Clean Up Misunderstandings With People

Suppose someone sees something in a very different light than you do; find out why. Perhaps the person misunderstood what you tried to convey to them. If one word is wrong in a conversation with someone, you might stir up a hornet’s nest and not even know why. Suppose someone gets mad at you suddenly; find out why. Do not sit around crying and thinking, why won’t they speak to me anymore? Ask your friend or coworker what you said or did that made them mad at you and got it resolved quickly before it keeps escalating and keeping you awake at night. Without clarity, in a situation, no one can see the other person’s true feelings or why they responded as they did.

Store Owner And Customers

If you have a store and someone says you sold them defective merchandise, try to satisfy the customer by exchanging the item. If you can Definity see that they broke the thing trying to assemble it, help them make it with a new part. Remember, the customer is always right; they will tell others quickly if you do not treat them. Help out your customers after the sale. Businesses told me the item was mine now, and I was alone. Luckily, I went to the store owner, who made it right. Business owners must have clarity with their customers to stay in business and have repeat customers. One time a man went to a car shop with a problem with his car, and they said here is the wrench. Fix it yourself. I felt sorry for the older man and knew they would never have pulled that with him if he had been younger. That car shop lost my business forever after I saw how they treated him.

Health Care And Clarity

Treating you fairly and with the utmost respect in a hospital would be best. A healthcare worker told me to clean up my mess when I was very ill. When she gets older, she will have clarity when treated the same or worse. Some people never have clarity when caring for others and never will unless they realize that they will be old and sick someday, and that is how they will want to be treated. They will wish for someone gentle, caring, compassionate, and kind to meet their needs. No one wants to be in a nursing home, care center, or a hospital, but it becomes necessary as we age, and we need people with great clarity to help us at our most vulnerable times. Old age comes to all, and time moves along very quickly. Care worker’s time keeps moving into the future, and you will be in a care center shortly. Remember The Golden Rule – do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

Things To Improve On

Thank People

Thank the people that have helped you out. Never take someone’s friendship for granted. Company is given and taken. To have a friend, you have to be a friend. Once a hateful word leaves your mouth, you cannot take it back because it is like a sped arrow lost in the dark. I had a friend of a friend yell at one of my friends, cursing him out for something he did not do. I felt terrible about the situation and apologized to my friend, who got cursed at for no good reason. Thank People, and never make a mountain out of a molehill because it will come back to bite you.

Be Kind And Considerate Of Other Peoples’s Feelings

Once feathers get ruffled, they never seem to lay back down the same way again. If you have a waitress working all by herself because the other workers did not show up to work, do not ask her where my food is or hurry up. She is doing her best and giving h, er an extra large tip because at least she came to work and served you. Please do not say things that hurt people and put them down, as there is plenty of negativity in the World already. Life people up and make their day and go the extra mile to help out others. Using curse words against someone in a conversation gives you no credibility. I don’t pay attention to one word they say to me since they cannot communicate in an educated or polite manner.

Be Grateful, Joyful, Peaceful, and Hopeful

Be grateful for what God has provided for you. Thank God for your many blessings every day. Bring joy into the lives of others and be hopeful and settle any differences peacefully. Take a friend out for a surprise lunch and make sure they have a joyful and memorable day to look back on. I hope things will improve, and do not dwell on negative thoughts. God brings joy, laughter, hope, peace, love, and much more into our lives. I am grateful to have God and good friends, family, and more in my life.

Never Make Anyone’s Life Miserable

If you see someone making a person’s life miserable, try to stop it. Never make fun of someone, for the next person that may be made fun of could be you. Always look at the whole picture in life, not just one little section. Never make someone cry or suffer for your wrongs. If you have wronged someone, make it suitable with them ASAP. Never go to bed with an angry heart. Forgive people, for we all make mistakes, stumble, and fall occasionally. God lifts people an,d gives us hope for a spiritual life in heaven. For God, you so loved the World that he gave his only son so that everyone who believes in him shall not perish but has eternal life. Put your best self out there for the World to see and enjoy being kind, helpful, and loving to those who cross your path in life. God bless you and help you improve on things in your life.

