When plans don’t work out…

Today my plans got derailed a bit due to an equipment issue that knocked us off the air for about 15 minutes. I picked this devotional for Monday Motivation because it’s a good reminder of this question: how do you respond then your plans don’t work out? Or get postponed?

This passage is called “Imperfect Plans” from Jennifer Schuldt. Read it from Our Daily Bread by clicking here.

Name Something In A Person’s Closet That Only Comes Out On Special Occasions 
1. Suit/Tux (35)
2. Dress (26)

Unexpected blessings

Today I’m sharing a devotional reminding us that our God specializes in making beauty from ashes, or as Elevation Worship sings, graves into gardens. Here’s a short passage from James Banks in Our Daily Bread, which takes us from Peter Pan to Ruth. Read ‘Hard Ground and Tender Mercy’ by clicking here.

Motivation for the snowy journey…

Today’s Monday Motivation starts with Todd sharing a devotional from John Blase based on the classic film, “It’s A Wonderful Life.” Read ‘Prayer of the Broken Down’ by clicking here.

Proverbs 27:6 says:
Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses. (NIV)
You can trust a friend who corrects you, but kisses from an enemy are nothing but lies (CEV)

God offers His people advice on their friendships, which are an important part of spiritual life. Our friendships, and how we treat our friends, can tell a lot about our faith. We need to choose our friends wisely and treat them well.
Our prayer is: Lord, build strong friendships in my life and help me to be a good friend in turn.

Name something kids would probably never do in the morning, if it wasn’t for Mom!

1- brush their teeth
2- eat
3- get up
4- go to school
5- wash up

Congratulations to Suzanne from Mount Vernon, who guessed correctly and wins the $5 gift card to Everlasting Cup!

Motivation for a snow day!

Today’s Monday Motivation comes from the book “3-Minute Devotions”…

#1 Laughter

On your feet now-applaud GOD! Bring a gift of laughter, sing yourselves into his presence.
Psalm 100:1-2 MSG

As children of the Creator Himself, we were made to laugh—to experience great joy. Our design didn’t include for us to carry the stress, worry, and heaviness every day. Go ahead! Ask God to give you a really good laugh today.
Prayer: Lord, help me to rediscover laughter. Help me to take every opportunity You bring to see the joy in life and the comedy that it brings to my world every day. Amen.

#2 Christian Living

You’re no longer wandering exiles. This kingdom of faith is now your home country. You’re no longer strangers or outsiders. You belong here, with as much right to the name Christian as anyone.
Ephesians 2:19 MSG

What seems impossible on our own becomes a pleasure when we have help. We are never alone in our Christian journey. We are given one another, and we are even in touch with God’s Holy Spirit.
Prayer: O Lord, show me how You want me to be. Open my eyes, my heart, my spirit. Amen.

Name a subject on which people are always giving unwanted advice.
1 – your love life
2 – raising kids
3 – money
4 – weight/health
5 – cooking
