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!

 

 

The Power of One

Jennifred Jones

“I can’t do anything about anything, I am only one person.”

One spark started a forest fire.

One egg hatched into a chicken that had many more.

One acorn grew a tree with many acorns making a woods.

One drop of water joined with another and made a flood.

One drop of oil opened a rusted lock.

One sheep gave enough wool to make a blanket.

One blanket kept one person warm.

One warm person boiled one egg in water over the fire from one spark, over wood by the tree from one acorn, cut down by a chain saw needing one drop of oil.

This one person wrote one letter that was read by many and changed the direction of their lives for good.

…the power of one.

What is in your good power?
