Just want to share the thoughts of my heart with you today.
My something better than--- list...
Something better than life...
Psalm 63:3 “Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.”
Something better than gold and silver...
Psalm 119:72 “The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver.”
Something better than hanging out anywhere in this world...
Psalm 84:10 “For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.”
Something better than all the seemingly precious stuff this world has to offer...
Proverbs 8:11 “For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.”
Something better than living by feelings...
Proverbs 16:32 “He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.”
Something better than fake friendship...
Proverbs 27:5 “Open rebuke is better than secret love.”
Something better than individuality...
Ecclesiastes 4:9 “Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.”
Something better than laughter...
Ecclesiastes 7:3 “Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better.”
Something better than a life with no trials to learn from...
Ecclesiastes 7:8 “Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.”
Something better than depending on yourself...
Matthew 6:26 “Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?”
Something better than having a pity party...
Luke 12:24 “Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?”
Who is better than me? Everyone...
Philippians 2:3 “Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.”
A note from The Beautiful For Thee Editor:
The thoughts presented from Dianne on Choice Silver, come from her personal experience from her bed of affliction. She lives with physical debilitation, every day. Pain and weakness are her constant companions. Her words of wisdom are not the empty babblings of pious Christianity, but truth learned first hand. Her faith is real. Most days, that is all she has to lean on. Because of adversity…she is growing strong in the Lord and she inspires me.
May all who read her thoughts, be blessed and challenged.

Thank you Dianne for these golden nuggets. God's word puts things in the right perspective. This I can ponder and chew on for a while. Keep it up. Take care.
With love, Susan N.
