When Things Start To Topple Over In Your Life

No Comments on When Things Start To Topple Over In Your Life

Keep Your Life In Balance

Do not over-extend yourself. Set realistic goals to accomplish in one day. After all, Rome was not built in one day. If you have a long list of things to complete, cut the list in half and do the other things the next day. If you feel overwhelmed, you will not get much done today. Take time to relax during your day. If you keep up a steady pace all day, you will be completely worn out the next day. Remember, the turtle won the race, and the hare came in second. Slow and steady wins the race every time. Take time to exercise at a leisurely pace every day. Get together with friends often and put a smile on each other’s faces. Know your priorities and get those done at the start of your day. Do the easier task at the end of your day. Make time for yourself in the day and learn to say no because you have to take care of yourself and defend your boundaries.

Get Rid Of Some Of The Things That Stress You Out In Your Life

If you have a house that needs constant repair, get rid of it and buy another home you can afford. If you own a car that never seems to take you from point A to point B, sell it and replace it with a dependable vehicle. If you own any machine breaking down regularly, try to replace it with a newer model. Constant stress takes a toll on your body and will rid you of good years that you could have had without all the stress. Do not dwell on what could have been as it is in the past, and you cannot change the outcome. Do not keep reliving some horrible event, as that will rob you of your future and what could have been a wonderful and rewarding day. Do not let other people control you, as only you know what you can physically get accomplished in one day.

Keep God And Good Friends By Your Side

When you are feeling stressed, talk about it with a trusted friend who can offer sound advice on relieving you of some of the stress in your life. Two heads are better than one when coming up with an excellent solution to a problem. Pray to God daily to guide you in your life. With God’s guidance, you should be able to remove some of the stress in your life. Tell God your problems in your prayers, and he will help you devise a solution in his time frame to help you feel that you will not topple over in your life. Your life will not topple over if you have faith, balance, and less stress. God, thank you for helping me keep balance in my life.

Life Is Full of Mistakes

Life Is Full Of Mistakes

Actions Speak Louder Than Words

Do you do the opposite of what you say you will do? People Judge you by your actions. If you want people to treat you with the utmost respect, treat them with the utmost care. If you say you will help someone with something, you better do it. People soon learn they cannot count on you if you do not allow them when needed. Someday you will need help, and I know you will want people to show up on time to help you out. Always remember to pass it forward. If someone helps you or buys food, do it for someone else. If your actions today did not represent you well, make sure that your actions tomorrow do.

Mistakes Occur Constantly In Life

I hope you learn from your mistakes and do not repeat them. If you made a mistake adding a bill and it is in your favor, go back to the person you short-changed and give him the money due to him. Tell him you made a mistake and are sorry for any inconvenience caused him. When you make a mistake, fix it immediately and be apologetic. If you hit someone when you were trying to put your coat on because they were standing close to you, apologize. If you break merchandise in a store, offer to pay for what you broke and tell them you did not do it on purpose and that it was an accident. We may make a mistake when we are supposed to have an appointment with someone. Call them, tell them you did not get the time right, and let them set the time and date for the next meeting.

Kids And Mistakes

You may make a mistake in playing a board game that you never played before. Different games have different rules, and it takes a while to get used to the other regulations for the other games, and lots of mistakes will be made. Remember to train your children not to make fun of the younger children just because they do not know how to play games or have all the answers to daily problems. We all learn something new every day, and no one on earth has all the answers, no matter how smart they are.

God And Mistakes

God knows we are not perfect by any means. God tries to lead us in the right direction in life. Some of us drift off the path, and others seem to make their path. If you get on the wrong way, ask God to help you get back on the right track quickly. God is my lighthouse and my anchor in life. Jesus died for our sins because all of us make mistakes in life.

Why Do We Collect Things ?

Post author By Laura Weers

No Comments on Why Do We Collect Things ?

