Good morning to you all! Today is going to be a beautiful day! Full of wonders and possibilities! So get out there and shine!
Well, did we all survive the Halloween sugar rush? Did you feel a little bit more in control this time around? Did you stop and smell the wilting roses? Fall is my favorite time of year! I just love how everything looks, smells, the color of the skies. . . . it's good!
Yesterday was my Sabbath! I was really tired! So, taking my own advice, which all of this blogging is me telling myself what to do, I took the day off. Well, as much as possible! I still did housework stuff, but I did it with out a time limit, without worrying about what wasn't getting done. If only I could be in this mind set all of the time! Setting out to accomplish something without the stress of "what's next." I've been reading "Eat the Cookie, Buy the Shoes" by Joyce Meyers. And she really has a great way of looking at life! One of the main points of the book is that we should be seated in our faith, being able to stand firmly planted in God's love no matter what kind of problems we are facing. When the sink backs up, we're still on vacation with God! Money is tight and the car needs an oil change, we're still on vacation with God! The stressful stuff of this world will not disrupt us and what we are responsible for!
That responsible thing again! It's easy to accomplish the good, bad, and ugly when we feel great! It's easy to look at a plate of cookies and say "No thanks" when life is good! But watch out, when hubby comes home grumpy, the car is running a little off, the kids are late for school, you forgot to send that pesky family member a birthday card and you know you're gonna hear about it, that is when we fall off the wagon. Oh what's the use! The day is already going to the tubes! I'm gonna eat, drink, go shopping, whatever. . . . That's why we need to work so diligently at our relationship with God.
God is our stability! He's is always there. His love for us is unshakable.
So what are we going to do? We are going to read our bibles, not say "Oh I'm going to start. . ." No, read it! We are going to find comfort in Him rather than the world. When the going gets tough, the tough keep going because we have God!
The Good Lord made you and I this way for a reason. He loves what He's done with us! We should love ourselves, not be in love with ourselves, and do what's healthy and honorable to ourselves. The church lives within us. We need to be seated, strong, and unmoved, even when life gets tough!!
Go and have a wonderful day with your beautiful self! Don't forget the silver lining! Don't forget God's love for you! Don't forget to breathe! Don't forget to look at what surrounds you! It's beautiful too!
May God bless and keep you today!
In Him ~ Becca
