Journaling....about Gratitude

 We are just about to start a New Year and 

I was thinking that I need to get back to doing

a gratitude journal. I started one during my 

cancer journey to help me to focus on good things...

When I started my journal I would just list 3

 things that I was thankful for each day. 

So, if you're considering it, or if you need a more

 positive focus just start small-3 things everyday

that you're thankful for. 

May God bless you in the New Year ahead!

Preparing Our Hearts for Christmas...part 2

 

I was looking on Pinterest and saw this...right along with our theme

...similar thoughts from THEMERRYMAMA.COM

Preparing Our Hearts for Christmas....

 

Sometimes our hearts don't feel ready for Christmas. Perhaps life

has changed for us in some way...the loss of a loved one, a relocation,

a divorce, health or financial issues...

I just wanted to reach out and post a few suggestions that help me, and maybe

will help someone else too.

• focus on the Reason for the Season...Jesus

In order to do that perhaps write down a few reasons why it's important to you

that Jesus came...keep your list and look at it periodically through the season...

• Read the Christmas story in Luke 2. Maybe read it a few times over the

course of the season. Underline some key phrases that are meaningful to you.

• Turn on the Christmas music! Maybe while you're in the car...or cleaning the

kitchen...Sometimes I even sing to them! 

• If you can, get outside and just find the wonder in God's Creation...even look out your window to see His Glory there....Pray and thank Him for it!

• If you are able to, and like to bake, make treats for your neighbors and take with a card and a gospel tract.

• One of my favorite ways to prepare my heart for Christmas is to shop the Samaritan's Purse Catalog for giving. It's the highlight of my Christmas! Find some way to give, it doesn't matter how much! If you can't give financially, offer your time to help a friend-even talking to them on the phone to encourage them. Espcially someone who is bed ridden, or just faced a life change.

May your heart be filled with the love of God and the birth of His Son during this Christmas season.

Wherever I Am GOD Is!

 

Nothing Can Change it!

 

For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels,nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 8:38-39

Baby Step 7: Build Wealth and Give

You know what people with no debt can do? Anything they want! The last step is the most fun. You can live and give like no one else. Find out your current net worth, then keep building wealth and become outrageously generous, all while leaving an inheritance for your kids and their kids. Now that's what we call leaving a legacy!

See Dave Ramsey Solutions

The point of building wealth isn’t just to stockpile enormous amounts of money for your own benefit. Instead, building wealth should incorporate more charitable giving to help you leave a positive legacy in your community and the world at large.

Nobody will remember much about your investments when you pass away, but many people will remember how you donated time and money to needy individuals and organizations. I’ve also talked multiple times about why I’m a big fan of giving back to your alma mater. 

Also some great insight HERE to diving deeper into it if you are in this amazing position and have attained this height! Congratulations!!!!
