RECIPE TO LIVE BY

GREAT RECIPE to live by

Take a 10-30 minute walk every day. And while you walk, smile. It is the ultimate anti-depressant.

Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day. Talk to God about what is going on in your life. Buy a lock if you have to.

When you wake up in the morning complete the following statement, 'My purpose is to__________ today. I am thankful for______________'
Try to make at least three people smile each day.

Don't waste your precious energy on gossip, issues of the past, negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment.

Life isn't fair, but it's still good.

Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.

Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.

You are not so important that you have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present.

Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.

No one is in charge of your happiness except you.

Frame every so-called disaster with these words: 'In five years, will this matter?'

Forgive everyone for everything.

What other people think of you is none of your business.

GOD heals everything - but you have to ask Him.

However good or bad a situation is, it will change.

Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch!!!

Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.

Each night before you go to bed complete the following statements: I am thankful for__________. Today I accomplished_________.

Remember that you are too blessed to be stressed.

When you are feeling down, start listing your many blessings. You'll be smiling before you know it.

Garage Sales

Ahhh...garage sales. Don't you just love them! If you're like me you probably get excited just seeing a garage sale sign. There's something magical about driving up to a sale and seeing all those goodies up for grab at great prices. It's the "thrill of the hunt" and getting a great deal. I've always loved to shop and I've always loved a bargain.
These are a couple of my newest addition to my home from garage sale finds.
This adorable rabbit lamp.....so cute!

And this teacup display rack, for my teacup collection.

Everything in this corner is from garage sales..... chair, desk, plates, etc.

Hopeful Friday

Today is Hopeful Friday hosted by http://houseinroses.blogspot.com/ please go and visit Cielo and all the participants. Their beautiful post will uplift and inspire you.

In our story of Creation, we talk about each one of us having our own path to travel, and our own gift to give and to share. You see, what we say is that God gave us all special gifts. Each one of us is special, and each one of us is a special gift to each other because we've got something to share.
My God, today, let me use the gifts You have given me. Let me use them wisely.

Laundry Room

Don't you think that the laundry room is one of the least decorated or neglected room in the house? My was and it was not very inviting. It had an ugly breaker box that was always staring at me. I hated the breaker box so I decided to paint a bird house to conceal it and I also painted the opening to the attic and a few other little details. And now my laundry room looks more sunny and cheerful.
Here are some pictures of the finish room.

LOVE ONE ANOTHER .

LOVE to me is a powerful feeling, it breaks barriers, heals hearts, saves lives and brings miracles into our lives. Train yourself to think loving thoughts, speak loving words and demonstrate love in your every action—beginning with how you treat yourself moment to moment each day of your life.
The exact phrase "love one another" appears twelve times in the King James Bible. Each time it is directing us to love others . A list follows:

(John 13:34) A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
(John 15:12) This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
(John 15:17) These things I command you, that ye love one another.
(Rom 13:8) Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loves another hath fulfilled the law.
(1Th 4:9) But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.
(1Pe 1:22) Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:
(1John 3:11) For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.
(1John 3:23) And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.
(1John 4:7) Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loves is born of God, and knows God.
(1John 4:11) Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
(1John 4:12) No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
(2John 1:5) And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.

Our drama and suffering are but one thing—a wake-up call. A call to get it right! To heal ourselves so that we will heal our children, communities, country and our beautiful world. This is what God is calling us to do. TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER .

Are you listening?
