5.8.11

Proverbs 14:30 A peaceful heart leads to a healthy body; jealousy is like cancer in the bones.

My Thoughts

When we praise God we draw Him near.  When we draw God near we feel His peace. His amazing peace! When we spend time praising God we don't have time to dwell on others...on what they have that we don't have...on what they can do that we can't do..the list goes one and on.  The stress can go on and on too. But, we have a chance to choose health over jealousy and anxiety... simply by praising God, by keeping God near to us, by pleasing God by living like God wants us to live. My grandmother lived to be 96 years old... I never remember her being sick until she was 90..then she had Colon Cancer... made it through surgery successfully...and lived 6 more years.  She gave everything to God... and left it with Him once she gave it to him.  She talked to God all the time...she kept God near.  She is my personal example of a peaceful heart leading to a healthy body. I strive to be more like her, keeping God always near.

Dear God,

Please tell my mom how much I love and miss her...tell her Happy Mother's day for me.

In Jesus Name

Love,
