“Do something that you enjoy every day”


Doing things that we love to do helps us to relax. Often times I find that when it’s something I love doing I take my time doing it and lose all sense of time, which means I am really enjoying what I am doing! I love to write, so I’ve dedicated time to write something everyday. I’ve also made time to find new recipes to cook a new dish and I have done some baking too! I like to paint and draw, so those are next on my list. I’m also grateful for the time I have to do some reading. The weather is also
getting better so I’m thinking about swimming soon! I went for a walk and thought about my rollerblades sitting in the closet, so I will be getting those out this weekend if it doesn’t rain! These are just some of the things that I like to do. 

Maybe you own a bike, so go for a ride. Call up some friends and just sit and have coffee or see a movie. You might enjoy gardening, or putting together flower arrangements. Perhaps you like bowling, or working out at the gym. Make a list of things you like to do or want to learn to do. Make the time and start today!

Live!!

    Live! Exactly so many of us (me) don't know what that is. We hear it all the time but what exactly IS living? It's what you have said here plain and simple. I've been in a winter blah stage. I've let the weather determine my happiness. I need to do something I love regardless of the outside conditions. I actually need to find out what I love to do. Life has gotten so grey and routine the joys of life were put on hold. Without joy we don't actually live life to the fullest. I should combine your two blogs here and make a list of things I actually like to do and do them! lol Is that making a plan for happiness?

Do you have Christian Community?

As believers we are instructed in God's word to come together for fellowship with Christ and one another. One way to accomplish this is through Christian community. “But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin” 1 John 1:7. “And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching…” Hebrews 10:24. Christian community should not be about being in a social clique and it should extend beyond attending church. What it should be about is a body of believers coming together as one in Christ to share, love and care for one another. We should come together as the body of Christ to pray and worship with one another. We also should come together to help meet the needs of others. If we study the meaning of Jesu

Can I encourage you today to stop judging yourself?

Do you struggle with self-acceptance? So many of us tend to compare ourselves to others and then we pass judgment on ourselves and determine that we come up short. Why is it that we don't seem to appreciate who God created us to be? Why can't we simply be happy with who we are? Do you experience this feeling of low self-worth? I know I sometimes do. God created us differently for a reason. Each being is unique in his or her own way; we're uniquely crafted individuals purposely formed by God for God. When we are critical and judge one another, we are judging God’s work and when we judge ourselves, we are actually saying to God that we don’t like what He made. Sometimes we have to dig deep to find self-acceptance because when we don't accept ourselves as God made us, we not only reject His workmanship, but we open up a huge opportunity for our discontent to grow and expand into other areas of our lives. “ We are God’s workmanship” (Ephesians 2:10). Are you constantly

You make a difference!

Sometimes your presence is all that is needed to make a difference in someone's life. Just your taking the time to reach out to someone to lift their spirits can change the direction of their day. A few simple words can encourage someone and inspire hope when circumstances seem hopeless. Often times we may feel we lack the resources to meet a need, but even if that is the case, there is something we can still give - our time. It's one of the greatest things we can give in addition to love. Don't let what you think you don't have stop you from doing and giving what you do have. I'm so grateful for the wonderful people that God sends across my path. All the warm hugs and smiling faces have added so much joy to my days. Keep encouraging, sharing your time, and your heart because you truly are making a difference in someone's life!
