Monday Giveaway and Something Beautiful

Merry Monday! After 2 days of 100 degree temps, it's cold and rainy today! I don't mind:)Something beautiful from my daily calender:

 "Open yourself to the idea of a guilt-free you. This may be difficult. You've dragged around your past for so long that you can't imagine yourself without it. God can. He sees a revision of your script. Just because you were a villain in Act 1,  you needn't be one in Act 2. He makes all things new!"

         Max Lucado

Let the redeemed of the Lord say so! If you are a child of God, say so in the comments! We'll have a Hallelujah time! If you're not, or you don't feel free, I'd love to tell you about it, just email me at jodybooks@faithwriters.net. Flag Day and the Fourth of July are coming up soon. I'd like to give away these patriotic cards. I'll draw Wednesday morning using Random.org

Let's have church!

Just sayin'

      

I try not to ever be subject to "one of those days". You know, Pollyanna, make lemonade kind of gal... but....sometimes no matter what I do, I'm either tested or attacked, and then it's an opportunity to grow. Oh, man, yesterday! By the time I got home and got in the shower,  I was crying from exhaustion. Nothing serious. Just one stressful, frustrating thing after another. 

I kept slipping away to pray, kept declaring the Word of God, kept smiling. So do I consider yesterday a failure? 

Yes, and no. All day I kept my smile, tried to do my best at my job, and attempted to look at frustration through love colored glasses. But I barked at my husband when I finally got home. He was only trying to help me.  Even though I was not a happy camper, he kept trying to serve me. 


So, I still have a long way to go in growing up in Jesus. I am so grateful that He never fails me, and that His forgiveness is available every time I flub up.  The steadfast love of the Lord NEVER CEASES. His merices NEVER come to an end. They are NEW EVERY MORNING. Great is Thy faithfulness!!

How do you handle "one of those days"?
