It occurred to me this morning that you might like to see how I start my day positively.
To understand what follows, you should read these Bible verses first; Deuteronomy 33:24-27; 2 Corinthians 9:10-11; Revelation 12:11-12; Psalm 112:5 and 7; Job 16:19-22; Job 42:2; Psalm 16:5-6; Psalm 18:35-36; and Isaiah 41:13.
Those are the Promises of God that I've chosen to review each morning this year. I pray them back to God in triumphant hope and acceptance of these treasures.
I do that with praise and thanksgiving statements such as;
YES,,LORD, I want to receive and trust YOU for all these promises YOU have made for us, and for me! My gates will be secure. My strength will equal my days. YOU WILL arrive from Heaven very quickly to be at my side! YOU, O GOD, are my eternal refuge and safe Place. YOU will drive out my enemy and command that he be destroyed!
YOU will supply all the seeds/money I need for the garden, for food, for basic life-needs, and for business-needs! YOU will supply funds for giving to missions/missionaries!!
I will overcome the evil one by the power of the BLOOD YOU shed on the Cross, Lord JESUS! Hallelujah!
YOUR light dawns for me even when things look the darkest!!
YOUR GOOD will come to me as I'm generous and lend freely, and conduct my affairs with justice; my heart will be steadfast in trusting YOU, LORD!
YOU, LORD JESUS, are my Witness & Advocate & Intercessor/ Friend before the FATHER in Heaven!!
LORD can do all things, no plan of YOURS can be thwarted!!! Hallellujah!
YOU have brought me to this time and place in my life, and made my lot secure and set good boundary lines around me. I have a delightful life/inheritance!.
YOU also give me YOUR shield of VICTORY, and sustain me by YOUR HAND, and stoop to make me great, and see that my ankles don't turn - (and no more fractures??!!)
YOU, O LORD, take my hand and say, "Do not fear; I will help you."
WOW-WOW! How wonderful are YOUR precious promises!!

Yesterday that enthusiastic spell of praising God was challenged by a mere little square with black marks in it.
Just after 12 noon my order of 4 toner cartridges for my HP printer arrived from Amazon. Eagerly I unpacked them and tried to put the yellow cartridge into the printer tray. It simply would not fit. It was about the width of my little finger tip too long and too wide for the place it was to go.
I studied the invoice and my order online. Yes, I had chosen the HP cartridges as usual (about once every other year). However, the invoice showed that 3 of them were for a Cannon printer, not an HP. Yet, all were the same shape/design, etc.
I checked all over the amazon site to see if there was a phone # I could call. No, everything about "Support" led to steps online to choose my problem/question. Then steps to apply to return the order.
I could 1) ship it back but that would cost me. I could 2) take it to my nearest Staples store and they would return it for me, but at no cost to me. So I re-packed the box, (but didn't tape it shut in case they would want to examine it). I got myself ready, (sighed about having lunch later), and headed across the city to Staples.
There I was asked for the QR code. Well, I'd seen that, but I am not cell phone savvy, I'd tried to print out on paper but it would NOT print. I printed out the instructions, and left it at that.
The woman at the shipping counter could not & would not ship it without that QR code. I sighed, and said, I'd see if I could figure it out, but I'm NOT phone savvy. I prayed all the way home that the LORD, would help me not to make this a bigger deal than it was.
At home I went to my desktop and asked Google how to work with a QR code. Soon I had a quick video lesson in how to take a photo of a QR code with the phone and save it. - That's all?!!
But I'd already lost several hours to this, and needed my lunch.... so I will be going to Staples again once I have the ezine sent off.
I'll also see what price the HP toner is in Staples, before I order from Amazon again..

Do you get excited in the summer when you see fresh blueberries? They are a great fruit and known to increase our memory and do many good things for us.
However, there are at least 5 foods that we should NOT eat at the same time. They create a combination with Blueberries that can really mess up our health.
1. Dairy products such as milk and yogurt. Um... I believe that rules out whipped cream too. And ice cream? Oh-no!
2. If you are on iron supplements... it is best to have them a few hours before or after the blueberries, but NOT at the same time.
3. When you are enjoying blueberries... do not also at that same time have sugary sweets. They will clash and mess up your digestion, or give you a stomach ache - like you haven't had in a long, long time.
4. The same goes for fried foods. So if you have just had a nice juicy hamburger, or bacon and eggs, or any other fried foods, apologize to the one offering the blueberries and pass on them. Maybe they'll put them in the fridge and let you have them some hours later.
5. Grapefruit is another fruit that doesn't mix kindly with our dear blueberries. Have them on a different day than when you have even half a grapefruit.
A positive note: I understand that kiwi fruit or green apples get along well with blueberries. (Unfortunately, they are not always handy, when you're picking fresh blueberries!)
