Today

Jennifred Jones

Today much of the world celebrates Jesus showing death that it does not have the power it thinks it does over us.

Is there death in some area of your life? Mentally, physically, spiritually, emotionally, relationally with others? Jesus wants to, he has the power to come into that very area of your life that’s causing all the pain and heartache and overpower it…heal it!

We don’t have to climb 150 stairsteps, give away all our money, move or change our wardrobe. All he wants is for us to come back to him.

These can be hard words to read, we have been conditioned to see God as a hateful, wrathful, angry,  mean judge doling out punishment for our wrongs. That is not the voice of God. Jesus didn’t come to condemn or destroy, He was sent to free and restore…to give life…now in our current lives on earth.

Other’s words have spoken to us confusion, mistrust and cynicism. God’s words are helpfulness, peace, wisdom, truth, belonging, and care…true love.

Today, think about how you would like to be loved, how you would like to care for others and know that is God’s heart to you.

Today, give him the benefit of the doubt. Test him and see what good he will bring into your life.

It can be all new for you today.

God is good!

Let’s Do New!

Nothing seems to get me out of a rut quicker than to try something new!

The blah of  the same ole, same ole gets lifeless and boring, we tend to lose energy…(that will be an idea for another blog post)…and become even less motivated. It’s crazy how one area of life affects the other.

Without spending any money, pause to contemplate how to rearrange your living space or bedroom…probably will have to rehang some pictures, or maybe add some new ones. Move a plant from here to there or bring in a chair or desk from another room. Pull out Grandma’s dishes and use for everyday. Throw a colorful old table cloth over a chair for a temporary slipcover effect. Line your books up along the baseboard for instant library shelving.

Cut out fun patterned giftwrap into shapes and glue-stick it on your wall for backsplash beauty or run it along the top of the walls for color with out expense. It will draw the eye up and make the ceilings appear taller. (PS they will peel off easily leaving no residue)

These were a couple projects I did this week. Boy, does it feel better everytime I come home and enter my ‘new’ rooms!

All the time, my mind is thinking of new ideas to try, and so I do! One idea is a springboard to another, making life so much more fun.

What would you like to do to change up your habitation, your work space, garage, office, patio? You’ve already got everything you need.

Take your idea and move forward! Good bye to the doldrums!

We’re going to be happy in our lives 🙂
