Daily Blessings

Affirm the Good

I give thanks for each moment of time throughout eternity. I CONTINUALLY AFFIRM THE GOODNESS IN EVERY DAY.

No matter what the day seems to hold for us, if we affirm the goodness of the present moment, we will have a wonderful day. A morning shower does not mean it will rain all day long. We actually never know exactly what each hour holds for us, even though we may have our own plans and daily schedules. Every day is special in its own way—holding good for us if we will only claim it.

It is interesting to note that two people working in the same place and under similar conditions may have completely different opinions concerning the good in any given day. This shows that happiness is a choice, and by controlling our thoughts and feelings, we can live in the kingdom of heaven right here and now.

What thoughts would spoil your day? Get them out of your mind and keep them out. Invite good and beauty to enter into your thinking and just see what a difference it will make.

Affirm: Realizing that I can determine what each moment will bring to me, I now call forth good to reign in my mind. Thank You, God, for endowing me with the freedom of choice. Amen.

Behold, the kingdom of God is within you. (Luke 17:21)

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.
