Accentuate the Positive

No Infringement of Copyright Intended

Treasures In The Garden

The pleasure of giving can outweigh always receiving.....

Receiving makes giving 

last longer.

Giving makes receiving

last even longer.

The smile on the face of someone receiving is 

what we receive for our gift of giving.

My word for today is "POSITIVITY"

Each day I choose to live with my heart filled with joy and love.   

A High- tech Psalm

No Infringement intended

The Lord is my programmer,

I shall not crash.

He installed His software

on the hard disc of my heart;

all his commands are user- friendly

His directory guides me to the right

choices for his name sake.

Even though I scroll through the

problems of life, I will fear no bugs,

for He is my backup.

His password protects me.

He prepares a menu before me

in the presence of my enemies

His help is only a keyboard away.

Surely goodness and mercy

will follow me all the days of my life

And my file will be merged

with His and saved forever.

Even technology can be linked to God.

Worth thinking about.

Memories Remain........

Making Memories

Memories remain

Within my heart and mind

of things so long ago

of things I've left behind.

Of people i have loved

and lost along the way....

the spirit still lives on,

the love is here to stay.

It only takes a moment,

to restore what used to be,...

like footprints in the sand

they've left their mark on me.

Memories remain

forever they will be....

ingrained upon my heart,

where love resides in me.

I devote these words to special people who have touched my life and moved on,who have grown up and made a new life for themselves, who have died but still live in my memory.

Life's Plans

Treasures In The Garden

What we plan for our day ahead may never occur.......

Those who died yesterday

had planned for today.

And those who have died 

today had plans

for tonight.

We must not take our life for granted.

In the blink of an eye

everything can change.

So we need to forgive often

and love with all our heart.

We may never know

when we may not have

the chance to forgive again.

                        Fb/hugs and kisses.

....... we wont always know when our time will be up!

My word for today is "FORGIVE!"

I plan  to live each day with my heart filled with joy.

Holy Cow!

Treasures In The Garden

Living the best life possible.......

Life's journey is not about

Arriving at our grave

in a body that is well preserved....

But rather it is to skid in

sideways, totally worn out

shouting: " Holy Cow....

what a journey that was!"

I have lived a total and full life.

Thank you, God!

.... I hope I have done what you asked.

I will live my life with a heart filled with joy and gratitude!

My word for today is "JOURNEY!"

 

Living Life to the Fullest

Treasures In The Garden

Having no regrets....... I think of my grand children when I read this good advice, because these are the kind of things children do... with no inhibitions. being childlike is living with lightness in our heart. 

Eat that piece of chocolate cake

Walk in the rain

Splash in the puddles

Ride with the windows down

Dance. Sing. Talk to strangers

Smile at everyone

Hug someone

Go Barefoot

Take naps

Make LOTS OF LOVE

Try new things

Spend time with the kids

Laugh every chance you get

Help others.

LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST....

NO REGRETS!

LIFE IS WAY TOO SHORT!

I choose to live every day with JOY in my heart!

My word for today is "LIVE!"

Choosing to Forgive

Treasures n The Garden

Forgiveness is a gift we give to ourselves.......(Tony Robbins)

When we make the decision to forgive others,

it isn't done for their benefit,

But for the benefit of our own self.

The other person has to live with whatever

it is that they have done,

but we deserve to move on and

 so give ourselves peace within our heart.

I choose to live with JOY in my heart!

My word for today is "CHOOSE!"

The Benefits of Friendship

Purposeful Prayer

The Knots prayer.........

Dear God

Please untie the knots

that are in my mind,

my heart, and my life.

Remove the have nots,

the can nots, and the do nots,

that I have in my mind.

Erase the will nots,

may nots,

might nots that may find

a home in my heart.

Release me from the could nots

would nots and 

should nots that obstruct my life.

And most of all

 Dear God

I ask that you remove from my mind,

my heart, my life, all the am nots 

that I have allowed to hold me back,

especially the thoughts

that"I am not good enough".

Amen.

The Unseen Gifts

                          Peaceful Presents

 

The gifts I'd leave beneath your tree

Aren't those that you could touch or see.

Not wrapped in Christmas paper gay

But.... gifts to bless you everyday.

The gift of friendship warm and true

Is one that I would leave for you.

Good health and happiness and cheer,

To keep you smiling all the year.

The gift of peace that comes from God,

 With prayers to guide each path you trod.

And when your heart has lost it's song

 The gift of hope to cheer you on. 

Happy Christmas

 Happy 2015.

From

My family to Yours.

Gardening Gabble

To Nurture a Garden:

 

is to not just to feed the body.......

 The glory of gardening:

hands in the dirt,

 head in the sun,

heart in nature.

.......but feed the soul as well.

Inner Winner

Treasures In The Garden

 

Happiness doesn't come from outer circumstances but from inner assurance.......

To be an inner winner I need to:

Count my blessings,

 Practice kindness,

Use my time wisely,

Listen to my heart,

Do my very best,

Let go the rest,

Breathe,

Go with the flow.

....... it comes from within!

 

My word for today is "HAPPINESS!"

 

 

It's time to make a change

Treasures In The Garden

 

Do we always know what things are important? 

Could it be.......

The ability to be able to love....

or: making expressions of kindness

 to those around us....

or: touching the heart, the emotions

 of the people we love....

Or, the wordless conveyance of care

 by a look or touch....

Perhaps we could give it the chance to work.

 It takes 21 days to change a habit.

Maybe it will help change the lives of others as well as our own.

Different Needs

 

Treasures In The Garden

Sometimes people's needs.......

Christmas Courage

Treasures In The Garden

 

Wouldn't it be wonderful.......

 

Those we love don't have to

 be exactly like ourselves.

Life is too short for drama 

and petty stuff.

So.... 

kiss s-l-o-w-l-y,

laugh insanely,

LOVE truly,

forgive quickly,

and pray often!

Friendship isn't about whom

 we've known the l  o  n  g  e  s  t.

 It's about those who came

and never left our heart.

....... if we could remember good stuff, every minute of every day!

 

My word for today is "Friendship"! 

 

Welcome home.......

Treasures In The Garden

 

Home is where ........

 

Home is where love resides,
 Memories are created,
Friends are always welcome,
And laughter never ends.

....... the heart belongs!

 

My word for today is "home"!
