I love spring and the time to plant new seeds and plants in the ground in the hope that new life will spring up and vegetables and flowers will be produced. I encourage you to plant seeds of hope in your own life through your words and actions with those around you.
What are you putting into your life? Are you finding time to put in rest and positive words? With the pressure of this world, the things we put in also come out when we are under stress. I pray that you will find time this week to relax, to find words of motivation and be around people that bring laughter and acceptance.
As a teacher, we look forward to Spring Break with much anticipation. As we look forward to a Spring Break this year, we also reflect back on last year this time and all of the changes and challenges that have occurred in this last year.
What happens when Jesus tells us to love others as we love ourself but we find that we do not love ourselves very well? I challenge you to find a way to love yourself a little better this next week than you did the week before. As you begin to find ways to love yourself better, take that out to those around you and love someone else better this week.
Please pardon the puppies barking in the background...of course they were "protecting" our home from the cat next door...
Caring, Karen
Did you find yourself in the midst of a storm where you are living? Here in Texas we had a "once in 100 years" winter storm. There was more snow than we ever see that came with power outage or rolling black outs, water systems failing, and people unable to leave their homes to get the basic provisions. During these storms, we want Jesus to make it stop and make the storm end. Sometimes though he calms us in the midst of the storm. I pray as you move into this next week, you feel calm in what ever life is happening around you. I challenge you to go out and serve others, with your words or your actions, being the hands and feet of Jesus.
