bless up

Give, and it will be given to you… Luke 6:38

I posted this on Instagram earlier this week, and with a little tweaking, am sharing it here on the blog today…

The way to win in 2018? Give. When you give, do so cheerfully, from the heart. Bless someone with a coat this winter, with a meal, lend a hand, or even give a smile. Then watch God bless you in return.

Read this recently: “Create a life that feels good on the inside, not just one that looks good on the outside.” God looks at the heart, right? Why not let Him see some good things there when He looks.

Let’s make 2018 the year to give, to love our neighbors, to bless, and bless up, and bless more, and more often. You’ll get it back, and then some.

new things

Behold, all things are made new…

We begin again. We start anew. No better time to focus on gettin’ it right than right now.

I’m a fan of new. Mornings are my favorite part of the day. I like new books and journals. I like pretty little new babies. And I love a new, fresh cup of coffee (decaf, please).

2018 calls for new, don’t you think? New as in renewed, really. Renewed in our thinking. Renewed in our behavior. A restart in how we treat others. Recommitting ourselves to the path God intended.

Find yourself in the new this year. Try new things. Add new experiences to your list. Make new friends. Renew your love (your giving) for your neighbors who stand in need. And above all, be renewed and transformed in your walk with the Lord. He’s gonna do some awesome things this year!
