Strange Day

Today seems to be a strange feeling day. Kind of emotional. No one is home for a change and that does feel wonderful to have some alone time. As I sit here, listening to some worship music I'm finding myself not in the right place with God. I feel like God is saying, "don't waste it child". Maybe a pull to get down on my knee's and have a meaningful talk. When God calls you to talk with Him don't pull away, just do as He asks.

10 Rules For A Blessed Day

1. Today I Will Not Strike Back
If someone is rude, if some is impatient, if some is unkind, I will not respond in a like manner.

2. Today I Will Ask God To Bless My 'Enemy
If I come across someone who treats me harshly or unfairly, I will quietly ask God to bless that individual. I understand "enemy" could be a family member, neighbor, co-worker or stranger.

3. Today I Will Be Careful About What I Say
I will carefully choose and guard my words being certain that I do not spread gossip.

4. Today I Will Go The Extra Mile
I will find ways to help share the burden of another person.

5. Today I Will Forgive
I will forgive any hurts or injuries that come my way.

6. Today I Will Do Something Kind For Someone (But I Will Do It In Secret...)
I will reach out anonymously and bless the life of another.

7. Today I Will Treat Others The Way I Wish To Be Treated
I will practice the golden rule. "Do Unto others as I would have them do unto me" - with EVERYONE I encounter.

8. Today I Will Raise The Spirits Of Someone Who Is Discouraged
My smile, my words, my expression of support, can make the difference to someone who is wrestling with life.

9. Today I Will Nurture My Body
I will eat less. I will eat only healthy foods. I will thank God for my body.

10. Today I Will Grow Spiritually
I will spend a little more time in prayer today. I will begin reading something spiritual or inspirational; I will find a quiet place (at some point during this day) and listen to God's voice.


Luke 10:27

He answered: 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind'; and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'

We learn three principles about loving our neighbor:

(1) lack of love is often easy to justify, even though it is never right;
(2) our neighbor is anyone of any race, creed, or social background who is in need; and
(3) love means acting to meet the person's needs. Wherever you live, there are needy people close by. there is no good reason for refusing to help.

Remember, today is a gift from God so treat it preciously

Emotional

I'm feeling a bit emotional today. Battling with envy that I wish I didn't have. From time to time I envy what other people have and I know God hates envy. I guess it just comes back every time I look around my house. Yes house, not home because it just doesn't feel like one. Inside or outside and that's where the envy comes from. I want normal, but what is normal??? I don't want some big mansion, some pricey car but I want what looks normal and not a run down shack and a car falling a part.

Lord help me to be happy where I am in life. You have taken care of all my needs and the envy is a slap in your face and that is not how I want to be.

A Week to Relax

It's been a week of relaxing at the apt. well kind of. Been cleaning and canning. The wedding is done, the birthday party is done and I now I'm trying to find things to do. Really I shouldn't worry about having nothing to do since next week I'll be at home all week and there is lots to do there. Next week is Ayden's 1 year check up and a bucket load of shots. Poor guy is coming down with a cold and this morning is all he wants to do is lay around, no playing for him. Now that is sick...lol he don't even want to play in his ball pit. Still not sure how we are going to get there since my car died last week and there will be no fixing it. It's to old and will cost to much for what it is worth. Hey Deana, I found a website to go check out. It's called, "A Wise Woman Builds Her Home". The link is on my page.

I'm alive

It has probably been a good year since I have even seen my blog. But today Deana got me thinking about writing down my thoughts about my daughter Nicole's wedding. She is getting married in 2 weeks and I found that it takes so much more energy then I ever dreamed. So in the next few days, when I have a few minutes to spare, I will start writing about it.
