 Nice newsletter.  L. A.

 
Dr. Tonya --Wow, the article "Watch Your Words" was definitely sent by the Lord.  Prior to reading the words, I had just said something to my husband that I know deeply hurt him.  I was so convicted--Wow, the Lord clearly spoke to me through those words.  Thank you for the emails which you send, for truly the Lord sends them through you.  P. H.
 
 
Thank you Dr. T for truly ministering who God really is both in the Word you teach and the Word you live... I honor you! Love E. G.

Watch Your Words---A-men.  Words have seeds, I agree.  "Death and life are in the power of the tongue."  (Book of Proverbs) Have a Christ-abundant week.  Love in Christ B. H.
 
 
Thank you so very much for the words of wisdom as always! "A hint to the wise is sufficient" I  I know I will be watching my words from now on! Much love. V.L.

Hi Dr. Lewis
Watch Your Words--this is so true. I am still on the mend for something that was said to me in Aug. 08. I believe the person meant no direct harm. Nevertheless, it still hurt. However, I must forgive them so that when I open my mouth and mess myself up I too will be forgiven. P.E.

Greetings!

 "What About?"
 
Isn't it amazing that many times we don't notice those things which enhance our lives; which means we don't say thank you as often as we should!   "What About" someone smiling at us, speaking to us, adding to our self worth by remembering and calling us by our name, offering to help us accomplish a task, helping with carrying our bags, image boy helping man with bags
 offering to drive us, unlocking a door, picking up something we drop and sharing their time with us? 
 "What About"
us having arms and hands and being able to reach up in a cabinet-having reflexes to protect our selves by catching falling objects, having the envelope and stamp we need at that very moment, a place to live, having dirty dishes to wash, having to complete a time sheet image time sheetso that we can get paid, etc.?
 "What About" being in our right minds and able to make wise decisions? "What About" have dirty clothes to wash?  "What About" those times when we planned to do something negatively, but heeded the warning from God and others and were saved!  

What About?
 

image man and question mark"What About" those times when we are asked for money by our children whether young or old and we had it to give to them?  Don't forget being able to read, to go and visit others in the hospital, the red light which seemingly delayed us, only to discover it prevented an accident. These are all blessings!  Being able to scratch an itch, a house to clean up, ears to hear "noises", eyes to see and a nose to smell!  So many times we take the abilities of our lives for granted and mumble and complain about what we don't have.  image angry man This is done when we consciously or non-consciously compare what we have to the more of others.   But one way to remind ourselves to be thankful and humble is to reflect on what we have that others don't possess.  Unfortunately, some people become high and lifted up because they have been blessed with certain blessings which others might not have; obviously forgetting that it is only the grace and mercy of God which has blessed them.  Also forgetting that the same God who blessed them is the same God who richly and more than over blesses those who might not have what they enjoy.

What About?
 
 We must not take for granted the seemingly smallest of God's and other people's blessings toward us because really and truly no blessing is a small thing when it adds to the comfort of our lives.  We must not take our life's comforts for granted; for then we stop being appreciative and saying thank you to God and man; image thank you blinkingwe, stop seeing ourselves as being as blessed as we are and begin to "expect" certain niceties as though it is "owed" us. Oh yes, a warning; don't even get into that exchange with God expecting certain blessings because of  how much we "serve", "love" and "give" to Him as though we are caught up on thanking Him for what He has already done in our lives, because we are not!  We are still at the point of rendering thank offerings for not being aborted in the womb, image baby in wombso don't go "there".  Let's take time to note the many smaller blessings and say to God and man "Thank You" for it will cultivate a Spirit of Thanksgiving in our hearts which should be the Spirit in us all anyway.  image thank you wavery
