Before planting MORE trees in your yard, make sure you are tending to the trees ALREADY in your yard. unknown

We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps. Proverbs 16:9

Don't be selfish; don't try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. Don't look out only for your own interests, but take an interst in others too. Phillippians 2:3-4

"For I know the plans I have for you" says the Lord. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11

Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a loyal spirit within me. Psalms 51:10

"Obey Me, and I will be your God, and you will be My people. Do everything as I say, and all will be well!" Jeremiah 7:23

The Lord God is our sun and our shield. He gives us grace and glory. The Lord will withhold no good thing from those who do what is right. Psalm 84:11

Sometimes we are so busy adding up our troubles that we forget to count our blessings. "I will remember the works of the Lord". Psalms 77:11

The secret of contentment is the realization that Life is a Gift, not a right. "But Godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world and we will carry nothing out". 1 Timothy 6:6-7

The grass may be greener on the other side, but it still has to be mowed. "Be content with such things as you have". Hebrews 13:5

Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves. "...whatever a man soweth, he shall also reap". Galations 6:7

"The joy of the Lord is your strength." Nehemiah 8:10

Thank God for the gift of motherhood today!
