I Was Robbed!!

          If you are robbed something is taken from you.  What is it called when you give something away, willingly or not?  I am guessing that the logical response to this would be dependent on what is being given.  To pin point what the “Giver” is giving, I will start with Joy.
          How do you give joy away?  What happens if you give your joy away?   First of all, Joy is given to you from the Lord.  It is a feeling of peace and gladness from being one with Christ.  Why would you want to give that awesome gift away?  So many people let circumstances and people get them down.  They become discouraged, depressed, angry and upset.  But, I am here to tell you that you don’t have to feel that way.  The Lord gave us joy.  John 15:11 says, “These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full.”  Knowing this, why would we allow other people or troubling times to upset us?  We don’t have to allow “Joy-suckers” to win.  It is entirely up to us whether we let our feelings take over or if we stick with what God gifted us with and allow Him to work in us despite what we come up against,
          Okay “Givers”, what else do we give away all the time that is harmful to our spirit?  We give away our tenderheartedness.  We allow our past experiences rule how we react to new situations.  Don’t allow what you’ve been through harden your heart.  The Lord gifted us with kindness.  He wants us to be there for people even when it is hard.  “Give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.”  Luke 6:38.  If we are not there for others in their times of need, how can we expect God to bless us when we need it?  We want to be blessings to others.  God loves a cheerful giver.  Just make sure you are giving from your heart.
         
P.S.
    We have a choice in how our day will progress.  No matter what happens remember the peace of Christ in you.  God Bless!!

"The Pink Tornado"

            I had a great morning.   I went to church.   Praised God! Said my Hallelujahs and Amen’s and came home.   I was in very good spirits, until I spied my fiancé sitting there watching TV.   All of a sudden I just started running that flapper and couldn’t stop.   Let me rephrase I was not able to stop because I felt justified at the time in what I was saying.   I really hurt his feelings and I instantly felt bad and apologized.               However, that was not the end of things.   I just was so easily irritated today, for no apparent reason.   It was like this battle was raging in my mouth and my tongue lost.   We had another service this evening at church and at the end one of our guest preachers started talking about the power of words and the power of the tongue.             I proved earlier in the day and on many other days, how hurtful I could be with just a word.   My fiancé often will tell me, “There you go, that pink tornado is on the loose again.”   So, for the last

"Like A Moth to A Flame"

                          I have an issue.   Sounds funny, but the reality is that I know I am not the only one.   Actually to be completely honest I have more than one problem, just like so many other people.   Everyone has problems.   It is identifying them, pinpointing the cracks in your defense and dealing with them in a Godly way that really matters.             Out of my many problems/issues, I wanted to talk about my Moth to a Flame syndrome.   Yep, this is Krissycorrect terminology.   Acronym MTAF.   You might wonder, “What is MTAF?” I am going to break this down just like they would on WebMD: OVERVIEW & FACTS: Moth to a Flame Syndrome, A.K.A MTAF, is a disorder common to both men and women.   It occurs when people are attracted to people that are not good for them spiritually and/or in the flesh. In this attraction they make decisions to be involved romantically before they are married.   It is brought on by the human response of excitement, danger, and for women, “the
