BEAUTIFUL THINGS
2 Corinthians 12:9 " My grace is all you need, for my
power is the greatest when you are weak.
The most beautiful things in life are really not things. They are the places, the memories, the feelings, and the moments that bring about a smile and possibly some laughter to your life. Try not to rush and slow down to enjoy your life and the lives of those around you. Just take one step at a time, one day at a time, and it might put you on a path of who knows what? Start small but be persistent along that path, even if it seems to be a really crooked one. Life is not easy and sometimes the twists and turns can seem overwhelming. Whenever you feel in doubt, remember how far you have come and what fears you might have faced. Your faith will help you get through even the strongest storm. There is so much that a person cannot control but don't let that get you down, try and use it as a stepping stone to a better path. Things change every day is so many different ways. Do not let others try to influence your life too much. and be true to yourself-that is a very important truth for you to know. Trying to please everyone is just not going to happen but that is all right. Be true to yourself and your beliefs. Even when you feel at your lowest just try to still bring a smile or even a laugh to yourself and others. It is contagious. Every moment could be a new beginning or even maybe a new ending.
A person should still be attentive to other people and their wants and needs, but do not lose yourself in this process. You have your own goals, your own perspective, your own ambitions, and your own standards. Giving your energy, your words, your thoughts to people who do not appreciate it is not the way to go. You are your own person - and what a fantastic and special person you are!!
