Asking God to remove all our shortcomings and making amends to those we have harmed sets us free to seek the will of God for our lives. Our cheerful faces will begin to reflect the measure of God’s love within us.

God has help for us as we take an inventory of the words that come out of our hearts and are expressed in these ways. In Proverbs, a book of wisdom, we are given several comparisons of good and bad words. This should help us sort out what words to keep and what words to learn to eliminate.

It is not God's plan that we swing between the extremes of being pushy or being passive.

On this Thanksgiving weekend, what are we thankful for?  Yes, tomorrow is officially Thanksgiving Day here in Canada but we are instructed in the Bible to give thanks on more than one day of the year.

Jesus said there is a party in heaven every time one lost soul turns their will and their life over to God.  We are invited to that party.Today we want to live so others can hear and respond to that same party invitation from God.

How many times in a day do we struggle with the impatience?  Things are not happening as quickly as we thought they would.  Someone isn't meeting our needs in the way we thought they should.  We even think God is slow in how and when He responds to our prayers – particularly when we tell Him what we need and expect Him to respond immediately. What to do about it all?
