Sometimes we don't know how good we have it in life, until it's too late.  We are so blessed and it's really so many things to be thankful for in our lives.  We awaken to a new day everyday, we have people who love us and we're given a second chance to live.  God works in our lives so whatever we're going through, He's trying to make us stronger and wiser.  We shouldn't complain about things all the time but be appreciative of His many many blessings.  Amen

Decisions are sometimes difficult to make but when we know what's good, it makes it a little easier for us.  Life is really what we make of it and if we're not doing things to make our lives better, nothing is ever going to change.  Everything that we do has a good or bad intention behind it so we know what we do but I know sometimes situations are not that easy.  It's all about courage and taking that first step to heal.  Once we take the first step, we will begin to see the difference and our lives will become better.  That's very important because when we're not making changes from situations that are not working, our lives become stressful and we lose a lot of integrity within ourselves.  Let's think before we act because the decisions that we make either take us forward or backwards.  Amen 

Dear Lord, Thank You for today and everyday.  You are everything and we're so lucky to have You in our lives.  We love You, we thank You and it's so wonderful to have You in our lives.  Lord please continue to guide us in the right direction and help us to do whatever You want us to do.  Lord we all need You and even when we think we're strong, we are weak. Thank You Lord. Amen

We all have dreams/visions and it's important to follow what's on our hearts.  Life is short, God gave us gifts and He gives us the strength to walk the journey.  Nothing is impossible for Him so let's prioritize our lives so that we can identify our gifts to take us to where we want to be or where God wants us to be.  It's balancing life and still doing what we have to do through the storms, the trials and the mess.  We don't have time to give up nor do we have time to be stressed.  We need to focus more on being positive and not negative and use the negative energy to something good.  If we want to make something  to happen in life, we have to go the extra mile, sacrifice and not care what others think because like I said no one will make things happen for us but us and God. Let's learn not to get angry but keep our head up and be determined to bring our dreams to life.  The secret is doing something each day towards the goal, having a positive attitude, putting God first and walking in faith and most importantly when we feel like giving up, asking for strength.  Before you know it, we will have joy each day and God will guide us in the right direction. In Proverbs 16:20 it states He who plans a thing will be successful: happy is he who trusts in the Lord.  Amen

God is always with us each and every day so we should always have hope with whatever we're dealing with in life. We have to understand that God is working in our life so it's not going to be perfect or comfortable all the time.  We just have to take one day at a time and know that God is guiding us to where he wants us to be.  We have to remember that we don't  control everything but we can make our day by having faith, joy and knowing that whatever happens in life, God got our back.  Life is too short to be stressed and we have to make the best out of the day because we really don't know if tomorrow will come. Let's learn to appreciate each day so that we have some respect for God's grace and life in peace.   Amen

There are three important things in life that contribute to our happiness and our peace.  Loving God and putting Him first, loving yourself and accepting who you are and having a love for people.  If you think about it, this is so true because God said in John 15:5, I am the vine and you are the branches, whoever remains in Me and I in him will bear much fruit, because without Me you can do nothing.  In 1 Peter 1:3 God said Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who in His great mercy gave us a new birth to a living hope through the resurrection from the dead.  Finally, in Matthew 22:39 God said You shall love your neighbor as yourself.  In knowing all of this, how do we expect happiness, joy or anything to happen if we're not following and living according to these words. Let's think about what we're doing so we can be filled with love, joy and peace one day at a time on our journey.  Amen and I want to close with Philippians 4:6,7 Have no anxiety, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with Thanksgiving, make your requests known to God,  Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

Each day our actions are a reflection of who we are and what we do shows if we have integrity, respect or just value life and people. If we understand the significances or consequences of our actions, we would really think before we act.  God gave us a life to live and to be given that is such a gift so how can we not value that grace.  We don't know what tomorrow may bring or if we're going to be here another day so let's value each day because when it's all said and done we can't even justify anything or make a difference.  Let's learn to value each day because what we do give a positive or a negative vibe.  Let's learn to do good deeds because when we represent ourselves with class, we grow and in turn we help others but when we do the opposite we fail and don't progress. Let's think about that. Amen

Each day is definitely a new day but are we really valuing God's grace and making the best of it?  If we're not trying to make today better than yesterday than we're not doing what we're suppose to do.  What I mean is do we take life for granted?  Do we awaken in the morning and say Lord "Thank you"? Do we look at our neighbor and see the goodness and not so much the badness?  Do we really appreciate our Lord for giving us another chance?  All of this is what is so important in life.  If we're not focused on serving the Lord and treating people the way we want to be treated, it doesn't matter what we have or what we can do -  if we're not asking ourselves those questions, we're not headed in the right direction and we're losing the connection to the vine.  Let's wake up and do what's best so we can help ourselves, help others and most importantly, get closer to God and have peace on our journey. Also to grow and have joy in our hearts.  Amen

We all need some kind of healing with something and in order for us to heal anything we need to make a change.  Sometimes that means sacrificing, not being comfortable, making tough decisions or just having to deal with things or situations that we don't want to deal with but things just don't happen on their own.  If we have something going on in life that we know is not working, we have to change. We all have to take care of ourselves in order for things to get better. Sometimes we are too busy taking care of others but in reality we need to look at our own lives.  When we don't do what we're suppose to do, we don't grow within and we end up moving in the wrong direction. Let's take time out for ourselves and make things happen for us because if we're not on track, we can't help any one else.  That's the truth and it's definitely time for change.  Amen

Dear Lord, thank you so much for this day and everyday.  I say this all the time because I really am so thankful for Your love, Your grace and everything You do for so many every day.  You have taught us that each day is a new day and for real I pray that we all see your goodness and feel Your love.  God We Love You and even if we don't say it enough You know our hearts.  You are everything and I just have to say "Thank You".  Amen
