About Me
- Words2Bless
- The Lord has recently brought into my life some wonderful people intent on supporting healing of the past. I am so inspired! I started this blog so I would have a place where I can write, put out scriptures, and thoughts. It will be for anyone, based on healing, wholeness, victory, freedom in Christ, and the list goes on and on. I will be adding stories and that kind of thing to help and encourage. I would like to add phone contact info on the blog so if anyone needs further areas to look they can find it. If you would like to have your information published here, please contact me; Words2Bless@hotmail.com ~~Leola

Life gives us lessons so take notice
I have been on a journey to visit family. Along the way many memories arose. When you get together with extended family there are always a lot of issues, conflict, trials, good times and much, much, more. We can choose to respond either positively, as God would wish us to, or negatively, which is not our best. For the first time, on these trips, I chose to let if fall off, like teflon, and not stick to me. I purposely chose to respond and not react when conflicts arose. I saw myself as a Peace Maker, not just a Peace Keeper. What a joy!!! That is indeed growth, on my part. The Scriptures tell us that. . . "as much as possible keep peace with one another." I believe that to be words to live by. I would encourage you to see all life lessons as one to "take note". To learn and grow and expand and surprise one another. Wouldn't it be great if we could just let things fall off of us and only exude sweet perfume on others? This world would be a much better place to visit. Enough of my thoughts for the night. Tomorrow, when you awake, make a purposeful choice to give each other a break, to look the other way, to turn the other cheek.

This is so true.. we have so many choices in life and we can choose to be a peacemaker or do just the opposite!
ReplyDeleteThis is so true Leola. We have many choices in life ! To choose this over the opposite can make such a difference! We benefit as well as others and more importantly , we truly show ourselves as being Christ like!
