[Faith-talk] What's on your mind.

[Poppa Bear]

Hello Debby, I do like all of those ideas and I can't disagree with any of
them. Thanks for taking the time to share.

I received three blessings this month.  On one outing, a stranger paid for
my hair appointment, and earlier today, another individual paid for my meal.

The third blessing is a work-from-home opportunity, which sounds worthwhile;
pray about that!

I found this on another list, and really liked a good many of these
thoughts.

One of my favorites is one I blurted out one day, while conversing with a
friend.  It is "The only thing you can do about worry is nothing."

Here are the remaining quotes, from another list I'm on.

Some Blessings For Your Day

With the holiday season almost upon us, it's time to remind some people that
I'm thinking about them. So if you need something to make you feel better,
here are a few blessings from the heart that I wanted to share with you...

Don't be defined by the box life puts you in

Stand up to your fears

Enjoy the little things in life

And give yourself the freedom to get a bit nutty

Don't be afraid to open doors

And treat yourself!

Don't let anything interrupt your rest

And learn to overcome obstacles in your way

Give a big hug to anyone you care for

And don't be afraid of challenge!

Remember, life is a wheel, just give it a whirl

And you will get what you need to reach high

I'm here for you, always!

Debbie Human
