Daily Blessings

Vacation

I AM TAKING A VACATION FROM WORRY AND FRUSTRATION. I AM DWELLING IN THE VERY PRESENCE OF GOD ALL DAY LONG.

Take a day’s vacation from worry, depression, and frustration.

Begin your day by affirming the presence of God. Know that God is surrounding you. Know that you cannot remove yourself from the presence of God. Image yourself moving through the day in a glowing circle of spiritual light. See other people surrounded with this spiritual light. This helps remove any cross feelings you may have had toward them in the past.

Even as you perform the simplest tasks, affirm the presence of God. As you begin the day, know that the Presence is with you. As you travel to work or to an appointment, know that you do not travel alone. As you converse with others, allow God to use your voice for good.

At the end of a day that has been filled with the conscious awareness of God, we are rested, relaxed, and at peace. This is a true vacation, isn’t it? And it never has to end. All of our days can and should be beautiful experiences in living.

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. (Psalm 23:1-3)

Your Divine Plan

By Rev. Joyce Kramer

Transcript of a radio broadcast by Rev. Joyce Kramer, January 21, 2014.

What do you want out of life? Do you know? Few people have any real concrete picture of just what they want out of life. Consequently it seems that they live at the mercy of someone or something other than themselves. Thus we have the belief that we are the victim of things over which we have little or no control.

Each and every person is created with the ability and the power to determine his own future. Man is not at the whim of fate, luck, or chance. Neither is he created to be at the mercy of another person [ . . .]

The Joyce Kramer Ministries logo depicts a dogwood tree planted across the entrance to the church that Rev. Kramer founded in Virginia Beach. Transplanted from her brother’s property in Charlottesville, for eighteen months the tree seemed nothing more than a lifeless stick in the ground. Finally, on a Wednesday afternoon, the decision was made to dig it up, but the lawn maintenance man did not have a shovel with him. The next week, he said, he would come back and discard the dead tree. But that Sunday when Rev. Kramer arrived at church, she noticed a single leaf had appeared on the otherwise barren stick. They left the tree in place, and it grew into one of the most beautiful on the property. This flowering dogwood represents the message of Joyce Kramer Ministries: Growth is always possible; never give up.
