Feeling gloomy, lately? Or a little down? Or maybe you feel drained of all your energy? I get that way sometimes. Believe me, it’s not fun. Not only is it not fun, but I don’t have time for it! I usually wake up every morning quoting (more like declaring) Psalm 118:24, “This is the day the Lord has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it.” However, sometimes life just happens and gets you off kilter. I’ve found a few scriptures to share that are bound to help turn the gloomy situations around.

“A merry heart does good, like medicine, but a broken spirit dries the bones.”- Proverbs 17:22. Surround yourself with happy, positive people. Laughter really is the best medicine.

“Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the bones.”- Proverbs 16:24. Once again, surround yourself with only the positive. And don’t forget to remain positive yourself. Being encouraged is great and helps so much, but remember to also be an encourager.

 

Emily

Emily is a busy stay at home mom & wife to Markus, who is the assistant pastor at the church they both grew up in, & resides in a very small Kentucky town. Together they have 2 little girls, ages 6 & 4. She is still in many ways a child at heart & can often times be found acting random & silly. She does know when to be serious & focused on God, however, doing all she can to reach Heaven. She is Karen's baby sister & one of Angie's closest friends. As a matter of fact, Emily's youngest is betrothed to Angie's middle son. (Or so we wish...) In 15 years, she will turn 40. (We'll have to explain that one some time...)
