“For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return there but water the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.

Isaiah 55:10‭-‬11 ESV

Formula of the day…


Spirit of Truth + Word of Truth = Internal combustion...Beth Moore.



Lately, my health missions have been in a pretty good place, eating healthy and exercising most days, yet resting too, seeking balance. Sometimes, though I lack balance, yearning to be more fit physically, I'll let my spiritual go a bit. Today, as I was out walking and running, He touched my minds activity, reminding me of how important my thought life is. How often am I meditating on the word?


Hmmmm...honestly, not too much.
I think that it is a good time to remrmber practice = habit. I need to work on my meditating on the word, intentionally and daily.

Lord, help me to be healthy in all ways, seeking ways to take precious care of others and myself, all with You in mind. Most of all Lord, help me keep You before me all day, at all times, keeping You and Your words front and center. Help me love and to love mercy as I am called. Help me to take care of myself, honoring this vessel in which You dwell, but not in such a manner that it becomes more consuming than You, Yourself, or that it causes me to become more self centered or vain.

As a man thinks in his heart
That's what he's gonna be
The Bible made it clear
And that's good enough for me
So think about the things
That are good, cause don't you see
What you think about
That's what you're gonna be

So you better watch out
You better watch out
You better watch out
What you think about
Cause that's what you're gonna be



OR

If I think about despair
I will only get depressed
If I dwell on troubles
I will troubled be
I'm gonna fill up my mind
With the goodness of the Lord

Love this, needed this. I was just making a Salmon salad and started, not sure why, going down some memory lanes and stsrted to feel shameful. I said to my Lord, again, sooooo sorry.

Anyway, I just brought my yummy salad and set dowm to chk out CC. I'm smiling again, and thinking about the many wonderful things my Lord has done for me, for all of us who believe.

Anyhooooo...thanks Lynx, much appreciated. Great timing.

Salmon salad qualifies as a good thing to think about. What's in it?

Let's see, romain and spinach lettuce, salmon, mushrooms, onions, avocado, black olives, broccoli, carrots, radishes, and diced almonds. It is soooo good. Do u partake in this kinda yumminess? I am guessing so.

Sounds a lot better than the mound of iceberg lettuce that most restaurants down here in the South call a salad.