Children’s Collections

Most young children have a rock collection or shell collection. Children are attracted to bright shiny objects and small items that they can take with them easily. A child will pick up any rock that is of interest to them, As a child grows older, they get pickier about the stone they pick out. Sea shells are easy to pick up and do not weigh much. Your child is interested in the different shapes of the bodies and will ask you how they were formed. Some children have a kid’s book collection, dolls, toy cars, electronic games, comic books, leaves, stuffed animals, and so much more that they collect. Children are drawn to things they see in stores or nature. A child will soon start collecting things that pique their interest.

Adult Collections

Some people may have a shed of antique cars, trucks, etc. Coin collections might grow in value if you acarefully pick out coins with no flaws. Women may have fancy shoes, purses, and designer clothing adorning their closets. Men may buy a fancy old plane or boat that they use on weekends.

We Collect Things That Piqued Our Interest Years Ago

If we had a small toy car we loved as a child, we might buy a large version of it as an adult. If we could not afford to buy what we wanted years ago, we may purchase it now that we are older and have the money to do so. Some women buy lavish jewelry. I think fabulous jewelry is a total waste of money. Some men may buy a Rolex watch or some other fancy timepiece. If you notice a particular old toy you had as a child in a store, you may purchase it because it brings back fond memories of a carefree, happy-go-lucky time in your life. Maybe you liked a famous painting by a particular artist years ago, and now have an art collection of his most famous paintings.

You May Add To An Inherited Collection

If you inherited a collection of bells, salt and pepper shakers, spoons, or something else, you add to that collection if you like it. I had a spoon, salt, pepper, and a toy car collection. I have sold my readers. Some people have to buy two of everything. I have read that people that have two of everything have a fear of being alone. Collect everything in moderation. After all, too much of anything looks horrible and disorderly. Don’t go to every garage sale or auction to buy something to add to a collection that is turning into an addiction or hoarding problem. Remember to be very picky about what you collect so you will not have too many as the collection will overpower your home, and your home will look cluttered, and no one will appreciate your collection.

Think Positive Thoughts

Look For The Good In Things

Sometimes it is tough to see the good in things. If you have an illness or a disease, do not let it define and overpower you. Think of what you can still do and accomplish with your condition. You may have to hire more things done because you can no longer do them psychically. You now have time to pursue some of the hobbies you have put on the back burner for years. Please talk about your illness with other people and see what they do to stay happy. If you think of your disease as a death sentence, it will become a death sentence much sooner than if you had not dwelled on it night and day. Educate others about your illness and help them instead of concentrating on yourself. I love the song I heard years ago, and my Mother said never forget the words in that song. The piece said nothing would break my stride; I must keep moving now. I never realized at the time how powerful the words in that song would be in my life to keep me happy. I try not to let things break my stride and keep moving forward. Life is too precious not to enjoy every single moment of it. I have more places to see and more things to do, and I intend to accomplish my goals. God is my beacon in the night and guiding light to keep moving and spreading God’s good works.

One Problem After The Other

Problems can be solved relatively soon if you get on them right away. It is hard to have positive thoughts if you let issues build up and never address them. Keep on top of your life, so a snowball does not become an avalanche. You’re mistaken if you think a problem will suddenly disappear because you ignore it. Tell yourself that you will solve at least one problem today when you get up in the morning. If you keep solving the problems, you will begin to see life in a positive light. If you think you are beaten, you will be destroyed. Tell yourself that you can win and will likely succeed in what you set out to do in life.

What is Your Domain ?

What Is Your Domain?

What Does Your Domain Say About You?

Your domain name represents what your business has to offer people. Your domain makes your business or breaks your business. Be very careful what you write on your website. Do not use foul language or offer services that you cannot provide. Your domain name makes your business look credible. Tell people why they should take time to read what you put on your website. Your domain name says volumes about you. Your domain name should say what interests and excites you about your business. Include pictures and videos of what you sell in your business on your website, as people are drawn to images and videos. If an image is inappropriate for young people to see, do not post it anywhere. Domain names tell people what is unique and how you can help others with your knowledge and business skills.

