Let all that you do be done in love.
I absolutely love this verse. It’s helped me to get through a lot of dirty laundry, dirty dishes, and just some things I don’t want to do. It’s helped me to stop and listen to my 6 year old tell me about his villager dying while playing Minecraft. Or stopping everything to listen to one of my daughters tell me about the day they had. It’s helped me to stop and help a stranger when I didn’t have the time. It’s helped me to admit that I might actually be wrong a lot! It’s helped me to stay up late and wash the shirt or leggings one of my children needed for the next day. This verse has supported me in raising my children, being my best as a wife, being a good employee, and hopefully being a good friend and family member. It’s guided me to listen more intently, support others, and try to be less irritated with those whom I love.
Most importantly, this verse has helped me forgive unconditionally and reminded me that we are all human and make mistakes. Above all, it encourages me to approach everything with love. I still need this verse as a daily reminder, and some days I fall short, but keeping it close to my heart helps me make kinder, more loving choices more often than not. If I could have my children remember one verse or mantra for life, this would be it.
“I PAINT MY OWN REALITY”
“I Paint my own reality”, I included this quote over 20 years ago on my college graduation invitation. I heard the quote when we learned about Frida kahlo in one of my art classes. For the past 20 years, I’ve truly been the artist in creating this beautiful, abstract, colorful life of mine.
Happy Love Day!
Where you plant love, there you will find your Valentines.
I believe there’s a Valentine out there for each and everyone of you. There’s a husband or a wife, a boyfriend or a girlfriend. A mother or a father, a sister or a brother. A grand parent, a neighbor, a friend or even a special furry little companion. Valentines day is meant to be shared with those you love. Happy Valentines day!
Today’s Reminder
This too shall pass. A new season is guaranteed to be born. Whatever season you are currently in, whether you’re enjoying it or not, it will come to an end and a new season will begin. Put a jacket on, sit by a cozy fire and wait for the thaw.
Today’s Reminder
Today, look at the reasons why you’re so admirable. What special gifts did god give to you? What makes you unique? Can you see why those around you admire you.
I know one person who admire’s you! Me!
Today’s Reminder
“The Spirit has given each of us a special way of servings others” (1 Corinthians 12:7 CEV). Embrace who God made you to be, not who others want you to be. Discover your god given talent’s and skills and see how you can use it to serve others.
Today’s Reminder
There’s a time for winter, a time for spring. A time for summer and a time for fall. A time for stillness and a time for restlessness. A time to laugh and a time to cry. A time for fun and a time to be bored. A time to be awake and a time for rest. A time to fail and a time to rise. A time for friends, a time for family. A time for gatherings and a time to be alone. A time for celebrating and a time to mourn. A time to be young and a time to grow old. A time for uncertainty and a time for assurance. A time to have and a time for loss. But whatever your time, know that it will pass, good or bad.
Today’s Reminder
We don’t realize how much we need this dose of winter. Some of us ddon’t eel like we need it. The thought of being still and quiet with ourselves, and having less to do makes us so uncomfortable. But Winter is a time for rest, rejuvenation, and a time to improve health and mind. Time to restore and manage our energy reserves to prepare for the coming of spring.

James 1:19
Constantly working on this one. I rise in the early quiet morning with this intention and by later afternoon it can be quickly forgotten.
