GRATEFULNESS

 Hi Girl!
I can't believe I've never written on the subject of gratefulness. My dear, it's so, so important to have an attitude of gratitude. For everything in your life. Do not take life and your good fortune for granted. There are so many children who would wish for your life of privilege. You are a very loved child and will be denied nothing. You could just as easily have been born to another Mom, in a war zone or a Mom in a developed country, surrounded by the wealthy, only she was unable to feed or dress you.
It is imperative that every day you say a prayer of thanks and name your blessings one by one. Gratefulness is the key to abundance. The more appreciative you are, the more big-hearted the universe will be to you. Even the little things should not go un-thanked for. 
I am grateful for the gift of love and laughter through my friends, family and extended family. I am much obliged for my continuous good health. I appreciate my well paying job, my life and level of comfort. I am glad that I never have to go hungry. Most of all, I am most appreciative because I have been blessed with peace of mind. 
Be thankful for your trials. If you're being tested you're being perfected.

DON'T TRY SO HARD

Hi my lovely,
I think you'll enjoy this.

Amy Grant: Don't try so hard

Here are the lyrics:

Don't Try So Hard"
(with James Taylor)


Another Monday comes and I just wanna breathe
'Cause it's a long, long week for someone wired to please
I keep taking my aim, pushing it higher
Wanna shine bright, even brighter now
Wish I would tell myself

Don't try so hard
God gives you grace and you can't earn it
Don't think that you're not worth it
Because you are
He gave you His love and He's not leaving
Gave you His Son so you'd believe it
You're lovely even with your scars
Don't try so hard

Do you remember how the summers felt when we were kids?
Oh, we didn't think much about it, we just lived
Taking our time, beautiful leisure
When did we start, trying to measure up
And all this time, love has been trying to tell us
Don't try so hard
God gives you grace and you can't earn it
Don't think that you're not worth it
Because you are
He gave you His love and He's not leaving
Gave you His Son so you'd believe it
You're lovely even with your scars
Don't try so hard

Don't try so hard

Don't try so hard
God gives you grace
You can't earn it
Stop thinking you're not worth it
Because you are
He gave you His love and He's not leaving
Gave you His Son so you'd believe it
You're lovely even with your scars
Don't try so hard

THE BEST LULLABY EVER

Hi dear, I thought you'd like this song.
It's by Sinead O'Connor:
 
 
 
Sing to me softly your tales of woe
I’ll cradle you closely, I won’t let go
I’ll speak to you gently of what I know
Don’t you cry

Lay your head down darling
The moon is sailing by
The stars are softly shining
The tide is full and high

We’ll fly to the edge, not as distant as it seems
And maybe we’ll find out the key to your dreams
So you just lay your head down darling
Sleep now, La la la la la 

Winds blow, rains fall
But it’s warm by the fire’s light
Hush, don’t you see? You’re here with me
And there’s dawn at the end of the night

Lay your head down darling
The moon is sailing by
The stars are softly shining
The tide is full and high

We’ll fly to the edge, not as distant as it seems
And maybe we’ll find out the key to your dreams
So you just lay your head down darling
Sleep now, La la la la la

FAREWELL FEAR!


 
Hello my darling, here's an anthem for you whenever you enter into the state of Fear. It can be paralyzing and even the most guarded, strong and upright people have been attacked by this condition at important points in their life. 
I urge you to strive to never have fear. Know that you are always guided, guarded and protected by God and His Angels.
“Do one thing every day that scares you.”
Eleanor Roosevelt
Hello Fear,
Before you sit down there's something I need to explain
Since you're here
I think I should tell you since we last talked things have changed
See I'm tired of being broken-hearted
So I made a list and you're on it
All my hopes and my dreams You took from me
I want those back before you leave

Hello Fear
I knew I would see you, You have a hard time letting go
See these tears,Take a good look cuz, soon they wont fall anymore

God's healing my hurful places
That seat that was yours now is taken
I'm no longer afraid,See I'm better this way
And one more thing before you leave

[Chorus]
Never again will I love you
My heart it refuses to be your home
No longer your prisoner
Today I remember
Apart from you is where I belong

And never again will I trust you
I'm tired of fighting it's been way too long
No longer your prisoner
Today I remember
Who I was and now it's gone
They're gone
Hello Fear
Da da da da da, da da da da da

Farewell Goodbye So long [3X]

Hello Grace
It feels like forever, I thought my chance with you was gone
See your face, it reminds me of mercy
And please let me say I was wrong
Never knew your touch was endless
How you never run dry of forgiveness
Didn't know how bad it was, was afraid just because
Sorry fear, grace took your place


[Chorus]

Farewell Goodbye So long [8X]
  
Hello fear, before you sit down there's something I need to explain.

Obedience

How he treats others.....




“Life's tragedy is that we get old
 too soon and wise too late” 
Benjamin Franklin

Hello my sweet niece,
I thought I should share something that happened the other day at work. This couple was flying out on us but running very late. The guy managed to make it on the plane but his friend was nowhere in sight at departure time. So, he asked my coworker to hold the plane door open until she got there. He called her and found out she hadn’t even made it through security. It was departure time. My coworker told him it was impossible to wait for her as it would cause a massive delay. He begged. She apologized, and stood her ground. There were 130 plus on time passengers waiting to leave and to wait for one late one makes no sense. We'd never leave if we did this every time the plane stopped at a city. Anyway, the guy gets off the aircraft and tells my coworker, “Am done talking to you bitch!”
Imagine this insult, for something that was the guy’s fault? Such are the hazards of the job though, honey.
Much later after the plane had left, his lady friend showed up looking unhurried, calm and collected. She had her man in tow. She inquired about the next flight. I told her before I could help her I just had to let her friend know (the guy) that name calling was completely unacceptable. My coworker was standing next to me. He denied the insult and said my coworker was making it up and turning the tables on him. He was acting like a pure jerk!

“If a man fools you once, he's a jerk.
 If he fools you twice, you're a jerk.”
I re-booked them and sent them on their way. An hour later, the lady came over to apologize for her man. We had a long discussion about men who call women names and the women that date them. I told her I was disappointed in him but even more so in her for tolerating such behavior. She told me she would not put up with his nastiness and she was going to make him apologize for his insult.  She also expressed this fear, “Does that mean he will call me a bitch when he’s mad at me?”

Anyhoo, toots, I tell you this tale to illustrate something. She was absolutely right in having that fearful sentiment. If a man does not respect any of the women he comes into contact with then there’s a grand possibility that he does not respect you either. In a heated moment, he will reveal his true colors just like the guy above did.
Sweetie, be aware that if you are dating someone, observe how he treats others and his relatives. It’s the same way he will treat you once y’all get used to each other. Choose a partner wisely.There are still some good guys out there.  Most importantly, BE NICE TO EVERYONE. You never know what kind of battle they are fighting. Oh, and there's also karma.Whatever you send out always comes back to you.

“If you send out goodness from yourself, or if you share that which is happy or good within you, it will all come back to you multiplied ten thousand times. In the kingdom of love there is no competition; there is no possessiveness or control. The more love you give away, the more love you will have.”
― John O'Donohue
