When Opportunity knocks

~ Patricia Fagan ~ Leave a comment

There are opportunities that show up in life on occasion. Be alert, seize the day and be prepared to take advantage of those missed possibilities. See God’s vision for a life full of abundance. Take charge and trust in God to point the way. Challenges will only light your way to truth and new found wisdom.

When opportunity knocks, open the door and invite it into your life. Take advantage of what is presented to you as a gift from God above.

“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to  you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. “

Matthew 7:7-8

Sometimes in life, you feel like calling it quits. It’s so easy to want to close your eyes and pretend all these things you have to do just don’t exist.

CONSUMED BY MY THOUGHTS

animated-newspaper-image-0025 This world is moving faster and faster, day by day. Every time you turn on the news, or read a newspaper, there is always some tragedy taking place around our world. We never know what to expect as we hold our breath daily, praying for good news.

Wars and rumors of wars have plagued our existence since the beginning of time. Climate change talks with promises but no real solutions. Cancer, diabetes and other diseases kills people daily. Mass shootings are becoming the norm and threaten stability in our nation. Terrorism keeps us in a state of fear. Now on our home soil, gun violence destroys innocent lives and their families for years to come.

In this time and in periods of stress, one must exercise caution. God did say in the Word that, “there will be trials and tribulation.” Life can be a struggle, however, we must strive to move forward  in spite of daily negative events. We must stand firm and trust God to assist us through these turbulent times. Pray for those who are suffering.

In conclusion: “Trust in the lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him that he may direct your path.”

Proverbs3:5-6

Thanks In Giving

~ Patricia Fagan ~ 2 Comments

fallAnother year, Another Holiday

A day of thanksgiving and praise

Thanking God for all his love, goodness and tender mercies

Special time shared with family and friends

Feasting on earthly delights

Living in gratitude for all his provisions

And yet remembering and giving to those in need

There is thanks in giving and not always receiving

A time for reflection and praise

Thank you father for the privilege to be called your son or daughter

Sending Jesus to point the way

As undeserving servants we give thanks for your patience,

when we walk in the wrong direction

Thank You Father for your Blessings and inspiration in your word.

Bless and praise the lord and call upon his name
