Spiritual Thoughts

  E verybody in your situation  has the same choice: You can rue your situation, or  you can dedicate yourself to changing it. Accept responsibility for your future. Refuse to complain, criticize, or condemn. ~ Mark Ford P ut false ways far from me and  graciously teach me your law!  I have chosen the way of faithfulness;  I set your rules before me. ~ Psalm 119:29-30

I trust that the things that happen to me all have valuable lessons that I can learn from.  I will look at each new situation that comes as something I can benefit from.  ~ "Life Vest Inside" e-newsletter   F or t he Lord disciplines the one he loves, and chastises every one whom he receives.  It is for discipline that you have to endure.  God is treating you as children. For what child is there whom his father does not discipline? For our fathers disciplined us for a short time as it seemed best to them, but God disciplines us for our good, so that we may share His holiness.  For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it . ~ Hebrews 12: 6, 7, 11 (ESV)
