Thoughts for the day - 2/26/18
And as for you, brothers and sisters, never tire of doing what is good.
2 Thessalonians 3:13
So, perhaps the selection of this verse is as much for me as it is for anyone. Sometimes we are just plain worn out, just putting too much of ourselves into every little thing and there is nothing left in reserve. We all have a very finite allocation of time on this earth, how we spend it often seems to be out of our hands. The day unravels in ways not expected or projects take longer than we could ever have imagined.
Take some time "off" to be with the Father, rest in His peace, prioritize what is "good". Tire not in this, for when your days grow longer, it is well that the reflection of your life gives you much contentment as our Lord proclaims to you:
‘Well done, good and faithful servant!'
Many Blessings.

Doing good should come like breathing. Do you get tired of breathing? Of course not. It is essential to our existence here on earth. We do it every second of our lives. Similarly, we should never tire of doing good at every opportunity. Not only is it essential to our earthly existence but more importantly to our existence in the life hereafter.
Sometimes I have COPD it seems and just need a bit of pure Oxygen (the Father).
Thank you for your encouragement brother, it is always a blessing to hear from you.
I always look forward to "Thoughts" as I find it the best way to end the day and be ready for the next. Thank you for this @bycoleman.
Really like that metaphor sir! It truly should be as important a function of our lives to give as each breath is there for us to receive
I never could have said it any better @jumpmaster. "It truly should be as important a function of our lives to give as each breath is there for us to receive." This is inspired writing, if I may say so myself.
Thank you sir, it’s so easy to be inspired when we are speaking of our Father
Okay, this comes to me like a reprimand.
I got annoyed and stopped running errands for my sister, because I felt she was taking me for granted, and I was tired of that.
Thank you @bycoleman.
God bless your ministry.

I'd appreciate your input on it.
Hi Sister,
Sorry for taking so long to get back with you. My inbox has runneth over :)
It is possible that she is taking advantage of you and it might be well you feel less than happy about it. Let your prayer be that you are given true clarity and wisdom in this and it will be given to you. Being a loving sister involves sharing the truth about how you feel, so that you both are uplifted by the respect you show for each other by always being honest and caring.
I look forward to reading, I have opened it up in a new tab to read as soon my day allows.
Be deeply blessed this day!
@bycoleman Best on ever. I love my father. You will happy to know that, today I buy something for my father. I buy 3 Shirts, 1 Pant, and 1 wallet. I am feeling so happy now. I live in the Capital of Bangladesh which is called Dhaka. And my father lives in our hometown which is Dinajpur. We meet 3 times in a year. I just love him most. Missing him badly. I wish, I could explain my love for him :(
How wonderful that you are able to meet 3 times per year and it gives you so much joy.
You are blessed!
@bycoleman Thanks a lot. I really like the way you are feeling and the way you reply me. Keep this please.
Thankyou @bycoleman for those true words. I have been feeling very low today and you lifted me up with this post .May Yashua shine His face upon you. Shalom Shalom
Thank you sister, knowing this lifted your spirit truly lifted mine!
Have a glorious day!
As long as we let Christ through, doing good should be easy to do.
Thank you for sharing and have a blessed and energetic day as well.
Sometimes we may grow weary, but what we can give to others is the truest blessing that we can receive ourselves. For those who can give a lot of themselves are truly rich, perhaps not in monetary wealth, but in life!
Very impressive thank you bycoleman
