Accentuate the Positive

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.   

Sharing the Caring

 

Treasures In The Garden

Don't keep the goodies to ourselves.......

 

Don't keep thankfulness to ourselves.

 Let the people close to us in our lives

know how we feel about them, OFTEN.

Sometimes the very best gift we can offer them 

is our love and positive energy.

.......let's go out to share and give. 

 My word today is "Thankfulness"!

 

 

Giving, sharing, gratitude.

Giving and sharing

 

How do we say thank you
 for sunshine, good health......
For beautiful weather, for falling rain,
 for being happy, for having joy and love? 
 We can say thanks by 
sharing things that we have.
 We can say thanks and make the world
 a better place to live in, in tiny meaningful ways.
                                                                                   Soul Writings
Blessed are they who give......

We can put smiles on faces,
 bring flagging spirits to life,
 reinforce with positivity, 
            make an impact on the life of another.....
          .......it need only be the simplest act. 
                                                                                                           Simple Tom

So go out and give!

The joy that you experience,
 the smiles that flash in your direction

Wherever We Are....

FInding our vocation ....

Wherever God has placed you in this world, 

that is your vocation.

It is not what we do,

 but how much love we are willing to give,

 and what love we put into 

 whatever we do.

Not What You'd Expect

Treasures In The Garden

Giving your all....

Love has nothing to do with
 what you are expecting you should receive.
Love is what you are expected to GIVE
......everything!

My prayer for you

Treasures In The Garden

 

I say a prayer for you today

 

I am asking the Lord to bless you
as I pray for you this day,
to guide you and protect you
 as you journey on your way.
May His love always be with you
His promises are true,
 and when you give Him all your cares,
 we know He'll see you through.
So when that road you're travelling
seems difficult at best
 just remember i'll be here praying
and God will do the rest.

When there is nothing left but God
that is when you will find 
that God is all you need.

Believe and you CAN and WILL!

Measuring Success



 Hippeastrums peeping through the mulch. Spring Success!



We make a living by what we get.

 We make a life by what we give.

The heart is happiest when it beats for others.

This is the first day of the rest of my life.

 I have 1005% of the rest of my life to live.

I have measured the success of my life knowing that my entire family have turned out to be brilliant, good and caring adults. There is nothing else that compares. C 



Inner joy



This is Chook and Betsy who came to live with us
last Saturday, for the sole purpose of scratching in
 our garden.



     From My Garden

I have learned that giving with true joy gives me the  knowledge that I am really the one truly blessed by having  the ability and resources to be able to help others.


Today is the first day of the rest of my life.
I have 100% of the rest of my life yet to live.









Good morning!
 It is still very chilly in our part of the world. Yesterday it was -2 degrees. Today doesn't feel quite so cold inside our house, but outside a sneaky little wind sent chills through my bones when I went out to put water on some of my pot plants. The sun doesn't have much warmth in it yet.

I love to do things for people, not for rewards - I am embarassed if people feel they have to do things for me in return - but the pure joy in people's faces when something good has happened for them.

We have been visiting an elderly couple near us who have been done a few hard blows recently. We don't do anything that costs money or takes us out of our way. We pop in each day to see how things are going. If we are going to the shops we offer to pick up anything they might need, or we take them to do some shopping, water their garden, help to feed their animals. It's only a few minutes each day but it makes a little difference in their lives. They know somebody cares. That is a great feeling of joy for me as well.

I have been enjoying the Olympic games. It is so good to see the athletes from little known and smaller nations than ours doing well at some sports. The Games cost a lot of money, and the money COULD be spent helping other poorer nations. However, I feel that the Games contribute to world peace, and to see athletes competing beside each other in a peaceful manner does much to promote world peace - another form of giving with joy. As that peace begins to grow, passed on by peace loving nations, the world grows smaller and friendlier. I can only pray for peace, but the athletes have the ability and the resources to  take the giving to another height. Let that giving of peace continue to grow.

Peace be with you. C
