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!

 

 

Make Something!

Jennifred Jones

We are made to make something! We are creative human beings designed to make and create something to increase/beautify/better this world—at least one portion of it (ours)!

I think when we’re not creating…thinking of how to build/make/design/cook/sew/plant –whatever your capacity and inclination is–then we can enter a lethargic lull…a lack of energy.

When these lulls, doldrums, whatever you call them hit…and they will…we need a project, to start something.

‘But I don’t feel like doing anything’, you say.  Then this is exactly the time you need to begin!

Just tinkering around experimenting- doing something, will shift your mind into forward gear.

I’ve learned to always have a project or two going that can be reverted back to finish and see the accomplishment of it when it’s done.

It’s not pride to look back at your work and say to yourself, “That looks good! I did alright!”

The acknowledgement of what you did will propel you to do more.

The cycle repeats.

What project do I have on the back burner ready to begin when the doldrums hit?
