Be Thankful.
Ohla Bee,
Happy Friday!!!!
How have you been? Long post alert( One of those days...Sorry *bashful*)
I'm so happy it's Friday :0) Not for any special reason though.
There's always a certain air about on Fridays; one of expectancy and limitless opportunities with no boundaries.
There's this bad habit I have to work at breaking.
Disappearing.
There. I said it.
I disappear ALOT.
Awhile back, I was reading a book or something ( I forget what now) and I got lost in my thoughts; must've been something from the book that triggered it off.
You know how sometimes you're tempted to compare yourself to others?
That's the biggest error of all time.
You're unique in your being, gorgeous in your beauty - inside and out.
Every strand of hair on your head is accounted for and nothing happens to you, 'by chance.'
It might not seem like all your desires and dreams have been realized but God is working out the kinks and the lines HAVE fallen in pleasant places for you.
There cannot be another you. Surely, you must know that?!! It might not seem that way to you but if you understand the thoughts God has for you; of good........to bring you to an expected end, surely you'd leap for joy and flash those dimples of yours in a huge smile!!!!
Be thankful. If you're still here, then God isn't finished with you yet. He always has BIG plans as long as you're concerned.
Think of all the simple and complicated ways God has blessed you and thank HIM for it.
A super gorgeous friend of mine called me once and asked about another mutual friend of ours. In my usual disappearing manner, I'd zoned out and was guilty of not checking on her.
Turns out she's been going through a rough patch. Rough, dark, sad patch.
Life really isn't about you and what assets you acquire. It is about how much joy you bring to others. Less of yourself and more of God.
While you're running your race, spare some time to help the little boy across the road or appreciate nature( whichever you stumble on). Don't shoulder all the grudges, pain, anger and hurt of the whole world,haba! You weren't built for that.
Let go of the hurt. People might not be there for you or repay you back for your kindness or appreciate the effort you make. Count it all joy. A line from a prayer I learnt a longggg time ago says,' To give and not to count the cost.'
Don't go seeking for the ultimate in humans. We all have our shortcomings and we are not perfect.
In the end, we'd act like the humans that we are. That notwithstanding, brush it all off and be you. Stand for what is right, dream the biggest dreams and work towards it.
And if you feel blue and wonder if you aren't the dumbest bunny ever, find your peace in God.
Hmmm...
Don't be deceived. The grass is definitely NOT greener on the other side!!!!! You just might need binoculars to see that!
Be happy always!!!!!!!!!
Happiness shouldn't be the destination, it should be the journey. Enjoy who you are now, you'd never get this minute back.
The things that seem important to you today won't mean anything tomorrow and the pain you feel today will be a forgotten memory tomorrow.
Go easy on yourself. Don't beat yourself up or berate yourself.
Make the mistakes if you must, but learn the lessons therein so you don't repeat the same.
Trust God.....completely.
You'll come out of this too. God has you in HIS corner. One with God is definitely a majority.
God bless and keep you and yours, always! Amen!
Cee.