The Constant Complainer

Complaints On Workmanship

Some people want a job completed to complete perfection beyond what is possible. You cannot make an old house into a brand-new home. One man told me that his carpenter did too much of a good job. I guess he figured if the position was a horse, he would,ld have had to pay less money. people complain when you try to help them out, telling you they could have done it themselves when they can’t. I have learned that sometimes when you try to help someone out, you can never do it to their satisfaction, even if you do cartwheels. Sometimes it comes down to shooting the messenger, as you cannot win no matter what you do. I have been blessed by people who know what they are doing, and I congratulate them for a well-done job. Remember to thank people when they go beyond the call of duty to help you out. Do not be a constant complainer because no one will be willing to help you someday.

Restaurants And Food

One man ate his steak, and then he complained that the steak was no good. You cannot have your steak accessible and eat all of it to the last bite. People complain to the waitress that their order is taking too long. When they finally get their order, they do not leave their waitress an incredibly wrong tip. Your waitress had no control over what was happening in the kitchen. Restaurants want to satisfy all their customers so that they will have repeat and new customers, as word of mouth travels fast. Be polite and kind to your waitress when you tip her.

Why Did God Forsake Me?

God never forsakes us, even in our darkest days. Why did Jesus say My God, my God, why have you left me? Jesus died on the cross for our sins. Jesus was made a sin offering, and he died in our place, on our account. God placed the sins of the World on his son, which is why he felt he was forsaken. God was by his side until he took his last earthly breath. God is always by your side 24/7, and be grateful and thank God daily for your many blessings. Jesus suffered for our sins so that we will have everlasting life and be forgiven if we genuinely repent from our sinful ways. Jesus is in heaven. Every Christian’s first principal goal should be being in the Kingdom of Heaven.

Complaints From A To Z

If it was sunny, I could go outdoors and accomplish something today. If you genuinely want to get something done, the weather makes no difference unless it’s a raging blizzard, tornado, or another weather disaster. The dog ate my homework, yeah, right. I cannot make it today. Something else came up, and you would like to say it seems to come up constantly. I cannot pay my rent because I need a new wardrobe and you say don’t we all. Stop complaining, make your sunshine, do not ruin someone else’s day, and remember, if you cannot say anything nice, say nothing.

When We Have Clear Sailing Sometimes We Forget To Thank God

No Comments on When We Have Clear Sailing Sometimes We Forget To Thank God

When Things Are Going Well In Your Life

You might take your life for granted when traveling and enjoying yourself. You may have the perfect job and wonderful family life. God has made it possible for you to have smooth sailing days. You are truly blessed if you have good health, a roof over your head, food on your table, and a perfect family. When you say your prayers, thank God for your many blessings.

Friendships

I have been blessed to have smooth sailing with my friends. We get along fine, and we help each other out when needed. I have friends I have traveled with, and I will never forget all the beautiful times we spent together traveling in the USA and abroad. God has given us friends to cheer us on and brighten the darkest days. I had wonderful friends in school and college. Never forget to thank God for being your friend and giving you wonderful friends on earth.

Your Home

Your home can be your castle and a place of comfort to come home to after a long day at work. When your home is in good repair, you are not worried about your home. If your home has a water leak or electrical problems, you start worrying and get it repaired as soon as possible. If your relationship with God is not good, get it fixed as quickly as possible because, without his relationship, your days of smooth sailing will be over.

Calm Waters

Calm waters are a sailor’s dream, and rough waters are a sailor’s nightmare. When sailing on a quiet day, the sailor is relaxed and not on edge. The sailor is on edge when storms are coming, and the sail and mast are almost torn off the boat. If he is at sea at night, he looks for the lighthouse to guide him back safely to shore. He can find a place to anchor the boat and a room to rent until the waters are calm again. God takes the roughness out of the problems in our lives, and then we can be in clear waters again.

Rain And Drought

When we have enough rain, our crops and gardens produce an overabundance of food. The grass, flowers, and trees in your yard look fabulous, and many blossoms on your fruit trees. My raspberries produce enough berries so I can freeze some to enjoy in the dead of winter. I have a fantastic potato crop and enough green beans to freeze 17 quarts. When we have a drought, we are very concerned that we will not have a decent crop or anything to eat out of our garden. We pray to God to let it rain and know we should have prayed to thank him. We had abundant food when the skies opened up with excellent rain showers. Remember to always thank God even on clear sailing days, as he made those days possible in your life.

