He is Risen

He is Risen Indeed

He is Risen! Yes, He is risen indeed! Happy Easter to you and your family. For those of us who are Christians, Easter is our most favored holiday. Easter is so very much more than bunnies and eggs. Because our precious Lord chose to die to pay for our sins, this story is recorded. Just as He said He would, He arose from the dead. The price He paid for us was finished when he died on the cross. It is too much for us to comprehend. Nonetheless, we are so very grateful.

The Real Story about Easter

I have been thinking about the beauty and truth of the Easter Story. Therefore, I began to search for a simple way to explain this story to our small granddaughters. Here is what I found:

Bible Story – The Story of Easter by Linda Sue … – Children’s Chapel

May You and Your Family Enjoy a Beautiful Easter Weekend

He is Risen! He is Risen indeed!

Matthew 28:5-7 (KJV)
5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.

6 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

7 And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.

****************************************************
Dear Father God, thank You that You sent Your Son,
Jesus, to die for our sins. Thank You that He
arose from the dead and is now living; and
because He lives, we can have eternal life.
In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
****************************************************

Yes, He is Risen indeed. How thankful we are to serve a “Risen King”.

All This Because He Loves Us

From Pastor Robert MorrisOver the years, there have been many preachers and theologians who have mistakenly claimed “the Jews” crucified Jesus. Others have claimed the Romans crucified Him. Still, others have said it was us and our sins that put Jesus on the cross.

Scripture, however, shows us the truth: It was Jesus.

In John 10:18, Jesus says, “No one takes [my life] from Me, but I lay it down of Myself.”

On this day, over 2,000 years ago, Jesus chose death on a cross. And after three days, He was resurrected, conquering death, sin, and the grave in the process.

He did all of this because He loves us!

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving

Wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving. This is still my very favorite holiday of the year. Being with loved ones is such a treasure to enjoy. It is getting harder and harder to get everyone together. Oh my! Is the family photo a thing of the past? Here is a photo of two daughters and one daughter-in-law.

May you have a most memorable and joyful Thanksgiving. On occasion, it is a sacrifice to be thankful, but the rewards are great.

The Story of the Little 92 Year Old Lady

I love to think about the story of the little 92-year-old lady. Please let me share it again. Here it is:

“The 92-year-old, petite, well-poised, and proud lady, who is fully dressed each morning by eight o’clock, with her hair fashionably coiffed and makeup perfectly applied, even though she is legally blind, moved to a nursing home today.”

Her husband of 70 years recently passed away, making the move necessary. After many hours of waiting patiently in the lobby of the nursing home, she smiled sweetly when told her room was ready. As she maneuvered her walker to the elevator, I provided a visual description of her tiny room, including the eyelet sheets that had been hung on her window. “I love it,” she stated with the enthusiasm of an eight-year-old having just been presented with a new puppy. “Mrs. Jones, you haven’t seen the room …. just wait.” “That doesn’t have anything to do with it,” she replied. Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time.”

Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time.

“Whether I like my room or not doesn’t depend on how the furniture is arranged… it’s how I arrange my mind. I already decided to love it … It’s a decision I make every morning when I wake up. I have a choice; I can spend the day in bed recounting the difficulty I have with the parts of my body that no longer work, or get out of bed and be thankful for the ones that do.”

“Each day is a gift, and as long as my eyes open I’ll focus on the new day and all the happy memories I’ve stored away.”

Masters of Gratitude

Let’s you and I do the same. We can practice being thankful, even when we don’t feel thankful. My goal is to become a Master of Gratitude. In fact, now is the perfect time to begin thinking of and listing your ten top Gratitudes for 2021.

Scriptures for Thanksgiving Day

Thank you, Kenneth Copeland Ministries for always having a beautiful Thanksgiving Post. I am quoting from the post I received today:

https://www.kcm.org/real-help/life-work/believe/17-scriptures-thanksgiving-day

From these scriptures, you can learn how thanksgiving and praise can affect your life.

