Gen 12:1-3 Now the Lord said to Abram, “Go from your country and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you. And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed. —Today I was thinking of my childhood & just how blessed I was! We had an awesome family growing up in a small town in MS! We did not have a lot, but one thing we had was a lot of love! My family loved to fish & we had some of the best fish fries ever! Nothing fancy just a lot of good eating, fellowship & fun! We would play outside as long as our parents would allow! What fun! Hope & pray that you can find joy in the small things! Be blessed! Love Mel

The human heart is so broken without God! We need Him more now than ever! I love the story of the two wolves, —“An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life. “A fight is going on inside me,” he said to the boy. “It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil – he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.” He continued, “The other is good – he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside you & inside every person, too.” The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, “Which wolf will win?” The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.”” —Let’s be the ones that pray the most to stop evil!
