Care

Jennifred Jones

Could the way I show care to others affect the way they care for themselves?

This is especially true with children.

If I don’t show care to them perhaps they won’t care adequately for themselves.

Yet – as I respect them, they will understand and learn how to respect themselves.

In a nutshell, we teach them how to care for and respect themselves and then they learn how to care for and respect others – because of how we cared for them.

Not a Victim

Jennifred Jones

I will not be a victim. I choose to step away from the path of disempowerment.

God has given me choice.

  • Choice what to think.
  • Choice whom to be around.
  • Choice to take back a mistake.
  • Choice to move away from bad situations.
  • Choice to make new and better friends.
  • Choice to ask myself hard questions.
  • Choice to do the hard but better thing.
  • Choice whose voices I’ll listen to.
  • Choice to think if what I’m hearing is really true.
  • Choice to choose what I think is best for me.

I take full responsibility for my life and the results of my choices.

  • I choose to read and learn and study and grow.
  • I choose to take better care of me.
  • I choose to start with one small step.
  • I choose to start today.
  • I choose not to be a victim.

Why the Lighthouse?

Jennifred Jones

I mentioned the lighthouse in a previous post.

What is it about a lighthouse that is so endearing?

Besides their unique structural stability and charm, they represent something else.

Valiant men have risked their lives and died building lighthouses to save lives…that ships at sea might not crash, be broken and sink because they couldn’t see the danger there.

Said James Ward Hyland III, President and Founder of the Lighthouse Preservation Society of Newbury Port, Massachussetts:

“Lighthouses appeal to the interest and better instinct of man because they are symbolic of never-ceasing watchfulness, of steadfast endurance in every exposure, of widespread helpfulness. The building and the keeping of the lights is a picturesque and humanitarian work of the nation.”

Somehow, just knowing that someone cares for you, is watching out for you, makes life easier to live. We all need those somebodies. We all need to be those somebodies.

These characteristics in people are what make a nation great and bring out the best in each other.

Loving, Kindness, Courage, Care….Let these be found in me.