Lost And Found Again

Pets

If we cannot find our lost pet, we put up signs with the pet’s picture and name,e hoping some kind soul will find and return our dear pet to us. If no one does so, we may offer a reward for the safe return of our pet. Our pets are like family members to us, and we become very attached to them; when our pet is home again, we lavish it with hugs, his favorite treats, and some new toys. Having our dear pet sitting on our lap again or lying down next to us is lovely. We may cry or not be able to sleep at night until our pet is in our loving arms.

Lost Billfold

If we cannot find it, we look high and low for our billfold. We worry that someone may use our credit cards or other information that we may have in them. If we have our name on it, it may be returned to us. If credit cards or other cards are stolen, we call to cancel them as soon as possible. The money in the billfold may be needed for groceries or other necessities of life. We may have to borrow from someone until we get out next paycheck. When we find our billfold, we are relieved and feel like a weight has been lifted from our shoulders.

Lost Keys And Jewelry And More

I was frantically looking for the keys to my house one day. After looking for about one hour, I found them next to my cat’s litter box. I guess my cats wanted me to stay with them that day. Once, I saw my keys in my recliner as they had fallen into the side of my pocket. I lost a silver ring I never found again, but I still remember it. I lost a bracelet and looked for it all day, only to discover it had been attached to a string in my blue jeans pocket. I was happy about that. I lost a pager mowing the yard and found it attached to a branch in my evergreen tree, just like a Christmas tree ornament.

Lost People

God is pleased when one of his lost sheep returns home to the flock. God rejoices over one sinner coming home as that person will be in God’s community. If we truly repent our sins and do not keep repeating them, we have come home to God. We should praise God every day of our lives for the many blessings he has bestowed on us. We have the gift of eternal life in heaven, where pain and suffering are gone forever. God welcomes all sinners who have come back to him with open arms. Live your life as you know God wants to live it; love God and ask him to forgive your sins. If we live, we live for the Lord; if we die, we die for the Lord. Praise God for all he has given us in life and that death leads to eternal life with him in heaven.

Stay Connected

Hang Onto Friendships

Stay connected to friends by getting together often with them or by social media. I enjoy talking to friends on the telephone and asking them how they and their families are. It is lovely to have lifelong and trusted friends in your life. Remember, you have to be a friend to have a friend. If a friend is always there for you, you should be there for them. Many storms in our lives and our friends will make the stormy days tolerable. Friends bring out the sunshine in our lives and help build us up when we feel down. Good friends are hard to come by. Such nurture and grow your friendships. , As the old saying goes, friends are the flowers in the garden of life. We have to water our garden to make the flowers grow, and we have to love and be there for our friends to strengthen our friendships. Be the kind of friend that you want to attract. Be outgoing, caring, compassionate, and style to your friends. Don’t be afraid to go out of your way now and then to make your friends happy. Grow and genuinely appreciate all of your friends in your life.

Connected To God

I stay connected to God through my friendships with like-minded people. I listen to 3 church services on Sunday on Facebook, read daily devotions, read the Bible, and am a lay minister at my church. I visit with people at assisted living centers and people at Rest Homes. I enjoy talking to and reaching out to the elderly. I learn significantly from them, and they genuinely appreciate my friendship. I pray to God to help my friends and family who need God’s healing touch. I go to church services on vacation and like hearing the minister’s sermons. I thank God every night for the many blessings he has bestowed upon me. I thank him for friends and family, both near and far, who have supported me through life challenges. I ask God to support, heal and help my suffering family or friends to take their pain away and make them well again.

Attachments

We stay connected to attachments. Attachment is an affection or fondness for someone or something. We form attachments to people, animals, and places we have been. We are loyal, close, and devoted to our attachments. We may be attached to the home we grew up in or some favorite toy we had as a child. We are connected to God as he is our savior and our redeemer. God is always there for me. Even on my darkest days, he can bring out the sunshine in me. We will have attachments to God, things, and people and must put them in perspective. Your attachment to God should be at the top of your list, for without God, you will always be adrift in the sea of life. God is your anchor and your lighthouse in life.

