Warm weather fosters growth: cold weather destroys it. Thus a man with an unsympathetic temperament has a scant joy: but a man with a warm and friendly heart overflowing blessings, and his beneficence will extend to posterity ~Hung Tzu-Cheng

Today is made up of a collection of moments of life filled with faith, hope, and love. I will use each moment to be motivated and empowered by the heart and soul. May my existence leave a residue within the Universe that FOSTERS love and peace.

O give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; for His mercy and loving-kindness endure forever!”(1 Chronicles 16:34, AMP)

No matter what is going on in life, you can find a reason to thank God. What you dwell on is what you will draw into your life. You can either focus on your problems, or you can focus on your blessings. The question is: do you want more problems, or do you want more blessings?

One thing I’ve noticed is that when you live with an attitude of constant gratitude, not only do you thank God for what He’s done in your life, you start thanking Him for what He will do in your life. You thank Him for opening doors for you. You thank Him for increasing you. You thank Him for bringing the right people into your life. When you say “thank you” to God for the things that are coming, it’s really a declaration of your faith in Him. You are saying in essence, “God, I’m so sure of Your goodness, I’m so sure that You’re working in my life that I’m going to thank You right now for what You are going to do for me this blessed day!!"

 When we trust in His goodness and believe that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him, that pleases His heart so much. So today, have an attitude of gratitude. Let your faith say thank you. Praise Him throughout the day with a humble heart and watch what He will do on your behalf!

In Jesus name Amen!!~ I love you:)

Life never ceases to amaze me with the stops and starts and fades. The moments you are afraid will last forever never do. The ones you wish would never end always do. But that curse is also the blessing that cures.
If only we could know just how long it takes for the wounds to heal while enduring the pain.

We hold tight to the moments fearing what comes next, but all we have is now.
The spiral never stops. Just like the moon above, it wanes & waxes, ebbs and flows.
Grateful for potential beginnings and mourning the inevitable endings. Savoring the taste of now.
