Options are power

Thursday, June 4th, 2009

Things you can do when your life seems to be at a standstill:

Go get that Rosetta Stone at the book store and learn a new language.  

Dog sit for a friend… for hours.

Plan an entire day in 20 minute intervals… changing your activity and location with each interval. (e.g. plant flowers in garden for 20 minutes; write in your journal for 20 minutes; wash your car for 20 minutes)

Do something for someone who can do nothing for your.  (e.g. volunteer to read to the blind at your local school or association for the seeing impaired)

Been awhile…

Monday, May 4th, 2009

Just became a mom for the second time.  Please forgive my absence on the blog.  Figured you might forgive the break from me if I HAD A GOOD REASON :_)

Been awhile… since I’ve said this aloud or written about it.  But, it’s time to revisit the idea of grace on earth.  

It’s so easy to always think of the Lord’s Grace coming from above… from Him.  But, we too can spread grace… and, it’s either simple or complicated.  Depending on how you look at it.

Grace is that unexpected, welcome show of spontaneous love… best served to those with whom we have no connection.  A smile, a salutation… a quarter to a guy needing to feed the parking meter who’s late for a job interview.  This is a way that we magnify the Lord’s name and His love of us.  We walk out his Grace on earth by treating those around us with patience, kindness, gratitude etc…

Seems new life is a good time to remind us all of just how precious a gift each day is.  And, it’s when we can become a gift– even if for a moment– for someone else that we are spreading not just God’s Grace on earth… but, I believe it’s also His Will.

H-out

Good Friday

Friday, April 10th, 2009

Many of you know from reading this blog that I gave up Complaining this Lenten season.  Today is the culmination of that “emotional diet”.  If I faltered a time or two over the past weeks… this day is the most important that I do not fail.  What have I got to gripe about?.  No matter what pain, disappointment or loss could ever face me on Good Friday… I cannot imagine anyone having a worse day than Jesus. 

 Blessings to you on this Easter.