Visibility

State Of Visibility

The state of visibility is the state of being able to see or be seen. If we cannot see due to visibility in bad weather, we slow down and have our fog lights on such other drivers can visit us to avoid a horrible accident. In a blizzard, we try to stay home, or if we are out and about, we drive with extreme caution or pull over on the side of the road and put our flashers on. I went into a farm driveway in a bad rain storm and parked my car under trees until I could finally see again. Without clear visibility, we cannot move forward confidently and are at a standstill. Fog horns sound on boats and lighthouses lead ships back to shore safely.

Visibility And People

Do you make a spectacle of yourself in a crowd so you will be seen or noticed? I hope you do not do so. It is better to be noticed or seen acting like your usual self than to make a spectacle of yourself. In a lifelong learning class, one lady always came to class late and walked up to the front so everyone would notice her. If that did not work, she disrupted our teacher, so the whole class and the teacher would be sure to see her 100 percent of the time. One time she announced that she had to use the restroom, and she walked out of the door by the teacher instead of out of the back door. The right people will notice you at the right moment without making a spectacle of yourself or disrupting other people. Be yourself, and people will see you on your own merits. Remember, no one is ever better than anyone else, as we are all God’s children in the World.

God And Visibility

I hope that God has attracted your public attention and prominence. God is visible to all of his followers every day of their lives. His invisible things of him are seen in the World. We see the sun, moon, flowers, and all of nature. Make yourself more visible to God by following his teachings and appreciating the many things and blessings he has given you on Earth. Help be one of God’ss humility by letting God take charge of your life; whatever we cannot d,o he will help us. Humble yourself, give love, and forgive others so they might forgive you. Bless others, and they may bless you. Praise God daily and thank him for all he has given you. Let the light of God shine out of you into others people’s lives in an uplifting, caring, and loving way. God glorifies us; he shares his glory with us; he gives us a new and everlasting body and imparts inward beauty. Never lose your visibility with God. Keep him in your heart and soul every day you breathe on Earth.

Dependability

Things You Can Depend On

We can always depend on God to be there through thick and thin. We can rely on good friends to help us when we need them the most. Everything has a beginning and an end. If you have a favorite mechanic, you can depend on him to fix your car so that it will run smoothly as silk. I have an excellent roofing company that I have grown to rely on for all of my roofing repairs. I have had the same carpenter for 24 years, he is perfect, and everything gets repaired promptly. I have an old GE refrigerator from 1952 that keeps the food as cold as the day it was brand new. It has outlasted four new refrigerators that I purchased for my home. I have an old General Mills toaster that toasts my bread to perfection, made in 1949. I have old blenders, coffee makers, mixers, and other small appliances that have kept the test of time.

Dependability Is Hard To Come By Today

I had an old stove that lasted 16 years before the Motherboard went terribly. When I purchased my new stove, they told me I would be lucky if it lasted eight years and cost twice as much as my old stove. New Hybrid cars will need new batteries in 7 to 10 years, and those batteries are $7000.00. So many things have a Motherboard in them, and when it stops working, it costs about half of what you paid for the item to replace it. When the Motherboard went on my washing machine, which was six years old, I purchased a new one. Old washing machines would last 20 years, and clothes dryers would last 30 years. Sadly, those days are way behind us. We live in a throwaway society today, which is very sad as we are filling up our landfills quickly. We should build things to last once again and get dependability back in the picture. Replacement parts are made with more and more plastic, and you need another replacement part soon. Stihl power tools are built to last.

Trying To Hire Someone And Get Them To Show Up And Complete Your Job At Hand

I have tried calling people repeatedly to do something for me. Most of them do not answer their phones, so I leave a message for them to get back to me. One man said he would come to my house on a particular day and time but never did. My time is as valuable as theirs, and I do not care to wait for anyone all day. I am persistent up to a point, and then I will call someone else to complete the job. Some repairmen come with no parts even if you tell them what you need so they can add on an extra trip charge. I refused to pay them for the extra trip since they did not bring the part with them, to begin with. Finding dependable people to start and finish the job to your satisfaction is very difficult. People you hire should put themselves in your place and do the work they want to do in their homes. Sometimes I repair work myself since I cannot get people to keep their appts. Good luck with all of your repair work. Ask your neighbors, friends, and others for dependable workers to get your jobs done to your satisfaction.

