I was thinking this morning about all the junky things in my life at present. I began to feel so discouraged and downright sad. But then the thought came to my mind...in a few years, all this sadness and pain will be gone. I even reduced the time as I thought more and more of the great things in store for me. I thought, "No, in a few months, good things will come to me." At that moment, I began to feel better. Do I know what is going to come to me that is good? Not really. I mean, I can make something good come to me. I can go buy something I really want. I can make a new friend. But what I am expecting good to come to me is a little less superficial. I am expecting some life changing good thing to come to me. Something deeper to touch my soul.
As Fall is here and the holidays are approaching...expect something good to come to you that will be for a lifetime.
Be Fabulous to the Gem that is You!!

ReplyDeleteThank you Aurellia for being so honest and real (This is Leah). I've noticed that my life is filled with these dichotomies: sorrow and joy. There are things that if I think long enough about them I will feel the same way-sad and discouraged. Today, I was tempted to focus on those things and feel sad. But,I've realized that we have a choice about what we choose to focus on. So I didn't give the sad things my attention and I began to forget about them and feel better. Yes, good is happening for me and for you right now! I feel good knowing that negative emotions don't have to consume me. I have a choice. I choose to expect blessings internally and externally. There's a scripture in Proverbs that says "he who continually seeks good finds favor." I love that. Thank you for being you dear sister. The best is yet to come and I am praying with you for it to come here on earth as it is in heaven.
