Naughty or Nice in 2016?

North Pole called with a question for you. Regarding thoughts, words, attitudes and actions of 2016, what part of "Naughty or Nice" wasn't clear?

Depression can drain the life and energy from anything and anyone, anytime.

What I Deserve

If I say "I didn't get to, I missed out on, I didn't receive," it shows believing I rightly deserved those good things I missed.

Most importantly, because Jesus came, I miss out on a LOT of bad things I DO RIGHTLY deserve!!.

"A schedule defends from chaos and whim. It is a net for catching days." - Annie Dillard

His Mending Beats My Brokenness

Choose Gratitude!

Got Gratitude?

No matter how busy the day, there's always room for Gratitude. #ChooseGratitude

Rejoice More, Regret Less

We can regret what isn't, or rejoice in what is. #FewerRegrets

Contentment

Not learning to be joyful & serving WHEREver and HOWever I am says: "You blew it this time, Father." #contentment

Limitations? Not for Him!

Our limitations DO NOT limit the Father from working through us. #presson

Choose Hope!

Having less visible reasons for Hope never makes us hopeless. #ChooseHope

Retraining Myself

If I had $1 for every mistake I've made, surely I'd have enough money by now to pay for retrain myself!

Focus on Shortcomings?

Our shortcomings can bring overwhelm, but only if we focus and dwell on them. And what would be the useful benefit of that?

Regret or Rejoice? Our Choice

We can REGRET what isn't, or REJOICE in what is. One makes us sad, one makes us happy. Our choice.

A Two Year Old for a Brain

My mind is like a 2-year old. I must continuously direct it to useful, fruitful things, or it will surely make a mess or worse, wander off and need rescue.

Grace Needed

I must claim God's Grace to work in every moment, not just when i KNOW I need it. Otherwise I must be believing that at times I am good enough on my own.

Knowing or Doing

It's not what I don't know that bothers me. It's what I know and don't do that is more problematic.

Thankfu, When Not Really

Behind our home of 16 years is what has been a few acres of trees. They shielded our subdivision from noise and sight of a commercial/manufactured zoned area. The sun would be well into the sky before we had sunrise over the treetops. We had the joy of other people's trees with NO obligation or responsibility.

Lately woodsman have been cutting the trees to make an expansion of the business property. Quite noisy for sure!  As work progressed, it was obvious almost all trees were departing, opening our windows to views no longer of Georgia woods, but of Georgia metal warehouse type buildings.

Recently learning that many people (whether Christian or not) speak of the Great value of being Grateful.  That reminded me I'd not come to point of an attitude of gratitude for the neighborhood changes.   So, I decided if the new view was what we had, that would have to  be okay. I wasn't get tax bills for those trees. I could be appreciative of our new normal. Maybe not my choice, but landowners should have a lot of say with their own property.

AND THE NEXT DAY.... the loggers came back and continued the project.  In fact, days later, they still were busy.  True, my new attitude made me much happier inside. I did wonder during our first days of significant clouds and rain if there would be a positive visible from the absence of our "borrowed" trees.

One change was that our sunrises are going to be almost an hour earlier!! That's definitely noticeable.  AND, they are amazingly beautiful!! Full of audacious streaks and patterns of color never seen from our perspective with a sunrise in over sixteen years! It seems as if Father was saying: "I'm still working on the smallest details of life that concern you, and still in the creative arts business!"

Gratitude is recommended, whether feelings support it at the time!

Repair Costs

The service advisor for an out of state car dealership called with the repair quote. (The vehicle had stranded 2 ladies in a parking lot; still had reverse, but no forward.) We authorized repair, and checked to see if that surprise price was reasonable, and it was. For whatever emotions, if He can't handle a car repair bill, can He really handle all that's broken in me? If this cost is beyond His wallet, did Calvary's payment actually work? If He can only provide a minimal substandard service of reverse only (I can do that on my own), won't this eternal life thing really suck? A lot of repair bill checks have had my signature on them...if He can't handle THIS one, why bother?. Trusting is more fun and freeing, than fretting!

Comfort Zones
