Being a wife, mum and a friend has taught me a lot more about life than when I was single. Everyday is a learning experience. It makes me stop, look, think and analysis situation, comments and actions of others and myself. Recently, God has put me in a situation where I feel my strength and faith were tested.
“Learn to smile at every situation. See it as an opportunity to prove your strength and ability” - Joe Brown.
This quote make me realise how true life is. The only thing I don’t agree is, being a God believer, I know I am able. God never allow a difficult circumstances or situation to enter your life if He knows you are not able. That is why I said my strength and faith were tested. Everyone has great strength they never realise and knew of. I learn that about myself recently. The difficult time has make me discover how strong I can be. At the same time, I realised the strength comes along with the faith I have for God.
I ’speak’ to God whenever and wherever I am. Thanking Him and asking Him for guidance and blessings in everything that I do. I mentioned before how Thanksgiving should be a daily bread in our life. And I thank God for that realisation. The daily reminder how good is God and building my special relationship with God, without realising it has make my faith stronger than ever. And this was tested recently. I am thankful I have God in me.
Its easy for each one of us to look at negativity in every situation. I guess it is safe to say, its human nature. I think everyone should grief, cry and feel sorry for themselves for a small period of time and then make a decision that enough of that and time to look at the other side. God side, the brighter, positive side of all situation.
Time to talk about Goodness.
Why talk about devil when we can rejoice God?
Why fear of Hell when we can remind ourselves the goodness of Heaven?
Why complain about what we can’t have when we can enjoy the blessings we received?
Why waste time depressing of the past when we can celebrate the victory of getting through it?
Why condemn others of their sin when we can share the love of God to them?
Some of us spend too much time dwelling and feeling sorry for ourselves that we forget how wonderful we are. We forget to love and be good to ourselves. I am guilty. I was doing just that. Letting myself feeling bad and feeling sorry about what had happened. Then it hit me! The time I wasted feeling bad and repeating the past in my head, I could have use that to celebrate the love and what I still have out of the bad situation.
I still have my husband, kids, family, friends and Him! So I made a decision. I choose to smile, laugh out loud, do something fun, listen to songs that make me happy, Bless and pray for each and everyone I know. Meet new people and make new friends. (I am happy I did; met 2 new mummies) I know this may sounds sooooo cheesy… I make out a lot with my husband now… hahahha.. I want to celebrate the love I have for my husband.
I think most of us always wait for the right time or the right atmosphere to do naughty little flirting or making out with our spouse. Why worry about not having the time to be close to our husband when we can exchange cheeky smile when we past each other; or just exchange a short loving kiss when he comes by the kitchen for a drink; or give him a passionate hug when he is watching tv? Time to get creative for love...... :)
All I am trying to say, the more we do, think, share, and approach goodness, the further we are to anything bad. The more we rejoice God, the further we will be from making sins.
Being a woman we often forget how much we are worth. I got this motivational sms from my cousin the other day and I want to share it with you ladies.
“A woman has strengths that amaze men. She can handle trouble and carry heavy burdens. She holds happiness, love and opinions. She smiles when feels like screaming. She sings when she feels like crying; cries when she’s happy and laughs when she’s afraid. There is only one thing wrong with her, she sometimes forgets what she is worth”.
So ladies, be good to each other. We are stronger when we have each other support. Be supportive to other mothers if you are one. Be thoughtful to other wives if you are one. Be kind to your colleague if you are working. Don’t judge, don’t bring them down. Listen and get to know them.
Share the goodness and may there be joy and more laughter in your life
God Bless!
