8 only, Just a Tad.
Good morning to you all;
Today is the beginning on another new day. Wow! We actually have the opportunity to live another day. What a gift from God! Life is a gift from God. The more we can wrap our minds around that, the more we will be able to enjoy each new day. It is a gift! Everyone loves gifts. When i receive a gift, i don't jump up and down and get crazy excited, but i do look forward to opening it and i do appreciate gifts. So, as we read and discover that if things were just a tad different(i mean just a tad) in this universe, life could not be on this earth. There would not be enough oxygen, or just the right warmth or coolness in the air. We could so easily be fried or frozen if things shifted JUST A TAD.(I think we should write those few words down and place them in areas where we will be reminded of how blessed,spoiled and Special we are)
So, because you have been given life today, how special should you treat it? I hope you know that these are just thoughts that i am throwing out there that are on my mind right now. I don't want you to think that i am just preaching away at you. Ok, i am preaching away, but as gentle as possible.:)
The words, fried or frozen, stick out as i read this over. Let's enjoy this new day to the fullest by encouraging someone, helping someone in some way, accomplishing a goal that you have put off for some time, or just plain having a thankful heart and smiling at those you connect with. Let's face it, you can't go wrong when you touch another life in a positive way. Now that's what i'm talking about!
I just happen to have a special verse to encourage you to do good. Hebrews 4:13 says, "Nothing in all of creation is hidden from God's sight." God knows exactly where you are at. So, receive the gift and give the gift away. There's more where that came from.Tomorrow,
Tim

Good word daddy! Although I must admit that it is difficult to ENJOY life when I'm in the middle of studying for a Philosophy exam! yikes! It's difficult to stay positive in the midst of a very difficult situation but you show me that it CAN be done so i'm just going to try harder! I love you!
maaan tim, i know you get encouraged on a daily basis, and im sure it doesnt get old..sooo...i just wanna say that everyday that i read your blogs, they are forever reinforcing convictions in my life. Sometimes the things you say are hard to hear, but its refreshing! That verse Heb 4:13 really spoke to me and so did that verse from your last blog Matt 11:28-30...thank you....and keep it up, you are impacting my life in more ways than you know!
peace

Tim , you are a blessing to us. How can we ever express what a dear friend you are to us and to so many? When times get tough, the tough get tougher ... but in your case, when times get tough the faithful, persevere and you certainly are doing just that ..we are praying often and trusting His perfect will to be accomplished in your life. Keep faithful and keep close to the Giver....With Love
and prayers from Marlene and Dave
