The Best Day of My Life

By Gregory M. Lousig-Nont, Ph.D.


Today, when I awoke, I suddenly realized that this is the best day of my life, ever!

There were times when I wondered if I would make it to today; but I did! And because I did I'm going to celebrate!

Today, I'm going to celebrate what an unbelievable life I have had so far: the accomplishments, the many blessings, and, yes, even the hardships because they have served to make me stronger.

I will go through this day with my head held high and a happy heart. I will marvel at God's seemingly simple gifts: the morning dew, the sun, the clouds, the trees, the flowers, the birds. Today, none of these miraculous creations will escape my notice.

Today, I will share my excitement for life with other people. I'll make someone smile. I'll go out of my way to perform an unexpected act of kindness for someone I don't even know. Today, I'll give a sincere compliment to someone who seems down. I'll tell a child how special he is, and I'll tell someone I love just how deeply I care for her and how much she means to me.

Today is the day I quit worrying about what I don't have and start being grateful for all the wonderful things God has already given me. I'll remember that to worry is just a waste of time because my faith in God and his Divine Plan ensures everything will be just fine.

And tonight, before I go to bed, I'll go outside and raise my eyes to the heavens. I will stand in awe at the beauty of the stars and the moon, and I will praise God for these magnificent treasures.

As the day ends and I lay my head down on my pillow, I will thank the Almighty for the best day of my life. And I will sleep the sleep of a contented child, excited with expectation because I know tomorrow is going to be the best day of my life, ever!

                       God is so good.

Janet thank-you for this wonderful uplifting devotional.  It is very helpful this morning.

Liz.  the poem you posted last night is exactly what I needed to read to inspire me today.  Thank-you so much for it.

I was up at 6 a.m. today to get Chris off to his new job at the library.  Now I have time to peruse C.P. and catch up with posts I have missed.

The Lord bless you all.

There is no other God that can deliver after this sort.(Dan 3:29)

The ways of life are supremely mysterious and we must not hope to fathom them this side of Paradise.

One thing is certain - God does not permit a burden to come to us without having provided strength sufficient to carry it.

Your life task is to demonstrate what miracles God can work through a man's triumph over the seemingly insurmountable. If your burden is supremely heavy it is evidence that God has superior confidence in you and that He is permitting you to undertake a task of particular significance .  He trusts you to win.

        God's requirements are met by God's enablings.

Hi, friends,

Today I have the opportunity to work with a fine coworker who lives in Ohio. I awakened excited at the prospects of working with him and, later, meeting his fine wife. In that regard, I thoroughly enjoyed your devotional, Janet. Life truly is what we make of it.

I found this quote very inspirational, as well. Hope y'all enjoy it.


Your Recycling Miracle

The first time I ever landed in New York City, it was at LaGuardia Airport. And as I chatted with the folks who met my plane, they told me something I wasn't sure I wanted to know. They said, "You know, Ron, your plane just landed on the garbage of New York City." Excuse me? Well, they explained to me that LaGuardia Airport is built on landfill that extends out into Jamaica Bay. Landfill - as in the garbage of New York. Well, so far none of those runways has sunk into the bay. It's pretty amazing what engineers can do with our garbage, huh?

Actually, I believe that God invented recycling. See, He has this amazing ability to recycle the garbage of our lives into something beautiful, something useful, something that can really make a difference. It happens through a process that God describes in our word for today from the Word of God. It's in 2 Corinthians 1, beginning at verse 3.  "Praise be to the God and Father of our
Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God." Now, obviously, you can never experience God's comfort without some things in your life that are uncomfortable. And the greater the discomfort, the more His comfort means to
you, maybe the deeper you experience it.

Through the troubles, we learn compassion. Through the trash, we develop a sensitivity to other wounded people - if we surrender our pain and our wounds and our memories to the God of all comfort. Now, if we hang onto our wounds, they will just turn into the rotting stench of bitterness and anger and negativity. It's either recycled by God or rotting inside you.