Again Quoting Kenneth Copeland

1. Thanksgiving and Praise Brings God on the Scene

Psalm 22:3 says God inhabits the praises of His people. When you enter into thanksgiving and praise, you invite God’s glory, His presence, to fill your life and your situation. At times of high praise, the Shekinah glory of God will fill the whole place with His sweet presence.

Challenges in Perspective

2. Thanksgiving and Praise Puts Challenges in Perspective

As Psalm 8:1 reminds you: “O Lord, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth! Your glory is higher than the heavens.” Thanksgiving and praise remind you just how powerful your God is. He is the creator of all the world and the universe. Nothing is beneath His notice. If He is in your corner, how can you lose?!

Focus Your Mind

3. Thanksgiving and Praise Focuses Your Mind on the Right Subject

When challenges arise, it’s easy to allow them to play on a loop inside your head. But thanksgiving and praise breaks that loop. It helps you to refocus your attention on the One who is greater than every challenge. Just read through King David’s psalms. Time and again he wrote of his troubles and of God’s glorious power. He was refocusing his attention on the One who had all the answers to his troubles.

Strengthen Your Faith

4. Thanksgiving and Praise Strengthens Your Faith

Romans 4:20 says, Abraham “grew strong and was empowered by faith as he gave praise and glory to God” (AMPC). As you praise God and speak of His marvelous works, you are reminded of all that God has done, and your faith in God and His plan for you increases.

Powerful Weapon

5. Thanksgiving and Praise Is a Weapon Against the Enemy’s Maneuvers

Psalm 9 says: “I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will show forth all thy marvelous works. I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High. When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence. For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging right” (verses 1-4, KJV). When you praise God, your enemies have to turn back. (Read 2 Chronicles 20 for an example of this.)

Happy Thanksgiving to You and Yours

Learning to Soar

May 14, 2021 by Dani Leave a Comment

Learning to Soar is Not Hard

Learning to Soar above problems is not so hard, but it takes daily practice. Any good habit we develop takes consistency. Faith and consistency are the keys to the breakthrough in everything we do. I suppose this is true even with bad habits. Consistency also establishes these.

What is Soaring?

Soaring is a technique used to help oneself stretch to new levels. It is daily (or every so many days) accountability done via journaling. It encompasses specific Gratitudes and Praises as well as identifying Negative Drainers that are stealing from you. Learning to soar will enable you to uncover and take action on living by your deepest core values and energy producers.

Where I Learned about Soaring

About 15 years ago I attended a Robert Allen seminar and heard a gentleman, John Dealy, teach on soaring. I’ve added a few tweaks here and there so that it fits with truth I have learned from God’s Word. Most of the principles matched perfectly. God tells us over and over about the value of being grateful. This is the foundation of Soaring.

Let me Give You a Beginning Peak at How to Soar

You can learn the exactnes of this strategy in the Engaging Your Energy Course currently being taught via Fabufit Zoom classes or by the Home Study Course, which is available now: https://gum.co/engagingenergy

This course comes with an added bonus of a daily Journal to guide you in baby steps in establishing this ever so valuable habit. Let me give you a little to get you started.

Practicing Gratitudes

May 6, 2021 by Dani Leave a Comment

Practicing Gratitudes

Practicing gratitudes is a tool I have loved for many years. The bible talks a bunch about the importance of being grateful.

We are pressing in to become MASTERS of Gratitude.
A Master at anything is someone who practices and practices the subject.

There is a law of Gratitude and to get the results you seek, it is absolutely necessary that you should observe this law. Gratitude encompasses love. Can’t have much gratitude or any without the emotion of love.

Christian Quotes on Gratefulness

The enemy of our soul and his forces rely upon you giving up in your mind. He wants your dominant thoughts to be thoughts of unthankfulness and defeat. God is for you. God is such a good God. Remember, there is an entire host of angels just waiting to work in your behalf.

