Thoughts for Today

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE

"…Lift up now your eyes and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward;"
(Genesis 13:14, AMP)

TODAY'S WORD from Joel and Victoria

God has a place of victory in store for you today! You may be facing challenges. You may look around you and see impossible circumstances. In the natural, it may look like things won’t ever change, but God is saying today, “Quit looking at your circumstances and look up! Lift up your eyes of faith and look beyond where you are because there is victory as far as the eye can see!

Your enemies may have some power today, but remember, our God is All Powerful! There’s no foe that can stand against Him. Those things you are facing are temporary, but God Almighty is eternal. He’s the God who flung the stars into space. He’s the God who spoke the world into existence. When He said, “Let there be light,” light came at 186,000 miles per second. That’s power and that’s the God we serve.

I encourage you to stand strong today. Keep believing because He is working behind the scenes on your behalf. As you lift your eyes to Him, as you focus on His goodness, He will guide you and direct you in the path of victory in every area of your life!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

Heavenly Father, today I choose to lift up my eyes of faith toward You. Thank You for surrounding me with Your goodness and mercy. Thank You for believing in me and for preparing a good future for me. Fill my heart with Your peace and confidence as I continue to trust You in every area of my life. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Imprinted Promo Products

Daughter #1 has been busy attending drug company conferences and symposium. One of the perks of attending such conferences are the freebies that are given away from leading drug companies. We have at our disposal several duffel bag, ballpens, drinking bottles with carabiner, folders and more -all with imprints of different drug company logos.

I am quite impressed with the imprinted products. Since hubby's family business give out freebies come Christmas I thought that maybe, just maybe, there are imprinted promotional product that are affordable. I browsed the internet for such products and stumbled on www.imprinted.com. The site offers varied products that can be imprinted. Some of the products that really caught my attention are the tool gadgets that can be imprinted. Since hubby's family business is a machine shop handy tools like: screwdrivers, tape measures, tire gauges, flashlights and multi-tools are just perfect! A promotional pocket screw driver cost a mere $0.76! Order more and you can get it for less.

The imprinted mugs and promotional key chain are popular products too. The promotional mugs are not the ordinary mugs as you can choose from a variety of shot glasses, travel mugs, ceramic mug, plastic sports bottle and more. Imprinted dot com has all the answer for your company or personal promotional product.

Renovations!

There are some minor renovations that are ongoing in my house right now. It all started when the refrigerator short-circuited which in turn burnt the unit. There was nothing really wrong with the electric wiring in the house. What went wrong was the cord was bitten by a mouse which in turn exposed the wire thereby causing it spark that eventually burn the unit. By the time I was aware of what was happening one wall of the kitchen was already on fire.

The fire was put out. The ref was a total wreck that I needed to buy a new one. Refrigerators are quite expensive and the choices are so varied it's hard to choose which one was best for the house. In times like this, it would have been a great help if I had some Savings Home Depot coupons. I would have saved a bunch if I had coupons for Home Depot. So I bought the refrigerator and it is now sitting mighty proud in its repainted corner.

The kitchen was looking so nice and fresh with its new paint and new refrigerator. I felt the urge to repaint the utility room too and then the basement. The minor repainting has not stopped for now I want to get some new odds and ends at Target. I wonder how many coupons at Target I need to get a major discount on a LCD TV.

Be a Blessing to Someone Today

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE

"A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed"
(Proverbs 11:25, NIV).

TODAY'S WORD from Joel and Victoria

Do you need strength and encouragement to make it through a difficult time? Maybe you´ve been through a big disappointment or going through a situation right now that´s just not really fair. I challenge you today, don´t sit around feeling sorry for yourself or allow that circumstance to overwhelm you. One of the best things you can do is to go help somebody else in need.

The Bible tells us, "God turned the captivity of Job when he prayed for his friends." Isn´t it interesting, Job didn´t see breakthrough by sitting around feeling sorry for himself. He didn´t get healed when he prayed for himself. And we should pray for ourselves and present our requests to God, but if you really want to see things change, go out and be a blessing to someone else. Look for ways to refresh the people around you and watch how your own soul becomes refreshed in return. As you give, it will be given back to you, pressed down, shaken together and running over in every area of your life!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father in heaven, thank You for Your Word which is life to my soul. Show me ways I can be a blessing to others, help me refresh those around me today. Thank You for refreshing me by Your Spirit. In Jesus´ Name. Amen.
