The Army of Good

There’s an army of good arising. Join it!

All over we’re seeing signs saying, ‘Be Kind’, ‘Be the Good’, ‘Kindness Matters’.

Many are standing their ground that our country, our world, people in general need goodness and kindness expressed towards them!

There are no qualifications necessary to join this army, no weapons or armor needed…not even a general,  lieutenant or sergeant telling us what to do. We get to set our own schedule, march to our own beat, wear our own clothes, prepare our own foodstuffs, (no K-rations involved here).

All we need to do is be on the lookout. Lookout for what?

Lookout for wherever good needs to be advanced!

This is not hard to do friends 🙂

First begin with you:

Be good to you. Take care of yourself body, soul, mind and spirit. Think on good things.

Be good to your surroundings. Keep your habitation clean and orderly. (It will make you feel better.)

Be good at your job. Get along with others. Look for ways to improve and grow. Encourage your co-workers.

Be good to your neighbors and ‘hood. Keep your yard tidied. Plant some flowers to cheer things up a bit.

Be good to strangers. Smile at somebody. Say ‘Hi’ to another human. Put on a fresh face and dress attractively for you…that alone can encourage another person.

Be good where you shop. Put your cart back in the cart return. Take items you don’t want back to where you got them instead of leaving socks hidden in the canned goods aisle, or clothes hanging in pots and pan section (Thank you Joyce Meyer for this tidbit) After all someone else will have to clean up after you…

Be good to your family. Write gramma a letter. Go visit uncle. Say thank you and please to each other.

Be a good responsible driver. Your family and others need you to arrive safely in one piece.

Basic stuff this is…all things I have to implement each day too.

I  want to do better tomorrow and motivate others by my actions.

Let’s fight together in our army of good!

Don’t Fit In

Stand in your own outfit!

How many times have we tried to fit in to a pair of pants we really wanted to wear? They looked great on the mannequin….!?! Why don’t they look good on me?

We each have our own shape – physically, mentally, emotionally. Our likes, dislikes, talents are just a tad different from our friend’s. That’s why what they have/do doesn’t fit/look good on us.

I have to figure out what looks/works best on me! The right color, style, jewelry, shoes, bed, chair, books I read, job I accept…on and on. Stuff has to be adjusted to conform to me, not me conform to it!

You were crafted to be you, they were crafted to be them. We are on an individual basis….no production line here! This is a one of a kind artist’s studio piece being unveiled – you and I!!!

We need to be our own piece and bring our fullness to the forefront and really work to develop us.

‘It’s too hard 😦 It’s easier just to be like somebody else.’ That’s no fun though, the reward is in the labor, the satisfaction of a job well done!

What one area in your life can you work on to become a better representation of you?

You look more beautiful wearing you!
