THANK YOU JESUS!!:)

"Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus."-1Thess.5:16-18NLT

"The best things are nearest: Breath in your nostrils, light in your eyes, flowers at your feet, duties at your hand, the path of God just before you."-Robert Louis Stevenson.

It's so easy to get stressed out, frustrated, upset and unhappy...But isn't it so much better to simply be HAPPY??? No matter your circumstances, you truly can be. It's up to you. "We tend to forget that happiness doesn't come as a result of getting something we don't have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have."-Frederick Koenig. The Lord gives us a million blessings daily and yet sometimes we are so focused on what's going wrong...that we don't even recognize all that's going right. Today, practice being happy. See how much your day improves. No matter what issues arise...consider all of the ways that it could be worse and thank the Lord that it isn't. Trust God so that worry doesn't block your ability to appreciate. God will provide for you; have faith, and enjoy life. If you are reading this right now...I can name a few things to be thankful for: You can see, you can comprehend, you own the luxury of a computer, if you have a computer, I'm assuming that you have a roof over your head, and electricity running throughout your home. "Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things."-Robert Brault. Sometimes, when I remember, I thank the Lord for each and every one of my senses one by one, and for all of my working limbs and organs. It may sound silly, but I couldn't imagine how much it would effect my life if just one of those things stopped working. "Hem your blessings with thankfulness so they don't unravel."-unknown. Be Happy today---you can accomplish this by simply being grateful for all things, great and small.

God Bless and Be a Blessing to Others:)

HAPPY HOME

Home is where the heart is, where you can laugh and cry freely, where all is forgiven, understood and accepted. Home is where true love exists, unconditional, unwavering love. I could travel to the furthest corners of the Earth, even fly off into space...With love in my heart...I can always be at home!:)

Recognize the value of each individual in your life. God knows exactly who you need in your life and he knows just when to place them there. Some are only there for a season, and some for a lifetime...yet all are equally important. Recently, I have learned this to be so very true. I have learned lessons and recieved blessings through some of the most unlikely sources or people...simply because I asked God to guide me. I guess you could say that I am practicing being "emotionally blindfolded" in a sense, with God as my guide. Unfortunately, certain people's seasons have passed in my life, yet I trust that those beautiful seasons will come again either with those same people or new ones in the future. Its funny because I'm at a point in my life right now where God is using people that I felt so distant from, to connect with me, encourage me, inspire and motivate me. I can't help but to laugh even, because I realize "yes...God does know exactly what he is doing." It makes me appreciate these people that much more. Everyone has a purpose in your life but we must remain open to learn what that purpose is. You never know, even your worst enemy may just be the one to teach you one of the greatest lesssons in your life. Today, I thank God for not listening to what I believed the plan for my life should have been...But I also thank each and every individual that I have ever encountered for helping me...because you all have in one way or another, without even knowing it...Thank You!!:)

Be Blessed and Be a Blessing to Others:)
