Moving Day

I have a Yahoo group - Linda's Little Village. Since I can now archive my messages there I have set it up so only I can post and it is open to everyone. From now on I will post all my crafts, recipes, inspirational & Christian items, jokes and other silliness there and dropping most of my blogs.

Check it out at:

I will leave this up for awhile until I get everything moved to the group.

Thanks for looking,

I ask the Lord to bless you,
as I pray for you today,
to guide you and protect you,
as you go along your way.
God's love is always with you,
God's promises are true.
And when you give God all your cares,
you know God will see you through.

Daily Rules From God

1. Wake Up!! Decide to have a good day. "Today is the day the Lord hath made; let us rejoice and be glad in it."
Psalms 118:24

2. Dress Up!!

The best way to dress up is to put on a smile. A smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks. "The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at outward appearance; but the Lord looks at the heart."
I Samuel 16:7

3. Shut Up!!

Say nice things and learn to listen. God gave us two ears and one mouth, so He must have meant for us to do twice as much listening as talking. "He who guards his lips guards his soul."
Proverbs 13:3

4. Stand Up!!... For what you believe in. Stand for something or you will fall for anything.. "Let us not be weary in doing good; for at the proper time, we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good..."
Galatians 6:9-10

5. Look Up!!...

To the Lord.
"I can do everything through Christ who strengthens me."
Phillippians 4:13

6. Reach Up!!...

For something higher. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not unto your own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge Him, And He will direct your path."
Proverbs 3:5-6

7. Lift Up!!... Your Prayers.
"Do not worry about anything; instead PRAY ABOUT EVERYTHING."
Philippians 4:6

God's Boxes

I have in my hands two boxes,
Which God gave me to hold
He said, "Put all your sorrows in the black box,
And all your joys in the gold."

I heeded His words, and in the two boxes,
Both my joys and sorrows I stored,
But though the gold became heavier each day,
The black was as light as before.

With curiosity, I opened the black,
I wanted to find out why,
An d I saw, in the base of the box, a hole,
Which my sorrows had fallen out by.

I showed the hole to God, and mused,
"I wonder where my sorrows could be!"
He smiled a gentle smile and said,
"My child, they're all here with me.."

I asked God, why He gave me the boxes,
Why the gold and the black with the hole?
"My child, the gold is for you to count your blessings,
The black is for you to let go."

Living in the Past

We can never live in the

past as if it were

our true home….

And it is a good thing that

God draws this veil over

the past even without

our asking.

In so doing, He allows us

to live today for

tomorrow with just

the few memories we

need of what was.

~ Karl Barth

Good Morning

When I say good morning I mean to say:

G-od
O-ffers us His
O-utstanding
D-evotion to

M-ake us
O-bedient &
R-eady for a
N-ew day with Him.
I-nspire others please, and
N-ever forget
G-od loves you

Thought of the day

Thought Of The Day Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, it only saps today of its joy. Enjoy Your Day

Video Links - Mark Gungor on Men vs. Women LOLOL

Mark Gungor is the senior pastor of Celebration Church in Green Bay WI and an inspirational speaker who travels to churches giving talks and seminars on marriage based on his book "Laugh Your Way to a Better Marriage".

"His take on marriage issues is refreshingly free of both churchy and psychological lingo. "Our secular culture over-romanticizes marriage and our Christian culture over-spiritualizes it. The reality is that relationships between men and women are very down to earth," Mark comments."

His talks are hilarious and explain a lot about the differences between men and women. The tale of two brains is especially funny. For more about him check out:

Enjoy,
