Quote:

3/21–Technology isn’t life..

Spend time with people .. Not with devices.”

Story:

The only survivor of a shipwreck washed up on a small, uninhabited island. He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him, and every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming.

Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from the elements, and to store his few possessions.

But then one day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, the smoke rolling up to the sky. The worst had happened; everything was lost. He was stung with grief and anger. “God, how could you do this to me!” he cried.

Early the next day, however, he was awakened by the sound of a ship that was approaching the island. It had come to rescue him. “How did you know I was here?” asked the weary man of his rescuers. “We saw your smoke signal,” they replied.

It is easy to get discouraged when things are going bad. But we shouldn’t lose heart. Remember next time your little hut is burning to the ground–it just may be a smoke signal that summons the grace of God.

Scripture:

Proverbs 6:16-19

These six things doth the LORD hate:

yea, seven are an abomination unto him:

A proud look, a lying tongue,

and hands that shed innocent blood,

An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations,

feet that be swift in running to mischief,

A false witness that speaketh lies,

and he that soweth discord among brethren.

Humor:

Consider the case of the Illinois man who left the snow-filled streets of Chicago for a vacation in Florida. His wife was on a business trip and was planning to meet him there the next day.

When he reached his hotel, he decided to send his wife a quick e-mail. Unable to find the scrap of paper on which he had written her e-mail address, he did his best to type it in from memory.

Unfortunately, he missed one letter and his note was directed instead to an elderly preacher’s wife, whose husband had passed away only the day before. When the grieving widow checked her e-mail, she took one look at the monitor, let out a piercing scream, and fell to the floor in a dead faint.

At the sound, her family rushed into the room and saw this note on the screen: Dearest Wife, Just got checked in. Everything prepared for your arrival tomorrow.

Your Loving Husband

PS. Sure is hot down here.

Are you prepared for your arrival in heaven?

“A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle.”

Scripture:

“Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.” — Romans 12:15

The Heart of True Joy

One of the greatest tests of our character isn’t how we handle our own success—it’s how we respond to someone else’s.

It’s easy to celebrate when things are going our way. But what about when someone else gets the blessing we’ve been praying for? The promotion we wanted… the healing we hoped for… the opportunity we dreamed about?

That’s where true maturity steps in.

Rejoicing with others is not about comparison—it’s about connection.

A Simple Story

There was a man who had been trying for years to start his own business. Time after time, doors seemed to close. One day, his close friend launched a business and it took off almost overnight.

At first, the man felt a sting of disappointment. But instead of letting jealousy take root, he made a choice—he showed up, shook his friend’s hand, and said, “I’m proud of you.”

Something changed in that moment.

Instead of losing joy, he gained it.

Not long after, doors began opening for him too—but it all started when he learned to celebrate someone else’s win.

Why It Matters

When you rejoice with others:

You break the chains of jealousy You strengthen relationships You create a spirit of unity You open your own heart to greater joy

Joy is not a limited resource. There’s plenty to go around.

In fact, when you celebrate others, you position yourself for your own breakthrough.

A Little Humor

You ever notice how some folks celebrate others like they just bit into a lemon?

“Good for you…” 😐

Don’t be that person!

If your friend wins, act like your team just scored the game-winning touchdown!

Today’s Challenge

Find someone to celebrate today.

Send a message of encouragement Compliment someone’s progress Cheer someone on without hesitation

Even if you’re still waiting on your own blessing, choose joy anyway.

Eph 4:1-5 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism,

Story:

Two taxidermists stopped before a window in which an owl was on display. They immediately began to criticize the way it was mounted. Its eyes were not natural; its wings were not in proportion with its head; its feathers were not neatly arranged; and its feet could be improved. When they had finished with their criticism, the old owl turned his head…and winked at them.

Scripture:

2 Corinthians 11:12-14

But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we. For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

Humor:

Do our actions have consequences? Does cause and effect really exist?

George W. Bush, was in an airport lobby, and noticed a man in a long flowing white robe with a long flowing white beard and flowing white hair. The man had a staff in one hand and some stone tablets under the other arm.

George W. approached the man and inquired, “Aren’t you Moses?”

The man ignored George W. and stared at the ceiling.

George W. positioned himself more directly in the man’s view and asked again,

“Aren’t you Moses?”

The man continued to stare at the ceiling.

George W. tugged at the man’s sleeve and asked once again, “Aren’t you Moses?”

The man finally responded in an irritated voice, “Yes, I am.”

George W. asked him why he was so irritable and the man replied, “The last time I spoke to a bush I had to spend 40 years in the desert!”

Quote of the Day:

“He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.” – Proverbs 16:32

Introduction: A Fire That Can Help or Hurt

Anger is a powerful emotion. It’s not always wrong—in fact, sometimes it rises up in us when something unjust or unfair happens. But here’s the truth: anger is a terrible driver. If you let it take control, it can steer your life into places you never intended to go.

A Simple Story

A man once slammed his truck door in frustration after a long, stressful day. His young son, trying to help, accidentally dropped a tool nearby. In a burst of anger, the man snapped at his son harshly.

The boy quietly walked away.

Later that night, the father realized something: the problem wasn’t his son—it was the stress and anger he carried home. He went to apologize, but the damage, though repairable, had already been done.

Anger doesn’t just visit—it leaves footprints.

Three Truths About Anger

1. Anger Is Quick, But Wisdom Is Patient

Anger reacts in seconds. Wisdom takes a breath.

When you pause—even for a moment—you give yourself the power to respond instead of react.

2. Words Spoken in Anger Echo Longer Than You Think

You can say something in 5 seconds that takes 5 years to heal.

That’s why controlling your tongue is one of the greatest strengths a person can have.

3. You Can Feel Anger Without Becoming It

You don’t have to deny anger—but you don’t have to let it control you either.

You can acknowledge it, step back, pray, breathe, and choose a better response.

A Little Humor (Because We All Need It 😊)

Someone once said,

“I don’t have a short temper… I just have a quick reaction time!”

We’ve all been there—but growth comes when we start slowing that “reaction time” down.

Practical Steps for Today

Pause before responding (even count to 10 if needed) Walk away if emotions are high Pray or reflect before speaking Ask yourself: “Will this matter tomorrow?”

Closing Encouragement

Today, you may face moments that test your patience. That’s life. But remember this:

You are stronger than your anger.

You are bigger than the moment.

You have the power to choose peace.

Don’t let anger drive—you take the wheel.

Luke 28:39-41 And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda; And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth. And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:

3/19–Be grateful for every single person who was part of your story. The ones who hurt you, the ones who helped, you cause they all taught you

Story:

The man turned to the congregation and with tears in his eyes confessed he had been a “counterfeit” Christian. Everyone in that church knew he was a taxidermist. His job was making dead animals look alive. He compared his life to one of his stuffed animals—he looked spiritually alive, but he was dead on the inside.”

Scripture:

Mark 7:6

He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
