Good Morning!
We are almost done with November and into December! Schedules are filling up with parties, concerts, shopping and other stuff, but I pray we do not lose sight of the Reason for the Season. Be sure to take time for God on a daily basis.
Lisa's tweet: LMRMinistries: Proverbs 15:2 ~ No one wants to be a fool, but you might be....How are you known - as a person who uses wise words or one whose words do harm [fool]?
Have your words ever gotten you in trouble? Mine have! Have you heard any of these phrases: "Think before you speak!" - "Put your brain in gear before your mouth!" - "I only open my mouth to change feet!"?
I had the privilege of going to the Chonda Pierce concert a week or so ago and just loved sitting and listening and laughing with her. She has said several times that "she thinks and then things slip out before they are sanctified". Does that happen to you?
All of us want to be an encourager and not harm people with our words, but there are times that things "slip out". We have talked about how our words reflect our heart and if our heart is right, our words will be also.
Take a moment to examine your heart this morning - how are you feeling? Are you ready to show Jesus to the world today? Do you have His love ready to share with others? How about those Scriptures you have been memorizing? Use those wise words today and encourage and build up!
Ready - set - GO!
Blessings!

Tuesday, November 27th - Proverbs 13:2-3
Good Evening!
It has been kind of a sad night for me as I have thought about all the good times I had as a kid growing up in Heyworth and spending lots of time with Adrian and Helen Robeson. Adrian went Home while I was in Portugal and Helen went Home this past Sunday. What memories have flooded my mind. Now she is HOME and feels no more pain or frustration or sadness! We will say our final goodbyes tomorrow and I have the privilege of singing two of my favorite hymns - "How Great Thou Art" and "Just a Closer Walk With Thee". It's gonna be a great celebration of life!
Lisa's tweet: LMRMinistries: Proverbs 13:2-3 ~ If something is not in your heart, it can't come out of your mouth. If you "didn't mean it" - don't say it. #guardyourmouth
Have you ever thought about the words that come out of your mouth. They reflect what is in your heart! Do your word reflect frustration and stress or freedom and easy going? Do they reflect pain or healing? Do your words reflect bitterness and dislike or do they reflect love and grace?
It is hard sometimes to be encouraging when we don't feel that way. However, if we are in communion with our Heavenly Father and take time to be with Him and learn from Him, HE provides the words we should say and the thoughts we should think and the strength to live as He would have us live! HE is our all in all!
There was another tweet I saw today that was encouraging and also thought provoking: @bakerpastor: One of God's coolest inventions: Healing! His eternal design to heal works for teeth and for souls. What do you need healed today? #seekGod
I ask the same question of you this evening - What do you need healed today? Is it your heart so that your words reflect HIM?
Have a great evening!
Love and prayers,
Cheri Lynn

Thursday, November 15th - Proverbs 13:19-21
Good Evening!
I just came from a wonderful concert! I was at Kingsley Junior High School and the 6th grade chorus, band and orchestra all performed. It was great! I was so very proud of my son - to see him singing and playing the tuba! Did my heart good!
Lisa's tweet: LMRMinistries: Proverbs 13:19-21 ~Look at the results in your life. What kind of people are you surrounded by? Choose wisely. You become what you hang out with.
Choosing wisely can bring blessing upon blessing, but choosing the wrong path or foolishly can lead to consequences and destruction. Look at verse 20: "He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm." Which would you rather be?
Do you remember in school, back in the day, that there were "clicks" or certain kids hung around other kids and they were the "in" crowd? They all began talking the same and sometimes dressing alike and even doing things the same way. Do you also remember that if the group was caught doing something wrong, and you were part of the group - it was guilty by association?
Who do choose to "hang" with today? Are you associated with the wise or the foolish? I hope we all choose to surround ourselves with fellow Christians, both older and younger. We can learn so much from each other and also mentor at the same time. Remember, prosperity is the reward of the righteous. Choose wisely!
Blessings!

Wednesday, November 14th - James 3:1-12
Good Evening!
I read a tweet today that said: "Worship is the best response to encountering God's beauty. Don't miss the chance to worship God today!" This statement is so true for me as I absolutely get lost in worship when I am in His beautiful creation - the Smokey Mountains, the Rockies, the Sequoias in California, the ocean, Victoria Falls in Zambia, Africa, Cliffs in Portugal, the fall colors here in Illinois, and my own backyard! HE is everywhere! His beauty is all around us! Can you see it? Will you worship with me? Sing His praises!
Lisa's tweet: LMRMinistries: James 3:1-12 ~ The words that come out of your mouth set the tone for the entire course of your life. Keep your mouth shut until you can speak well.
This passage is pretty straight forward and fairly easy to understand. Your mouth, your tongue specifically, can get you in real trouble. You know why most coaches tell a player or a person to take a deep breathe and count to ten? Because it allows the person to calm down and think more clearly. It is important!
Look at verse 9 and 10 - With the same tongue (mouth) we praise our Heavenly Father and turn around and use the very same mouth to curse men. This cannot be! We need to choose our words wisely!
Let's go back to our worship that I mentioned at the beginning. While you are sitting or kneeling or lying down taking it all in and worshipping the Great Creator, our Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus - ask for direction. Ask for wisdom and most of all ask for strength to be an example for good and not for bad. Be the exception in today's society and not the rule.
As you rise to face a new day tomorrow, look to God's creation and see what you can find that blesses you. Drop us a note if you take the challenge!
Love and prayers,
Cheri Lynn

