Daily Blessings

Orderly Mind

I GIVE THANKS FOR AN ORDERLY MIND THAT ENABLES ME TO WORK WITH EASE AND SUCCESS.

How many people’s lives are governed by the clock? There seems to be a great sense of hurry—people dashing here and there, often late for work or appointments, frustrated, talking about all they have to do and the little time in which to do it. Those who have order first in their thoughts and mental attitudes will have little problem with disorder in their lives.

If you have many things to do, plan them according to their priority. Do the most important tasks first. When you have finished one thing, move on freely to another. You will find yourself accomplishing much, with an ease and efficiency you did not know you possessed, as you work in an orderly way.

You do not need to have a sense of hurry. Just allow yourself a little more time, if necessary, and learn to give wholehearted attention to whatever it is you are doing. You are in charge of your life. You are in charge of your time. Use it wisely, effectively, and freely.

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind. (Romans 12:2)

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.
