Good Morning Sunshine!

No, not the sun…YOU!

You are a bright and shining example of

God’s love.  Now, go and brighten

someone’s day just by being you.

.

Make it a great week!

My best to you, always.

“Is Anyone Listening?”
By Bob Perks

.
“How are you today?”

“I’m fine, how are you?”

“I’m not so good today.”

.

Silence.

.

Most of the time we take conversations like this
as simple chit-chat.  Nice words spoken as a
courtesy without real concern or obligation.

.

“How are you today?” he asks the next person.

“I’m doing great! How are you?”

“I’ve been better,” he repiled.

.

He rings up the sale, hands her the bag and
she leaves.

.

The next person moves up, “How are you today?”

“Sometimes our light goes out but is blown again into flame by an encounter with another human being. Each of us owes the deepest thanks to those who have rekindled this inner light.” ~ Albert Schweitzer 

We’ve all had times in our life when we desperately needed a “shot of inspiration” to move forward.

an excerpt from
May You Be Blessed
by Kate Nowak

…

It happened a few days after my father’s death, in that mind-numbing period of adjustment after someone we love leaves us. Having gone shopping for necessities for my trip back to my own home, I was standing in an otherwise empty aisle of a large chain store when suddenly I sneezed, the last vestiges of an allergy attack I’d fought earlier in the week.

…

Almost instantly, from the next aisle over I heard a voice call out, “Bless you,” and then another, and another, and yet another. All in all, in the span of only a few seconds, I counted eleven different voices coming from every possible direction in the store, some saying “God bless you,” others using the word “gezundheit,” but all blessing me, all calling good down upon me.

“It’s LOVE that make the world go ’round . . . !”

* * *

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, his mercies
never come to an end; they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
-Lamentations 3:22-23 (NRSV)

<><><><><>

The Response of Love

* * *

Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all. If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave room for the wrath of God; for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” No, “if your enemies are hungry, feed them; if they are thirsty, give them something to drink; for by doing this you will heap burning coals on their heads.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. -Romans 12:17-21 (NRSV)

* * *

Do not repay evil for evil or abuse for abuse; but, on the contrary,
repay with a blessing. It is for this that you were called.
-1 Peter 3:9 (NRSV) Read More

To speak gratitude is courteous and pleasant,
to enact gratitude is generous and noble,
but to live gratitude is to touch Heaven.
~ Johannes Gaertner