Tuesday, November 13th - Proverbs 12:18-19
Good Evening!
Another beautiful day today! The sunshine was gorgeous and the temps were a little higher today! The sunshine just seems to put more smiles on people's faces. Don't you think?
Lisa's tweet: LMRMinistries: Proverbs 12:18-19 ~ Your mouth can be a deadly weapon if you choose words that kill others. It can also be a source of life if you choose loving words.
These verses are pretty self explanatory. Use or choose the wrong words and you can hurt people, friends and co-workers. Do you remember the old saying: "Sticks and stones can break my bones, but words can never hurt me!" That is so wrong. A good example is children! Sometimes they can be so very mean with what they say. Whether it is on the playground or in the lunch room, many times vulgar and wrong words are uttered! They hurt! Many times the receiving one doesn't say anything and holds it deep inside and that is very hurtful.
Look at the second part of these verses: "but the tongue of the wise brings healing. Truthful lips endure forever." Proverbs 12: 18b - 19a
Which do you strive for? I choose the harder way and learn to be patient before I speak and think it through as much as I possibly can.
Have a great evening everyone!
Talk to you tomorrow!

Monday, November 12th - Acts 16:25-34
Good Evening!
Enjoying the cooler temperatures? Definitely colder than yesterday, but a beautiful day all in all with the sunshine warming it up a little!
Lisa's tweet: LMRMinistries: Acts 16:25-34 ~ At the brink of death (27), seeing the integrity of Christians around him led a man to choose life ~ for him and his family #Jesussaves
I love this story! Do you realize what Paul and Silas were doing at midnight? They were praying and singing hymns! They were having their own little church service and everyone in the prison was paying attention. Then all of the sudden there was an earthquake and it opened all the doors of the prison.
Put yourself in the place of the jailer - what would you have done? This was a big responsibility and all the cell doors were swung open and he assumed everyone was gone. What would happen to him? The authorities probably would have beheaded him anyway and so he went to take his own life. However, Paul stopped him and then the story is full of joy - the Jailer approached Paul and asked how to be saved, listened to Paul and Silas and then was baptized along with his family. Wow!
Verse 34 says that the whole family was filled with joy because they had come to believe in God.
Let me ask you a couple questions: How does worship affect you? Do you really get into the praise songs and the prayers and the preaching of the word or do you just "quietly participate", thinking about other things that you need to do? You know, we are going to have an eternity of worship - praising our God and Savior! Hallelujah! What a day that will be - when His face I see and I can raise my hands and sing His praises with all that I am!
Secondly, are you filled with joy? Real joy that comes from deep within! The kind of joy that helps us grow in our faith and helps us persevere. Read James 1:2-4! Joy is not always an outward expression, but many times and inward action. Consider it pure joy when.....
How about you? I choose to worship Him all day everyday with joy in my heart! Read Psalm 100 and sing it to the Lord! Begin to memorize this chapter and then use it often in your devotions! It is true praise for the Father!
Love and prayers!

Sunday, November 11th - Proverbs 11:29
Happy Veteran's Day!
I am so very thankful for all those in the armed forces that have served and are serving and for those that gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. Thank you men and women of the Armed Forces!
Lisa's tweet: LMRMinistries: Proverbs 11:29 ~ Family can be the greatest source of joy and of pain. What are you pouring into your family? No matter what, choose to be loving.
Family is important to God and He has given us a guide book on how the family should look. God, our Father disciplines us just as we discipline our children. It hurts, but it is needed. It is hard to discipline your child, but you want them to learn!
I became a mother through adoption. November is National Adoption Month and we - my family and I - celebrate with thanksgiving, as we have seven adopted children in our immediate family. I have two, my sister and husband have three, and my brother and his wife have two. We have truly been blessed. My son and daughter are the best blessings I have ever received. I pray daily that I will be the Mom that God wants me to be to them.
I pour the love of Jesus into them each day and know that they are the greatest joy for me and yet can make me weep with pain and agony and uncertainty. It hurts! People always talk about tough love and I think it is harder on the parent than on the child. As you read Lisa's tweet: What are you pouring into your family - both immediate and also extended (friends and family)? No matter what, choose to LOVE!!!
As for me, I choose LOVE!
"Not flesh of my flesh, nor bone of my bone, but still miraculously my own...never forget for a single minute - you didn't grow under my heart, but in it!"
Remember, family is important! No matter what - choose to show them love!
Have a great week!
Love and Prayers!

