“Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.”

Attitude
by Charles Swindoll
“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. It will make or break a company…a church…a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past…we cannot change that people will act a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude…I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me, and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you…we are in charge of our Attitudes.”
“Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind…”
Romans 12:2

With God we will find strength and courage because all things are possible with Him.

Even though the world knocks you down, your faith will see you through.

Let your faith be greater than your fear.
Fear Is A Liar by Zach Williams

He sacrificed Himself on the Cross to save us and reconcile us with God.
The Cross Has The Final Word by Newsboys
“When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.”
John 19:30

I sense a need for less talking and more listening. Choose whatever way you can best connect with God by listening. For me, of course, I listen to music that has been created by Christian artists that God has blessed with talent to share the Good News. For a period of time, not sure how long, I will be talking less and sharing messages through God’s Word and song and gathering new photos. May the peace and comfort of the Lord be with you. Amen.
He gives us strength…He gives us courage…His is the voice of truth.
