Wow! This is Karen's Korner #3000!

Who knew when I started sending out these weekday inspirational thoughts (mine & others), Bible verses and what they might mean, and short thoughts, I would get this big of a collection! It started in March 2003! (And every one of them are archived in www.karens-korner.com .)

Thank you to every one of you who read what I type and send daily!

You may think that you are the 'receiver'. But it is me who 'receives', as I read, study, research, share. I would tend not to be so deliberate or focused each day without knowing that a 'Karen's Korner' needed to be sent. I learn so much from you.........and from God....by doing this. I love some of your responses or requests back. I don't get lots of them daily (nor do I expect them!). God knows exactly how many I 'need'; just some......now and then.

And I have learned so much.

As an ongoing reader, you know me and many of my themes:

* God really loves you and me; don't understand why;

* He is faithful and well-ordered in our lives and in the universe;

* Being thankful is the key to life and good mental health, even what may be happening isn't what we like;

* God is willing to instruct us into 'good living', not trying to spoil our lives;

* What He promises us, He will do;

* Living and enjoying one day at a time, is possible. And it adds up to a good life.

* This life isn't the only one for us to enjoy. There is one coming that is better and lasts for eternity!

*

In looking back at some of my first Karen's Korners, here are a couple of short thoughts from KK #3:

"When confronted with a Goliath-sized problem, which way do you respond:

'He's too big to hit', or like David, 'He's too big to miss'."

"No matter what we think nor how we feel;

Jesus and His Love for us always remains the same!"
