Be Strong in the Lord by Toni Star

-
Be strong in the Lord! I often see these words as on the picture below and every time I feel
encouraged to do just that; however, like many, I feel weak. Weakness, for me and for many, often comes when I am tired, stretched out and overdoing. Those times I feel weak. But, that is the time when I need to "be strong in the Lord."

Do you often feel this way, too? If you do, don't be discouraged. Run to the Lord, your Father, and He will give you rest and peace. He loves us so much that He will provide the rest, the comfort we need. Why does He do this? He does this because of His great love for you and me.

Never give up! Winston Churchill, during WW II was famous for these words but those same words can apply to anyone who feels like giving up. Our Father in Heaven knows that it is rough her on earth and just when you think you can't handle things anymore, that is when He will help you. Actually, He will be there long before you can't handle things anymore.

We just need to remember and be aware that our Heavenly Father is "always" there for us! So, keep the below picture in mind and know that you "can" make it and you will "overcome" any situation. Why? Because of our Father's great love for you and me. Be strong in the Lord!

    Excellent article. We should always be "strong in the Lord" no matter the situation for we will have the Lord by our side.

Words from Ralph Waldo Emerson and me

-
Image
The below words on a New Day come from Ralph Waldo Emerson. Each morning, as you wake up, you make a choice of what kind of day you will have. You may not do this consciously but you do make a choice. When you think about the word "choice" it should bring to mind that you, and only you, have the opportunity to make each new day happy and productive or  sad and empty. To make each day positive and good, begin it by saying, "Dear Lord, thank you for this day. Help me to make it the best day of the year! I may not be feeling the best today but with your help, I will do my upmost for you and I thank you for everything you do for me." Read the below words from Ralph Waldo Emerson, keep them in your heart each morning and enjoy the day! And remember, God is always with you--at the beginning of each day and at the end of each day! THIS NEW DAY Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year. He is rich who owns the day, and no on...

Enjoy Christmas this year; put aside the virus

 This Christmas season and the Christmas season last year--2020, have been challenging, for sure!  The virus has taken away many freedoms we have held dearly and maybe have taken for granted. But,   you and I don't have to stay hostage to this virus or any virus. We can still be happy and enjoy the   season. Sure, many of us are unable to be with family and friends and that hurts; that hurts a lot.  But, when you think about the real meaning of Christmas and why so many of us celebrate it, we   can still be happy and positive and enjoy the happiness of the season.   Christians celebrate Christmas because that is when Christ was born. If Christ was never born, if   Christ never lived on this earth and was crucified, died and rose from the dead, there would be no   Christmas, there would be no laughter, hope or anything uplifting about the season we call Christmas.  Many are suffering this time of the year fro...

Thanksgiving at Grandma's by Toni Star

Thanksgiving at Grandma’s by Toni Star November, then and now, signals just one thing to me, Thanksgiving at Grandma’s.  Thanksgiving at her house was paradise!  The atmosphere of food, laughter and love was wonderful and unforgettable.  Thanksgiving morning at our house was busy.  Mom would prepare a salad or pie; we kids would dress up in our good clothes and then go outside to play. We had to be careful not to get dirty.  Good clothes in our family didn’t come easy.  We weren’t poor but we were very frugal with money and food.  Meanwhile, Dad stayed busy in the garage checking out the old Chevy.  He’d check the oil, water and the battery and then give the tires a kick, for readiness.  Often, I would go into the garage from time to time to see how he was doing.  Often, he found things for me to do-such as checking the oil and water and inspecting the car battery to see if was clean and water filled to the proper level. I alw...