Last Sunday, my friend Alan was honored by our church for 45 years of working with the boys of the church. Can you imagine 45 years? Let's see, how old was I when he started? Anyway, later his wife told us why he had dedicated his life to being there for boys. Alan's dad apparently had one kind of relationship with his sons - work, and that was it! And Alan carried the hurt of having a Dad who just didn't take time with him. That hurt could have turned into stinking trash in Alan's heart. But he brought it to Jesus, and Jesus recycled that wound into something beautiful - a commitment to be there for his own sons and for other boys who didn't have the attention of a father.

Now, God's recycling miracle heals a wound from the past by using it to sensitize you to people with that same kind of wound. By God's grace, you commit your life to doing for others what wasn't done for you instead of repeating that mistake and scarring another generation. Because of what you've been through, you could become a bitter, self-centered, angry person or you could let Jesus
recycle it into compassion. You're uniquely equipped to help heal people who have the same kind of wound you do. If you'll let the "Father of compassion, the God of all comfort" have the pain of your past.

I thought it was amazing that human engineers could make an airport out of garbage. But what's really amazing is what the Master Engineer can make out of the garbage of our lives - Jesus turns the bleeding into a blessing, the garbage into gold, and the hurter into a healer!

…..Ron Hutchcraft ("A Word With You")

...his compassions fail not.  They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.

Good morning all,

    Good morning to you Jenny..

    Good morning to you Ruth Ann, Hope your work day is great..

Hello Ruth Ann...Oh thank-you, I really needed that.God is good!

Alma.  I know how you feel.  I am missing my little Sunday doggie friend so much.  I am alone most of the time lately and some nights also.  I too get quite nervous in the house at night. Sunday was my little guard and true companion.  ...and before her my wonderful Piquet dog.  Oh dear, I am crying again. God bless you and comfort you dear sister. :-*

Papa John...Hello, when you come in.  Hope you are enjoying yourself. Our Heavenly Father blesses your life because you are such a blessing to others, including me.  Thank-you for being you.

Love you all.

Good Morning!

It's a lovely day here in Guelph. 

I'm going to get my Avon packed and delivered and then maybe try to finish straightening out my garden.  I've getting rid of the raspberry canes that are not in my rows and then that will make it possible to walk around my blackberries (Jack's blackberries) easier.  I'm looking for a nice harvest of blackberries next year as there are many, many new canes coming up for then.

How nice to come in here and read all the nice inspirational thoughts.  Thanks everyone for your "offerings"!

Talk to you in a little while!

Yes, God is So-o-o-o-o Good!

I hope and pray that I am magnifying Janet's wonderful post and not taking from it.

‘Happy is that people, whose God is the Lord.’

Psalm 144 Verse 15

This verse caught my attention when reading it and I started to ponder what happiness meant for me as an individual and also what it meant for others.

Is happiness simply the realisation of our dreams and desires?

In my early ‘teens’ happiness meant scoring the winning goal for my football team or shooting a few ‘three pointers’ in a basketball match. My life revolved around sport and though I hated losing, I felt more disappointment at a match being abandoned due to bad weather than I did if I played and finished on the losing side.

My early twenties brought thoughts of finding the right girl, settling down, getting married, having children and a house that I could call my own.

Most of these things happened in my life yet ‘real happiness’ eluded me for some reason. It was always something I was striving for, yet never able to attain.

A newer car, a bigger house, a garage with a workshop, a holiday abroad or employment that I really enjoyed. These things seemed to be just around the corner and one day I would truly be satisfied. I aimed for the attainment of such things and I was convinced that having all these things would make me happy and contented.

I was wrong.

I had been deluded.

It seemed that I had an appetite for vanity that always left me wanting.

My idea of happiness changed when I changed and became a Christian. The first few months of my Christian walk brought happiness beyond anything I could ever have imagined. Jesus filled a great void in my life and for a while I could do no wrong.