Saturday, November 10th - John 15:1-11
Good Evening!
What a beautiful day! It was a little windy, but so nice! Hope you enjoyed it as much as my family did!
Lisa's tweet: LMRMinistries: John 15:1-11 ~ Got Joy? Jesus says, "Want some? Come get some." How? Know God so well by studying and applying the Bible to you life #completejoy
I love this passage of scripture. God is the Gardener, Jesus is the Vine and we are the branches! God cares for us and He trims where it is needed and he cuts off where that is needed. Verse 4 is important: "Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me."
We CANNOT do it on our own! We have to have Jesus beside us and in us to share His Story! Jesus is the Way the Truth and the Life and no man comes to the Father, but by and through Him! Go ahead and read verse 5, which says almost the same thing.
Verse 7 - if you are in Christ Jesus - ask and it shall be given. Look at verse 11 - complete joy - as can only come from Jesus!
Memorize verses 9 through 11 and pray them daily. Remain in His love and He will remain in you and your JOY will be complete!
Hope to see you tomorrow at church, but if not, have a blessed day!
Love and prayers!

Friday, November 9th - Proverbs 6:12-15
Good Morning!
It's Friday! Can you believe it? The entire first week of November is gone! Thanksgiving in two weeks and then Christmas and then a New Year! It seems like time is flying by much faster than it used to - am I getting old? LOL! Either way, today is a whole new day and I will use it to serve and worship my God! How about you?
Lisa's tweet: LMRMinistries: Proverbs 6:12-15 ~ Going down a wrong path can seem "fun" ..for a minute. God's way leads to success and unimaginable freedom...that lasts for eternity
As we discussed on Tuesday night, the broad road leads to destruction. It can seem very easy and fun, but the end result is pain and destruction. God's way or the narrow road is difficult at times, but the end result is eternal life with Him. As Lisa wrote, God's Way leads to success and unimaginable freedom. It is amazing!
Yes, there are parts of my life that I still struggle and I continually give them up to Him, but I try and walk everyday in His steps and allow Him to have control. I have been a Christian almost all my life and I still have "those days". God is good and continues to pick me up and tell me that He is with me and I am His!
How will you spend this day - Friday, November 9th, 2012? As for me and my house - we choose God's way!
Blessings!

Thursday, November 8th - Luke 11:9,10
Good Evening,
What a day, but rewarding just the same. The weather is suppose to turn a little warmer this weekend and I am looking forward to that! How about you?
Lisa's tweet: LMRMinistries: Luke 11:1-12 ~ When you feel lost, where do you turn? Talking to God in prayer works; you have to do your part. Ask/Seek/Knock ~ He answers
I love this passage and especially the Lord's Prayer at the beginning and then verses 9 and 10. Have you ever really looked at the Lord's Prayer? It covers everything! Praise - Worship - Supplication - Thanksgiving - the physical - the spiritual! It is everything we need. Think about it as you pray!
As for verses 9 and 10, these are a promise. As Lisa says, we have to do our part as well. We have to have a relationship with Him in order to be able to ask and to seek His will for our lives and to knock and ask for guidance, etc. We have to be in His Word daily and also have a good prayer life. This is how we get through each and every day! It is important!
Memorize verse 9 and 10 and hide them in your heart!
Talk to you tomorrow!
Love and prayers,
Cheri Lynn

Wednesday, November 7th - Proverbs 1:27-31
Good Morning!
Did you get to come to GEMS last night? It was good and the meal was wonderful! I wasn't feeling on top of my game last night, but through the fellowship with my GEMS and Lisa's teaching and some prayer, it was a great evening!
Proverbs 1:27-31 kind of reflects Matthew 7:13-15. Read both passages and then look at the verses in Matthew: Jesus said: "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it."
Jesus did not say it would be easy to follow Him, but it is totally worth it! I honestly do not know how people make it each and every day without Him. I couldn't!
Take a look at verse 33: But whoever listens to me will live in safety and be at ease, without fear of harm." That is how I want to live! How about you? Listening to the Word of God and knowing it in my heart is how I will stay on the narrow path and one day be ushered into the Throne Room of God! I can't wait!
Memorize verse 33 of Proverbs 1 and hide it in your heart!
Have a great day!
Love and prayers,
Cheri Lynn

Thursday, November 1st - Titus 2:11-14
Good Evening!
The first day of November! Wow! I had a very busy day - how about you? Either way, I hope it was a good day for you and yours.
Lisa's tweet: LMRMinistries: Titus 2:11-14 ~ We have salvation because of God's grace. The same power that saved us gives us strength to live holy lives. Boldly ask for strength
This passage pretty much gives us our marching orders! We have been saved by God's grace. It teaches us to say "NO" to ungodliness and worldly passions. We are to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives while we wait for the return of Jesus Christ. HE redeemed us from all wickedness. We are HIS!!
If you look at verse 15, we are asked or rather told to teach these things - to encourage and rebuke with authority.
We have our orders, let us carry them out until the day Jesus Christ returns! Let's encourage one another as well and share the Gospel with all those that cross our path.
One more thing - As we enter November - let's start a journal of Thanksgiving and each day, write something that you are thankful for and then re-read it at the end of November and see what God has done in your life!
November 1st: I am thankful for my sisters at GEMS and for the opportunity to minister through the Blog and GEMS nights!
Love and prayers!
