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.

Monday Magnitude--A Duet of Love

"Yet the Lord will command his loving kindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life." Psalm 42:8

"...He will rejoice over you with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over you with singing." Zephaniah 3:17

I get such a peace and comfort, joy and satisfaction knowing that God who made heaven and earth, listens to me. But the knowledge that HE sings to each of us and command HIS loving kindness towards us is nothing short of supernatural love.

I choose this week to magnify my spiritual ears to listen to the words and music of God into my spirit. And that I will then become a loud speaker for others to hear the love and contentment He has given me. Will you join me in the choir? Leave me a comment if you have joined the worship this week.

September 8 Magnitude Committment

"Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass." Psalms 37:4-5

While meditating upon the Word of God this week, I just really like the idea that we can all make a difference because of our choices throughout the days and weeks.

This week, I choose and invite you to join me as we expand our resolve to keep commitments. We all make promises and commitments and so often forget about them in our busy schedules.

But the Psalmist says that when we delight, have joy, fulfillment and love in the Lord our God, that he will give us our hearts desire--that are the same things on his heart towards us. And when we commit--wow! He will bring them to pass when we keep our focus and trust in Him.

I am committed to expanding myself to be of service to others, to bring joy, peace, and love to a dark world in fear and trepidation.
