Whatever Is Right, Whatever Is Pure

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. — Philippians 4:8 


God wants me to fill my mind with thoughts of Him and His goodness.

Whatever is true — to think of true things.

Whatever is noble, rather than things that fill my mind with trash.

Things that are right and pure.

Lovely things.

Like this beautiful rose.

And whatever is admirable.

Anything excellent.

Whatever is praiseworthy.

To fill my thoughts with these things.

Help me, Lord.

Whatever Is Praiseworthy

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. — Philippians 4:8

First Pres. youth at Forest Home Camp several years ago
This afternoon we had a Christian Education meeting at church.

Only three of us were able to attend, but we accomplished quite a bit.

Afterward, our Christian Ed. Director offered to support me more as I coordinate the high school and middle school Sunday school lessons, find teachers, choose the curriculum, and encourage the older youth to lead in teaching occasionally.

Peggy and I are planning to meet every month or two to touch base, pray for the students, and support each other.

We set a date to get together.

I am grateful and blessed.

God Has Healed Me

Heal me, O Lord, and I will be healed; save me and I will be saved, for you are the one I praise. — Jeremiah 17:14

God has healed me and strengthened me.

He has saved me from death and has given me life eternal.

I praise him for his mighty acts.

I exalt him for his excellent greatness.

He is the one I praise.
