Be Strong!

Jennifred Jones

Sometimes I wonder if we allow others to overpower us because we are/were weak.

Because we’re too weak to stand up for ourselves to say what we think, to do what we need. Then when things don’t go as we hoped or wanted, we blame others

Do we request laws in an attempt to ‘force’ others to treat us a certain way…not to ‘talk to us this way’ …when we didn’t need another law; we only need to take responsibility and talk it out?

Why are we so afraid of human interaction? Why are we so fearful of conflict and being disliked?

Let’s choose to be strong, not giving our personal power over to another, but facing ourselves, facing others and learning to be the authority of our own life.

To Teach

Jennifred Jones
  • To teach means there’s something to learn.
  • To learn means there’s something to advance in – grow.
  • To advance means to move forward.
  • To move forward means progress.
  • To progress means grow stronger.
  • To grow stronger means more capable = have more to offer.
  • To offer more = more helpful.
  • To be more helpful = more useful.
  • To be more useful = greater outreach.
  • Greater outreach = more effective.
  • More effective = touching more people’s lives.

Now you have become a teacher.

  1. What do you like to teach?
  2. What do you like to learn?

In Any Land

Jennifred Jones

In any land you have a mix of people. You have a mix of thoughts.

  • The positive thinkers the negative thinkers.
  • The good doers the bad doers.
  • Those who have direction and those who’ve lost their direction.
  • Those who have hope and those with no hope.

All these contrasts and differences; how can they work, live – even be together? We who are strong are to bear the infirmities of the weak, yet each man must bear his own load. How does this all work?

That’s why there are standards/guiding principles to help us live even when we don’t feel the best or want to do the best. I’m thinking of two right now:

  1. In as much as possible with you, be at peace with all men. You do what you can, and let the rest be, and continue on with your life.
  2. The Golden Rule: Treat others as you want to be treated. Again, do your best and leave the rest.

If in our little areas (our ‘campsites’) we abide by these guidelines, we will find ways to work together and meet the needs of others.

Let’s work together.
