Waking Up Isn’t Always Cheerful Or Easy, But It Is Worth It

Waking Up Isn’t Always Cheerful Or Easy, But It Is Worth It

         We awaken each day to new possibilities, but it may not always be so cheerful in how it is presented to us.  It is our choosing to react or respond accordingly and make the best of each situation.

         Opening our senses to shine brightly can bring joy to all brought to a path near to us.  And as we share blessings then so many are uplifted with our contributions that raise the esteem of others.

         A restful night’s sleep might give us a productive start to our morning and that may be the boost needed to accomplish a good day.  To be woken up whether by alarm or the light or whatever throws us into the events amid the turmoil all around.

         A good mood could help us achieve the necessary magnificence and choosing positives that may fill us with joy.  Deciding to shine and spill light can focus us on others giving renewed perspectives.  Being awake is worth it for us and for others!

         Any challenges faced give opportunities for results that can raise the stakes to incredible levels with unimagined blessings.  We have so much shining light in us and around us that we can spill unto others incredibly to make their life fuller.  Cherish and share the “worth-it” moments!

Count Your ______!

Count Your ______!

         Count your blessings instead of your crosses, your gains instead of your losses, your joys instead of your woes, your friends instead of your foes, your smiles instead of your tears, your courage instead of your fears, and your health instead of your wealth.  Count on God instead of yourself.

         Focusing on the positives gives us more hope-filled moments that we can have an upward looking perspective.  When our viewpoint has brighter images we’re sensing then the sparkle touches us more closely.

         The words of others may have light shining abilities that raise us in so many ways to newer heights.  Relying on our Support Group can boost our morale to levels we might rarely realize existed.

         “Count your ______’ could add or even multiply the treasures maybe unimagined, and lifts us immensely.  Blessings are tremendous in how they affect us and all reached as it builds up incredibly.

         The magnificence of tallying the good things in our life cherish values as gems to bestow great worth upon us.  When we recognize the niceties over the ugliness then we’ve met the challenge of kindness.  Be caring!

Grief Changes ______!

Grief Changes ______!

         I’ve seen “Grief is the price of love.”  So when we lose love, there’s a period of grieving that we go through.  Grief changes us immensely, as well as puts a strain on relationships we have.

         There is no set time for dealing with the feelings of losing a loved one because that is unique for each of us.  Various things could be reminders to bring to mind memories so meaningful.

         Missing a person may be a lifelong journey as we cope with so much in the way of adjustments to them no longer being a part of our lives.  It can be challenging to make the changes as the impact is significant.

         The process of grieving might also sharpen our senses if only we let it happen that way as a possibility.  It could be valued and valuable to bloom in how we grow stronger.

         Inspirations built up in us may be personal benefits as well as shared ones with others too.  Something seemingly negative can result in positive outcomes.  Changes in us have light spilling chances; Let that occur!

Part Of Our Family - “One Of Us”

Part Of Our Family

- “One Of Us”

         Our connections are valued and valuable in so many ways, plus they are our Support Group.  We receive encouragement that helps moving us forward in incredible directions.

         Being inspired by the words and actions of others gives a tremendous boost to the progress we sense.  The important role we share in our family can be seen in the word – f-AM-I-ly and how we’re linked.

         There is so much more than the “limited us”, and a bigger community in which we are included.  I’ve been asked, what’s more important, journey or destination; but I add a third feature, the companions.

         Those who walk with us make an incredible difference the way we’re sensing our surroundings.  The person we are and become is a collection of many things we have amassed as we’ve travelled through life.

         The stories shared are part of the magnificent saga that is our journey and blocks building us up as incredible structures.  We make a unified core in how fittingly connected is our make-up.  Family bonds are strengthened.

One Choice/Step At A Time

One Choice/Step At A Time

         Our lives are filled with decisions and one choice or each step makes quite a difference.  Any forward moves made can provide necessary inputs to get us propelled in positive directions.

         We get inspirations from varied sources as long as we’re open to the reception of the gifts,  But receiving the present is only part of the process, we must also unwrap the package and put it to good use.

