What man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
Millions now ask themselves will I even have a job after this week?
Times are tough and this causes stress and at times tempers flare. People in general are on edge more than ever before. Not everyone is in a "Gods Grace" state of mind. Many even are angry with God or say how could God do this to my family? When we encounter those who have lost hope or faith the best thing you can do is to pray for that person or with that person. Lift them up in prayer, offer love, offer compassion.
If you have a garden offer a few items to a neighbor, flower garden leave a bunch of flowers on a doorstep. You can surprise a co worker with a simple note saying Hope your day is great or offer a smile. If a loved one is stressed out sit down and be a good listener or offer to talk a walk.
We all should remember to treat our family as well as we would treat a stranger on the street or as kind as we do a co-worker.We have all heard the saying we hurt the ones we love. That saying is true as when were stressed out or tired it is easy to be short with a loved one.
It is easy to give material gifts when the cash is flowing. Some times we need to go outside of our comfort zone to offer gifts from the heart. You may be pleasantly surprised that these non material gifts are truly treasured more than an item that is tossed into a closet or drawer. Gifts given with emotion and love are forever stored in the heart.
To fully trust and have faith is very difficult to do when your in the midst of a horrible storm in your life but this is when you need to remember GOD will never give you less than what you really need. He will never forsake you, He loves you and cares for you. Pray with THE BELIEF that he has your best interest at heart and pray in KNOWING he will get you through to the next chapter in your life.
*Let us all remember the treasures stored on earth will mean nothing when we leave this world. Let us take this time of weak economy and troubled times to remember the important things in life: Our family, our animals, our friends, our neighbors and our world. Let us offer charity, go back to gardening, Sunday family dinners or other traditions such as baking a cake for a friend just out of kindness. Go back to the simplicity of life as it can be an amazing experience to slow down and just take it all in.
*Life is short let us love each and enjoy every single day.
*Life is short let us love each and enjoy every single day.
Brighten a day and give from your heart. Remember God is always in control so let him take the wheel and drive your life into a peaceful and prosperous place. Prosperity is not always material items, or financial gain it is a sense of Grace, inner peace, love and the knowlege that God is with us always.
We often pray God please help me. While we should pray God almighty I know you will help me!!!
