Day 12 – Give Praise Where it’s Due

I knew a young girl who played a musical instrument. She was pretty good. Ok, so she didn’t practice a whole heap. Who does when they are young? Going out with friends seems far more enticing. Continue reading Day 12 – Give Praise Where it’s Due

Day 11 – My Door is Always Open

Have you ever had anyone say to you, “my door is always open”? It may have been a colleague at work, or even your boss. You know the moment when you start a new job and a passing comment is said at the end.

“My door is always open.”

Day 10 – Are you in a how situation?

The lyrics to John Lenon’s song “How?” Will probably resonate to millions of people around the world. Although it was released in 1971, it is very much relevant today.

How can I go forward when I don’t know which way I’m facing

How can I go forward when I don’t know which way to turn

How can I go forward into something I’m not sure of

Oh no, oh no

How can I have feeling when I don’t know if it’s a feeling

How can I feel something if I just don’t know how to feel

How can I have feelings when my feelings have always been denied

Oh no, oh no

You know life can be long

And you got to be so strong

And the world is so tough

Sometimes I feel I’ve had enough

How can I give love when I don’t know what it is I’m giving

How can I give love when I just don’t know how to give

How can I give love when love is something I ain’t never had

Oh no, oh no

You know life can be long

You’ve got to be so strong

And the world she is tough

Sometimes I feel I’ve had enough

How can we go forward when we don’t know which way we’re facing

How can we go forward when we don’t know which way to turn

How can we go forward into something we’re not sure of

Oh no, oh no

If only John Lennon knew the answer to all of his ‘hows’. The only answer I can give is God.

God knows which way you are facing.

God knows which way you can turn.

God knows how you can go forward.

God can give you love.

God knows what you are feeling and He is there when you have had enough.

When you feel like you are in a ‘how’ situation, turn to God for the answer.
