I hope and trust this post finds you having a great day and that an awesome week is coming to a close for you!
This morning, during my daily reading, I came across a couple of things I want to share with you.
"Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things." - Philippians 4: 4 - 8
I have spent the better part of 20 minutes trying to share my thoughts about this scripture with you. It is not coming together, I can't say it the way I feel it. So here is what I am going to respectfully ask; please read it, re-read it and possibly re-read it again. Let it speak deep into your heart & soul. Get past the first two sentences...they can be hard for all of us to understand based on our current season of life. Please give this scripture your undivided attention and let the Lord lead your heart, mind & spirit.
I also want to share a quote with you. I found it this morning after reading the above scripture:
"If we understood the power of our thoughts, we would guard them more closely. If we understood the awesome power of words, we would prefer silence to almost anything negative. In our thoughts and words we create our own weaknesses and our own strengths. Our limitations and joys begin in our hearts. We can always replace negative with positive." - Betty Eadie
Finally, I want to share an excerpt from The Leadership Challenge: How To Make Extraordinary Things Happen In Organizations by James Kouzes and Barry Posner.
"When people recall their personal-best leadership experiences, they always think about some kind of challenge. Why? Because personal and business hardships have a way of making people come fact-to-face with who they really are and what they're capable of becoming."
My hope & prayer for each one of us is that we will come face-to-face with who we really are and that we will become all that we are capable of becoming. There is great instruction above in how we can get there.
Please don't hesitate to contact me if there is ever anything I can do for you. I will always help you any way I can.
Have a great day, a wonderful weekend and please cherish your precious families!