         A writer shares about spilling light as a way of spreading treasures in our lives with others.  Our conversations and questions could be sparks to brighten someone’s perspective.

         The progress achieved may lift all to incredible heights and raise our possibilities beyond any we’ve imagined.  Being energized to do amazing things is certainly within our grasp, and easily attainable.

         As a Support Group for each other we can be encouraging by being there side by side and listening   Our presence provides companionship as we are nearby to people we encourage.  Be there, lift them up.

Are You Ready To ……?

Are You Ready To ……?

         We’re always on the verge of that next step toward our future goals to begin the pursuits that inspire us to reach.  Being energized on paths might be the spark giving life to the dreams maybe thought beyond grasping.

         In motivating us to do the necessary things that get a process started as we make connections to an endeavor we try to achieve.  The words and actions of another could be the prodding we need to move us forward unto that seemingly elusive goal.

         If our readiness needs encouragement we must be open to receive it, as well as unwrap the gifts given and put them to good use.  To benefit us in any way the effectiveness is contingent on our willingness to accept that which is bestowed us as receivers.

         Taking it in easily is the choice to make and let the giver’s generous acts be forthcoming and allow them the ability to do their thing.  Serving is a decision for each of us and within our giving capacity.

         We are all rich enough to give, something and our generosity can be even as simple as a smile shared.  To brighten someone’s day and lift the spirits of another could be an important act.  Ready as ever, we are!

Balance Of ……!

Balance Of ……!

         Our lives are filled with ups and downs, and we have the choice to find the balance between so many challenges we face.  To take in ideas we’re fed through inspirational words and actions of others, pursuing the best version of ourselves is well within our reach.

         Getting weighed properly might give us the true perspective toward right reasoning and sensing correct directions.  But holding on overly too much could be harmful to our psyche.

         On a scale to measure accurately we may get the feedback that has a brightening effect in our lives and the opportunities to spill light are there.  I’ve heard, “We may not be able to do all the good the world needs, but the world needs all the good we can do.”

         As I sat in Church on day something inspired me, that I wanted note it down to remember it.  I took one of the “Supplementary Envelopes”, jotting the thought down.

         The word “Supplementary ……” stuck with me as an added feature in the bonus I get to keep.  We are so balanced, if only we allow it to happen, and then get to share with others the blessings.  Wait, weight changes it all.

Be IMPACT-ful

Be IMPACT-ful

         The influence of our actions is immense.  I’ve heard “We cannot do all the good the world needs.  But the world needs all the good we can do.”  So have an impact to a great extent.

         We get inspired by others and we inspire many that cross paths with us in varied ways.  Our words and acts might be just what someone needs to get them through challenging times.

         Edmund Burke said, “No one made a bigger mistake than he who did nothing because he could only do a little.”  So even your attempt to do what you can counts for something.

         Recognize the neediness around us and step in to make changes as much as we can offer.  Over the years I’ve realized, “We are all rich enough to give, something.”  Even if it is simply a smile.

         In a ministry to the homeless I’ve found out that they want to be seen and not just given stuff.  We all want to be valued for who we are, humans.  The impact we have on each other builds us up significantly.  Be affective!

Mess And Test Extensions

 Mess And Test Extensions

         A Mess and a Test can have positivity with extensions and change lives along the way.  God makes a mess into a message, and a test with some enhancement could be a testimony.

         We may benefit immensely from the messages and testimonies that are presented to us through various sources.  Our inspirations help make some great achievements and share with others incredibly too,

         The thoughts and words of another person would motivate our acts toward magnificent heights and raises us to be tremendous blessings.  To become the best version of ourselves we take the precious gifts bestowed upon us and make it shine the best way possible.

         Turning a mess into a message and transforming a testimony out of a test might be the miraculous change we’ve been seeking.  A problem could become positive if only we move in that direction.

         The tremendous additives to our challenges could change the views to grow some new prospects maybe unimagined before.  Our beings might be transformed into some bright consequences.  Be extended, light it up!
