Life-3

Jennifred Jones

Whose side are you on? That question is enough to make you lose your happiness and peace.

So many are clamoring for you to pick a side, to join in with them, to get on a (their) bandwagon. I have not been called to solve the worlds problems. There are tooooo many. That’s why we have a God and that’s why he says bring all your problems, concerns and worries to him.

To live, to really live, I have to fill my mind with good and beautiful and helpful thoughts. After I get me in line, then I can share the good and beautiful and be helpful to others.

Remember, we magnify what we think about, we magnify what we talk about. We have a wonderful country, wonderful minds, strong bodies…let’s see what we can do to increase these qualities.

If I devote my time, mind and eyes to be on the lookout for doing good, improving myself, taking good care of me…then I will see opportunities (there will be plenty) to help improve others lives so they can live better too.

I am all for solving problems, but some (most) problems are not mine to solve and that is when we get frustrated…trying to solve what is not in our power to work out.

Say what you will, but today, I’m choosing to live my life well. I will look for and advance goodness and beauty, I will keep myself at peace and not allow the clamor of others to get me off path. Then I know I will bring my best self to be an example and help others find peace in their world.

Let’s advance towards better living together today!

Life-2

Jennifred Jones

Live today! Live your life today. Take a good honest look at your surroundings, and find the life in them.

It might be one sprig of grass turning green, one small bud on a tree branch, a brand new shiny baby calf, or the ruby red horizon starting a brand new day.

Everywhere you look there is life going on…even your eyes looking at this text are evidence of life. We have been made for life to live, to enjoy life and express life to others.

Yesterday, the thought came to me, do we point others towards the beautiful, towards life? I want to be a pointer out of beauty, not pointing out the ugly, the distasteful, the unhappy things in life.

There is enough in the negative realm spoken; we need to counteract it with the truth of all the good that is really happening.

If my only commonality with you is talking/agreeing with how bad things are, that is part of a negative/destructive mindset not uplifting and building you up.

Today, let’s look and find good and beautiful life-filled things to notice, to talk about, to build ourselves up with and then point them out to others so they will be built up also.

The sun will be coming up in about an hour…we have time to get ready!

Let’s go!

Good Heart vs Bad Heart

Jennifred Jones

There are far more people with good hearts in our world. They see a wrong done and want to make it right. They see a person in need and want to help.

Yet Bad always wants to quench the Good out/ of us through fear, intimidation, unforgiveness, neglect etc.

I can’t help that person, what would other people think?

I can’t help them after what they did to so and so!

If I help them what would my friends think.

Those people aren’t from my current associations.

I don’t have time.

Instead, let Good over power Bad.

Good will always stifle Bad if we allow it!

I’m going to help them. It doesn’t matter what somebody else thinks. If it was me, I’d be thankful for their help.

I will lay aside what they did to so and so, forgive and show goodness to them. Maybe it will melt their heart.

If my friends don’t like me helping out, then maybe I need new friends.

Our blood is all the same color and we’re all human beings, so Yes, I will help them.

I may be busy, but this will only take a portion of my time and we will both be better off.

See…it’s in you. God put his heart of goodness in you.

Now we gotta let out of our heart what is really in it.

Begin to overpower the bad with good—though you!
