It was a misunderstanding . . . a
little one . . . that divided them. In fact, it seemed that
no one understood why it separated them . . . but it did. What
happened?
They did not make an effort; they were
done.
On
the other side . . . there are those that stay faithful in their relationships
which the Apostle Paul described: But
you know that Timothy has proved himself, because as a son with his father he
has served with me in the work of the gospel. I hope, therefore, to send him as
soon as I see how things go with me. And I am confident in the Lord that I
myself will come soon. (Philippians 2:22-24).
Relationships . . . good relationships
. . . take work. It does not mean that it is always easy to have good
relationships. There are lessons to be learned, words to say, and
commitments to keep.
Ultimately, our response as a blessing
to others is the key to good relationships.
What does it mean to be blessed?
Put simply, to be blessed is to know
the activity of God. We bless others as we let God work through us to
make a difference in the lives of others. In turn as we bless others, we
are blessed.
Put your effort into the lives of others.
Actively bless others.
Learning with you to KICK START the day . . . as a blessing.

Experience the simplicity and power of breath
praying.
Not consumed . . . because of Hope
Focus
Hope
Hope is
necessary to press on. Without hope, life is dark and becomes impossible. Hope
brings light with the view of possibilities.
Meditate
Yet this I
call to mind
and therefore I have hope:
and therefore I have hope:
Because of
the LORD's great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail. Lamentations 3:21-22
for his compassions never fail. Lamentations 3:21-22
Also:
Pray with expectation.
Breath
prayer: Not consumed . . . because
of Hope.
