Lessons I'm trying to learn!
Do our everyday conversations encourage others or pull them down?
Do our words reflect our relationship with Christ?
Are they hurtful instead of helpful?
Do they build up or tear down?
Do they encourage or discourage?
Do we blurt out what's on our minds or take the time to stop, think and pray before we speak? If we learn to do this we will either keep our mouth shut or speak the truth in love and in a Christlike way.
Is our response said in a defensive way?
Does it sound condemning?
Does it sound hateful?
These are difficult lessons learn, 

Dear Lord, help me to pause, think and pray before opening my mouth. A prayer that's been said "put Your arms around my shoulder and Your hand over my mouth"
I can't do this on my own but only through You. Remind me of these verses when my mouth wants to speak my mind.
In Jesus name, Amen

Blessings,
Karen Hadley

I’m Back

 Hello! I’ve been gone for a long while from my blog due to personal reasons that lasted longer that anticipated.  But I’m back and ready to get started! I’m hoping and praying to make some changes to my blog. There will be book reviews (I make mine short because I don’t like to read a long review).    Places that have free books and anything else I come across that you might want to know. I also what to incorporate Bible verses and short studies of Bible verses or words from the verses.  I also want to let you see the newest member of our family and her antics. A yorkie named Pocket!  Here’s looking to a fresh beginning ! Karen
