HE DID NOT CREATE US WITH LABELS
June 29, 2018Unlabeled
The happy little dandelion
growing in the field
smiled toward heaven
all the while.
No one ever said
“you’re just a weed”
so he had no doubt
that he was loved.
Perhaps
there is a lesson
here for me?

HOW TO MAKE A BAD DAY GOOD
June 2, 2018FIND A REASON TO REJOICE TODAY!
NOT AS HARD AS YOU THINK!
I get stressed, especially when I multitask and demand too much from myself! The Lord doesn’t give us more than we can handle – we do!
- Take a praise break! Can’t thiink of anything good about your day?
- relax your muscles
- breath deeply
- close your eyes
- say “Lord, thanks for loving me!”
- repeat until chest tightness relaxes
- REJOICE!

AUTHENTICITY
April 20, 2018To repeat another’s words
rather than my own
is the same
as wearing a borrowed hat,
or chasing someone else’s dream.
In order to change the world
for the better
I must be authentic
to do my part.
I am a unique creation of the Most High!
His plan .. . His gifts . . .are best.

Among Weeds and Thorns
January 10, 2018
When the garden is filled with weeds
Yet one stubborn flower
Finds the strength to grow,
Am I to frown
Because it is the only one?
Is it not a very welcomed blessing?
Surely its beauty
Nourishes my hungry soul
Giving me the strength
To tackle the overgrowth
Of opposition
Not unlike the single
Blooming rose
Basking in the midst
Of thorns;
Hope
Of a coming new season!

STAND AGAINST SAVAGE BEHAVIOR!
July 9, 2017We live in a world where savage behavior is considered cool and songs, books, movies, Ebooks, posters, plays, and more make the message clear and the performers wealthy for displaying acts of savagery while acts of kindness have ACTUALLY been known to inspire it! KIND FOLKS ARE FREQUENT VICTIMS!
THIS MUST CHANGE! LET’S BEGIN TODAY!
WORLD PEACE BEGINS WITH YOU! SHARE THIS MESSAGE!
