Tip of the Day 1/9/12

As we take down Christmas decorations it can leave a feeling of letdown. The tree lights and things we use once a year bring an atmosphere of coziness to our homes. Add a couple of new touches to your home to start the year. Maybe a dish stored away would make a pretty centerpiece or a new pillow in a daring color, add some flameless candles. A few minor changes can brighten your home.

Word for Today, Victory: "We will rejoice in Your salvation, and in the Name of our God we will set up our banners!" As I read this verse I was struck by the image of the fans at the football games we watched yesterday holding their banners up for the TV cameras to spot. I realized my life is to be a banner declaring the victory I have in Jesus. What is the banner of your life saying about you today? "The Lord is my Banner."