The Enabler

Not Stopping Bad Behavior

Do you enable bad behavior by not stopping it or just ignoring it? If someone acts out in an inappropriate way, you should tell them and try to help them cope with the problem appropriately. Foul language shows a lack of intelligence for a better word. There is never a need to say four-letter words as they do not show any sign of spying on your part. Any fool can use foul language, but it takes someone with intelligence to use a better word that will have more meaning and be much more effective in making your point. I would fire someone that said foul language to my customers in my store. I would walk out of a business where it was alright for the employees to use offensive and uncouth language. If you see someone take something, tell them they have something not yet paid and see if they will make it right. If your child takes something from a friend’s house, store, or school,l tell him to apologize and return it to its rightful owner. If you do not correct lousy behavior quickly, it will become a severe crime later in life.

If Someone Has An Addiction

If you know someone with an eating disorder and leave their favorite foods in front of them, you are enabling them and harming their overall health. Anyone with an addiction needs counseling and a loving and caring family that will listen to them and not Judge them and help them with their daily struggles to stop their addiction. If someone you know is an alcoholic, do not drink liquor before them, as that is cruel and certainly will not help them. Any habit will need counseling and loving family and friends to help you stop your addiction before it stops you and possibly takes your life.

Do Not Enable People To Do The Wrong Thing

If someone is not punished for an evil act or crime, they will think they got away with it and move on to something more lucrative and will be more of a danger to society. Kids that play video games where they kill people are more prone to kill living people in real life. Please keep track of young children and monitor what they watch and do on the internet, as you want your children to grow up to be outstanding citizens who will make a positive and good impression on the world.

God And The Devil

God knows that we are not perfect by any means, and he will forgive us for our sins if we truly repent. God wants us to do the right thing and tries to lead us down the right path if we listen to his direction. The devil likes it if we run amuck and we do not care what our actions do in the lives of others, as he will have another follower. Stay away from the devil, for he will smash you into the ground just like a pebble. God is my redeemer, always there for me to keep me on the right path in my life that leads to salvation.

When A Veil Of Sorrow Falls Over You

Post author By Laura Weers
Post date August 19, 2022
No Comments on When A Veil Of Sorrow Falls Over You

When Someone You Love Has Life-Changing Events

It bothers us greatly when someone we love has health problems or is no longer the person they used to be because of health problems. We try to help them and comfort them the best that we can. Unfortunately, humans cannot allow our loved ones to overcome high hurdles. It is easy to let yourself be taken over by a veil of sorrow. We must remember to place our worries and concerns in God’s hands, for he knows what our loved ones need at this juncture. Call on your friend or family often and let them know that you love them and that they are in your thoughts and prayers.

When A Loved One Dies

A veil of sorrow will fall over you for a long time. You miss your Dear one greatly and do not know how you will survive without them by your side anymore. I miss my parents and dear friends that have gone on before me, and I will always cling to the beautiful memories we made together. A TV program may remind me of a particular event, and then I will cry. I love my Dear ones immensely, and when they are upset or hurt, I am greatly upset or hurt. Death will come to all of us eventually. Death is a part of life; if we repent from our sins, we will be with God and his angels in heaven. Death can be your enemy when you are young and your friend when you are old. If you are in constant pain or not in your right mind, death is your friend, for certain things are worse than death. We all have time to be born and time to die, and God will help us make the journey as smooth as possible.

Sometimes If Certain Music Is Played Or We See Something, A Veil Of Sorrow Overtakes Us

A loved one’s birthday without them here anymore can make one cry. If you are married, your spouse has died, and you hear your song playing on the radio, you may break down for a while. Returning to the family farm and seeing it look different than you remember can be heart-wrenching, especially if all of the buildings are in a bad state of repair. Looking at old family pictures and remembering your good times together can upset one, knowing you will never live those good times again.

Life Is Full of Change

We must remember when some doors are closed forever, others will open eventually. Life and death go together, for we cannot have one without another. We cannot replace any of our friends who have passed on, but we can make some new friends if we try to do so. Please do not live in a veil of sorrow, for it will envelop and consume you. God knows that we will mourn our loved ones, but he wants us to live on and help each other in life’s journey until we take our last breath on earth and are with our savior again.
