Be Careful in What You Say


         There are times that you ought to speak words to someone due to terrible anger. People, think twice before talking! Most things you say out of anger are still words that comes from your heart and out of the heart comes negative thoughts. Do you really mean to hurt him/her? Or do you just say words out of fury?

           "Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person. "
                                                                                                       - Colossians 4:6 ESV

  "But what comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and this defiles a person."

                                                                                                       - Matthew 15:18 ESV


Oh Yes! I Should be Thankful!


Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. - James 1:17 

            The discussion about our salary increase made me realize how much I should be more thankful to God for what I received. Instead of complaining about how small the increase is or compare it with other people's salary, I should have a grateful heart. In a place where there is full of complexities, a person who always thinks that everything is inadequate would never have enough.

            Today, I thank God for making me realize this once more. I declare that every good gift comes from God. I'm so glad that I have a Father who is a great provider!

Three Steps to be Thankful

     Is your heart full of gratitude or resentment? Check these simple ways!

1. Write a diary - This is one way of reminding yourself of events. When I was young, I used to have a journal of daily happenings. I realized, why not mark about things I am thankful for?



2. Post It! - Are you stressed when seeing your desk full of clutter? Here's a suggestion, write something good on a post it. This will remind you of happy moments. Place it on your work desk, study table or anywhere noticeable.




3. Pray - prayer is not only done whenever you ask for something! How about utter your gladness to God?

            And you will say in that day: “Give thanks to the Lord, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the peoples, proclaim that his name is exalted. “Sing praises to the Lord, for he has done gloriously; let this be made known in all the earth. - Isaiah 12:4-5 ESV

Gratitude - All the Goodness are Available in My Life


          I am more than thankful for all the great things in my life! God is faithful forever and ever...                                                                     

" Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend." - Melody Beattie