What If You Had A Domain Name That Represented You As A Person

What name would you give yourself, as there would be many choices? What would you call yourself on your website – wise, kind, caring, loving, joyful, peaceful, comfortable, or giving? I hope you would not have to say selfish, non-forgiving, know it, money lover, or that you were a non-caring person. You may say you are thoughtful of others’ needs and put them before yours. You may say you collect cars or have an extensive rock collection. What do you genuinely think you would name a website that represented you to the world? I hope you will give the domain name much thought and make it as accurate as possible. What domain name would God bless you regarding how you act as a child of God? Your domain name speaks volumes about your actions and deeds.

The Government Has Eminent Domain Over Land And Hi – Ways

If you own a piece of land they want to make a significant Hi-Way, the Government will declare eminent domain if you do not sell it to them for the price they offered. You may be able to get more if you find out what your neighbors are getting for their land. We genuinely do not own land, as we are stewards of the land. I hope you do not have to sell your land or house because of eminent domain.

Gods Domain

It is the entire heaven, earth, and universe. God Bless you every day.

Struggles People Endure

Job-Related Problems

You may have to work with someone constantly criticizing your work daily. Your job could be more than you can handle psychically. Some people you work with might be getting paid much more than you are for the same kind of work. On a job site, two men had to lift a 600-pound door, and they permanently ended up with back damage. A woman told me she was required to lift 100 pounds daily, and she has terrible arthritis everyday day now in her old age. Some jobs demand more of a person than even a very young person could do what they want you to do. Try to find a position where the employers do not demand more of you than anyone could do alone. Hopefully, you will find your dream job and do something that you love to do that will help you and others.

Family Issues

Some people grow up in families constantly arguing about all kinds of things day and night. They may say about how to raise the kids, or they may not pay enough attention to their kids. Children need endless love, concentration, and discipline if they do something they know is wrong. A family may argue over who gets paid more, and they may become jealous that their spouse is getting paid more than they are. I was blessed to be raised by excellent, loving, and caring parents.

People Who Have Health Issues

If you have lost limbs, you must struggle to prepare in the morning, and daily tasks become much more challenging. Cancer patients must work with chemo treatments and go back and forth to the Doctor. Cancer patients struggle to do family activities as they are worn out from chemo and cancer and its effects on their bodies. My Mother and several friends died of ALS. ALS is a devastating disease that destroys your whole body except your mind. ALS patients do not send synapses to their nerves. Therefore, their muscles waste away, causing death in 5 years or less in most ALS patients. Never judge someone that is sick because you have no idea whatsoever of what they en-dour every single day of their life.

Hunger and Housing

Many people worldwide go to bed hungry at night or cold because they do not have a roof over their heads. People sleep in cardboard boxes, abandoned buildings, freight cars, or wrapped up in blankets. If you see a hungry person, offer to take them to a restaurant and feed them. If you have any food with you at all, give it to them. People need affordable housing as no one should have to be homeless. As good stewards, we should do what Jesus did and always help the hungry, poor, oppressed, and anyone who needs a helping hand to get through their struggles in life.

The World Is Full Of Music If You Just Listen To The Notes

Post author By Laura Weers
Post date July 9, 2021
No Comments on The World Is Full Of Music If You Just Listen To The Notes

The Notes In Nature

The gentle pitter-patter of rain falling has its rhythm. A soft, gentle rain is like listening to classical music. When the rain has loud claps of thunder and lightning bolts that light up the skies, it’s like listening to complex rock music; birds have all kinds of chirps, such as soft, gentle little chirps to the sharp sound of the majestic eagles call. Morning doves make a cooing noise which is called a wing whistle. The claps of the ocean waves are alive with the sounds of music. The ocean sounds are like a complete orchestra out on the water. Small little streams make a rippling noise as the water moves along slowly. The mooing of a cow or the baa of a sheep has its notes if you listen to them. A cat’s meow or purr is very musical. A Siamese cat can sound like a baby, and a Maine Coon cat can chirp. People’s voices can be very musical. It can be very relaxing to listen to the gentle, comforting voice. If someone yells or screams at you, it sets your nerves on fire, such as loud overpowering music. Whales make calls to each other that echo through the water. Dolphins communicate as they send out different tones and sounds to each other that help them find food or warn them of danger. Gorillas will beat their chest as it makes a noise similar to drums. Take time to listen to the notes in nature, and you will soon realize that the World is truly musical.

