Week End November 30, 2018
{quotes}
God is about to bless you for all the time you had to wait.
Who you’ve been isn’t who you have to be.
Your life will change when you change your habits.
Be yourself. And then be an even better version of yourself.
Gratitude opens the door to God’s blessing.
God is a God of second chances.
{blessings}
Sacred
Find a quiet space, in a worthy setting, and say what you will to God. May you be blessed with a sacred conversation that stirs your soul.
Tears
Shed those tears. Crying is God’s way of cleansing the sadness and baptizing the joy. May you be blessed with tears.
One Life
There is no single path to happiness and no one-size-fits-all way to properly live the one life God gave you. But, there is one thing you absolutely must do every day: Count your blessings.
Art of Conversation
The real art of conversation is not only knowing the right thing to say at the right place but to leave the unsaid wrong thing at the tempting moment. May God bless you with the art of holding your tongue when the conversation calls for it.
Loss
Loss is phase, not a permanent condition. May you be blessed with gain that comes from a healthy recovery. When the time is right you may not forget, but you will be able to move on.
