Bitter Rust

[Photo is mine, simple though it be]

Overtime, bitterness does not only destroys a person, it destroys relationships.

What do you see?

Have you seen the beauty in this day, even if some things aren’t going right?

If we only focus on the negative, we’ll miss out on the good stuff.

Terrible Twos

Two depressed persons do not equal happiness.

Two miserable persons do not equal joy.

Two angry persons do not equal love.

Staying Alive

Have you ever felt like life was going wrong and you just didn’t want to be around? Or you felt like others didn’t want you around?

Do you feel like you’re doing all you can to be happy but it’s not working out?

Do you feel like everything that you’re doing seem to be mistakes in the eyes of others, and then to you?

Do you feel broken, useless, and worthless?

I was using a pen to write something down. I rest the pen down and got up to go do something. When I returned, I accidentally stepped on the pen, breaking a piece of it off. But the pen still had ink; it was still useful.

Take yourself as that pen. A piece of you is broken, not all. That pen had ink that made it write. You still have life no matter how complicated it is right now.

Sometimes we get so caught up in these words called everything, always, never, and all the time. Don’t be. Life is not always bad, no matter how it seems to be.

Honored by Men; Dishonored by God

Have you ever been asked to do something that was wrong, something that would have compromised your faith?

In the eyes of those asking, they may have looked at it as no big deal. They would have been pleased and congratulated you in doing it.

But at what cost would you want to be honored by men?

And what price would you pay for being dishonored by God?

*Please note that men used here are human beings in general

Not Wanting The Perfect Life

[Photo is mine, simple though it be]

Our lives are never going to be filled with happiness all the time. There’ll never be a time when everything’s going to be alright or things are always going to be, should I dare say, perfect.

We don’t have lives so they can be perfect. No such thing. We have lives to live amongst the bad. We have moments to celebrate amongst the disappointments. That’s reality.

So, yes, Happy New Year to you. But also remember that in these 366 days of 2016, it’s not always going to be so. But live. But overcome. But be strong. Challenge yourself. I love you, but God loves you more.

Real People Please

#realpeopleplease

Have you ever been around people who were pretending to be what they were not, people who were saying that they believed in something when they actually didn’t, people who were acting outside of what they really felt or thought?

We all have our moments of pretending. You know the times when we’re feeling bad but in order not to have others worry we say that we’re not. The times when we don’t want to hurt others’ feelings so we bend the truth a little. I’m not writing about those moments or similar.

What I’m writing about are some people who are in a constant state of pretending. Those who want to hide their true selves. Those who hide hate with their lying tongues of love. Those who hide what they believe in order to fit in. Those who say or do things to make themselves look good or tough. Those who want to desperately fit into a crowd. Those who . . .

This year I’ve seen so much of that and quite frankly it’s sickening. I don’t like everything about myself, but I’m not going to pretend to try to please.

Wake Up Jesus, It’s Christmas

[Photo is mine, simple though it be]

Today we celebrate a birth of someone that’s awesome, but do some of us wait until this day to acknowledge or bring to mind who he is, what he stands for?

Happy and Merry Christmas to all 🙂  Peace and love not just today but always, even in the midst of all life gives.

 

What Is Important In Your Life?

Have you checked your attitude? Have I?

How do we decide what’s important in our lives?

By our attitude. By the way we think or feel toward someone or something. Our actions, from that, will define the people and things that are special, the people and things we hold dear to us, the people and things that we want to keep, no matter how bad it may become.
