Daily Blessings

Enjoy Life

I am full of vigor and vitality, eager to see what good God has in store for me today.

Today is the first day of the rest of your life; therefore, you should not permit your day to be humdrum or just so-so. Never-to-be-repeated opportunities will come to you today. Are you ready and willing to take advantage of them?

One seemingly small idea may be all you need to propel yourself in a new direction in life—if you are ready and willing. Your right response to the right person, for example, may be responsible for totally unexpected avenues of good opening for you.

Enjoy life today and you will find all sorts of interesting things beginning to happen to you. Whatever comes to you today, make the best of it. Although it may not be as good as you like, if you respond well you may find it a steppingstone to good that you have longed for.

As water reflects the face, so one’s life reflects the heart. (Proverbs 27:19)

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.
