When did I lose my smile

Have you ever gone through old family pictures and snap shots and send pictures of yourself when you're always smiling and then stop to think my other pictures on my stats when did I lose my smile

Persuasion

http://bible.com/111/pro.16.23.niv The hearts of the wise make their mouths prudent, and their lips promote instruction. Bible.com/app

Lord, I desire to have a heart that longs after you.  Please give me your wisdom when it comes to dealing with, everything.  Craig, miranda, deven, danny, clarissa, kyle, littles, parents, brothers and sisters. Friends, coworkers, kids and their parents.   Lord, thank you for Sharon.  Fill her with your peace that passes understanding.   Fill John with your peace.  Let him understand that he is in your hands.   Thank you for craig.  Show me how to love him

Prayer, day 1

http://bible.com/111/eph.3.14-21.niv For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name.

Lord, every family includes my family. Those that know you and those that do not know you. Lord, I thank you for my family.  I thank you that you have given us a name
  That you started us in heaven and will return us to heaven.  Father thank you for sharon. Thank you for drawing her to you. Please strengthen her in her heart.  Thank you for Miranda and deven
Lord, please release what binds them. The sin that so easily entangled us.  Lord Jesus, I don't even know how to pray for them.  

I will pray this for them....

I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you (miranda and deven) with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your (Miranda and Devens ) hearts through faith. And I pray that you, (they) being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and (they would know) to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you(Miranda and deven would be) may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. Bible.com/app

Heartbroken, but God loves us still

http://bible.com/r/MC.6 I just finished day 6 of the @YouVersion Plan Real-Life Devotions by Lysa TerKeurst. Check it out here:

Happy file

We need to remember to take time and create a happy file.  So when things go south, we have a place to return to get our thoughts straight and Satan out of our mind.

Monks Marraige

That’s why I want a “monk’s marriage,” the benefits of being married to a godly woman, but with a monk’s attitude, expecting nothing, depending on God, and so being genuinely grateful for whatever my spouse chooses to bless me with. (Breathe spiritual passion into your marraige) 

What an amazing concept.  To have a thankful heart in all things. 

Forgive me father for not being Thankful in all things.  Create in me a thankful heart.

Psalm 95:1-7 NIV

Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord ; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song. For the Lord is the great God, the great King above all gods. In his hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to him. The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land. Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker; for he is our God and we are the people of his pasture, the flock under his care. Today, if only you would hear his voice,

Building character

Deuteronomy 5:32-33 NIV

So be careful to do what the Lord your God has commanded you; do not turn aside to the right or to the left. Walk in obedience to all that the Lord your God has commanded you, so that you may live and prosper and prolong your days in the land that you will possess.

One thing I would like to explore is why do all of the great leaders of the bible tend to screw up in the process? 

Choose Life

John 10:10 NIV

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

Choose Life!

We will never enjoy life unless we make a quality decision to do so. Satan is an expert at stealing and our joy is one of his favorite targets. Nehemiah 8:10 tells us that the joy of the Lord is our strength. In John 10:10 we are told that "the thief" comes to kill, steal, and destroy, but that Jesus came that we might have and enjoy life. Satan is the thief, and one of the things he seeks to steal is our joy. If he can steal our joy from us, we will be weak; and when we are weak, the enemy takes advantage of us.

Weak believers are no threat to him and his work of destruction. In order to live as God intends for us to live, the first thing we must do is truly believe that it is God's will for us to experience continual joy. Then we must decide to enter into that joy. Experiencing enjoyment in our souls is vitally important to our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. Proverbs 17:22 says, "A happy heart is good medicine and a cheerful mind works healing, but a broken spirit dries up the bones." It is God's will for us to enjoy life! Now it is time to decide to enter into the full and abundant life that God wills for us.

Joy and enjoyment are available just as misery is available. Righteousness and peace are available and so are condemnation and turmoil. There are blessings and curses available, and that is why Deuteronomy 30:19 tells us to choose life and blessings.

This is such a good devotional. Lord Jesus thank you for coming that we may have life. Lord I lift up deven to you. Father, I am so torn.  I love him but I want him to return to you.  I also lift Danny up to you.  Draw them both to you.  Call them Lord.  Fill them with your peace and presence.  Forgive them of their sins.
