Provide for Your Future

Jennifred Jones

The next generation…your kids, your grandkids are your/our future!

Driving home this week I passed many red, yellow and orange maple trees…huge specimens planted decades ago…now towering in beauty!

The planters of these trees are all long gone and cannot enjoy their finale, but we can, because they cared to look ahead.

Past generations of land owners often planted trees for future generations’ benefit, knowing they wouldn’t be ready in their lifetime.

How comforting to realize you had been thought of by previous people and generations who planned and did things not for themselves, but for the good of those to come after them.

I want to be part of the forward thinking generation able to lay up things, ideas, processes, implementations, habits, plans, that will make life better for my successors.

I want to pass that forward to make their lives less complex and easier to enjoy and live while they raise the next members of humanity.

Will you plan with me?

Seasons Change!

Jennifred Jones

I love living in the Midwest!

The seasons change every 3 months and something else happens.

No monotony here! I’m ready to finish out summer, as much as I like it, and move into a new fall, new decoration around home, new mums on the porch, pretty leaves on the trees, thick green grass again…

Our lives have seasons too, as in ‘this too shall pass’. Life is not to be drudgery, that’s not the definition of life! Life is growth, change, new beginnings, working through things, hoping for better, helping others through their ‘this too shall passes”

If we can keep the momentum, the looking ahead to what lies ahead, knowing we do have power over our lives to improve, change and move forward…always planning for the next thing to do, not staying stuck in the ‘this is the way it’s always been’ , we will enjoy the season we are currently in, knowing things will change.

If we think about a hill, the valley is actually very small compared to the hill…the hill is composed of the climb up, cross over the top and down the other side…all still part of the ‘hill-top’ experience.

I believe God gave us the happy, joy, peace to tap into far more than the sad, sorrowful, depressed parts of life.

He told us to choose life and that is my choice.

Sometimes I have to choose it many many times in the same day.

Will you choose life with me? Right now?

Let’s start a new season of life together, a better one!
