CHOICES

CHOICES

Every day we are faced with choices.

What to wear.

What to eat.

Where to go or stay home.

To pay our bills or not to pay.

Some are simple choices

Some are difficult.

Sometimes life brings us sadness and sorrow.

Sometimes we are betrayed by our friends.

Sometimes life brings sickness and pain.

Sometimes we have fear and doubt.

The important thing in life is the choices we

make in response to our life experiences.

When life brings us sadness and sickness,

we can choose to become depressed

and spread our mood to others.

Or we can choose
JOY.

When a friend betrays us, we can choose to be

angry and respond with bitterness.

Or we can choose to

FORGIVE.

When we experience sickness and pain,

we can suffer and allow it to weaken us

until we can no longer cope.

Or we can turn to the LORD for strength and help.

When we have fear and doubt,

we can allow it to master us until we are

no longer able to function normally.

Or we can recognize that these are

tools of the devil to destroy us and

TRUST GOD.

These are only a few examples of choices we can make in life.

I am resolved to choose

JOY

FORGIVENESS and

to TRUST GOD.

Here are some of my recent cards

Hello…

I hope you remember me.

I am so far behind in my blogging.

So many things have been happening in my life,

but I want to get back on track.

I have finally started making cards again so I will

also be sharing some of them on my blog.

Today I wanted to share a poem that I think

expresses  something that I hope

will be as helpful to you as it is to me.

Speak Out

One never knows how much

A little word may mean.

How it may heal a broken heart

Or still a qualm unseen.

Someone may be discouraged

About to turn aside,

They might be trying to be brave

And all their fears to hide.

They may fear to tell just how

Their weary spirit feels,

But just one kind, little word from you

Could be the one that heals.

Their job they may have tried to do

And yet they feel so wrong

And just a thoughtful word from you

May fill their heart with song.

So friend, speak out!

It won’t cost you a thing,

But to some sorrowing, aching heart

A ray of hope may bring.

We never know what problems 

 those around us are facing ,

 but kindness and love will make a difference.

And be ye kind one to another,

tenderhearted, forgiving one another,

even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

Ephesians 4:32

 

 

Here is the cards I made using Word Art Wednesday's scripture last week.
