MAKING ROOM

Instead of having a worry consume us, make room for prayer take over. It will bring much more nourishment to the body, allowing God to help carry our burdens, warm our soul with His Spirit and provide for the Lord’s strength to nurture us to withstand whatever is given to us. ~Marie T. Morrison~

TAKING AHOLD OF THE ROOTS

While out for a walk, notice the flower having the strongest roots. Notice how bold and solid it is, planted deep into the earth’s soil. Admire it, reflect upon it, thinking how you can build the same, strong roots upon something worthwhile in your life. As the flower has taken hold, take hold of that important piece in your life, not straying from your path. Listen to the wisdom of God, as He separates the healthy roots from the weak ones. The healthy ones will give the life we want to reach for personal spiritual fulfillment. Once this is accomplished, we become accessible to others, so they may plant their dreams, making deep-rooted memories along their personal paths. The cycle continues, providing the best for all of those wanting to take root of their dreams, wanting a vine to grow, spreading their joy to everyone. Cuttings from the vine will keep the bold, strong,roots growing in all the generations to come. ~Marie T. Morrison~

WHAT IS LEFT?

If someone is not ready to make peace with me, what could I pray for? I can only pray for their peace.

A ROUGH DAY

Making a moral decision does not always come with a sigh of relief. It may make others unhappy, even cause the loss of a friendship. Obstacles can temporarily get in the way of accomplishing the selected choice, but staying fast and true to the self is what counts. It is something that will become teachable to the children and grandchildren in the years to come, showing how one did make it over the tough times, never losing a sense of dignity. It is a time to hold the head up high, always having God’s faith to carry His loving child through another rough day. ~Marie T. Morrison~

CHANGE THAT MOOD

I frequent a public facility where the employees are unhappy while interacting with the public. My personal goal is to make them smile before they leave my presence. It only takes a few seconds, to recognize them as people, not as a number. Feeling the Holy Spirit within, it makes my task a pleasant one. They are my brethren, my neighbor, whom I should love. We should not take moods personally; instead, see how we can change that mood!
