Hello Family,
Blessings, love, and peace to you and your family.
Blessings, love, and peace to you and your family.
1 Chronicles 16:34
O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever. Psalm 92:1 It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O Most High: Thanksgiving was just a few days ago. Did you find anything to be thankful for? DId you say thank you to anybody? The Thanksgiving holiday comes around once a year. How did you spend the holiday? Were you with family or friends or were you all alone. Were you not feeling well or were you feeling great until you ate until you got sick. Did you do all or some of the cooking or did you just have to show up and eat? Was your holiday loud with laughter, music, fun and games or was it quiet and nice or quiet and boring? Regardless of how you answered any of the questions, I think you can find at least one thing to be thankful for. Thanksgiving comes once a year, but blessings that we can be thankful for come every day. Let's say we remember that and say thank you every day. Say thank you to God, family, friends or for situations that might not feel so good right now. When we do we will see more things to be thankful for. Give it a try. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

Have you ever been misunderstood?
How did you feel when it happened? What did you think and what did you do? If you're alive and living on this earth, there is going to be some misunderstandings between you and somebody. How did misunderstandings make me feel? I felt devastated. I felt like the person thought that I was a horrible person. I felt like I wasn't being heard. What did I do? I carried that misunderstanding for days, weeks, months maybe even for years. I thought that I was a horrible person, (because somebody misunderstood me). Really? I carried guilt and shame and allowed my self-esteem (which was already almost nonexistent), to go down some more. Well, I've grown over time and learned that we can't or at least shouldn't live our lives based on how people think or feel. If we find ourselves in a situation where we've been misunderstood, if the person will listen, explain to them what you meant or what you were trying to do. If they listen or not use this as a stepping stone for your growth. I'm choosing not to carry other's feelings on my person. I'm using the opportunity to pray for them, for their feelings and their life. I'm using the misunderstanding to grow and to watch my words not to hurt the next person in that same way. One day you will misunderstand someone. So if you are misunderstood or if you misunderstand someone, don't hold a grudge just learn from it and walk in love. What are you affirming for yourself? Weather good or bad, what you believe and think will become your truth.
Sharing some of my affirmations with you: * I am healthy, well and whole * I am God's Masterpiece * I belong * I remember the self in self respect * I am here on purpose * I am humble and confident * I am beautiful, bold and courageous * I am smart, wise, funny and fun * I attract success and abundance * I am always grateful Just a few of my affirmations. Whatever, you want to see happen in your life start affirming it today. Have you ever thought about your best and your worst character traits.
If you have or haven't take a few moments now to think about them. Your best trait may be: Honesty Dependability Kindheartedness Thoughtfulness Loyalty Generosity Humility Patience Compassion Plus a lot more....... find yours. Your worst trait may be: Disloyalty Deceitfulness Dishonesty Selfishness Greed Disrespectfulness Vengefulness Narcissism Plus a lot more...... find yours. Try this little exercise. Pick out your best and worst traits. You may want to hang on to your best trait and get rid of the worst. Try focusing on your good trait every day. Not in a braggadocious or prideful way, but in a way that shows gratitude for that trait. When you focus on your good trait/s more you should see a change in your behavior. What you focus on will increase. I think we all want to get better and be better people so let's accentuate the positive. Keep doing this exercise until you change your life. |