Motor Vehicles

Listen to the motor on your car today, and you will hear it hum away. Depending on the engine in your vehicle, you will listen to a soft or throaty hum. All kinds of emergency vehicles make different sounds so we can quickly identify them. You can hear the backup bell ding on a gravel truck. Listen to the sound your airplane makes next time you vacation. It has a loud noise when you are taking off, and then it has a gentle purr when it is on automatic pilot. Steam engines have a hissing noise as the steam is released. The old train engines chug down the tracks. The new diesel trains have a distinct sound, and you cannot miss the noise it makes as it approaches a railroad crossing. You can hear your ‘motorboat notes as it breaks the waves of the water. Motorcycles can be very quiet or so noisy that you can hardly hear yourself think. Some people will drill a hole in the muffler to make it sound loud.

It Is A Musical World

Swinging in a swing set makes a creaking noise as you turn back and forth. Children’s voices are music to your ears. As we type away, the keyboard becomes a musical instrument providing valuable information for others. God made music in the World we must listen to and appreciate daily. God bless you with music in your heart and your soul.

Your Most Important Relationship Is Your Relationship With God

Post author By Laura Weers
Post date July 2, 2021
No Comments on Your Most Important Relationship Is Your Relationship With God

Your Relationship With God

Your relationship with God will impact your relationships with others. If you do not have a close relationship with God, you will never have a solid or intimate relationship with others. How to keep an excellent relationship with God.

Read your Bible
Pray
Obey
Serve
Gratitude

By reading your bible, you form a closer and more meaningful relationship with God. Pray without ceasing; as you know, God will answer your prayers in his time frame. Obey the ten commandments as it is not called the ten suggestions. Serve others with a grateful and caring heart. Have gratitude for all that God has given you.

Family Relationships

Do not get in fights with your family members. Some families have broken apart when a parent dies because they felt cheated out of some inheritance. If your parent were still alive, would they be pleased with your behavior? I think not. When a parent dies, they are required to give anyone money or property when they pass on. Some people feel entitled to inheritance. People are not entitled to anything when someone passes on. Get along with your brothers and sisters. Get along with your cousins. You will have many regrets later in life if you fight with family members on trivial matters in the scheme of things.

Acquaintances

How you treat others says volumes about yourself. Treat all acquaintances with the respect they deserve. Treat them fairly and kindly. Be friendly to your co-workers and get to know them. Take the people you work with out for lunch or coffee. Praise your employees for a job well done. Workers treat the business where they are working as if it was their own business. Do not show up late to work or take the day off just because you feel like it. Put yourself in your employer’s shoes. Be grateful for your job, employer, and co-workers. How you perform on your job says how you act as a person.

Marriage

Treat your husband or wife with the utmost respect. Never yell at or threaten each other. Keep your marriage vows as they are between you and God. Treat your spouse as you want your spouse to treat you. Praise each other, and be caring, kind, compassionate, loving, hopeful, joyful, and peaceful. Be kind to your children and never threaten or hurt them. It is better to have a millstone tied around your neck and drown than to harm one of God’s little ones in any way. Children are a gift from God; you should cherish and protect your little ones at all costs. Ensure your children form a long-lasting and beautiful relationship with God. Encourage them to read the bible and keep the Lord’s day holy. Have your children say their bedside prayers before they go to bed at night. Take your children to church, as children do learn from examples. Your marriage vows were given before God. God is part of your marriage and all of your relationships with others. Make sure you see God shining through in your relationships with others every day.

The Beauty In Life

Natures Animals

Baby animals are lovely and cute through and through. Nothing is more beautiful than newborn animals. The baby lamb next to its Mother as it walks for the very first time on its wiggly wobbly legs until it is running, dancing, and leaping around has a beautiful beauty. The newborn calf beside its Mother is nursing with its Mother gently licking its clean. The baby kitten with its eyes not yet open to looking the World over. Newborn animals are a gift from God for continued life on earth, and they are a breath of fresh air as a new season is upon us. Animals were put on earth for us to enjoy, and we have dominion over the animals and fish of the sea.