It would not be long though before vanity and pride would rear their ugly heads!

I remember a short while after I was converted that a strong desire for the ministry invaded my every waking moment. I dreamed of being the greatest preacher that this country has ever known. I would fill churches no matter where I preached. Invitations would flood in and sadly I would have to turn many away, such would be my popularity.

My reputation would spread across the Atlantic and to other foreign lands and churches would beg me to come and proclaim the Good News to them. Hundreds, no thousands would be saved, however I would be smart enough not to allow pride to spoil the party. I would have great boldness in proclaiming the Truth and every single day would be filled with joy.

If only God would make me great!

Thankfully His ways are not my ways.

The reality was totally different!

I preached to a congregation of nine people at the Prayer Meeting in the village of Melbost, Isle of Lewis and I was terrified!! I actually felt sorry for the people in front of me who had to listen to me.

Many a year has past since then. I have changed and so have my views on happiness.

There are things that I pray for on a daily basis for myself.

I always pray for wisdom and I always pray for knowledge. I pray for many other things as well, including those who are kind enough to read what I write here on this website.

More and more recently I have been praying for one other thing in my life. That is that today I would enjoy my God. This is a petition I believe that has come about through various experiences that I have gone through.

As I sit and write this I can honestly say that I am truly happy with my lot this day.

Have all my pains, debts, fears disappeared?

NO!!

So I can say that I am happy?

Well I’m not exactly sure where or how to begin. The marvel of being a new creation in Christ Jesus was as fresh to my soul this morning as it was the day I first believed. The sins that so often weigh me down are washed clean in the blood of the Lamb.

As Christians it is always true that if we repent then God forgives our sins and that is wonderful. Yet we are not always AWARE of ‘being clean!’ We ask for forgiveness and pardon, and more often than not we acknowledge with our minds that God has forgiven us all our sins, yet we do not FEEL any different, we do not FEEL clean.

We go through the motions yet we lack the effect.

Many a day is spoiled in my Christian walk simply because I place more emphasis on my feelings than on faith. I like everyone else in this world want to experience the ‘feel good factor.’

Self and Satan may want me to look to my feelings but God wants me to face the facts of a crucified Christ and a redemption purchased through His precious blood. It is only if and when I fully accept Christ’s finished work and His atonement for my sins by faith that these ‘good feelings’ flood my soul. 

I enjoy God today by revelling in what He has done for a sinner like me. I enjoy God for His comfort when times are hard. I enjoy God for the shelter He provides from the raging storms that so often afflict my soul. I enjoy God for the way in which He leads me day-by-day and step-by-step. I enjoy God as I converse with Him throughout each day and sometimes even through the night watches.

I enjoy God for the way in which He delivers me from the troubles and trials which daily beset me. I enjoy God for the peace He pours into my soul even when my situation seems hopeless. I enjoy God as I watch Him make crooked paths straight and rough places smooth. I enjoy God as He lifts me up when I have fallen.

I enjoy God because He never gives up on me despite all my faults and failings. I enjoy God because He never lets me down though I let Him down each day. I enjoy God because what I am experiencing now is but for a short period of time and is tainted with sin. The day will come when I shall see Him as He is and when that day comes it will never end.

I enjoy the reality of God in my life today more than anything else. My happiness is dependant not on my circumstances but on my relationship with Him. The more of God I have in my life the happier I am and today I have an yearning for more.

Now my friend I pray for your happiness.

Your brother in Christ

Well, in just a couple of hours I'll be meeting with the pastor of our church.  He's in his early forties, and apparently he likes to get together with me to talk over things.  I guess I'm the "senior minister" or something.  Anyway, it's always a good time, so we sort of make an attempt to do it every Tuesday at a coffee shop called "Sacred Grounds!"  It's really about the best all-around coffee shop in the area.

