I own a BUG-A-SALT 3.0. What an amazing invention! With a spray of salt, you can pulverize annoying flies and spiders. They just disappear.
Wouldn’t it be great if we could get this salt to pulverize all the annoying trials in our lives...or would it be?
Listen to Today’s Take as we look at what God says about the purpose of our trials.
Blessings, Bonnie
Scripture References:
Philippians 2:14,15 (AMPC)
“Do all things without grumbling and faultfinding and complaining [[a]against God] and [b]questioning and doubting…so that you may prove yourselves to be …children of God without blemish in the midst of a …perverted generation, among whom you are seen as bright lights [beacons shining out clearly] in the world [of darkness],”
No one likes to hear the words, “Look at what you did!” These words are usually spoken or screamed at us by someone who is angry with something we did that was not right. We feel shamed and embarrassed.
But what if these words, “Look at what you did” were not spoken in anger? What if they were spoken in admiration of something that we did right? What if these words were spoken to praise us?
Take a moment to listen to Today’s Take and find out what these words have to do with our praise to God.

If your purse is like mine, you carry around a lot of junk, including all the stuff from family members.
Today I want to share with you the most important thing that I carry in my purse. It has changed the way that I pray for my children and grandchildren.
Listen to Today's Take and maybe this is something you'd like to add to your purse or put on the bathroom mirror.
Blessings,
Bonnie

Purpose – (Jeremiah 29:11)
We spend our lives trying to fix people and things around us: unfulfilled expectations, rebellious children, difficult relationships, financial bankruptcy, loss of material possessions, health problems…
It’s ok to know that you CAN fix these things. But God has a message for the “Fixers” in this world- the person who feels he MUST fix everything around him. I am a fixer. If you are a fixer, too, listen to the message God gave to the Israelites in Today’s Take.
