Ever give someone a gift, and the gift is treated like it is 'not good enough'?
And they share their thoughts of your defective giving with loved ones around you?
You know the hurt you feel because you went out of your way to give it.
They turn their nose up at 'what you thought was a sweet gift' and it hurts!
Lord that can make us feel so hurt and angry.
Especially when we have precious little resources to work with.
We lift that up to You.
Please help us to be gracious in our gift giving and receiving.
Not resentful, no strings attached.
Please help us to see gifts others give us, You give us,
with thanksgiving and appreciation.
Forgive us for our lack of appreciation for the loving care that may have gone into that gift that was 'not good enough.'
MARRIAGE
God is the ultimate pilot of our lives and our only true source of security is in Him.
Yet in a committed relationship,
He gives us an earthly taste of our security in Him.
Lord, please help us with our spouses to be able to trust each other.
"Ask what you will and it shall be done unto you.
How I can fulfill the promises is My work, not yours to consider.
Have a big faith, and expect big things, and you will get big things." -God Calling
Teach us to number our days aright that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
Satisfy us in the morning with Your unfailing love,
that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days. Psalm 90:12
Lord let us see today and each duty in this day as you see it.
A troublemaker plants seeds of strife, gossip separates the best of friends. - Proverbs 16:28
Disregarding another's offense preserves love, telling about them separates close friends. -Prov. 17:9
Today- don't say something you are just dying to share!
