Bird Seeds / Food for Thought from Aunt Ann

Aunt Ann reads from a devotional book titled “Ending Your Day Right”, by Joyce Myer.  The devotion she wanted to share with the family is called “Calm Down and Use Your Gifts.”  The scripture reference is John 14:27.

Peace I leave with you (my own).  Peace I now give and bequeath to you.  Do you know there is a right and wrong way to handle times of stress?  I did not know that until I became a Christian and began to learn that God’s power and peace are available to me.  As a Christian you have God’s peace he has bequeathed it to you, it is your inheritance.  Luke 10:19 tells you he has given you power.   Peace and power what wonderful gifts.  And God gave them to you for a reason.  He wants you to use them.  If you have not been putting these gifts to work in your life you are cheating yourself.  So make a decision to start using them now.  Don’t waste your time whimpering, crying or throwing a fit when problems come.  Instead calm down and think about the peace and power of God that are yours and then put them to work.                                                                                                                          Much Love from Aunt Ann
