Day 1

Soul De-toxing = getting the toxins out.  The question of the day over at Soul Detox – You Version is this:

How have your toxic thoughts negatively affected your life and relationships?

via Proverbs 4 HCSB | YouVersion.com.

The reading passage for today is Proverbs 4.

If you will when you have completed your reading, comment the verses the HOLY SPIRIT highlighted for you today.

These are mine:

23Guard your heart above all else, for it is the source of life.
24Don’t let your mouth speak dishonestly, and don’t let your lips talk deviously.

via Proverbs 4 HCSB | YouVersion.com.

Guard my heart. 

Okay. That means standing sentry over what comes into my soul by way of my senses. I see the challenge there. five-sensesAnd I see without the HOLY SPIRIT’s help, I’m sunk. How about you?

Don’t let my mouth speak dishonestly. I get that. And I might as well be truthful here with you :) The HOLY SPIRIT cured me of willful lying many years ago. If I tell you an untruth, it will for sure be through ignorance.  I promise you that!

Don’t let the lips talk deviously. A worthy challenge and for sure is a factor in detoxing our souls!  Reminds me of this:

Philippians 4:8 21st Century King James Version (KJ21)

8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report, if there be any virtue and if there be any praise, think on these things.

via Philippians 4:8 KJ21 – Finally, brethren, whatsoever things – Bible Gateway.

So when I think THIS way, what comes from my lips for sure will NOT be devious. 

That’s plenty to chew on today — don’t you think?

Any of you IN enough to comment your ‘highlights’ for today?

See you tomorrow – ABBA willing!

Just a late Monday afternoon hello.

A good day here at the Thompson house.  Looking forward to Hubby coming home.

Got my treadmill time in – JESUS and me talk time; did some blog reading; some blog posting at KAT’s MEOWS; some Facebook reading – saw some sad things there; some re-boarding at Pinterest; a little emailing; and now it’s time to pull some supper ideas together and load of laundry wouldn’t hurt.  :)

Remember Bamako? It’s in Mali, West Africa. Christian Talk Radio as I type are talking about Mali. I am more and more convinced that praying for Bamako and all of Mali is a GOD thing.  I hope you are joining me in that praying. And I hope you are praying for the USA as well.

We are thinking of you as this year of 2012 wanes its way to the place of memories. Some we will hold fondly; others will bring tears and praise that HE brought us through!

No home and no heart is perfect but let us give a good faith effort to make both our hearts and our homes places where JESUS will feel welcomed and actually enjoy living with us today and all of 2013.

Luke 12: 33  . . . make for yourselves purses that don’t wear out, riches in heaven that never fail, where no burglar comes near, where no moth destroys. 34 For where your wealth is, there your heart will be also.

35 “Be dressed for action and have your lamps lit,

Happy, Holy New Year!

a you tube for you this 11th day of December 2012.

Have we considered that Joseph was just as much chosen by ABBA for JESUS as was Mary?

ABBA, thank You for knowing well and without flaw the servants to choose for specific works. Thank You for choosing our works for JESUS’ glory and our good. Thank You for yesterday’s good surgery report for Sheila; I ask for a steady and complete recovery for her. Thank You for good news received yesterday from others too. Thank You for the plans you have for us. Thank You for this season; I pray this year, ABBA, more of my celebrating will be holy and honorable. I pray to give the gift of Your Gospel wrapped in love, righteousness, peace and the forgiveness of JESUS the CHRIST to family, friends and passersby. And I am reminded in this moment of Sharron – You know her needs, You know the strength she requires this day for a safe and productive day; and it is for that I pray for her today. And others are coming to mind: Perry, Rosemary, Janet, Carol, Pam K, Pam M, Kerri, Cynthia, Betty, Brenda and You know there are others – precious and beloved folks, asking for their strength to be meet for this day, lavished with Your Presence, LORD JESUS, so tender, comforting and wise. Thank You, HOLY SPIRIT, for hearing and answering in JESUS name.