Personal greatness will never be revealed if GRATITUDE is always concealed. ~ Keith Craft

´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.

Overcoming Slothfulness with Discipline

“God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of love and power and DISCIPLINE.” II Tim 1:7 NASB

Jim Rohn says that there are two pains in life: the pain of DISCIPLINE – and the pain of REGRET. Discipline weighs ounces.
Regret weighs tons when we allow life to drift along unfulfilled. Join us in our Engaging Your Energy course where we work on creating the habit of discipline as we develop the muscle of gratefulness.

Success and Failure are Choices

Success begins when you decide you aren’t going to quit. Failure begins when you decide, “I can’t take it anymore.” A choice!

Our Gratitude Score is our Gift Score

(Adapted from Mary Kay Mueller)

G - Gratefulness for the present. This is most likely our healthiest of all

emotions. It actually ranks above the status of emotions as it as our Pastor,

Keith Craft, says it is a positional attitude which we choose with our Spirit man.


I - Intentional Hope for the Future

F - Forgiveness of the Past

T - Trust moment by moment in a never-failing Heavenly Father.


- Mary Kay defines Attitude Score as “The percentage of the time that one is

thinking positively versus negatively (unforgiving, ungrateful, and hopeless and I

would add – without trust.)

Who Do You Attract?

We seem to attract people of like GIFT scores as our own. Oh dear, we might think. But we are continually

raising our GIFT score. It is just like us.

As If

Gratitudes – Begin to live right now “AS IF “what we are wanting to create is already here. Faith and Expectation through Gratitude are the fast route to living “AS IF”. As the Bible tells us, “We see the end in the beginning.”

Jesus in NT always seems to be saying…………I thank you Father. Jesus said I thank you before performing miracles versus after.

Protection from Worry

April 8, 2021 by Dani Leave a Comment

Protection from Worry

We can enjoy protection from worry, even though every day is a new day with new opportunities to fall prey to the plans of the enemy. Since God’s Word tells us not to worry; days without worry must be possible, maybe even weeks, months? This journey of learning to sidestep worry is one I am on with progress, I am grateful to say. The following are some things that have helped me tremendously in past days and years.

Fabufit Component of Being Free from Worry

Replacing worry with Trust from our never-failing Heavenly Father is a component of the Fabufit Journey toward Fabulous Fitness, Abundant Health, and Increased Happiness.

Fill Your Mind with Hope and Encouragement

My favorite source of hope and encouragement is early morning time reading God’s Word and praying. I love finding scripture promises I can write down and think on for the day. During this designated time block first thing in the morning, I also plan the day and read other inspiring things in my remaining time allotted. Right now I am slowly…….. going through a book by Kenneth S. Wuest: Word Studies in the Greek New Testament. It is a treasure house of gold as Wuest goes back to the Protectranslation of words and meanings as they were in original Greek. He says,” The Greek New Testament is waiting like a Virgin forest to be explored.”

Keith Moore of MooreLife Ministries has a free teaching series called “Take No Thought.”. It is wonderful for building faith in this area.

Find Faith, Prayer, Hope scriptures in abundance to strengthen you

Another short source of inspiration is a little daily devotional book called Jesus is Calling. This takes only a few minutes to read but many times contains such a thought to remember. Today’s reading was about Trust and Thankfulness:

Trust and Thankfulness

“Trust and thankfulness will get you safely through this day. Thankfulness keeps you from criticizing and complaining, those “sister sins” that so easily entangle you.” Trust protects you from worry and obsessing.

” Keeping your eyes on Me is the same as trusting Me. (Referring to our Lord) It is a free choice we must make thousands of times daily. The more you trust Me, the easier it becomes.” – Sarah Young, Jesus Calling

Cast all of your cares on Him because He cares for you.

– I Peter 5:7

In FABUFIT we like to daily think on our Gratitudes. This is such a good habit to develop. Friday I will send a simple recipe to cultivate happiness. Have you taken some time to think on your Graitudes for the past year?
