Cause and Effect

It's actually a standard for second grade in the state of Georgia.  I can teach it with my eyes closed--tight:

Cause                                                                   Effect
If you eat a lot of carbs                                         You will never lose a pound



If you drink 4 cups of coffee                                  You will have an upset stomach--all day

If you have a diet of negativity                                You will experience nonstop negative thoughts

If your world is small                                              You will be a small person--narrow minded

If your prayers are less than 20 seconds                  You will never experience God's power

If you immerse yourself in God's Word                    You will lead a less stressful life

If you wake up and make a conscious decision        You will be successful

If you are fearful and turn it over to Christ                You will be able to deal and not be overcome

Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me.  In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you.  I go to prepare a place for you.  And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.  And where I go you know, and the way you know.  John 14:1-4

Wow. Everything you've said in your list is true! Especially the part about carrying around negativity...which only breeds more of the same.

You've renamed your place! And changed things around...it looks lovely, sweets!

I especially love the dog on the tracking software! So cute!

I hope you find that place of peace in the Lord.

It's easy to get too busy and miss our quiet time, where we draw close and get our strength. (don't ask me how I know!!) :-O