We are to treat animals kindly and humanely. Never kill animals unless you intend to eat them. There is no sport in killing an animal and letting it rot away. Life is too precious not to treat all forms of life fairly and humanely. Be kind and help an injured or harmed animal if possible. Try to avoid running over an animal with your car if you will not cause an accident by doing so. Pets and animals are much more intelligent than we give them credit for. Spring is in the air for the birth of a new generation of animals for us to enjoy their great beauty. We will see baby birds in the nest, and their parents will work diligently, bringing worms around to sustain their bodies. Baby chickens will be hatching from their eggs, chirping away, and their Father will be crowing to announce the upcoming beauty of a new day on earth for all of God’s creatures to enjoy.

Majestic Beauty

I love looking at all of the mountains that the World has. The Grand beauty of the crevices, colors, and formations the rocks have is outstanding beyond belief. I think about how many years it took of erosion and water moving through and around the stones to carve out that exceptional beauty. I love the snow on the mountain peaks as it highlights the mountains just right. The pine trees in the mountains are tall and grand and filled with birds of various kinds. The Grand Canyon is awesome to behold. It took years to carve away the size, depth, and area of the Grand Canyon. When you look down into the canyon, you realize and appreciate how old the earth is, and it still has a lot of beauty in it for us to enjoy forever if a man does not destroy it in his quest for more and more money as money truly is the root of all evil. I love the Swiss Alps, The Flat Irons in Boulder, Colorado, The Grand Teton National Park, and mountain ranges.

Beauty In People

Some people have outstanding inner beauty as they are kind, compassionate, and caring. Good people help you in good and bad times and never leave your side, even when your boat appears to be sinking. The good people offer you a raft or a lifeline to get back on solid ground again, as all other ground is sinking sand. A true friend knows when you need them to listen to you, and they will, and they will offer you sound and valuable advice. Friends are your cheerleaders; they believe you will succeed and are constantly rooting for success in all you wish to accomplish. God is your ultimate cheerleader in life, and he wants you to follow and worship him all the days of your life, which will give you the ultimate goal of having God by your side into eternity.

Production

Making A Mountain Out Of A Mole Hill

Some people make a big production out of the most minor of incidents. Life is way too short to get worked up over a minor problem that can be solved shortly if you keep a cool head. Delays will be bound to happen now and then. Most people do not like delays any more than you do. Before you get angry over someone being late, first find out why they are late. If they had a family emergency, the last thing they need is for you to lose your cool because they were running late. Life will be full of mishaps and disappointments, so do not make a big production from a glass of spilled milk. After all, you can buy more milk. If you get a flat tire on the way to work, remember you can always fix it. If someone holds you up in traffic, keep your cool, as you have no idea why or what caused the delay. Please do not get out of your car and start yelling at someone or hurting them. Remember, you may hold up traffic someday; that is how you want to be treated. Remember not to gossip, as that makes a production out of a molehill once the story gets twisted around and around several times over. If you cannot say anything nice about someone, do not say anything.

Theater Productions

If everyone remembers their lines, the production goes off without a hitch. I once went to a play in a storm, and all the lights went off. Luckily they came back on quickly, and I thoroughly enjoyed the space. It takes a lot of time and effort on people’s part to have a perfect area. They need costume designers, set makers, actors and actresses, and many dress reversals. God lets us have dress reversals in life as he forgives us for our sins if we do not keep repeating them.

Gods Production Workers

Assembly line workers must keep the production of new products moving along. Each worker has a specific job to support the show moving along steadily and quickly. We are God’s production workers. We all are created to spread God’s good works and make the world a better place for us having been here. We are stewards of the land, animals, and fish. We are to keep a clean planet for future generations of humans and animals. We do not own land on Earth. We are stewards of the land while we are on the ground. Be a good steward and do your part to keep Earth safe and clean. If you cut a tree down, plant a new one to take its place. If you make a mess, clean it up as a gift to God to show him that you love him and you are one of his good shepherds.
