SPEAK LOVE especially in DIFFICULT TIMES.

 

 SPEAK LOVE 
Today let’s talk about kindness in speaking. 
   
Can you imagine if every time each of us opened our mouths that  
we only spoke with healing words that were sprinkled with
encouragement, comfort, wisdom, love and truth. 

I know this is hard to do, but my mind was just stuck
on that thought this afternoon. 




Imagine that…
Just kindness, and loving thoughts
 about everyone..

WOW…

When I was growing up, my mother used to tell me
anytime I encountered someone who was unkind to me to
“Pour Sugar on them”



Of course, I knew she didn’t literally mean to
Go home and get into the sugar canister, and
pour sugar on their heads.  I would have surely got a spanking. 
She meant to be VERY NICE to them. 
This was very difficult at times, because there were times
that they were awful mean to me. 
It is VERY HARD to be nice to a person who is mean to you; however,
I did it anyway…because Mama told me to do it. 

This seemed to work though
Hmm…My Mama was one smart Lady.. ❤



The Bible tells us in Philippians that this is what we should think on:

Philippians 4:8
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

When you read the verse above you will see that these things are what we are to be thinking about, and none of them are hurtful to each other or anyone else.   If you are thinking of these things, then chances you would be saying anything hurtful either. 

This verse will in many ways help us get through difficult times in our lives; some of us are right now going through difficult times. 

We need to pray as women for each other so that we may speak wisely and clearly that he will give us the words that we need, in a timely manner, so that we can say what we need to say and in loving, wise words, and always take every opportunity to tell the lost about Christ. 


Proverbs 16:24
Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.


It is not always about what makes us happy.  You see, GOD does not exist to make us happy.  He exists for HIS own glory.  His hope is to always make us realize that whatever we are going through, it is always for our good, and for his glory.  

The only way we are going to realize that is to have a 

relationship with his son..

Jesus Christ..


WITHOUT DIFFICULTIES

(LIFE LESSONS)

WE WOULD NOT LEAN ON HIM

Have a wonderful day...

Much Love,

Of Hens and Humans

  I saw a lot of human characteristics and actions while I sat there on the stoop at my Mama's Ruby's house.  You can learn a lot watching the happenings in a barnyard.   I know I did watching the many adventures of my grandparent's roosters and chickens.   This brought to me, after all of these years, in a featherly way what is common and wrong in the lives of people.   We are a lot like those birds. I have a beautiful group of chickens and roosters. They are all different varieties and colors.   Each one has its own style and personality.   I named one of those beautiful hens, Ellie Mae.  She was a victim of the other chickens’ unfair treatment.  She was a beautiful hen.  I would sit and watch her walk around the grass.  I was sitting on the porch cracking some pecans one day.  We were going to make some pies.   I noticed that sweet Ellie Mae had some feathers missing.   L ater that day, I saw what had ha...

JUST DUST

JUST DUST As I peered down the grocer aisle, there she was.. Standing there with her red pigtails, and fancy hair bows. I wanted to melt into the floor, and fade into the tile.  I was wearing my polyester pant suit that my Aunt Lucy made me... She was wearing store bought clothes; it was just one of the reasons  she thought she was better than me.      And well, some kids at school thought if you didn't have  those fancy store bought things that you didn't match up.   I was just not good enough.  See, my family didn't have all those fancy  things that money could afford. My daddy was a hard worker. He worked from daylight to dark.. He was a carpenter.    My Mama and Daddy gave me and  my brothers a wonderful, loving home.   They provided for us well.  They took us to church. ...

No Not One

NO NOT ONE I was sitting on the doorstep with my friend Sophie one Saturday evening, and I said, “Sophie, ask your Mama if you spend the night at my house tonight.” “Hey, great idea”, she said.   We were only seven years old, and having a sleep over was way cool.   Then she said, “Oh wait, tomorrow is Sunday.   Are you going to go to church?” I said, “Well, yes, of course I am, but you can go with us.   Come on, you will like Sunday School.   It is fun.” “Oh, I don’t know”, she said.   “Why, don’t you want to go”? She said, “I don’t think God wants me in Heaven, I have been too bad.”     I giggled at Sophie, and she gasped..I quickly apologized And gave her a hug..and said: My dear friend My Dear Lord and Savior Gave his precious son’s life blood for you   All of us are too bad for Heaven… But NONE of us are too bad To be FORGIVEN...
