Hope

Jennifred Jones

A fixed mindset has no hope.  It has lost its hope.

“There can be no change; Things will always be this way; There’s nothing I can do about it; It’s too late; Things are too bad; It’s gone on too long to see anything different; They’ll never change…”

It has no hope of a different future, a different tomorrow, a different you!

Hope is the propeller on the airplane of life that pulls us forward. We can guide it wherever we want to go when the engine is running.

Hope is freedom; an optimistic view of a new and brighter future; of change; a better tomorrow; a different way of doing things; freedom from the ruts in life… in your life!

Hope is one thing God has given mankind that no matter how bad things become, no matter what has been done, God can fix it. He can cause new growth. He is in the restoration business. There is aways hope. If you only have an ounce of strength or courage, He will give you more. If you feel there’s only a tiny bit of life left in you, He will fan it into flame.

Ask Him to blow on you.

Bring it Out!

Jennifred Jones

To bring out the best in others, I have to work at bringing out the best in me!

Yes, it works both ways. As I improve, others improve. As others improve, I will improve.

When there’s a willingness to change for the better, good things can happen!

The Curtain

Jennifred Jones

There’s an unseen curtain in life…like a stage with its platform and curtain.

Are we an observer or a participant? Do we watch helplessly and complain about the play we are watching…lousy actors, poor script, props and backdrop aren’t good enough. Or can we move to the other side of the curtain and become a participant? Can we offer our services, suggestions, manpower, whatever is needed to help make the play better?

Take time to learn and study what concerns and interests you. Learn all you can to make thoughtful comments and decisions about where you can best help. You are here for a reason – to offer input and help.

This big world cannot ‘turn’ by itself. God put us here with purpose – to tend the earth – utilize its resources, create, make worthwhile projects of value to the earth and to others. There’s a lot of acreage on our planet. We need to be aware and responsible for the ‘acreage’ we live on; to tend and care for it; to beautify it and build it up…keeping it organized. It is our responsibility.

Decide today to become a participant in building up your part of the world. Learn, read, study, observe, think about the past and how it relates to our future. Take yourself and family on trips around the world and see how other people live. Listen to them talk. Watch them cook. Eat their food. Immerse yourself in this beautiful play called life.

Don’t stay stuck in uncomfortable theatre chairs when the action is happening on the other side of the curtain!
