Be Humble and Cook a Sweet Potato Day!

pride-vs-humility

Humility may be the most difficult of all the virtues to truly attain. Sometimes we might think we are being humble, but often it’s very hard to realize the difference between being humble, and having pride.

Being humble and not judging others is what God asks of us. We need to not be the ones to jump to conclusions or accusations, but instead be loving to all, and ask God to humble our souls to help those in need.

We can also help those who aren’t humble, to show them contentment, in realizing that sometimes it’s okay to be wrong.

Check HERE to see how to apply Be Humble Day to your life today!

Also, it’s Cook a Sweet Potato Day! SWEET!!

Did you know that when you eat a sweet potato you are actually eating a past delicacy!? In the 16th century these specific potatoes were very expensive and hard to get!

Our favorite recipes to think about: Sweet Potato Cupcakes, Sweet Potato Ice cream, Sweet Potato Bars, and MORE!!

Try and get that sweet potato in for dinner tonight, and maybe try out these delicious recipes!

We found a really great list of ways to show kindness to others at www.hoveround.com

2.Compliment a stranger —what they are wearing, what they did or their great smile.
3.Tell a mom out shopping with her kids that she’s doing a great job (and that her children are adorable!). We all need to hear we’re doing a great job sometimes!
4.Thank a police officer for his or her service.
5.Go sit and talk with a friend who has been having a tough time.
6.Whenever you introduce someone, tell others something great about him or her.

8.Acknowledge every worker you meet in the same friendly manner — from the corporate CEO to the custodian to the security guard.
9.Ask someone random how his or her day is — and listen.
10.Call a person who has made a difference in your life and tell them just that.
11.Have a conversation with the homeless person you would normally pass by.

20 Verses about Fear and Anxiety to Remind Us God is in Control

32257-woman-outside-sun-1200-1200w-tn

Debbie McDaniel, Contributing Writer for Crosswalk.com compiled 20 verses that remind us that God is in control!

Debbie shared her struggle with fear and anxiety:
I struggled with fear and worry for years. But through time, I began to find that the things that once would have sent me down an anxious spiral, no longer had the same effect.  It didn’t happen quickly, but over days, months, years.

I read words – of life – of truth. Soaking them in, over and over, praying them out loud.  Until they became so familiar, they replaced the other things in my mind that I’d battled against. There’s nothing magical about words and verses, but there is power through them, because they’re God’s words.

Click HERE to see these 20 powerful verses.
It is our hope and prayer that you will use these verses to find strength and hope for today!
