Compassion and Encouragement

"Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience."

Colossians 3:12

Let us always encourage and pray for our friends. Often, they are going through things we cannot imagine. A listening ear, a kind word, and prayer can do wonders for someone who is discouraged.

Blessings,
Laura

What Do You Have in Your Hand? Doing With What You've Got!

Are you content?

When God spoke to Moses from the burning bush, He asked Moses, 

"What do you have in your hand?"

 That's a good question for us, too. Often we think of all the things we need that we don't have. This can lead to whining, discouragement and discontentment.
It's a slippery slope that can lead to depression.

So what can we do?

Look around your home.

Make a list of what you DO have to work with.

What can you do with it?

• Make an inventory list of food in your pantry, your fridge, your freezer. What can you make from it?

• Make an inventory list of the fabrics, trims, notions, and craft supplies on hand. What can you make from them? Think birthday, wedding, baby and Christmas gifts.

• What do you have on hand that could be sold on Ebay, Etsy, Facebook Marketplace, another online site, at a consignment store, or at a yard sale?

The key to not being discouraged 

by circumstances is to

think about possibilities 

not impossibilities. 

So, look at what you have in your hand, then ask God to show you what you can do with it. Ask Him for wisdom. Believe that He will give it to you.

He's waiting for your questions. Do not doubt it. He has promised to supply all your needs, but he expects you to use what you have in your hands.

God bless you all!

Still working on it myself,

Laura
