“…brothers and sisters, take note of this; everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires..”

James 1:19-20

With all of my heart I want to be beautiful in God’s eyes…

To walk through my day with the constant knowledge that He is near…

I am a people pleaser by nature… I want to love and be loved.

I see injustice, and cruelty so very plainly…

It hurts…

For sure this world can be cruel… Pitting our hearts and thoughts up against one another.

For me to focus on the one thing…The only thing that I can control ..

My relationship with my Heavenly Father.

As I walk through my day, my heart’s desire is to be pleasing, and beautiful before my Heavenly Father.

This heart posture relieves so much stress…

I know I am going to be challenged maybe in a million ways as I interact with people in my day…

My husband, kids, neighbors, the folks at walmart,or my grocery store (I seem to forget to get something almost every day! loll)  The people I have to deal with on the phone over health insurance issues… LOTS of issues! ugggg…. :)

It never ends…

I have a choice though…

I choose to be careful…To be sensitive…

The way I choose to react may be the only kindness someone has been shown for a long time…

To be loving and compassionate…

Hopeful and considerate always bring me so much joy…

Joy that my Heavenly Father smiles brightly when I surrender my anger, or frustration and remember that I am His first…

I am a reflection of His goodness to whoever I come in contact with…

That Is our purpose…

That is my passion…

Today I am going to cherish understanding…

Live in Love,

Lisa
