Honoring God asrepparttar only One with all answers for our circumstances.

Seeking God for those answers.

Waiting for God's answer.

Listening for God's answer.

Receiving what God has revealed as all we yet need to know.

Walking in that faith.

Believing God will continue to give instruction, as needed.

Letting God dorepparttar 101344 rest.

Respectingrepparttar 101345 character of God knowing, when He gives a promise, He has to be faithful because God cannot lie.

Accountability in not calling God a liar.

Discovering that God will always dorepparttar 101347 most loving thing possible.

Puttingrepparttar 101348 weight ofrepparttar 101349 world back on God's shoulders, where it belongs.

Are We Happy, Really?

Written by Joyce C. Lock


Are we getting just old enough, and on so many medications,

That we don't realize how down right irritable we can be?

Or, have we not realized how unhappy we really are?

Upon first enteringrepparttar workforce, I was in shock, and sometimes thoroughly angered, to discoverrepparttar 101343 authoritarian, legalistic, generation of adults who (had controlled our every thought and being) didn't even have their own act together!

Only then, these adults were deacons, Sunday School teachers, andrepparttar 101344 like ... with a different code of ethics inrepparttar 101345 workplace. Evidently, all that lust and greed wasn’trepparttar 101346 answer, because they still aren't truly happy.

Now, my youngest is having her first experience inrepparttar 101347 workforce and she, thoroughly, loathes her job ... not because of employers or even co-workers, butrepparttar 101348 customers. It isn't just an occasional cranky old biddy. As she says, "Mom, it's all of them!"

Customers makerepparttar 101349 same purchases, over and over, withrepparttar 101350 same gripes. She's inrepparttar 101351 food business. So, there is pre-knowledge that food will tasterepparttar 101352 same, be wrappedrepparttar 101353 same way, customers will be chargedrepparttar 101354 same ... every time. My daughter questions, "If they really don't like our product, why don't they go somewhere else?"

Evidently, customers do likerepparttar 101355 product, as this store is a multi-million dollar business. Though, multitudes do appear unhappy, as retailers well know. Maybe we can keep it all neatly tucked, take it out on clerks and waitresses, nonerepparttar 101356 wiser. Now, that's a plan!
