Laughter.
Today, I laughed the harder than I have
laughed in a very long time…which is pretty dang hard because I laugh pretty
hard………all of the time…………at everything.
It was at a very inappropriate time
though…because it was during church…well…pretty much the whole morning at
church…
I know…it was kind of rude…and I apologize to
anyone who was sitting around me and became distracted by me…especially the
lady to the far left of me at the end of the row…yes…I was aware of and
ignoring your disapproving glare burning holes through me…
But this is me…and I like to have fun…and
some times…yeah, I am kind of immature about it and I do apologize for that…
If I was that annoying girl who was ALWAYS
distracting in church and cleaning out my purse and talking to those around me
and texting all the time…then that would be completely different…
But there was a time in my life when I was
not aloud to EVER laugh or have fun…and I was completely restricted from being
anything remotely close to a “happy” person.
So you know what…when I feel like laughing –
I am going to laugh!
I will try to be more considerate about it at
times where it’s not exactly appropriate…
But today…it was just really hard to control…and it felt really good...
So today…and basically every day…I am thankful
for laughter!

God-given discernment.
If you ask God to reveal your heart to you
and make you aware of what you need to change and work on and where you need to
grow…He will do it.
I’ve been praying a little prayer…and God has
been answering it in a big way.
God has been showing me so many different
things lately that I need to work on…
And it has been difficult…but really amazing.
For instance…
There are some people that just require a
little more patience than others…and God has helped me so much with my heart
towards them and how I go about communicating with them…
I think that when we have respect for
God…then our respect for everything else just falls into place…like respect for
ourselves and others.
We are all God’s children and He loves each
and every one of us THE SAME.
And lately He has really been convicting me
of that and how I go about handling some people…and how when I am impatient towards people and kind of rude...it's not like I am being rude to just SOMEONE...I am being rude to one of HIS children! And I definitely DO NOT want the wrath of a protective Father hanging over my head...
Like with people who REALLY annoy me…
If I’m being honest…I’m pretty dang
annoying myself and I’m almost positive that when I start to pray...all of
heaven just let’s out a tiring; “What now?!”
haha okay maybe not...but you know
what I mean.
So I am thankful for discernment and God
revealing to me what I need to work on…I guess I am pretty thankful for
patience as well…there yah go! A little two-in-one action for yah!

Kisses from God.
You know – those little unexpected things
that happen through out the day that you just KNOW it is God letting you know
that He is thinking about you and He loves you…
I love those moments.
I mean OF COURSE He is ALWAYS thinking about
us and He loves us more than we will ever know…but I think that it is extremely
easy to forget these two things…or at least become distracted to where we are
not being consciously aware of them…
So I am SO thankful for when God sends a
little surprise my way and reminds me that He loves me so much.
