Today......

My Thought for this Day..........May you look through the ugly to see the beauty. May you push through the mundane to see the spectacular. May you carry your burdens with strength. And may you never cease to realize that understanding is not necessarily the answer.

What......

My Question for this Day.......What shalł I do? I shall walk into every room with my head held high even though I may doubt myself. I shall honor my commitments while it is easier not to. I shall walk my path to the very best of my ability. I shall treat others with dignity when I feel disdain. And, I shall, to the best of my ability, be trustworthy, grateful and joyous for I have been given another day to do so.

Hand.........

My Thought for this Day..........We will never be worthy enough; we will never be good enough; we will never be righteous enough. BUT we will always, every second, minute, hour, and day, be loved greatly. And this, my friends, is the invisible huge, gentle, adoring, guiding hand that is willing and waiting to just BE in your life.

Expectations.......

My Thought for this Day.........I think we tend to look at our lives in segments, not the whole picture. So your bank account is a little low, but your faith is rich. So your house may need a little paint, but it's filled with love. So you're job isn't 100% fulfilling, but it pays the bills. And on and on and on.......if you're waiting for perfection, that train will not roll into the station, and instead of enjoying your journey, you're sitting on a concrete bench, suitcase of expectations in hand, pausing your existence for supremacy that will never happen.

Cleansing......

My Thought for this Day.........I said these words to a good friend last night.....I am cleaning the House of my Soul right now. I have things I need to do, and words I need to say. Life is too short to not be true to yourself. When you live under the umbrella of pretend and falsehood, you miss the cleansing rain. Renewal is a blessed event. I think she heard and agreed. It may not be radical, headline worthy, nor attention grabbing. But is is selfishness at its best. Clean souls and minds and hearts make for productive selfless people.

Do It.........

My Thought for this Day..........Have you ever sat at the feet of someone great? Have you even one time really listened to the words of someone wise? Have you acknowledged that there is truth that makes its way in the world on wisps of words that when heard, move the universe ? Have you picked up a book and truly and totally absorbed the thoughts of someone who steeps astuteness much like a tea bag in a china cup of hot water? Really? It's life changing....do it!

Season......

My Thought for this Day......And so it begins.... The season of hopes and dreams and wishes coming true arrives. The time of giving and loving and goodwill toward men is once again upon us. We're dreaming of sugarplums and rockin' around our Christmas trees and filling our lives with festivities and fun. But before you can truly, honestly and completely revel in the season, I think there are things that must be done, words that must be said, acts that must be taken. Take that cleansing breath, step over that wall of pride, be the better person and forgive. And not only forgive in your heart, but in person, with words, aloud, in truth and in beauty. You can't begin anew until you cleanse your palate of hurt. And isn't this what the season is really about......that long ago birth that began mankind on a forever walk, an eternal walk, a walk of a Babe who showed us the path of righteousness and forgiveness? I dare you! Take a deep breath, search your soul, swallow your pride, do it because it is the right thing, the godly thing, the honorable thing. Purge and release and exonerate. 'Tis the Season!
