Word for the Week - Ephesians 5:19

I will speak to others in psalms, hymns and spiritual songs.  I will sing and make music in my heart to the Lord, and always give thanks to God the father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ...Ephesians 5:19

As you meditate on the scripture and enjoy the image ask and think about the many gifts you have been given, the many challenges you face, and the fruit that will come from the work of your hands. 

Words and images for the week, to bless, encourage and inspire you to be all that you have been called to be. 

What will you do with what you have been given today?

Stay blessed and be a blessing

Gratititude's and Celebration Journal - Week 64 - Stars

Gratitude and Celebration Journal - Stars

When we look up at the sky we can see the beauty of what seems like hundreds of stars twinkling, each with their own light shining for a purpose.  But in fact there are actually millions of stars each a planet in its own right and shining its’ light sometimes bright enough for the naked eye to see.

How are the lives that we lead impacting on others from afar?  Are we showing our best qualities, making the most of what we have and making sure that what is inside us can be of as equal value and not just for show?  Don’t let those negative voices stop you from being who you are truly meant to be.  In letting our lives be a true reflection of the love that God has for us we release others to shine like the stars that they too were meant to be.

I am grateful and celebrate the beauty that we have within us, and in the night sky - the great expanse before us holds many mysteries and insights.

Thought for the week

You are beautiful, and not defined by your past mistakes  Face your fear, name it, and then move on and laugh out loud!  We have to see our lives from many different perspectives, and when we can laugh in the face of adversity, we will find many doors and solutions making themselves available - Realityarts

Quote

Patience is power. With time and patience the mulberry leaf becomes silk. ... Chinese Proverb

Scripture 

Do not fear, for you will not be ashamed; Neither be disgraced, for you will not be put to shame; For you will forget the shame of your youth, And will not remember the reproach of your widowhood anymore. Isaiah 54:4

Quote Wednesday - John O'Donohue

There's no inner landscape in the invisible world of our souls and hearts but is full of the most melodious and nourishing and wild freedom.  And everyone should go there, to the wild place, where there are no cages, where there are not tight rooms without windows and without doors.  Everyone should go to the free clearance places in their own hearts...

John O'Donohue
