Sept.29/21 – Most people need love and acceptance more than they need advice.

LoveandAcceptance

So true. I desire to be a good listener, it takes work and discipline. That’s why we were given two ears and one mouth. I’m a work in progress.

Peace to you.

Aug.18/21 – Remember a diamond is just a piece of coal that didn’t stop under pressure.

DiamondCoal

We all experience many pressures and stresses in this life.. It can feel like a snow storm. You know where you want to go and end up, but can’t see your way. Keep moving, don’t stop in that white out. You will come out the other side better for it. Focus on the diamond.

Peace to you.

Aug.15/21 – Just for today I will not find fault with anything.

Posted on August 15, 2021 by bshiveofhope

IwillnotfindFault

Easier said than done, as the saying goes. I admit it is easier to complain and find fault than showing grace and acceptance. The important step to take is to recognize it and work on it. Accepting grace is easy, giving it often has to be a conscious effort. It’s a work in progress for me.

Peace to you.

July 22/21 – Always drink up stream from the herd.

Posted on July 22, 2021 by bshiveofhope

Good advice. I have heard it said if you hang out with the pigs, you are going to get dirty. Don’t get caught up with negativity and gossip. Boundaries. Pray and lift those that are down and dirty with the pigs in life.

Peace to you.
