Afraid to Think!

Jennifred Jones

Why??? God gave you your very own mind and you were created with a free will! Free to think!

But I don’t know what to think or how. This is something for you to think about. It’s easy to go through life letting others – high and low, tell us what to do and what to think, but you have a life to live and the freedom to think and decide on your own. Really, on the inside, you want to but don’t trust your own thoughts many times.

One of the best cures for this is to get alone, turn everything off and think. One of my favorite places to think was at the ironing board (what’s that?) or working in the flower bed with my hands in the dirt.

  • Think about the things you want to think about – one at a time.
  • Are these my thoughts?
  • Do I think they are true and beneficial?
  • How do I feel inside about this subject?
  • Think about others who have successfully navigated this.
  • Look to the examples from the past – from past centuries!
  • Read good books to become knowledgeable.
  • Talk about it with a very close friend – in person preferably.
  • Then think some more.

Good thinking is a process, takes time, careful observation, solitude and often change in ourselves.

YOU! Be the master of your own thoughts. Develop and grow and become who you really want to be. It’s your mind! And your life!

Compelled!

Jennifred Jones

Everyone talks about everything! News casters discuss whatever they want and send it out…ready or not!

Therefore, I am going to talk about things which need to be at least thought about…by all of us. I feel more and more compelled – as times and world events continue – to help us hold the line.

Good will ultimately win. Let’s make sure we are on the winning team. Evil voices are demanding attention. Evil seeks to destroy people and what they have and are doing for the good of others. Evil tries to convince people they are worthless, there is no hope – so go ahead and hate your life and hate others. Evil says things have gone too far, there can be no change. Evil tries to cover the good with darkness so we cannot see the light…see what really is going on. All it portrays is gloom and doom.

Through all the dark clouds of evil there is a light shining brightly saying, ‘This is the way. Walk over here. Don’t listen to that. I will help you. Things will work out for good. Help the other person. Smile at the cashier. Keep your place picked up. Plant some flowers. Make something and take to them. Encourage that person. Do your best.

There is a lot within our own power to improve our life. Don’t hold yourself back, waiting for another’s approval. You be the compelling factor in your life!  Turn the light on. Step outside and find something good you see or can do.

The important thing – begin!

Good and Evil

Jennifred Jones

I believe good will ultimately overcome in the end. However, in the meantime…

Evil always seeks to overpower good. That’s why it is called evil.

  • It tries to defeat and destroy the good coming out from others.
  • It wants to be in charge/control.
  • It wants to be centerstage.
  • It wants all eyes on it and what it is doing.
  • It uses fears, threats, intimidations towards the innocent who are trying quietly, faithfully to do good.
  • It feels it won’t get any resistance back from them. They will quietly give in to the demands of it – not wanting to ‘disobey’ or cause a ‘scene’.
  • It is a bully – always pushing, shoving, scheming its next action to get its way.
  • It is very sneaky and wants you to do its work.
  • It will make you think you thought it up.
  • It will condemn you when you do it.
  • It will tell you it was your fault.
  • It will tell you-‘you are hopeless’.

Do not listen to its lies. You are stronger than it. Continue doing your good work.

God is for you.
