I’m Tired!

Jennifred Jones

I’m tired! I’ve had it!! Enough is enough!!!

The realization hit me. Why keep going around and around in the same old circle over and over, doing the things, following the same mental practice leading to the same results?

Why???

Things can be different. They can be better. There could be a better outcome.

The results don’t always have to be the same.

I will begin again… new thoughts, new ideas, new hopes, new dreams with…new results!

It’s really that simple – yet hard. Change the old thinking with new thinking.

The easy part is no physical effort involved.

The hard part – changing your mind.

But it’s time for a change of scenery.

Let’s go!

Men!

Jennifred Jones

Today we’re going to talk about the men!

Why? ‘You are a woman!’ (I am, a woman- the writer)

We need men! Men out there, we need you!! Every one of you!!!

Without men, there would be no women. (and without women there would be no men)

But today is about our men! Amen to that!

We are all strong and have good ideas and capabilities, but each of our two genders are unique. Men have a different physique, a different mindset, way of thinking, planning, doing. They have a determination to see things through to the finish at all costs – even their own lives if need be. They are the protectors of their family and community. They know how to lead, guide, fight, hold steady and gently encourage, or stand strong with an iron will. They are good at reasoning together and coming to workable solutions.

‘Lady, I don’t know these men! Do they exist? Could I be one?’ If you’re a man, then yes! And be a good one. No shame in being a man. We need you to stand unashamedly strong!

I said it and I meant it. I am a mature woman and grandmother with lots of brothers, uncles, sons, friends in my life and I happen to like men. They are funny, goofy at times, strong, loving, stern, handsome, direct, caring, sometimes quiet, but they are men! And I thank God for them!

None of us are perfect – men or women. But we are trying to aim at being better!

Let’s not degrade ourselves or others or let them degrade us.

Be the man God made you to be. He will bless you. He will help you. He will strengthen you. He will encourage you and help you move ahead in your life. He is for you!

And so am I!

God bless every one of you men reading this today. Be encouraged!

Hopeless and Helpless

Jennifred Jones

Hope and help.

We may feel hopeless, but we are not helpless. We may feel helpless, but we are not hopeless.

Hope will bring us help, and help will give us hope.

There will always be a pathway of hope with a glimmer of light no matter how dark it seems.

We were made creatures of hope…to believe and hope for something better, to long for better times, to think of how to improve our situations.

This is the crux of personal freedom. We may improve our lives, families, jobs, homes and communities. No one can hold us back from thinking how to and planning a better future. It is the desire in each of us.

We have civil laws and regulations to help keep things in check so our thoughts and plans don’t infringe on others’ lives harmfully, but even they can be modified if need be. Our free world was designed to cause people to want to invent, grow, prosper, improve, help, enlarge, enrich, expand. There is nothing wrong with these things! We would still be in the dark, literally, if free minds were not allowed to think, help and design!

Do not despise your own thoughts because you think they don’t measure up to another’s, or to what you think others will think of them. The help you need in your situation begins with your hopeful thinking.

So what if your idea is ‘only’ to make a better dog food…planned by you to keep beloved pets strong and healthy! That’s a wonderful, caring idea people would love! Who cares that it costs more to buy? Good food means less vet bills for the pet parent.

You like working with clay but don’t think you’re good enough or your finished item is crooked. Do you want to know how many crooked, cast-off pieces of pottery are in my home? I love to collect those cast-a-ways and have them all over – inside and outside 🙂

As you read this today, begin to take hope and look for help if you need it. Move forward and things will begin to fall into place.
