A Great Opportunity

Image
By
God blesses us everyday with great opportunities.

 Even in the midst of trials or fun times, God gives us opportunities.

 Think about your day so far. Have your cup of coffee? Wait--I'm going to get mine. Be right back.



Okay, I'm ready. Had a little fun and put an "M" for Mary on top. :)




What opportunity has God given you to bless someone? To bless yourself? (that's okay, by the way. God wants us to be happy) To bless God?

 Yes. I'm hearing some great ideas from you all:

 *call a friend
*send an email/FB message to someone in need
*fix a super dinner for the family tonight
*listen to the birds
*do the one project I've been putting off
*hug my spouse/child/parent
*pray for my pastor and his wife

 Great ideas!!!!

 It's also okay to ask someone to do something or pray for you. 

 What prayer request do you have? Write it in the comment section. I will be praying right away for your request. 

 What can we do for you? Well we're kinda limited on line with this one. But I can think of a couple of things:

 Tell me a topic you would like us to chat about.
Tell me a book you would like reviewed.
Tell me an author you would like to visit with us for a weekend post
Tell me a book you would like me to include in the book give aways.

I have a request. Something each of you could do for me. My website/blog Let's Talk has been nominated for blog of the month at the Book Club Network. I know! I'm so excited!!

 This organization reaches out to thousands of readers. But to win I need votes. You don't have to be a member and any one can vote. I would really appreciate if you would take a minute to vote this blog and me. Here is how:

 1. Go to this link: http://www.bookfun.org/
2. Scroll down and look in the far right column for "Voting for July blogger of the month"
3. Click the box for "Let's Talk" by Mary Vee 
4. Click the button "vote"

 If you are using a mobile phone the link does not take you to the home page...crazy, I know!!
Open the menu on the top right and click on "desktop view". That will take you to the home page. Scroll down and look in the far right column for "Voting for July blogger of the month". Click the box for "Let's Talk" by Mary Vee. Click the button "vote".
Thank you so very much.

 Don't forget to include in the comment section how we can pray for your or something you would like added/done on this blog.

Mary, I really like that M in your coffee. How did you make it?

To bless some friends on a blog I frequent I post prayers for them on the prayer page. We are Chistian friends who met through World Magazine blog which was taken down. One really nice soul started a new blog to allow the group to stay together. That has been a blessing. Several from the group from various parts of the nation and Canada have met up, most recently for a picnic outing. So many have been blessed. I think your blog could be that kind of a Christian hangout, too.

Thank you for the book you sent. I have mailed a snail mail thank you.

Prayers for Israel, for my home to be in better shape (clear clutter and major repairs), progress on refining writing skills, and good visit with son.

I will keep these prayers on my list. I think a lot of us could use prayers for keeping the home in better shape. Seems like one project barely is finished before another screams to be done.Thank you so much for sharing. Love chatting with you, Janice.

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...

Laughter and Singing at the Homeless Shelter

By
It was a night to remember. A night to tell friends about. So I am... Fifty men, women, and teens rode in busses on icy expressways into the inner city. They poured out of the bus at a homeless shelter unsure where to go, what to do, or what to say. One led the pack through the main doors, pass security checkpoints, and on through winding hallways to a large room. At night, this room is filled, wall to wall, with cots, blankets, and at this time of year, cold homeless men, women, and children. On this evening before the night, hundreds of chairs formed straight rows and faced a platform.   The fifty set up sound and instrument equipment. Singers cozied in the limited platform space. Instrumentalists tuned their instruments.  A few residents poked their heads in the door. Intrigued, they came in and watched the first measures of several songs start, stop, start again. Microphone levels adjusted. The singers laughed. Chattered. The group stepped off to the side and...
