My Beautiful Life

Jennifred Jones

I’m sill going to live a beautiful life and do things I like to do.

It doesn’t matter what other people tell me how I have to live my life or what I have to expect.

My life is my choice and mine to live happily and to the glory of God. He said for me to choose life and choose happiness and joy. He said he wished I prosper and be in health. Why should I disagree with him???

Why can’t I enjoy what he said I can have and do what he said I can do?

He’s prospering and keeping me healthy so I can add unto others lives with what he is given me. That’s not selfishness, that’s gratitude and generosity.

What if no one had any money or what if we all made the same amount of money? There would be no excess to donate for libraries and charities, parks, museums, colleges, and upkeep of our country.

Why try to pull everyone down to the same level? Humans want something to strive towards.

Where is this equalness and sameness coming from?

Why hold ourselves back? Why pull people back because some don’t have what others have?

Lets reach back and pull them forward, give them a leg up!

That is the better way to do things.

A beautiful life is about progress, development, helping others, moving ahead, bettering things, advancing, contribution.

It’s about, ‘If I can do it so can you! Let me show you how!’

How can I be an example for betterment today?

I Love My Life

Jennifred Jones

First of all, I’ve been through a lot of deep and dark valleys, but there have always been sunny skies and mountain tops on the horizon.

We’ve just got to look!

One deep dark valley was so awful, the kids were all little and I was faced with a choice…either fall down in the mire of self- pity or look for ways to help others. It was my decision.

A good friend came over to visit. I fixed all of us a nice lunch (meatball stew, leafy salad with capers, and fruit salad with orange sauce). I wanted to make it really fun for her, they didn’t have a lot back then. We had a nice time together, she and I, while watching our kids play. As they were packing up to go she said she came over intending to encourage me, but she was encouraged instead.

That made my day too!

There will always be something bright to focus on instead of troubles. Doing something good is one of the best ways.

Rearrange your closet, organize the kitchen junk drawer, vacuum out your car, wash all your mirrors, sweep the sidewalk, pick a few grasses and flowers for a bouquet. Pour some coffee and sit near your window to watch the birds. Plan a new craft project.

I love that about life! No matter how gloomy or glum things seem, I am free to think of — and will find something to do that lifts my spirits.

A merry heart does good like medicine, God said.

It really is that simple.

What do you choose to think about today?

Love your life!!!