Pat

Ohh, I'm so glad I came back and checked New Every Morning before leaving the house.  What a feast today, and now your lovely thoughts, Iain!  Thanks so much.  I pray for you daily, Iain over there on that lovely Isle of Lewis.

Hope you remember to take off your shoes Al.

I'll be praying for your meeting bro.

Janet

Good morning!  Al, there is a little coffee shop in Eagle River, Alaska, called Sacred Grounds, too.  I thought it was a cute name.  Good thought, Iain, to take off their shoes!  ;)

I have more stuff to get done today, as a friend called me last night to remind me that I signed up to go to a ladies' retreat in Wichita this Friday and Saturday.  That was enough to get me on the ball to get some things done that I have to do this week!

Iain, it is so good to read your cheerful post today.  God bless you, brother.

Hi, Jenny!  Hope it warms up some for you today.  It is rainy and cool here, we got a nice rain last night.

Ruth Ann, I hope you have a great day today.  You are one busy lady!

Alma, I'm so sorry about your dear dog.  Our little Cookie had puppies while we were away, and we haven't located them yet.  I hope they stayed safe and warm through the rainy night.  We left the garage door up a bit so she could have them in there, but she had her own ideas, I guess.

Hi, Pat!  Happy Avon-ing! 

See you nice folks later, gotta get busy!

Hi everyone.  Our rain is over and once again we have a glorious day.  The yards look like it is spring rather than fall. 

Today is Tuesday and therefore this afternoon I will go to the church to sing with and play for the adult day-care folks.  Always a highlight of my week. 

Janet, I really appreciated your devotional thoughts this morning.  How often we overlook the many blessings we have surrounding us everywhere we look. 

Iain, nice to see you posting this morning and your devotional thoughts are so true.  Hope you are feeling much better by now.  Are you still working on your "Apples of Gold" webpage?  I have a link to it on our church webpage from our devotional resources page.  I just now clicked on it and see you have updated your site today.

Janet, it sounds like you haven't slowed down any since getting back from your trip.  Hope you find the puppies.  Beth said you were taking here one remaining puppy. 

Al, I am sure the younger minister appreciate your insights and just having someone who will minister to him. 

Alma, sorry about the lose of your wonderful companion.  I know it leaves a big void.  Will you be getting a new puppy when the time is right?

Ruth Ann, very interesting posting.  Glad you had such a nice experience with your co-worker.  I remember when I was working that it was always a special occasion when I could meet face-to-face with a co-worker from another office. 

Pat, hope you don't overdo in your garden today. 

Jenny, how long has your son been working at this new job in the library?

Guess I had better get busy on some other projects today as the morning is quickly passing.

What uplifting readings from Janet, Ruth Ann and Iain!  We needed that with all the sadness report yesterday.  Just think, all that sadness will bring glory to God!  

Another bright, sunny, dry day in Indiana.  No yard mowing this week.  Too dry.  Kind of cold, too.  I have the solar heat on again.  No heat needed at night or A/C during the day!  Love it!!!

Tonight is our Small Groups meeting for '40 Days of Purpose'.  It is refreshing to read the words again that I read last year.  New meaning.  

I am praying that everyone has a God-filled day.

Hi, Nards!!! You posted while I was composing!!!  Praise God for no further damage in your area.

Patricks organs are now gone to new lives, and the service will be thursday
the whole of the arrangements have not gone well...divoced mom and dadfrom many miles apart,kids from 3 familes plus half sisters, and greed is abounding through it all, my wife had to stay
away from it or there would be more problems...how can they act like that at such a time as this?
and there are hard feelings in abundance about the arragements
of it all.....so we can only keep praying about the situation ....also i have not been feeling to well
the last week with terrible stomache cramps....so if you have another extra prayer or two....
thank you
i have been reading psalm 33 as the Lord seem to lead me to it....
Its giving me some comfort through it all so I thought i'd post it here for you to
enjoy again......

                                      Psalm 33


1  Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright.

