"We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they are good for us - they help us learn to be patient. And patience develops strength of character in us and helps us trust God more each time we use it until finally our hope and faith are strong and steady. Then, when that happens, we are able to hold our heads high no matter what happens and know that all is well, for we know how dearly God loves us, and we feel this warm love everywhere within us because God has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with His love." 

"Pleasant words are as a honeycomb, sweet to the mind and healing to the body."

"Deliver me. O Lord, from lying lips and from deceitful tongues." 
~ Psalm 120:2 AMP

Today I am in a seriously horribly horrid mood
. . . you know how in the cartoons when someone is having a rotten day and/or mood they have this small gray cloud
over their head? yeah
. . . well, as walking
to the store this morning
I noted a vulture
coming my way in the sky . . . when I looked up to see where it had gone imagine my surprise to see about 16 of them flying about overhead
!!!! Now when you have vultures
flying about over your head . . . well, there ain't no doubt you have a seriously stinky mood going on!

God, thank You for warning me about the things that can harm me. Help me to heed Your warnings and pay attention to the "checks". Amen
