Start your day with a positive attitude and fill the world with good vibrations.
Be the reason that people feel great, smile, and pass the positive energy to others.
1 Corinthians 11:1 NIV
Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.
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.
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.
Who’s in your corner when you need assistance?
Have you ever really thought about who is truly in your corner when you need someone? Who is there to help you fight your battles? Is it someone, is it God, or is it both?
Boxers always have people in their corner when they need them. The manager to give advice and throw in the towel when he knows it is time for their safety. A cut man to patch them up during the bouts, and a physician in case one is needed. They rely on them at all times.
We like boxers, need that help too. We all have friends that are willing to help with things when we need them, but having those or that one person that is in your corner is a different story.
It is a story of trust, confidence, reliability, dependability, faith, hope, being humble, and acceptance of help. Knowing that someone is there that has your back in every situation, no matter what (withstanding something that breaks the law). The comfort that someone is really there for you night and day, 365 days a year for anything you need, both physically, mentally and spiritually.
Knowing that no matter what it is, that they are in your corner without expectations, and that everything will be completely confidential and will never let you down there. That person that cares for you enough to help in every way they can and will never leave your corner.
Do you know who is in your corner? Are you in someones corner? Are you willing to be there for someone and be in their corner?
Is Christ in your corner?
Be that peace of mind for someone and be in their corner. Wouldn’t it be nice to know that you had someone in your corner?
Who is the cornerstone of your life?
Deuteronomy 31:8 NIV
The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”
Be the sticky note of life. Sticky notes are wonderful for keeping up with things, reminders, taking notes, and various other uses.
The best use of them is leaving little notes to friends, family, loved ones, co-workers, and strangers. Little love notes, words of encouragement, positive thoughts, bible verses, drawings like a smiley face, a kiss, something silly, or anything to brighten one’s day.
Leaving a sticky note in places, on the refrigerator, bathroom mirror, lunchboxes, backpacks, etc. is a great way to show someone that you care and miss them, or in places that strangers may find them so that it may bring joy to someones life.
Most do not walk around with a sticky note on their person, but being the sticky note adds a whole new level and is very personable.
Everything that you would write down, you can convey in person, by voice, with a smile, sign language and by acts of kindness, along with a gentle soothing word that can change the mindset and attitude of a person and make their day a happy one.
Be the sticky note and change a life and yours today.
Romans 12:10 NIV
Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.
Being my brother’s or sister’s keeper
What does it mean to be your brother’s or sister’s keeper?
It is about having someone’s back, caring for them, supporting them in the struggles, not judging them, but loving them, keeping their secrets safe, and relying on each other to make it through the struggles in the day to day life.
…Taking the time to listen to them and understanding where they come from, walking beside then in the good times and the bad, and holding each other acountable.
…Lifting each other up and praising them in the good, crying with them in the bad, and standing tall beside them through it all.
…Being there for them through thick and thin and never letting them go, no matter what.
Being your brother’s or sisters’s keeper means to give yourself selflessly to them, in order to help lift their lives up without thought, recognition, or ulterior motives, but strictly out of the love and caring for one another.
Proverbs 27:17 NIV
As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.
Unity is the essence of life. It is the tie that binds all things and people together as one.
Unity breaks all barriers, removes “I” and builds a team of oneness, creating a positive mental and spiritual outlook that is filled with love.
Psalms 133:1 NIV
How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!
In Honor of Many: Let’s Celebrate
I want to take a moment to lift and pray for everyone in the world. To celebrate all nationalities, all lives, all cultures, gender, and beliefs. There is so much history in everyone that there are not enough months, weeks, or days in the year to celebrate them all and assign time to them. The history in our lives dates back to the beginning with uncertainties, pain, hardships, struggles, and victories. Displaced families, lost loved ones, decisions made from fear, hope, and faith of all kinds stretched beyond belief. The very things that make up our history, also make up our very being in life to this day. Give your love and support for one another daily and fill our hearts and souls with unity and kindness.
As you begin to celebrate Black History Month, remember everyone and the history behind all nationalities so that it may enrich your life and the lives of many.
WE ARE THE WORLD!