2  Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.

3  Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.

4  For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done in truth.

5  He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD.

6  By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.

7  He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses.

8  Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.

9  For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.

10  The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect.

11  The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.

12  Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.

13  The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men.

14  From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth.

15  He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works.

16  There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.

17  An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.

18  Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;

19  To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.

20  Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he is our help and our shield.

21  For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.

                                                                               this tells it all......Beautiful !

Jerry, I feel your pain and through it all ; I feel how our Heavenly Father is holding
you in HIS arms.

I will keep you in my prayers.

It was comforting to come back and hear such up lifting words --words that I needed
to hear.

Our company has to handle another USAIR bankruptcy which has thrown our family business economics
in a tailspin and something else happened to set my family life into a tailspin and this
morning when I awoke and thought how do I get through today ---a thought came to
mind.

The good Lord must have a wonderful future for me because the devil is sticking me with
all of these doubts and fears to take my peace away from the Lord...

My thoughts immediately turn to the LORD  and cried out that I am holding HIM to HIS
promises to us all who will believe by faith that HE will help us through.

That is why Janet and others who posted this morning have refreshed me and strengthen my faith when I needed it the most.

Please keep me and my family in your thoughts and prayers.

Take care and as always,

Love in Christ,

Joyce


Pat

Jerry, thanks for the update.

What turmoil though that you are having to go through.  That is just so sad.  I'm so sorry.  I know that there are many on here who will be lifting you up before the Lord and praying that you will experience His presence at this sad time.


Hi Joyce!   Great to see you.  Did you ever get internet access at home?


Etta Sue, it was kind of chilly here today as well.  I still have lots to do out there in the garden to tidy up before winter.



How wonderful to see Iain here today.  I always receive such a blessing from reading your posts, Iain.

hi Pat,

My daughter moved from NC into our Penna. home with her husband and
she is setting up internet on her puter.

Probably will get to use it when I get up there.
I , also, have a "walking buddy" now along with her new puppy.

Weather is so "crazy" on the east coast --we managed to avoid damage
in NJ but Penna. weather was bad --lot of damage with the floods.

Keep us in your prayers.

Take care and as always,

Love in Christ,

Revival: The Fire Falls

And to the angel of the church in Sardis write, "These things says He
who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars: 'I know your
works, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead.'" 
--Revelation 3:1-2

For a long time I have believed that truth, to be understood, must be
lived; that Bible doctrine is wholly ineffective until it has been
digested and assimilated by the total life....

We must be willing to obey if we would know the true inner meaning
of the teachings of Christ and the apostles. I believe this view
prevailed in every revival that ever came to the church during her
long history. Indeed a revived church may be distinguished from a
dead one by the attitude of its members toward the truth. The dead
church holds to the shell of truth without surrendering the will to
it, while the church that wills to do God's will is immediately
blessed with a visitation of spiritual powers.

Theological facts are like the altar of Elijah on Carmel before the
fire came, correct, properly laid out, but altogether cold. When the
heart makes the ultimate surrender, the fire falls and true facts
are transmuted into spiritual truth that transforms, enlightens,
sanctifies. The church or the individual that is Bible taught
without being Spirit taught (and there are many of them) has simply
failed to see that truth lies deeper than the theological statement
of it.  That Incredible Christian, 92-94.

"Lord, send the fire today. Amen."

Hi everyone:

Well, after being away for a few days, I sure have a lot of C.P. reading to catch up on.  I am so sorry to read of losses that some of you have experienced....both with family, and with pets.  I pray that the emptiness that you feel in your hearts will soon mend.

Norm and I spent a few days in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.  It was a great trip, with "Canadian Christian Tours".  There were 3 buses, ... and 158  on the three buses.

