By His Spirit

There are numberless stories that have been told over and over again by many women about the kind of CRAVING that they develop during pregnancy. Sometimes even the type of foods that they would not normally eat, they suddenly have a strong desire for. What’s even more interesting is not only what they CRAVE but also the time of the day or night when these CRAVINGS come on so strong. Without doubt, the caring husband will do all in his power to make sure that whatever his pregnant wife is CRAVING is supplied. If not, she may not stop the nagging until the CRAVING has been met. It is not only pregnant women who have CRAVINGS. At some point in time in our lives we all CRAVE something. It’s our must have! With that in mind the FF for today calls us to WATCH YOUR CRAVINGS!

Recently while at the gym, I went on one of the stationary bikes to do some cardio. I was about to get started when I realized that the pedals were not moving. For whatever reason, the machine was just not working. The owner came over, unplugged the bike, waited about 10 seconds and then turned the power back on. I was getting ready to start pedaling when all of a sudden this message appeared in the handle section of the bike. It said ‘No pedaling. RECALIBRATING.’ Although I wanted so badly to get going, there was nothing I could do but sit there and wait. Even though the bike was recalibrating for at least a minute or so, it seemed much longer to because there was absolutely nothing I could do but wait. But for this stationary bike to do what it was designed to do it needed just a few seconds to reset itself as it were. It needed to get back on track internally before the external pedaling could begin. If I were not patient I could have potentially further delayed a simple but necessary action so as to ensure that the bike continues to work properly. With that in mind, let’s realize that today may be a time for us to all RECALIBRATE. That's our FF for today – RECALIBRATE!

Ever notice that there are certain products in the supermarkets that have written on the outside a message that lets you think that you are getting MORE for your money. So although the dish washing liquid may look the same size, it’s in a newly designed bottle which now give 20% MORE for the same price. Instead of 12 rolls of paper towels in a pack they now give you 6 jumbo ones and say to you that even though it’s less in number it’s actually MORE paper towels so you’re getting MORE for your money. In light of today’s financial personal situations, people are always looking to see how they could get MORE without having to spend MORE. No wonder warehouse stores have become so popular. But is there something wrong with wanting MORE? Could wanting MORE be deadly? Well I guess it depends on the answer to the question MORE of what! But today for our FF I want us to consider that we should adopt an attitude in life which says that THERE’S MORE! That’s today’s FF: THERE’S MORE!

For every person who has a cell phone, there’s one accessory that is a necessity. You can do without head phones or even the Bluetooth ear piece. You don’t always need a case either. But the one thing a cell phone user can’t do without is a phone CHARGER. Even the best cell phones with all of the latest features have a limited battery life. It’s only a matter of time before an unCHARGED phone eventually dies. Some people routinely plug their phones in at night so that by the next morning it’s fully CHARGED at 100%. And of course depending on how much it is used throughout the day it may even be necessary to get it RECHARGED sometime during the day. After all a phone with a dead battery is practically useless! And so for our FF for today I invite us to recognize that every day we all need to GET RECHARGED!. That’s today’s FF – GET RECHARGED!

It is prom season here and so there is quite a bit of attention of getting that perfect outfit for the big night. Parents of graduating seniors from High School are spending quite a bit of money to make sure that their daughters or sons are DRESSED appropriately for the occasion. For those graduating from university, they too have to ensure that they too are DRESSED right. And so even though it may not be a prom every effort is being made to get the right cap and gown and all the other regalia that goes along with the ceremony. It is nothing short of embarrassing to turn up either at your prom night or your college graduation, under-DRESSED. With these occasions come certain expectations about what is considered to be acceptable. And so for our FF for today I invite us all to ensure that we DRESS RIGHT!

Advertising is big business these days. Everybody it seems has something to sell. What’s more they are doing all in their power to convince us that what they have is just what we need. From the revolutionary skin cream that will remove all unwanted spots to the latest state of the art exercise devise that will give you that toned fit body practically overnight. Some of the offers seem too good to be true. But just so as to convince us that what they’re offering is just the right solution that we’ve been searching for, they usually get regular people – not paid actors – who vouch for reliability of the product. And what do they use as evidence? The BEFORE AND AFTER pictures! Who can argue against that? After all isn’t a picture worth a thousand words – or in this case dollars? So for our FF for today I invite us to reflect on the BEFORE AND AFTER!
