Staying in the Moment

So…what inspired Jeremy Camp to write the song ‘Keep Me in the Moment?’ Here’s what he shared last March:

“When I wrote this song, it really was inspired by a conversation with my wife Adrienne. We were talking and realizing that our daughter Bella only has a few more years in the house with us because she’s going to go off to college. It really sent us on a trajectory of being more intentional with her, and of course the whole family and just realizing how fast time goes, and I don’t want to miss out on any moment. I realize so much with our society we live in, we have our faces buried in our phone so much, and we’re not even keeping our eyes open to things around us – that God may be trying to reveal things in our family, in friends in our lives or whatever it may be. We’re so caught up so many times in what’s next or what’s tomorrow or planning for next year and I’m not saying planning is wrong, but we may miss what God has for us today. And for me, I don’t want to miss anything that God has for me. I want to stay in the moment. It’s been a life lesson for us right now and kind of a reset button and it’s been so good, I pray it encourages you guys.”

Everybody wants today…to be their day.

Seriously?? How many people claimed February 24th as their day? Who Knew February 24th was everybody’s day?

Pink Day

Pink Day was established in 2007 after a pair of students, David Shepherd and Travis Price, saw one of their fellow students at Central Kings Rural High School being bullied for no other reason than that they were wearing a pink shirt.

In a stroke of brilliance, these two got together and decided to show support for the student and take a stand against bullying by getting everyone at their school to wear a pink shirt the next day. Pink Day was created to stomp out all bullying and spread understanding, and it’s a concept spreading throughout the world.

Tortilla Chip Day – make your own! Find out how by clicking this link from Simply Recipes!

I Hate Coriander Day – SERIOUSLY? But…some people really think it tastes like soap. Here’s the scoop from Encylopedia Britannica.

Inconvenience Yourself Day

This day is meant to serve as an incentive for others to acknowledge their appreciation for acquaintances or strangers and to promote a respectful attitude and an attentive demeanor.

We can all celebrate by simply opening a door for an old lady, giving up a seat to a pregnant lady, helping a child cross the street, stopping to ask if a tourist is lost and needs directions, offering to carry a suitcase up the stairs and generally making a small sacrifice.

But most of all, we have to reflect on what others need and how we can help. It can make a big difference!

Who Am I?

–          I was born on this date in 1885 in Fredericksburg, Texas

–          My father died six months before I was born, so my grandfather helped raise me

–          My grandfather influenced my love of the sea

–          I was appointed to the Navy in 1901

–          I rose to the rank of Fleet Admiral

–          I commanded the U.S. Pacific Fleet in WWII

–          A Navy supercarrier is named after me

–          I died in 1966 at 80 years of age

I am Fleet Admiral Chester Nimitz. Congratulations to Dave from Butler, who guessed correctly and wins the $5 gift card to Everlasting Cup.

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!

Thanks for listening!
