Serve others quietly with a gracious heart and a lack of expectations or hidden agendas.
Acts of servitude, kindness and love will change lives and the world. It is not the size of the deed or action; but the thought that lasts forever.
Live your life with a pure servants heart that is filled with desire, compassion, a mindset and a desire to selflessly help and bless the lives of others.
Ephesians 6:7 NIV
Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not people,
A simple smile is worth more than a thousand words.
Change a life with your beautiful smile.
Contagious; that scary word that sends people flying in all directions.
Contagious is commonly thought of as an infection spread from one person to another by direct or indirect contact. However; all things don’t have to be bad to be contagious.
Positive thoughts, attitudes, actions, and encouragements can become so infectious; that it can spread throughout the world as fast as a virus.
Calming fears instead of creating them and panic; helping the world instead of tearing it down can change attitudes and lives.
Be contagious and infect the people in your life, the workforce, and the world with kindness, compassion, understanding, unity, and love.
Proverbs 15:4 NIV
The soothing tongue is a tree of life, but a perverse tongue crushes the spirit.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder; is one of the truest statements ever made.
Beauty is far deeper than outward appearances. Beauty is the heart, mind, and soul of a person. The compassion, love, caring, actions and understanding that makes a person beautiful.
The outward appearance is but a pretty shell that changes with time, but inner beauty lasts a lifetime. When one sees this inner beauty in a person and in their own self; it is then that one’s appreciation of true beauty shines.
Love yourself and others for the real beauty.
Find the beauty in yourself.
Find the beauty in everyone you meet.
Find the beauty in the world.
1 Peter 3:4 NIV
Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.
Every morning is a new day that gives you a chance to be a better, happier, healthier, more positive, loving version of yourself.
Even in the middle of storms, you have the chance to start fresh with a new outlook.
Let your energy flow through you and to all around you.
Genuine kindness is an easy way to show another struggling person that love exists.
Change a life with love and kindness. It will comfort a stuggling person in that time of need.
There is always the one piece of fruit that can spoil all the rest.
It is usually the fruit at the bottom of the bowl, not seen, that ruins the rest of the good fruit.
It must be removed before any other damage is done to the remaining good fruit.
People are much like fruit; one toxic person or thing can ruin so many around them.
It is up to us to remove the toxic from our lives; so that we have a happy and healthy life that leads to a positive influence on others around us.
Matthew 7:18 NIV
A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit.
Galatians 5:22 NIV
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
Be the one that helps others look forward to tomorrow.
The one that gives hope; the one that brings smiles; the one that fills others with love.
Be the one that gives others encouragement to help other people.
Be the one that helps change lives.
Be the one that wants to make a difference.
Let your life and love be brighter than the worries of the day.
May your heart be filled with happiness and your palette filled with bright colors, so you may paint the world that you would like to live in.
Be the palette for the world to paint from.
Cross-stitch is a beautiful piece of work when completed.
The hours spent pulling different colors of thread through a fabric, in X shaped stitches to create a scene, patterns, phrases, flowers, people, and so many other things are a skilled piece of artwork. The beauty of the finished product is stunning for all to behold.
The hidden backside of it, though, is a complete mess. Thread going from one spot to another, in a gridded pattern, using different stiching patterens at times, that ends up looking like a bowl of spaghetti. A complete disaster that is often hidden and unseen when completed, and so different than what the finished piece is seen by others.
People are much like a cross-stitch piece. We see the beauty and outward appearance of a seemingly happy and wonderful human being. What we mostly do not see is the mess and turmoil deep inside, that is hidden from the world.
The distress of everyday life that causes chaos deep within. The smile and the persona that hides all of the inward battles and is projected in a beautiful smile, a kind action or word.
However; there is the cleaner version of cross-stitch. The version that took more time and work to make the front a work of art and the back cleaned up and neat.
People are exactly like that, and go through that same transformation when they work on their inner self. A cleaned up and better projected inner version that is amazing for themselves and for the world to see.
All it takes is a little work, dedication, faith, belief, effort, and a willingness to make ourselves beautiful inside and out, leaving a masterpiece for all to see.
Be the cross-stitch master piece in life.
1 Peter 3:4 NIV
Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.
