Josh Groban's new song "Granted" is an inspirational song to be heard!
Enjoy!

Sowing Good Seeds |
(reworded from Joel Osteen)
Whether you realize it or not, everything you are experiencing in your life today is a direct result of the seeds you’ve sown in your past. Today, you are planting seeds for the harvest in your future. Just as the farmer expects a crop from the seeds he's sown, we can expect a harvest from the seeds we’ve sown, good or bad. That’s why we have to be deliberate about the seeds we are sowing. We have to wake up every day and set our minds on God’s Word. We have to constantly evaluate our actions to make sure we are depositing good seeds so we can reap a good harvest in the future.
Why don’t you take some time right now to ask God to search your heart and mind? See if there are any negative seeds that you’ve sown in the past that need to be uprooted. Be deliberate about planting good in the soil of your heart. Sow good seeds into your future so you can reap the harvest of blessing God has designed for you!
May your "planting" be filled with love, compassion and gratitude!

Pleasant Words (thank you to Joel Osteen) |
Do you look for good things to say about yourself and others? Are you speaking pleasant words? The Bible tells us that pleasant words are healing to the body. Do you need healing in your body—physically? Spiritually? Emotionally? Your words can bring that healing. Start speaking pleasant words—words of life, encouragement and thanksgiving. Guard your heart by making sure you are only listening to pleasant, life-giving words. If there's something on the TV or radio that isn't bringing life to your soul, turn it off. If someone's having a conversation that's not uplifting or productive, don't be a part of it. Choose to meditate on God's Word which is living and active and full of pleasant words. As you choose life by choosing life-giving words, you'll see God's healing operating in your life. You'll feel strength and peace in your soul, and you will move forward into the abundant life God has in store for you!
With joy, peace, healing and praise sent your way today, and everyday!