We had 3 hours to spend at a wonderful shopping centre....and when I went to pay for some purchases, my wallet was missing!!  I thought for sure I had lost it, the credit cards and I.D. was what I was concerned about the most., however, when we got back to the hotel, it was under a chair.  It had somehow fallen out of my purse.  I was very thankful to find my wallet and all the contents...but VERY sorry to spend 3 hours at a shopping centre....WITH NO MONEY!!!...LOL

This note is short....time to get supper on the table., so I'll check back in a little later.

Nice that Janet, Pat and Ruthie got to meet one another.

Wow!  What a great day!  The devotional this morning, Iain's wonderful treatise on true happiness, Chris' wonderful words from Tozer - all these and more!  Iain must have been posting while I was still composing this morning, so I didn't even see that until much later.

Dear Brother Iain - we have a pop song over here from a few years back called "Happiness Is." But the things stated in the song just don't do it.  Happiness is indeed knowing and relating to Jesus Christ our living Lord.  So why, then, do we not persue that happiness?  Why do we persue so many other things instead?  Oh Father, reveal Yourself to our souls!  Oh Father, give us understanding of Who and What You are.  Amen.

QuoteBy Janet~I will go through this day with my head held high and a happy heart. I will marvel at God's seemingly simple gifts: the morning dew, the sun, the clouds, the trees, the flowers, the birds. Today, none of these miraculous creations will escape my notice.

I will do this too, Janet.  I loved the devotion this morning.  What a breath of fresh air. 

Hi everyone! ;D

I have been very busy.  What do you expect from a mother of 4 and everyone of them has something going on in their little lives. hehehe... what a joy it is to raise these kids.

Alma, nice picture.  I guess most of us have had the sad experience of losing a pet, like a dog.  Our latest one was Wrinkles whom we lost a few years ago.

Jenny, good to read your posts.  I slipped in here this afternoon.  We left for shopping this morning and had lunch at one of the malls.  I opened the posts on line and then went off line.  Now I am looking at them again.  After while I will go back on line and post.

And I’m glad to see so many of you today.  Each night Cornelia and I continue with our daily Bible reading.  Last year during this period of time I was in the hospital and during part of that time I was being kept going by a respirator and not conscious of where I was.  When I did get home we read double until we had caught up.  We are almost through with the Old Testament reading right now in Zechariah.  We find a blessing wherever we happen to be reading in the word of God.

Luke 1:30-35
30   But the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God.
31   You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus.
32   He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David,
33   and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end."
34   "How will this be," Mary asked the angel, "since I am a virgin?"
35   The angel answered, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God.
(NIV)

Last Saturday night, Ruthie and I went to the Bill Gaither concert in Toronto and this was one of the songs that night...







Till the Storm Passes By[/size][/color]
(Click to hear music)

Words and Music by Mosie Lister

Mark 4:39
"And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea,
Peace be still.  And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm."




In the dark of the midnight have I oft hid my face,
While the storm howl above me, and there's no hiding place.
'Mid the crash of the thunder, Precious Lord, hear my cry,
Keep me safe till the storm passes by.

Chorus
Till the storm passes over, till the thunder sounds no more,
Till the clouds roll forever from the sky;
Hold me fast, let me stand in the hollow of Thy hand,
Keep me safe till the storm passes by.


Many times Satan whispered, "There is no need to try,
For there's no end of sorrow, there's no hope by and by"
But I know Thou art with me, and tomorrow I'll rise
Where the storms never darken the skies.


Chorus
Till the storm passes over, till the thunder sounds no more,
Till the clouds roll forever from the sky;
Hold me fast, let me stand in the hollow of Thy hand,
Keep me safe till the storm passes by.


When the long night has ended and the storms come no more,
Let me stand in Thy presence on the bright peaceful shore;
In that land where the tempest, never comes, Lord, may I
Dwell with Thee when the storm passes by.


Chorus
Till the storm passes over, till the thunder sounds no more,
Till the clouds roll forever from the sky;
Hold me fast, let me stand in the hollow of Thy hand,
Keep me safe till the storm passes by.
