Forward Friday

 

I’ve seen the lighting up of people’s eyes- when you have done something nice for them; it’s a priceless feeling.

Forward kindness today and let the windows to the soul thank you.

Happy Friday, Readers!

Does the image below remind you of you?

If so, I hope you look up long enough to see the message!

How did we as a society become so engulfed in the cyber-world?

Don’t get me wrong, the cyber world can be a beautiful thing…and the proof is in this blog!

I’d never be able to connect with you-or-you with I, if it weren’t for technology.

Clearly, people want to feel connected so badly… so why don’t we start by actually connecting with the people right in front of us!!!

 

 

 

Don’t Worry

Mantra Monday

 

I will stay in the word because…

“He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers.” ~Psalm 1:3

Scripture Sunday

Psalm 119:105

“Your word is a lamp for my feet,
a light on my path.”

 

Ear + Heart + Health = God’s Best

Proverbs 4:20-22

“My son, pay attention to what I say;
turn your ear to my words.
²¹ Do not let them out of your sight,
keep them within your heart;
²² for they are life to those who find them
and health to one’s whole body.”

Forward Friday

Pass your cheerful face around your neighbor, and inspire some kindness!

This Friday, look for ways to forward an extra dose of kindness!

Happy Friday!

 

 

Quote

“Prayer offers us a way out of our fear. It is all a matter of calling upon Jesus' name. Only in His name is there help. The more we call upon His name, the more we will experience this truth.”

Mother Basilea Schlink (1904-2001)

 

Living

Proverbs 4:4

“My father taught me,
Take my words to heart.
Follow my commands, and you will live.”

 

God is the truth, the light, and the way. To truly live, make sure that you are taking HIS words, HIS ways, and HIS teaching to heart. Learn to talk the way HE talks and learn to respond in the way HE would respond in situations. To make HIS ways your ways, you must truly get HIS words rooted in you-deeply rooted in you.

To get God’s ways rooted in your heart- is by meditating and studying HIS word, by being aware of how you talk and think throughout your day so you can correct and tweak anything that is not of HIM.

Watch your heart, only feed your heart with the truth, the light, and the way…and that my friend, is living!

To My Friend…

 

This post is dedicated to my best friend.

Many people can relate to me when I call my beloved dog my friend.

My dog, a happy and joyful pet, graced my presence for 14 beautiful years.

She was a true beauty and a true friend.

Once, many years ago, I was upset…upset to the point where I was sobbing on the floor with my hands on my face. I’ll never forget how my dog knew I was in pain and tried to cheer me up; she was giving me kisses on the cheek and was literally trying to sit on my lap in an attempt to hug me; It is impossible to forget that comforting moment.

My friend loved me and I loved her.

My friend was there for me in times when no one else was.

My friend and I shared so much together; it’s hard to think of a time when she wasn’t with me.

She had many friends and lots of family that also loved her.

I had to say goodbye to my friend a couple of days ago and saying goodbye felt like the hardest thing to do.

I wanted to honor her with this post and share her memory with you all.

I wanted to publicly thank her for being my dog, for being my best friend, for always being there for me, for having unconditional love, for the companion, and even teaching me certain life lessons.

Saying goodbye to my dog reminds me to slow down, to enjoy each day that we have, to enjoy the company of our loves, because no matter how stable life can be, change is inevitable.

My Readers, please give me a few more days before my next post.

I know this is not the most elegant post, but it is hard to use words to describe my love for my dog.

I dedicate this post to my dog and to any dog or pet that has touched the lives of any human heart.

Thank you, my love, for those beautiful 14 years of grace and love!

Peace be with you.
