Lessons from Heartaches…

Our brokenness is supposed to make us stronger and better persons!

We cannot stay in our comfort zone forever.

There’s always hope.  The sun rises anew every morning.

There are true friends who are willing to get drenched in the rain with us.

Just keep walking and never lose sight of our why.

Life doesn’t revolve around one person.  There are other people too.  And there is God.

We are precious and Loved unconditionally, completely, eternally no matter what ü.

 

*Lord, when life gives us lemons, help us make the best lemonade that could truly quench thirsty hearts. May we remember that everything happens for a reason and that we live for a purpose. May we choose to be joyful come what may.*

We All Have a Why

For sure.

Our family is why.  Helping others is why.  Love is why.  Health.  Your work.  Your garden.  Traveling.  Fun moments.  Friends.  Sharing your gifts.  Faith in our hearts.

Whatever makes us alive and happy.  Whatever puts a spring in your step every morning!

It's a new year, cheers to another lot of 365 days to live our why!

 

*Thank you, Lord, for seeing us through another year.  May we live our purpose as we journey each day of the new year.  Please never let us be separated from You for we would be lost without You.*

That's Christmas To Me

Already more than a week after Christmas, but I'm still writing about 'the most wonderful time of the year'!  I'm still not over it.  I don't want to.  Not ever.

Because people are always in a festive mood.  With a twinkle in their eyes and happy faces.  People are more forgiving.  Kinder.  Nicer.

How I wish it's Christmas every day!

But more than the kindness and joyfulness, I wish we would remember the reason why we have Christmas.  Jesus was born into our world!

Jesus then should be Christmas' main symbol!  We should not leave Him in the manger but carry Him in our festivities and our hearts (not just at Christmastime, but every day).

So the next time we celebrate Christmas, we should not forget that it is Jesus' birthday that we are celebrating (that is why it is a joyous occasion and a great reason to feel loved and give love!).

And that everything else (putting up decorations, giving gifts, spending time with loved ones, partying, etc) is just secondary.

Well, that's Christmas to me ü.

(P.S.  The other day while driving through an intersection, I realized that the traffic lights, which we see every day, are green and red, Christmas colors! How nice!)
