Living By Example of God

"Follow Gods example in everything you do.
Live a life filled with love for others,
following the example of Christ..."
~ Ephesians 1:4

Are you living by the example of Jesus? 
You are not better than others.
You are not always right.
Are you quick to judge others? Find faults?
Give advise when it's not asked for?
Do you pick out the faults of others,
when you are not perfect.
Do you interrupt others while they are trying to
talk to you instead of listen to them
because in doing that you are saying
what you have to say is more important
than what they have to say.
Take a look at yourself today
- what can you change about yourself?
It's wonderful to do something nice for others,
to even tell someone how you appreciate them
or love something they have done - hold your tongue
when you want to find the faults of someone,
but be quick to say something kind and positive.
Build people up, don't tear them down.
Live with understanding, heart, love & kindness.

Happiness ~ Soothing your Soul

"I closed my eyes and drank in the powerful smell of blossoms, the sun warmed my face. My soul was at peace. My spirit felt happiness.

I could see the beauty in God's world"

Sometimes that is all we need to feel a sense of happiness in our lives, a chance to breath in and wash away all the "stuff" we carry with us.

We all need that once in a while, our lives in being the woman that we are,  require a little time for ourselves.

One of the hardest lessons I have learned in life was that no one else is responsible for making me happy. We make our own happiness and yes the people around you can contribute to your happiness - but in the end it only matters what we do with it, what it is that brings us joy, how we find it and how we hold on to it.

I try to start my day with a christian song or a bible verse. This brings me peace.

How will it work for you?

Do you volunteer, and act of kindness, bubble bath, take a walk or maybe a sip of your favorite tea.

You get to write the ending to your own story in this post.

Today choose to look for that one thing that brings your heart joy and then pass it on to someone else.

Hugs.

 

~ YOU WILL NEVER BE ALONE..~

“I will never leave you nor forsake you.” Hebrews 13:5

Do you ever feel alone?
When you walk in christian faith God promises you are not alone.
What an incredible promise that is.

Sometimes life just beats us up, sometimes we feel forgotten. This is what moved  me to start this blog, to share sadness, happiness and uplift woman no matter who you are. We all go through loneliness in our lives.
I am here to say you are not alone, I feel for you, you are beautiful, you are worthy and you are loved.
Take a deep breath and repeat those words out loud to yourself.
Open your eyes and heart to something beautiful ~ a new blossomed flower, a bird, the blue sky or a child's smile. Take a deep breath. I want you to feel better.
Take one minute at a time, take one day at a time.Calm your heart and quiet your mind. You are unique.
See the greatness in life that surrounds you. God has incredible love for you.
There is so much great beauty in yourself and life - go find it now.
