Don’t Be Discouraged
Don’t Be Discouraged
Ps. 16:11
“You have made known to me
The path of life;
You will fill me with
Joy in your presence,
With eternal pleasures…”
Do not allow discouragement
To settle into your bones;
Face it, conquer it, and
Replace it with Hope.

Set your net to the other side of the boat.
Catch plentifully the colorful fish waiting there.
Discouragement is a powerful destructive force.
We have the power to choose a different response.
With the Father’s help,
We can get through seasons of discouragement,
in spite of living in a flawed world as flawed people.
Face it. Conquer it. Replace it with HOPE.
Turn to God who turns to you
And lifts your spirits, putting your life back on track.
He loves you. He cares. Believe. Trust.
Do not be discouraged. Pray – and know
I’m praying for you, too!

What have you caught with your positivity lately?
Thanks, dear WP friends, for visiting.
Have a productive day.

This photo was supposed to be just above the phrase,
“Do not let discouragement settle into your bones.”
Instead, with this new block editor, it keeps showing up down here.
I can’t figure out how to get things to go where I want them
with this new block editor program.
But I will not let it master me.
I will not be discouraged!
Tenacity, Jan, Tenacity!!!

See ya later!


























John’s Rustic Originals made with old kitchen silverware and utinsels were so clever!
The barbed wire artist was new to us this year. His creations were fascinating.
One booth was for Ennis Arts Association members
who wanted to display one to three items,
but didn’t want to fill a booth space of their own.
The three in the background are the work of Carle McCambridge.
Carla Cavaiani used old spoons to create beautiful art pieces.
