MARRIED 42YRS. TO MY HUSBAND, MOTHER OF 3, GRANDMOTHER OF 7, GREAT-GRANDMOTHER OF 3, ...I LOVE GOD BECAUSE HE IS MY ALL AND ALL, WITHOUT GOD IN MY LIFE, I KNOW THAT I AM NOTHING....
We have a saying with Little Bear when something at home gets broken: "Don't worry, Pop Pop can try and fix it." Some pieces are not fixable, but yet they are still usable.
I collect pottery. Each piece is beautiful. Some are smooth with bright shades. They are perfectly shaped, with no visible flaws. I also have other pieces just as beautiful. These pieces are worn on the surface with faded colors. Some are chipped, cracked, or broken in places. Whisper: some are held together with glue.
Today for some pieces of broken pottery, I hear whispers in the winds of: worthless, replace, not good enough, no more use or purpose for, toss, imperfect, upgrade, unfit. Sadly these words speak towards people as well. Isa45:9 Rom9:21
Some pieces the Lord may choose to fix/glue. Isa61:1-3 reminds us: to bind up the broken hearted, to bestow on them beauty for ashes. Psm147:31Pet2:4
But then, there are some pieces that the Lord sees no need for fixing.
2 Cor12:7-10 reminds us that Paul pleaded with the Lord to take away his thorn in the flesh. v9 But He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness." 1Cor1:28 He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things--and the things that are not--to nullify the things that are, Isa 55:8 Acts2:6Mt5:3-12 James2:5
Lord, not all broken pieces need removed, replaced, or glued. Through Your grace, I see Your glory shining through broken clay pots. Others see Your light, not the brokeness. It is Gods love for us that binds and holds these broken pieces together. YSIC Brown Eagle
An Angel says, 'Never borrow from the future. If you worry about what may happen tomorrow and it doesn't happen, you have worried in vain. Even if it does happen, you have to worry twice.'
1. Pray
2. Go to bed on time.
3. Get up on time so you can start the day unrushed.
4. Say No to projects that won't fit into your time schedule, or that will compromise your mental health.
5. Delegate tasks to capable others.
6. Simplify and unclutter your life.
7. Less is more. (Although one is often not enough, two are often too many.)
8. Allow extra time to do things and to get to places..
9. Pace yourself. Spread out big changes and difficult projects over time; don't lump the hard things all together.
10. Take one day at a time.
11. Separate worries from concerns . If a situation is a concern, find out what God would have you do and let go of the anxiety . If you can't do anything about a situation, forget it.
12. Live within your budget; don't use credit cards for ordinary purchases.
13. Have backups; an extra car key in your wallet, an extra house key buried in the garden, extra stamps, etc.
14. K.M.S. (Keep Mouth Shut). This single piece of advice can prevent an enormous amount of trouble.
15. Do something for the Kid in You everyday.
16. Carry a Bible with you to read while waiting in line.
17. Get enough rest
18. Eat right.
19 Get organized so everything has its place.
20. Listen to a tape while driving that can help improve your quality of life.
21. Write down thoughts and inspirations.
22. Every day, find time to be alone.
23. Having problems? Talk to God on the spot. Try to nip small problems in the bud. Don't wait until it's time to go to bed to try and pray.
24. Make friends with Godly people.
25. Keep a folder of favorite scriptures on hand.
26. Remember that the shortest bridge between despair and hope is often a good 'Thank you Jesus .'
27. Laugh.
28. Laugh some more!
29. Take your work seriously, but not yourself at all.
30. Develop a forgiving attitude (most people are doing the best they can).
31. Be kind to unkind people (they probably need it the most).
32. Sit on your ego
33 Talk less; listen more.
34. Slow down.
35. Remind yourself that you are not the general manager of the universe.
36 Every night before bed, think of one thing you're grateful for that you've never been grateful for before.
Mt16:24 Then Jesus said to His disciples, "If anyone would come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.
I can remember one time picturing spiritually in my mind, myself standing on the shore, facing the vast ocean in front of me. The Lord was calling me to come out. There I stood on the shoreline with my luggage that I had been carrying around for years. One suitcase contained depression, pain, hurt, loss, loneliness. Another bag held lack of trust, defeat, and low self esteem. Another suitcase held sufferings, painful childhood memories, fear. Quite the load that I had been saving and carrying around for years. This was a turning point for me in my Christian walk. The Lord called me to come out. The Lord that day wasn't beside me saying, "Here let me carry this for you." He was calling me out to the deep to follow Him. For years I was following Him, but I was falling so far behind. My luggage was slowing me down. This was a season for me to let go. I knew I would sink, carrying all of this excess out into the water. That day years ago, I set it down on shore and with my hands now totally free, I picked up my cross and followed.
Mt16:25 goes on to say: For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it. Set down the luggage.
Gal5:1 It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. Whisper: Lord, could this also apply to excess luggage? YSIC Brown Eagle
Sorry I have not been posting often but I am packing my house to move the first week of August. I know that all of you know how tiring and tine consuming a process moving can be. Please keep me in your prayers. I will post as often as I can. Love you all.
