Happy Friday

It is Friday and "I can never be more happier on Friday than any other day"... what in the world? Why do we feel so much better on Friday than any other day? Most of the time it is because many of us don't work weekends, but nonetheless, everyday is a gift from God. Everyday we are given should be appreciated b/c whether you know it or not, you are only here by his divine will, abundant grace and abundant mercy. If he didn't want you here, YOU WOULDN'T BE HERE! Think about that for a minute. Lets start with these things - if you left this earth today, are you certain where your final resting place will be? Have you done any kingdom work (told someone about Christ, gave witness of his works in your life, forgiven those who hurt your, are you a branch that can be cut off, or a vine that bears fruit etc...); have you lived life or is time passing you by, have you lived out any of your dreams, have your children grown up to be incredible gentlemen and virtuous women yet? Maybe you have elderly parents that depend on you each day to help with their affairs or does someone depend on you financially; or when was the last time you confessed and repented for your sins? Today is a gift from God. There is sooooo much to appreciate when God allows us to be here for another day. Don't take it for granted. You have another day to draw closer to Him, another day to work out your affairs with family, another day to see a sunset, another day to see your child or children smile, another day to encourage someone lost, another day to let your feet get wet on the beach, another day to sing your favorite song, watch your favorite movie, or give someone a reason to smile, another day to simply enjoy all the wonderful things God has blessed you with. I have decided to end each blog with a scripture. Each day I will pull one from my cards, today's - "I am with you and I will protect you wherever you go." (Genesis 28:15)

Smooches!
