I decided to start this blog (2010) because my son, John-Robert gave me a One Year Bible for Christmas, the New Living Translation... reading it has changed my life... I post a daily Bible verse on my Facebook page every day and it has been well received... I thought that this would be a wonderful way to share part of what I read each day!... I hope that you enjoy it.



This Year 2012 I am going to do things a little different... not much...just a little. I am again reading through my One Year Bible (for the 3rd time). But I am also using "The Secret Power of Speaking God's Word" by Joyce Meyer. This book is divided by putting scriptures under different categories so they can be used to speak over our life situations. Each day I will read a category of scripture and pick a scripture in that category to write about.

6.27.11

Proverbs 18:1 Unfriendly people care only about themselves; they lash out at common sense.

My Thoughts
To know this is true all we have to do is stop and remember the times we have been unfriendly. A good example is when we get behind and have to stop at the store on the way to somewhere important.  All we are thinking about is us, how we will look if we are late and the what people will think of us if we are..... we know we are not being friendly to the cashier... and even tho the people in the other cars can't hear us we are unfriendly to them.  We all have our moments!!...Those moments when we only think about ourselves. We need to remember this verse to keep ourselves in check...if we find ourselves being unfriendly we need to realize that we are in  the mist of thinking only of ourselves. When we are in the mist of being selfish we even miss out when other try to bless our days...we are seeing only ourselves so much that we don't see what others are trying to do for us. If we think of ourselves as being unselfish, but find ourselves being unfriendly, we need to stop and make a mental check and correct our actions. Kindness is never a mistake.
