Monday Magnitues--Miracles Signs & Wonders


In today's challenging world, we hear a familiar saying, "It's going to take a miracle." Yes, that's exactly what much of today's devastating news will take--a miracle. Man doesn't create them without the hand of the Lord involved.

Hebrews 2:4 "God also testified to it by signs, wonders and various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to His will."
Today I choose to expect miracles, signs and wonders to be in my path. I choose to expect the perfect will of God to operate fully in my life distributing what is good, and those things that will help me to grow.

Join with me in expectation from heaven into your life.

Monday Magnitude--Joy To The World



Glory to God, this is the Monday before Christmas, and I am excited for the theme of this week. What a JOY it is to be able to share the JOY I have from the depths of my heart with each of you and those in whom I meet.

We say that Jesus is the reason for the season, but in truth, the message that Jesus brought brings us into a lifestyle of JOY, LOVE, PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARDS ALL MANKIND, and A UNIQUE UNDERSTANDING OF THE FUTURE.

I get JOY when I think about what Jesus has done for me, not just as Christmas, but all through the year.

Today I choose to magnitude--JOY TO THE WORLD, let the SON SHINE IN!

Monday Magnitude--Unique Praise


As the day we celebrate the birth of Christ Jesus, I am reminded daily of Father God's love for mankind. He made each of us with a purpose and unique design for a specific purpose that nobody else can fulfill. We make a difference in how we do things because of our uniqueness.

We may do the same job, have a similar ministry, or family traditions, but how we personally act, react, and support are unique. Our voice patterns are unique. Isn't it amazing with the billions on the planet--each of us is special! My relationship with God is therefore special as well.

Today I choose to magnitude my unique relationship with God.

My worship, praise, and personal relationship is as unique with God as it is to each individual I make a choice to associate with on the earth. Today and every day, I choose to explode my worship and my praise into the heavens and before His throne in thanks and glory.

"Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.!"
Psalm 100:4

Monday Magnitude--Memories


This might seem like a strange Magnitude but it occurred to me that as we grow older the first thing people say they miss is some of their memory. What I have found, as have many of you, we do not have to become "older" to miss some of the memories we once had front and center of the brain.

Recently I was working with a group, and as is my custom, I use myself as an example whenever possible. It let's people know that even though we make it through some tough situations, we are all imperfect but can change.

Then I started writing some of my experiences out. The more I wrote, the more my memories and dreams started to recall really old stories. Laughing to myself, I realized that I may not be "old" but I have probably forgotten more teaching stories than I remember.

Today I choose to magnify memories. They are awesome and wonderful events in life. Many of them we can laugh at now, but at the time wept through, didn't think we would surive, yet somehow did. And then there are those little moments of childish play.

If you haven't started, keep your magnitude of memories alive--start a journal or scrapbook. The more you enter, the more floods to the top of consciousness.

Have a great journey into the corners of your mind (SOMF= smile on my face)

Monday Magnitude--Family and Friends


It is truly beginning to feel like winter in North America and people are bustling about in the holiday season. Perhaps not with the same anticipation as in years past, but I am reminded of some times that life wasn't what we wanted it to be, but we survived just the same. Today's Magnitude is about family and friends.

Holidays come and go. The excitement of Christmas and New Year Celebrations often correspond to months of preparations. I wonder what life would be like if each of us put that much effort into daily experiences.

What would life around you be like if friends, family, co-workers and just people on the street actually took the time and preparation to make today a celebration? Well, I can make a start. I can make a difference in my attitude, my environment to some extent, and certainly in how I speak and act with people.

Today I choose to Magnify my exuberance with family and friends because they do make a difference in my life. I love and appreciate each one, even my cyber friends! You make a real difference in my life. To some, we have become phone buddies and that makes the experience even more rich.

Today, magnify your friends, family members, and then reach out beyond--let's magnify life through love.
