12/1–Start Your Day Off Right Series 

Quote:

Story:

12/1–S—A very old lady looked in the mirror one morning. She had three remaining hairs on her head, and being a positive soul, she said, “I think I’ll braid my hair today.” So she braided her three hairs, and she had a great day.

Some days later, looking in the mirror one morning, preparing for her day, she saw that she had only two hairs remaining. “Hmm, two hairs… I fancy a centre parting today.” She duly parted her two hairs, and as ever, she had a great day.

A week or so later, she saw that she had just one hair left on her head. “One hair huh…,” she mused, “I know, a pony-tail will be perfect.” And again she had a great day.

The next morning she looked in the mirror. She was completely bald.

“Finally bald huh,” she said to herself, “How wonderful! I won’t have to waste time doing my hair any more..”

Scripture:

Philippians 4:8

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Humor:

Never give up as Churchill once valiantly said.

The story is told of a spry lady who lived in a retirement home. She spotted an older and distinguished gentleman who was a new resident seated in the dining hall.

She promptly sat down in front of him and attempted to get his attention with warm smiles. She saw a husband in the making.

Growing uncomfortable he asked, “May I help you?” She shot back, “You look just like my third husband. The wave of your hair, your countenance, the look of your hands.”

Now very uncomfortable he said, “Now, ma’am, how many times did you say you have been married?”

She smiled and said, “Twice.” Never give up hope.

As we step into a brand-new month, December begins with a gentle reminder: thankfulness isn’t just a holiday theme — it’s a daily life changer. You don’t need perfect circumstances to be thankful. In fact, some of the most grateful people in the world are those who have weathered storms, walked through valleys, and learned the value of every sunrise.

💡 A Thought to Start Your Day

“It’s not happy people who are thankful; it’s thankful people who are happy.”

Gratitude shifts your focus. It moves your attention from what’s missing to what’s present, from what hurts to what helps, from what’s lacking to what’s lasting. When you practice being thankful, your attitude changes… and so does your outlook.

📖 A Simple Story

A man once complained that he only had one old pair of shoes left to wear. They were worn out, barely holding together, and every day he grumbled about them. One afternoon, while walking downtown, he noticed a young man sitting on a bench — smiling, laughing, and enjoying the day.

But the young man had no legs.

In that moment, the man realized how blessed he truly was. Suddenly, those old shoes didn’t seem quite so bad. What changed? Not his situation — but his perspective.

Thankfulness gives you new eyes.

📜 Scripture for Strength

1 Thessalonians 5:18

“In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.”

Notice it doesn’t say for everything, but in everything. No matter what you’re facing today — health issues, financial stress, loneliness, or simple fatigue — God asks you to find a reason to be thankful within it. Not because everything is great, but because He is still good.

🙌 Gratitude Changes You

When you choose thankfulness…

your heart becomes lighter, your faith becomes stronger, your worries become smaller, and your joy becomes deeper.

Thankfulness reminds you of what God has already done — and builds confidence in what He can still do.

😄 A Clean, Light-Hearted Laugh

A child once prayed:

“Lord, I’m thankful for my family… even though they eat all the snacks.”

Sometimes gratitude comes with a smile — and that’s okay!

🌅 Closing Encouragement

Today, on this first day of December, take a moment to pause. Look around. Look within. Look upward.

There is always something to thank God for — a breath, a new day, a friend, a warm home, a lesson learned, a blessing given, or the simple truth that God is not finished with you yet.

Be thankful — and watch how it transforms your entire month.

Is 40:28-31 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard,
that the everlasting God, the LORD,
the Creator of the ends of the earth,
fainteth not, neither is weary?
there is no searching of his understanding.
He giveth power to the faint;
and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.
Even the youths shall faint and be weary,
and the young men shall utterly fall:
But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings as eagles;
they shall run, and not be weary;
and they shall walk, and not faint.

Scripture:

Matthew 25:29

For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.

Humor:

The story is told of a lady who told her husband that her credit card had been stolen while she was at the mall with a friend. She was in a state of panic and wondered what his response might be.

Her husband, John called the credit card company to inquire concerning the current balance. Although a few unexpected charges were on the account, he decided not to report the card as stolen after his discussion with the company.

Apparently he discovered that the thief was spending less than his wife was! 

11/30–Let The Silence Settle 

Perspective–seasoned by experience, you begin to understand what not to worry about. So that you can put your efforts into that which is productive and not in that which will energize your enemies by focusing on them and what they are trying to do. 

If you start speaking to them you give life to them and make them bigger by focusing on them. You need to ignore what they are doing, and keep on doing what you are called to do. Because whatever you put your attention on you give life to. You make something or somebody important the moment you give it or them attention. 

Whatever you give attention to you make important. If you want to kill something, ignore it. A lot of time Jesus answered them not a word. Let the silence settle.

Psalms 56:8-12 Thou tellest my wanderings:
put thou my tears into thy bottle:
are they not in thy book?
When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back:
this I know; for God is for me.
In God will I praise his word:
in the LORD will I praise his word.
In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid
what man can do unto me.

11/29–Start Your Day Off Right

Quote:

11/29–

Trying to hurt me by bringing up my past is like trying to rob my old house I don’t live there anymore!

Church Signs:

Give THANKS to those who have DONE YOU WRONG; they have UNKNOWINGLY made you STRONG!

Sto ry:

11/29–“I am reminded of the man who lost his luggage on a transcontinental flight. Upon arriving at his destination and discovering that his bags had not, this man made his way to the airline’s claim office, where he caused a scene. The employee recording his information “patiently endured the angry tirade until the passenger accused her of personal incompetence. “Sir,” she answered, “no one knows where your baggage is yet. At the moment, only two people in the whole world even care where it is—and one of us is rapidly losing interest!”

Scripture:

Proverbs 15:1-2 

 

A soft answer turneth away wrath:

but grievous words stir up anger.

The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright:

but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.

Humor:

A pastor went to speak to a group of fourth graders on the topic of marriage. He asked, “I wonder if anyone of you know what God has to say about marriage?”

Immediately one little boy was waving his hand back and forth and the pastor called on him and said, “Ok, what does God have to say about marriage?”

The little boy replied, “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.”
