We GET what we GIVE… 

This is a fact and it's based on the spiritual principle that we will get out of it whatever we put into it, no matter what the situation or opportunity is. 

If I give encouragement and focus on positively supporting on others, I receive grace and peace from this positive motive. 

If I give discouragement and focus inward on my selfish interests, then I get this negativity back in some form or fashion. 

It’s always a blessing to me to get to spend time with friends and catch up on their lives. Whether I am hearing of the good things or the challenges, I find myself listening to learn the source. I think it’s a part of our human nature and experience here in this life that no matter what, either good or not so good, we have a part in it that we need to look at. 

It never ceases to amaze me that the ones who are receiving the most blessings are giving the most of their time and sharing their resources with others. Along with that, those of us that are hurting the most are having a hard time being of service to others. 

Now maybe it’s different for you but over the years I have learned that when I am experiencing challenges and or hard times, it is a good time for me to shift my focus away from me and seek out another person to help. Sure enough, my situation improves, and things get better. 

How’s it working out for you?… Check your experience...

 Lord let us look to see what we can do to help others instead of seeing what we can get from them, AMEN. 

“Not returning evil for evil or insult for insult, but giving a blessing instead; for you were called for the very purpose that you might inherit a blessing.” 1 Peter 3:9

Have a blessed day y’all

Please help us help others!

 Everybody is good at something…. 

We all have talents, abilities, and skills. 

Thank goodness they are not all the same. It’s easy to get caught up in the cultural norm of our society of comparing ourselves to others, but with that comes the human based negative emotions that lead to pride, envy, greed, and so on. 

What if we practiced celebrating our differences instead of belittling them? 

I am lost without my friends who are mechanically inclined as well as my other friends who have the common sense I was not blessed with! 

We each have the unique ability to help others and what a positive feeling that produces. 

Are you willing to look for ways to help and celebrate your differences?.. Check your experience… 

“He was inexplicably different.” Big Book pg 9 

Lord, let us use our differences to help others and learn from one another, AMEN. 

“There are different kinds of gifts, but they are all from the same Spirit. There are different ways to serve but the same Lord to serve. And there are different ways that God works through people but the same God. God works in all of us in everything we do.” 1 Corinthians 12:4-6 

Have a blessed day Y’all!
