LOVE & ACCEPTANCE PROMISED
True Happiness
We think we know what will make us happy. It is seldom that we know because we look for happiness out there and expect it to be”gift-wrapped”. We can find happiness in moments when we can get outside ourselves to be fully attentive to the people God puts in OUR LIVES. HAPPINESS FLOWS between usContinue reading “True Happiness”
PUZZLE PIECES
Every Talent Counts
The Lord has given them special skills as engravers, embroiderers in blue, purple, and scarlet thread on fine linen cloth, and weavers. They excel as craftsmen and as designers (Exodus 35:35).
Comfy in Our Skin
“The battle to keep up appearances unnecessarily, the mask–whatever name you give creeping perfectionism–robs us of our energies.”–Robin Worthington
Pushed by OUR PAIN
I long for contentment and serenity in my life and I deserve those times. I earned them, but without life’s pain I would fail to recognize its value. “We tend to think of the rational as a higher order, but it is the emotional that marks our lives. One often learns more from ten daysContinue reading “Pushed by OUR PAIN”
SUCCESS
Success is taking positive action, nothing more. My attitude can help someone else succeed too.
Cages
“One must be leery of words because they turn into cages. – Viola Spolin

When uContinue reading “Everyday is a NEW BEGINNING”
It is not a Race
Today when I S-L-O-W down I am free and open to all the blessings that are meant just for me. Frantic and panic are old familiar friends. It’s time to kick them out from Our house.
Illusions
“It’s our illusions that hang us up.” – – Anne Wilson Schaef Our addictions lead us into a life of illusion. They feed our illusion of control, our illusion of perfectionism, and our honesty. Our addictive behavior allows us to deny reality and justify not living OUR life. One of the significant qualities of beingContinue reading “Illusions”
GOD’S Timetable
God’s Timetable is not necessarily Our Timetable. Events will happen as scheduled and for a bigger picture than Our ego will permit. I will take a long look at where I am today and be grateful for my place. It’s right for me now and is preparing me for my next adventure.
EXPECTATION
Expectations are like girdles. We probably should have discarded them years ago.
Problems
Problems give us the opportunity to learn something. If we don’t get the message the first time around, we get another chance, and another, and another. When we miss out on the learning each time the whack upside the head gets harder. Obstacles are gifts for learning. We never really know what we have learnedContinue reading “Problems”
