Beautify Your Life

by Kay Heitsch

Kindness is like snow - it beautifies everything it covers. ~ Winter Quotes ~

When my friend Bea died I shared this with a cashier at Kroger. Linda stepped out from behind the register and gave me a big hug. Now that's a perfect example of kindness.

Our Bible verse today says, "Be kind and compassionate to one another..." Ephesians 4:32

When we show kindness and compassion it's like snow - it beautifies everything it covers.

Look For The Good

by Kay Heitsch

For beautiful eyes look for the good in others. For beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness. ~ Look For The Good quotes ~

I heard a message today where the teacher said, "Instead of being a fault finder be a good finder. Look for the good." Wouldn't our lives be better if we put this into practice?

Our Bible verse today says, "Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud." 1 Corinthians 13:4

If we walk in love we will be patient and kind. We will look for the good in others and speak kind words. We won't be a fault finder but we'll be a good finder.

Opportunity List

by Kay Heitsch

Rename your To-Do list to your Opportunity List. ~ To-Do List quotes ~

Our Opportunity List for today: Count our blessings, practice kindness, let go of what we can't control, listen to our heart, be productive yet calm, just breathe.

Our Bible verse today says, "Therefore, whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone--especially to those in the family of faith." Galatians 6:10

When we think of our To-Do List we may feel overwhelmed. But if we think of it as an Opportunity List this may help to relieve some pressure.

Whenever we have an opportunity we can count our blessings, be kind, let go of what we can't control, listen, be productive yet calm and just breathe.

It's Time To Say Goodbye

by Kay Heitsch

Our eyes are in front because it's more important to look ahead than look back. ~It's Time To Say Goodbye Quotes ~

Today is my friend Bea's funeral. It's time to say, Goodbye. I won't be able to be there but I'll be there in spirit that's for sure.

Today may also be a time to say goodbye to other things in our lives. It's time to say goodbye to things that hurt us. It's time to say goodbye to anger, unforgiveness, jealousy, being judgemental. The list is endless.

Our Bible verses today say, "Get rid of all bitterness, rage, and anger, outcry, and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and tender-hearted to one another, forgiving each other just as in Christ God forgave you." Ephesians 4:31 & 32

Let's say goodbye to the things that hurt us. Our eyes are in front of us because it's important to look ahead. Let's be kind and tender-hearted to one another, forgiving each other just as Christ God forgave us.

How Bad Do You Want It?

by Kay Heitsch

Do something today that your future self will thank you for. It comes down to one simple thing: How bad do you want it? ~ Doing The Right Thing When It's Hard Quotes ~

We all make choices every day. I've made many choices that have had both a positive and negative impact on my life.

Our Bible verse today says, "Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses. Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Oh, that you would choose life so that you and your descendants might live!" Deuteronomy 30:19 NLT

Doing the right thing isn't always easy. In fact, it can be very hard at times. But doing the right thing is always the right thing. It comes down to how bad do we want it?

When we do the right thing our future self will thank us for it. Remember to choose life. It will not only affect us but our descendants as well. Now, that's something to think about.

I Want

by Kay Heitsch

Never let the things you want make you forget the things you have. ~ Life Quotes ~

It's easy at this time of the year to think about the things we want. People ask, "What do you want?" Children have a long list of what they want. Adults, not so much. It's nice to have new things but we should not forget what we already have and be thankful.

Our Bible verse says, Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever. Psalm 118:1

At Christmas time and all through the year let's remember to never let the things we want make us forget the things we have.

But God...

by Kay Heitsch

Never let a bad situation bring the worst out of you. Choose to be positive and be the strong person that God created you to be. ~ But God Quotes ~

We all go through bad situations in life. It's easy to get upset and let the situation bring the worst out of us. We may not understand it and it may not be fair, but God...

Our Bible verse today says, "You intended to harm me, but God intended it all for good. He brought me to this position so I could save the lives of many people." Genesis 50:20

No matter how bad the situation may be we know God can bring good out of it. It may be intended to harm us, but God... We can choose to stay positive and be the strong people God created us to be.
