Complete,Thorough, Perfect

Consider your morning.
Photo by Mary Vee
As you woke, you inhaled a deep breath of life sustaining air. Was it crisp? Mine was. It was forty-two degrees outside.

You stumbled in your morning walk dance to the bathroom and freshened up for the day using water flowing from a faucet.

You slipped into your work clothes, even mom's and stay at home workers have work clothes, made from the plants and animals inhabiting our earth.

 You enjoyed your breakfast, even if it was only a cup of coffee, thanking God for His gift of food/drink.

 By this time the sun rose in the sky, lighting your home, radiating colors far better than interior lighting.

 Everything God does is designed to have a thorough, complete, and perfect outcome. His desires are for our good. 

I feel rested, satisfied after my sleep last night.

 My hair and skin are clean, fresh for a new day.

 My stomach is appeased with the breakfast.

 The sun sparks happiness in my heart, a special warmth that isn't physical (it is still cold in my house).

 God has sparked a plan in my mind for today. One that feeds off the ACFW conference I just attended. If I follow through, even address unexpected issues, I will rest tonight, knowing God is thorough, complete, and perfect. The provider, giver, sustainer.

 Blessings on your day.

 Friend, will you share a blessing for God in the comment section?

You always put things in their proper perspective, Mary! It really is the most simple & basic things in which we are blessed, isn't it? We need to, continually, be aware of this, & thank God for his faithfulness to us!

Hope the ACFW conference was fruitful for you, & gave you MUCH inspiration & blessing! I have read, (heard, & seen, via live cast video & audio), nothing but wonderful things about it!

Mary, at my age every day is a true blessing. And, for the blessings he has bestowed upon doctors to learn the thing they can do with HIS guidance . Have a little great-grandson who is such a blessing given us by GOD. He had so many things needing surgery when he was born, yet has been very active kittle boy. Even missing a ventricle on his heart, he thrived busily while waiting 10 mo. for surgery because has some plans in life for him, I truly believe,. He had to have a colostomy bag put on as soon as he was born. No rectum. As a 2 yr. old GOD let the doctors fix that where it is normal now. What a miracle to me. This was besides surgeries on things inside. He has made many trips to the hospital, but through it all he has been as active as others his age. This could happen only because of GOD's blessings to us. Two Clef Palets and lips fixed now with GOD's power given them. Thank you GOD! Maxie mac262(at)me(dot)com

Suzanne Woods Fisher - Overcoming the Fear of Failure

By
We've all had something fail. Maybe a school assignment, baking a cake, changing a car tire. Well that was my shortlist confession. There really is a mile long list that you don't want to hear.  Talk about a quick drive to the blues. Even one negative comment in a barrel full of praises can take us down. Sigh. Why oh why do we remember the one negative one and forget the positives.  You are not alone. We all do this. But there is a way of escape. Today, Suzanne Woods Fisher is going to share her story. The Fear of Failure “For I am the Lord, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you. Do not fear; I will help you” (Isaiah 41:13, niv).              Years ago, before I received my first book contract, an editor returned a manuscript to me with the comment that the writing wasn’t up to her publishing house’s “caliber.”  Ouch!  That was a tough remark to swal...

A Memory Device For You

By
Photo Courtesy Recently I added a memory game to my week's activities.  It all started when I listened to one of those fabulous sermons in church and actually took notes. Later in the week, I recalled liking the sermon and searched for the notes, but lamented when I couldn't find the piece of paper. I quizzed myself: What was the general topic? I racked my brain…good grief this was Thursday and a thousand other things had happened when I asked the question. After a cup of tea, visualizing where I sat in the sanctuary, and using every other means possible to remember the general topic I finally answered the question.  The process to recall the rest of the good things said was an epic fail.  Although I have since started using a notebook I have created a memory game. On Monday, at any point during the day, I try to say the following without the use of my notes: General topic of the sermon Main book of the Bible used  Application p...

Fabulous Friday Feature-Laura Frantz

By
Today I welcome  Laura Frantz, a gracious lady showing the love of Christ with her smile. Enter to win Laura's  September 2013 release, Love's Awakening Scroll to the end of the post to see how to enter. I was introduced to Laura at an ACFW conference by my a fellow Writer's Alley Cat writer. Immediately I saw Laura's gracious spirit. It's been about two years since and I thought of that Christlike spirit when I noticed her new book release. I asked Laura to share with us the journey God has led her on for her writing career. Of course she graciously agreed. Here is what she said: You Were Born For Nothing Less Thanks so much for having me here, Mary. It’s always a joy to revisit my writing journey as it stays fresh and is always humbling to think how God led me to this place.  In a nutshell… I’ve written stories – historical fiction only – since I was seven years old. I think I came into the world hardwired to write. I didn’t ...
