"The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want!" Psalm 23
Following the Shepherd, I am in need of nothing but what He gives. My cup runneth over! 😊

You are the company you keep. The people closest to you influence your thoughts, habits, and even how you see yourself.

Find those who encourage growth, not gossip or negativity.

People who speak truth with love — not judgment.

To learn how to surround yourself with the right people, comment “SAFE.”

"Now I say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it." Matthew 16: 18
God will always have a church! Abundant life is in Jesus! John 10: 10 No earthly power can separate us from God!

The Kingdom of God is within the saved Christian. Not of this earth. We cannot use politics to win souls to Jesus. He is above the earthly realm and in the spiritual kingdom. We love our neighbors by witnessing the truth of God's infallible Word, winning them to Jesus the... Savior, Christ, Emmanuel, King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Redeemer, Bread of Life, Healer, Wonderful Counselor, Everlasting God, Prince of Peace, Alpha/Omega, Lamb of God, Good Shepherd.

I love history, especially history of The Church. Reading again about Martin Luther and studying my Bible this morning. This scripture explained it all for him and for us..."For by grace you have been saved through faith; and this is not your own doing, it is the gift of God— not because of works, lest any man should boast." Ephesians 2: 8-9

I choose today to celebrate October 31, 1517. Thank you Martin Luther for this, the beginning of the Protestant Reformation, which is still ongoing...pointing people to this from Luther's 95 theses👇

Jesus says..."Come, follow Me." Matthew 16
God has a plan that is bigger than you or I could ever imagine and better than our own dreams and ambitions could achieve. Have you surrendered your dreams to Christ?

Automatic negative thoughts - (ANTs) - have a way of sticking to your subconscious. It’s OK and normal to have negative thoughts from time to time. But if you lean too hard into them or do too much negative self-talk, it can become easier to believe the negativity that’s piling up in your head. Over time, your physical, mental and emotional health can start to decline as a result.

First remember, you are beautifully and wonderfully made. You have a purpose. God loves you!

Psychologists link negative thinking to:

Depression
Anxiety
Constant worry
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)

Treatment that works is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Train your brain to stop ANT and switch to positive thoughts along with changing your thoughts to something else. Try these proven steps:

How do you show your children God's love? By always pursuing patience, gentleness, grace, and steadfastness in our daily lives, we are showing our children who God is through our actions. Don't miss any opportunity to point them back to Christ.

As our children go back to school, please take time to pray for them. The start of this year will be different and challenging for each one. God has given us the blessing of knowledge and learning...only He can fill their minds with the knowledge required to fulfill His calling on their lives.

BACK TO SCHOOL PRAYER
Dear Lord,
We praise you for creating us with a mind to learn and the gift of knowledge.
As our children start a new school year,
I pray that you will keep them in your care.
Send your Spirit to open their minds
to all that is true and beautiful and good.
Help them to see the gifts and talents
you have given them and to use them well.
Help them to grow in knowledge and wisdom.
Help them to be kind to others
and lead others to be kind to them.
Give their educators patience and understanding and help them teach what is just and true.
Send your angels to guide and guard our children and to keep them from all harm.
Open their young hearts to your presence
and enfold them in your peace and protection.
Hold them in the palm of your hand
and bring them home safely at day's end.
In Jesus name, Amen.

Finding joy in everyday situations is a key to happiness and a way to embrace the humor in life. It’s all about having the ability to laugh at yourself and finding the silver lining in any situation.

Laughing at yourself can improve your self-esteem, reduce stress, and enhance your relationships by showing that you are comfortable with your imperfections. It helps you cope with life's challenges and fosters a positive outlook on your experiences.

My mom taught me to laugh at myself by doing the same. In hard times and everyday situations. The other day, I was making Scots shortbread, one of our favorites and thinking of her and grandma Marshall. I've made it many times. Easy recipe, memorized by now, but apparently my mind was on other things when I mixed it up. It's flour and butter mixed then add sugar. Mix and pat into round cake or pie pan. Well, when I took it out of the oven it presented more like hard biscuit. I could hear my mom saying to me..."Kay Ann, what in the world are you making?!" I had a good laugh!😄 (I forgot the sugar.) So after a good laugh and shaking my head, I paid attention and mixed up a correct batch.

Child anger quiz...

Are there moments when your child yells at you in public, hits their sibling, or throws things across the room in frustration? You’re not alone, and it doesn’t mean you’re a bad parent. Studies show that it’s normal for children to experience outbursts from time to time, which is part of their developmental journey.

That said, a child’s anger can sometimes become so intense that it begins to affect their daily life, relationships, and school performance. When aggressive behavior in kids becomes frequent and disruptive, it may signal something deeper than just a phase you can simply “wait out” as a parent.

Some outbursts may be early signs of behavioral problems that call for intervention and tailored child anger management strategies.

**Take this quiz to see if your child’s anger is out of control:

1. Is your child getting into trouble at school or at risk of being suspended or expelled due to anger, aggression, or fighting?

2. Is your child a danger to him/herself or to others?

3. Does your child get excluded from playdates and parties with other children because of problem behavior?

4. Do your child’s angry outbursts disrupt your home life and cause strife in the family?

5. Is your child too old to be having temper tantrums and meltdowns, but still having them?

6. Does your child feel guilty and frustrated because they can’t control their anger?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, it’s likely that your child would benefit from an evaluation. This doesn’t mean you’re a bad parent, and you definitely aren’t alone.

In fact, anger issues are one of the most common reasons why parents take their children to see a child and adolescent psychiatrist. Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
