You Are Loved

"May you always know you are loved!" ~ Quotes ~
This is just a little reminder to those who question if they are loved. You are! No matter what you may be feeling or going through always remember, you are loved!
God is love! His love is unconditional! We may not understand why things happen as they do, but that doesn't mean we are not loved. God says, "I have loved you with an everlasting love!" (see Jeremiah 31:3)
To everyone, and especially the mother's with a broken heart today, I want to let you know, You Are Loved!

Right Before Your Eyes

Nothing is really lost until your mother can't find it. ~ Quotes ~
I remember crying when I was little, "I can't find it!" Usually my mom would say, "Did you really look?" Of course, I really looked! A few minutes later in she would walk. She'd pick up what I was looking for with these words, "Here it is, right before your eyes."
After I had my own children I'm sure I said these same words. "Did you really look?" and "Here it is right before your eyes."
It's funny how Moms can find things that their children can't see even though they are right before their eyes.
It's like that in life. Sometimes we can't see things that are right before our eyes. Lord, give us eyes to see.

Don't Miss The Sun Today

"Don't miss the sun today worrying about the rain tomorrow." ~Quotes ~
How often do we miss the good things today because we are worrying about what might happen tomorrow?
It must be human nature to worry about things. I say that because someone has stated that there are 365 'do not worry' texts in the Bible. I think that's awesome and there must be a good reason for it.
Let's not miss the sun today worrying about the rain tomorrow.

Drop it! Let it go!

"The only path in which something or someone can upset us is through our own thoughts. Drop it! Leave it! Let it go!" ~ Quotes
If there was ever some great advice this is it! When we hear something that upsets us we can save ourselves a lot of stress if we will just drop it and let it go!
We can't change people even though we may like to try. Maybe the best thing to do is, "Give them a good leavin' alone!" as my dad would tell me.
The same is true in life's situations. We live in upset a lot of times because we choose to think and talk about something over and over.
Today's Bible verse tells us why our lives are shaped the way they are, "Be careful how you think; your life is shaped by your thoughts." Proverbs 4:23 GNT Also ...if you have anything against anyone, forgive him [drop the issue, let it go] (See Mark 11:25)
We need to be careful how we think. The only path that anything can upset us is through our own thoughts. We can choose to drop it and let it go!

It's The Little Things That Matter

"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a hug. These are the little things that make life big." ~ Quotes
Sometimes we forget that it's the little things that count. One day we will look back and see that it was all the little things that made life big.
We seldom remember a whole day, but we do remember some small thing that happened that made the day special.
All things done in love are never little. The Bible says, our love for one another proves we are His disciples. (see John 13:35)
Today I hope we remember to do little things with love. One day we'll look back and realize that they were actually the big things that gave life meaning.

Be Yourself

"Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself." ~ Quotes ~
I enjoy being around people who don't try to be someone they aren't. People who are comfortable with who they are radiate beauty.
In Psalms 139:14 it says, "Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous--how well I know it"
In a world where you can be anything...Be Yourself! Everyone else is taken.

Make It Count

M-O-N-D-A-Y
Maybe this day is not
One of your favorites, but
Never forget that every
Day you wake up is an
Amazing gift and it's up to
You to make it count!
I saw this little MONDAY quote today and I thought it said a lot. It's so right that everyday is an amazing gift and it's up to us to make it count.
As everyone knows by now Psalm 118:24 is a favorite of mine. It doesn't say MONDAY but it says, "This is the day which the LORD has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it." Psalm 118:24 NASB
Monday and everyday is an amazing gift. And it's up to us to make it count.
