Daily Blessings

Praise

I GIVE PRAISE AND THANKSGIVING TO GOD WITH MY WHOLE HEART.

The act of wholehearted praise and thanksgiving works miracles. Sometimes we believe that our lives must be in perfect order before we can give thanks, but this is not the case. Begin now to speak words of praise and thanksgiving to God. Take a moment to recall the special experiences of good that have come your way, and remember your day-to-day blessings as well.

Speak words of praise and thanksgiving to those around you. Look for the good and do not hesitate to express appreciation. Be sincere and wholehearted in your praise, and you will bring great joy into the lives of others.

Speak words of praise to yourself. Recognize not only your personal efforts but also the good work of your mind and body. Remember the words of Charles Fillmore: “You can praise a weak body into strength, a fearful heart into peace and trust, and shattered nerves into poise and harmony.”

With your whole heart, praise and give thanks to God today and every day.

I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart. (Psalm 9:1)

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.
