Do you have earth angels? I sure do.
I never can thank or repay them enough for the drops of love they continue to drip on me as life happens. They are just there standing quietly in the gap sending love. I don’t see them or even talk to them often enough. Even still, just when I least expect it and usually when I need it most a card comes in the mail, a Facebook post, an email or blog comment of sweet assurance in our Heavenly Father‘s Love through vessels of bone & skin. This is my latest “overflowing with love attack”! My angel says to me that I remind HER of JOY! Little does she know her spirit and care for people is the fountain we all need to be a light in the darkness of life happening the way it does.
A message from my earth angel to all who are blessed to read this blog post today. “Happiness is a feeling that comes and goes based on what’s going on in our lives; but joy is a gift from God that will never change, lessen or be taken away. God, through His Spirit, grants us love, joy, and peace no matter what is happening in our lives! As Christians, we shouldn’t expect our joy to always feel like happiness, but instead recognize joy as inner security — a safeness in our life with Christ.”
A Compliment, a smile, being generous with your time, we never know how much people need our love and encouragement JUST BECAUSE. Pass on the love…I forget all to often and get caught up in my little bubble of myself. I read too much into things, over analyze, protect my heart and keep safe distances. Thank you for your love the way I can receive it during this season of my life sweet earth angels!
As I am in a super stretching and growing phase in my life personally and professionally it’s easy to forget the easy rules I try to live by and get off track. Even worse cause myself a tail spin back to the old ways of being in the world that old lie that life “owes” me something along the lines of “happiness”. It doesn’t. AT ALL. We owe it to life to be the happy! We owe it to life to be free of anger, worry, clutter to create the space for happiness to be alive in. It’s created within any situation, any hardship, all situations can be happy, they already are happy by choice when we allow it to be present.
WHY are the most simple things the hardest to master? I fight with my expectations on a minute to minute basis. I expect to have all the answers. I expect to have a happy life that I make a difference but I still seem to get stuck in my turn style of frustrations and get off course. My earth angels seem to know exactly when I need them to say something that stops me dead in my tracks and bonks me on the head.
God knows our prayers even if we don’t have the words to say them out loud. As I continue to walk the path of “what the hell am I doing” and being surprised by the glorious outcomes God has in store, it’s clear. Happiness just IS, even when its hard being in constant learning and making mistakes mode. Everyday is a new day of possibility of perfect imperfections! Hakuna Matata my dearest Marcy! Thank you for reminding me what my priorities of JOY are in Jesus. 🙂 It means no worries for the rest of your days. It’s our problem-free philosophy! Thank you for being a bright light sent from above!
Living Life Out Loud Feels Good
