Make Someone's Day Special

by Kay Heitsch

Earlier today I posted about being a "Day Changer." when I thought of this little story. 

Bill and I went out to eat with his Aunt Chris and his cousins. During the course of the dinner Bill told Aunt Chris this little story.

Bill told how when he was little he really looked up to his Uncle Joe. When Uncle Joe married Aunt Chris he knew she must be very special.

Aunt Chris was a nurse. Back in those days the nurses wore all white. Bill was sure she was an angel! Not only because she wore white, but because she was also so pretty. Bill smiled and told Aunt Chris he had a big crush on her.

You should have seen Aunt Chris's face. She had the biggest smile and tears filled her eyes.

I'm sure Bill being kind and sharing this little story made her day special and it was also a day changer.

Be A Day Changer

 by Kay Heitsch

Remember that a smile or one kind word can change someone's day. Be a day changer!

I don't know about you, but I like it when people smile at me or say a kind word. It's pretty natural for me to smile, but I don't always say what I'm thinking to a stranger. Sometimes I do and I usually hear, "Thank you! You made my day!"

Our Bible verse says, "So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets." Matthew 7:12 NIV

We can all be a day changer when we remember to smile and say a kind word.

One Thought At A Time

 by Kay Heitsch

"Your mind can only hold one thought at a time. Make it a positive and constructive one." ~ H.Jackson Brown Jr.

"One Thought At A Time." Isn't that how the happiness of our days usually go?

I read somewhere that one positive thought to start our day can make a big difference. We all know that a negative mind will never give us a positive life.

Sometimes we need a break from their own thoughts. Our greatest weapon against stress is our ability to choose one thought over another.

Our Bible verse today from 2 Corinthians 10:5 talks about "Taking every thought captive." This tells me that we can choose one thought over another.

Since our minds can only hold one thought at a time let's make it a positive one!

Limited Edition

"I'm not weird I'm a limited edition. Be Happy! Be Bright! Be You!" ~ Quotes ~

When I saw today's quote I had to chuckle. It's good to remember that we are not weird we're all a limited edition. We should Be Happy! Be Bright! Be You!

Today's Bible verse, "Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous--how well I know it." Psalm 139:14 NLT

It's fine and dandy to Be Happy! Be Bright! Be You! After all, we're not weird! We're a limited edition! Thank you Lord!

Life is full of surprises! Sometimes I look up, smile and say, "I know that was you God. Thank You! ~ Blessed Quotes ~

Life is full of surprises! This sure has surprised me that I would keep doing this for 365 days! I have to look up, smile and say, "I know that was you God. Thank you!

Do Yourself A Favor

by Kay Heitsch

You'll be doing yourself a favor if you learn when self doubt knocks, you will answer with confidence.

We can't move forward if we park at the point of our pain. We all have bad things that happen to us. We can pull over and park or we can decide to move forward with confidence and be all we were created to be.

Don't be like the person who believes life has thrown them under the bus. Let's do ourselves a favor and drive the bus!

When self doubt knocks, answer with confidence. Always keep this Bible verse in your mind, "I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me." Philippians 4:13 WEB

Do yourself a favor and live with confidence.

One Day or Day One

by Kay Heitsch

One day or day one, you decide. ~ Quotes ~

I think we've all said, "One of these days I'll do that." We all put things off from time to time. I'm sure there are many reasons why.

The fear of failure might be one reason. But what would we attempt if we knew we wouldn't fail?

People even put off happiness. They think they can't be happy now, but ONE DAY they will when...

Today's Bible verse tells us, "This is the day which the LORD has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it." Psalm 118:24 NASB

One day or day one, we decide. No matter what you're putting off remember, "This is the day the day the Lord has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it."
