Don’t Let It Stick

Jennifred Jones

Scratch it off of you!

When we were growing up, mom would bathe us and put lotion on us and was always checking our skin and hair. If she felt a little ‘bump’ or something on our skin she’d scratch it off …and we’d yell – ‘Mom, what are you doing!’ Dr. Mom was watching out for us, checking her kids out. She wasn’t about to let a wart, a tick or other skin ailment get a foothold on us. No pimple or splinter got past her. We were her kids, and she was our protector mom!

I did this with all my kids and got the same response – a startled yell when I scratched something off. My mom has been gone to heaven for over 20 years now, but I value the lessons she taught me. I don’t have to let things stick to me that don’t belong to me or on me. Scratch them off! I have the responsibility to do this to keep myself strong and well.

This is good for all areas of life. We don’t have to let comments, accusations, mistreatment stick to us. We have a good life to live and must live it! …Not letting somebody’s comment live on through us that wasn’t true in the first place. We’re the master of our own ship. Don’t let the barnacles of others attach themselves to you.

Scratch them off and sail away!

I QUIT!

Time for the honest truth….no other kind of truth really…

Winter, about 4 years ago, I quit writing on my blog…let it expire, didn’t contribute anything good for anybody…just quit thinking about good things to write about.

So much for all my talk about doing good and then not doing my good…writing about it…encouraging others to do their good.

Then about a year ago, I began thinking about things, how I really needed to begin again; I even told God, if He’d give me ideas to write that I would. But I never did.

Today during a very hard time, a thought came to mind, and rather than forget about it, I sat down to write about it.

You will read it in the next post.

That’s my confession, now I’m back in the saddle.

We need to talk about the good going on everywhere, with so much negative, down in the mouth talk at every angle, our boats are starting to sink. It’s time to tip the scales in the other direction….up!!!

There’s gobs of good going on all over…

Find it today!
