Life ATBP
Life and everything in between. ❤️
It shall be done to you according to your faith. Matthew 9:29
😇
At your absolute best you'll be good enough for the right people. But at your worst, you’ll still be worth it to the right ones. Remember that. Keep holding on.
Don't waste your time in anger, regrets, worries and grudges.
Life is too short to be unhappy.
Take care of your body. It's the only place you have to live.
-Jim Rohn
IF I HAD MY LIFE TO LIVE OVER
I would have talked less and listened more.
I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was stained and the sofa faded.
I would have eaten the popcorn in the "good" living room and worried much less about the dirt when someone wanted to light a fire in the fireplace.
I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather rambling about his youth.
I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed.
I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted
in storage.
I would have sat on the lawn with my children and not worried about grass stains.
I would have cried and laughed less while watching television, and more
while watching life.
I would have gone to bed when I was sick, instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding pattern if I weren't there for the day.
I would never have bought anything just because it was practical, wouldn't show soil or was guaranteed to last a lifetime.
Instead of wishing away nine months of pregnancy, I'd have cherished every moment, realising that the wonderment growing inside me was the only chance in life to assist God in a miracle.
When my kids kissed me impetuously, I would never have said, "Later. Now go get washed up for dinner."
There would have been more "I love you's" and more "I'm sorry's",.but mostly, given another shot at life, I would seize every minute..
look at it and really see it.. and never give it back.

RESPECT THE INVISIBLE
A car ahead was moving like a turtle and not giving me way inspite of my continuous honking!
I was on brink of losing my cool when I noticed the small sticker on the cars rear.
It reads...
"Physically challenged; Please be patient.”
And that changed everything!! I immediately went calm and slowed down!!
In fact I got a little protective of the car and the driver.
I reached work a few minutes late, but it was ok!
And then it struck me. Would I have been patient if there was no sticker!?
Why do we need stickers to be patient with people!?
Will we be more patient and kind with others if people had labels pasted on their foreheads?
Labels like:
~ Lost my job
~ Fighting cancer
~ Going through a bad divorce
~ Suffering Emotional abuse
~ Lost a loved one
~ Feeling worthless
~ Financially messed up....and more like these.
Everyone is fighting a battle we know nothing about.
The least we can do is be patient and kind.
We don't have to put people through the pressures of explaining over times before we understand their pains and offer our little best.
As you go through each passing day always remember there's an invisible label on everyone.
A simple virtue of patience may just be the respect you're according that invisible label.
May your day be blessed ❤️🙏
Can anyone of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?
Matthew 6:27 NIV
Your vocation in life is where your greatest joy meets the world's greatest need.

Delayed doesn't necessarily mean it's denied.
A kick in the rear is a step forward.
