s time to kick them out from Our house.

EXPECTATION

Expectations are like girdles. We probably should have discarded them years ago.

Earthly Angels

Full attention to the person sent to me will offer me exactly what I need today. My inner guide has beckoned them. I can be alert, expect solutions, and celebrate the wonder of it all.

Problems

Problems give us the opportunity to learn something. If we don’t get the message the first time around, we get another chance, and another, and another. When we miss out on the learning each time the whack upside the head gets harder. Obstacles are gifts for learning. We never really know what we have learned
