The Day before the world changed.

Just think about it today is the day before everything changed and Jesus arrived in this world.  Also think about you, there was a day before you came into this world and everything changed the next day.

​You too have changed and world, just sharing your joy and love with everyone you have ever meet.

Today just think about how much joy and love you will share, tomorrow.  Put everything else outside of your thinking and only think about joy and love.  Let it grow within you as you grow in excitement of how wonderful you will feel, tomorrow and the rest of your life.

It is time for you to truly change everything with your smile, hugs, joy and love. 

Much joy and love to you and yours

Tis the season for giving, right?

It is amazing how when we are young we make lists of things we want, then later as parents we want to give our kids their wishes. 

But somehow in all the rush to giving we got caught up with worrying about the number of gifts or making sure everyone gets something.  Is that the true meaning of giving gifts?

Oh believe me I got caught in that too.  The funniest thing I ever did when I was a young parent without much money is I wrapped some of the kid’s old toys as presents so they had tons of presents.

Now you do know why this all started, right.  The ultimate gift was the meaning of Christmas.  Yes, God sent his Son, Jesus to us to free us.  I will not get too deep into the true gift, let’s just talk about gifts.

The other day I watched my son’s pack up blankets, hats, gloves, food and water and deliver it to a group of homeless people.  They gave them something they needed and were they happy, yes all the people receiving and my son’s.  They gave something meaningful and needed.

Makes me think about my gifts I am giving.  I had to stop and think, am I giving to just have something for them under the tree or do they really need the gifts I have for them.  Then my grandson asked me what I wanted for Christmas and I told him just a hug every time I see you.  He smiled and said your wish is my gift to you and he gave me a big hug.  Now to me that is one amazing gift.

Remember your gift giving does not need to cost much, just a simple hug and smile will do the trick.

Much joy and love to you and yours

What if you are an angel?

​I watched this wonderful movie the other day which had this angel and her mission was to bring the Christmas spirit back to a town.  She was very sweet and kind to everyone she met and wished everyone joy and love.  At one point she said imagine you are all full of the spirit and allow the joy to come from you.  That is when it hit me, image we are all angels here on a mission to share joy and love with everyone we meet.

Give it a try and share you love, bring good cheer to others, greet others with a kind word or act, smile and give your best today.

I am so excited with this new thought I will be smiling the whole day, and looking forward to more days of being an angel.

Much joy and love to you and yours

Those were fighting words back in 1775, Patrick Henry did not want be to controlled by someone else.

How about you?  Are you letting your past control your future?  Are you letting things people did or didn’t do control you? Do you spend all your time discussing anger, hate, or fear?

To be honest I hear it all the time, people complaining about someone else or what happened.  I say enough, let it go.

I want to discuss your plans for joy and love, I want to celebrate you new discoveries in life.  I want to cheer you on and I want to be cheered on to living a wonderful life. 

Just the other day as we were decorating our Christmas tree I sat back and watched my grandchildren dancing in joy.  As they uncovered another ornament they would laugh and ask about it.  I gave them stories for each ornament and they danced around the tree as we played music I could even hear them trying to sing along.

All the past could not even touch the moments of joy and love I just felt and watched.  Sure is more fun enjoying life than crying about it. 

Get out there and enjoy your liberty.

​Much joy and love to you and yours
