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.

Illumination

Illumination Is Within Reach

Illumination is not very far away at all times in our lives. Some of us choose to stumble around in the dark even though the light switch is just around the corner. When a disaster strikes, we keep saying why me? We should think disaster and storms are coming to all of us, and why can’t we help each other? We all concentrate too much on all the problems in our lives. Sickness comes to all of us, and we must find the light switch quickly and turn it on. When someone very close to us dies, we want to blame someone for taking them away from us too soon. We may blame their Doctor or God for taking them away from us. God never takes someone away from us. Naturally, some live to be very old while others die very young.

Always Look For Illumination In Your Life

There is enough darkness in the world without looking for it or letting it take over your life. The Devil loves it when you let the night settle in your life, for he is darkness and leads to the destruction of your inner being or soul. God’s light is in you, and it shines brightly when you help others. Let God’s light lead you in a direction in your life that will help as many people as possible. As one of God’s good stewards, you can leave the world a better place for you being a part of it.

Lights

Flashlights light our path so we will not stumble and fall. Car lights help keep us on the road safely at night. Lighthouses keep ships safe and lead them to safe harbors. Stop lights keep us from having collisions and taking turns in an orderly fashion. Railroad flashing lights warn us of an oncoming train. We have lights on at night to keep thieves away. We have lights that safely light our path so we will not stumble and fall. If you do not have the light of God in your soul and all that you set out to do in your life, you are doomed to failure in this world and the next.

God Is My Illumination

God is a lamp on my feet and a light on my path. Psalm 119:105. When it is dark, we are unsure where to place our feet at night, but God knows exactly where to put them so that we will be safe on our journey. The road to heaven has lights that are the brightest and most vivid colors you could ever imagine. The reds and oranges are intense and dance with their intense color. Always look to the light to lead you to great things. Darkness only brings gloom and doom into your life and the lives of others, and darkness destroys good. God will be my illumination every day, and ” This little light of mine I am going to let it shine let it shine” is an excellent religious song. Let your light shine today and always.

Treated Unfairly

If You Feel A Business Has Treated You Unfairly

If you have a problem with a business, tell the owner about it ASAP. Most business owners will be more than happy to help you with a problem that you have had with their product or service. If I have received cold food at a restaurant, tell them about it, and they will offer you another hot plate of food at a discounted price for your inconvenience. Never sit and stew about being mistreated or trash a business because of one little occurrence you have had there. You’re mistaken if you did not mention the problem to them and assume they are mind readers. Businesses want happy customers that will return to them in the future and customers that will tell their friends to come to their business. Repeat customers keep business doors open.

Has A Person mistreated You?

If you have been mistreated, confront the person and tell them how they made you feel. If they laughed and made fun of you, ask them why they did that to you or how they would feel if the shoe was on the other foot. Have you been judged incorrectly? If so, stand up for yourself and defend against their false accusation. There is nothing worse than being accused of something you did not do. One morning someone could not find something, and they accused me of taking it and found it in their purse in an envelope later in the morning. I did not even get an apology from them. Never accuse someone unfairly, as they will never forget it.

Do Your Coworkers mistreat You?

Do you get all the jobs others do not want where you work? If you have to scrub the floors and clean the toilet constantly, complain. Tell the other employees it is only fair for everyone to clean the bathroom and the feet. Now you can do the job you were hired to do, which makes for a happy work environment. Your coworkers will know they cannot pull the wool over your eyes and get away with it.

Has A Teacher Or Student mistreated You?

If you are young, tell your parents your teacher misjudges you. Has your teacher let the other students pick on you and done nothing to stop it? Tell your parents, and they will talk to the school principal about the teacher mistreating you. If you have a teacher who treats you like the class clown and you are older, confront him. Some teachers and students will zoom in on a student that they deem weak and defenseless. Teachers and students like this need to be stopped in their tracks. I have had teachers punish me for things I never did, and I do not like anyone to be mistreated or judged unfairly. God is the only Judge of man.

Take Time To Talk To People

No Comments on Take Time To Talk To People

Call Someone And Visit With Them Today

Talking to someone who cares about you can calm and relax you. You can discuss your day’s activities with someone and ask them how their day went. You can always talk about the weather or newsworthy items. What one person might not remember, the other person may place in great detail, and you can compare notes on recent events. Talking to friends lets them know you love them and are concerned for their well-being. Remember to always speak to your elders respectfully and listen to what they say, as you will learn a great deal from them.

Put Your Computer Away for One Day

Go outdoors for a walk with friends or family and enjoy each other’s company. You will soon see what you have missed by having your eyes and mind set on computer games, social media, and so much more. Get out and enjoy nature and indeed visit with someone. Conversation with people seems to be a lost art. I have a friend who went to a family gathering, and her nephew and niece would not even talk to her when he asked them about things they enjoy doing. They walked off with their smartphones in hand, and she never saw them the rest of the day. That is very disrespectful behavior. Parents should tell their kids to put their smartphones away, visit with their family at family gatherings, and respond to anyone they know that talks to them.

Talking And Laughter Are The Best Medicine

When you visit with someone, you can get them to laugh and put them in a better frame of mind. By having a one-on-one conversation, you can see the other person’s facial expressions and not much, just from facial words about their feelings. Tune into other people by asking them about their family life and what they do for a living. The conversation does matter a great deal. One conversation can sink a ship or let it sail around the world. Without discussion, we would not have laws, learn from our elders, or learn from those that came before us. Books would not be published if you never reached out to publishers and made the corrections they told you to make to publish your book.

Start A Conversation With A Stranger

I have visited with people that set next to me on an airline flight. They have told me about the business that they are in and all about their family members. I have told people in conversation with them that I write about travel, cats, and inspirations with Laura, and we have exchanged business cards with each other. I follow some of them on my Facebook account, and they have followed me back. Talk to and connect with people, and see how much you have in common with them. You will make long-lasting friendships with some people you meet on life’s Hi-Way. God bless you as you talk to people and learn from them and help each other by talking with them and helping them solve some of life’s bumps in the road.

Waiting

All of us have to wait for things in our daily lives. Some of us get impatient quickly and tend to blow a fuse; good things come to those who wait, as the old saying goes. Sometimes if we wait too long for something, the lifetime opportunity passes us by. God wants us to use our minutes on earth productively to enhance the lives of others and teach each other the knowledge that we have learned in our daily lives. Never let someone try to rob you of your time with God, for that is your most precious gift.

I wouldn’t say I like waiting for a long train, and I tend to turn around and find a road I can get through. Waiting in long lines for something gets tiring, especially if it is hot or cold. One time I had to stay at a doctor’s. Office all day from 6 AM till 4 PM when I finally got in. The Doctor had an emergency, but no one informed me about it. Some people think it is OK to come to a business when they are about to lock their doors for the day. I am punctual, so no one has to wait for me.

When you make someone wait for you, you are controlling them. Never wait for anyone over ten minutes unless they call you with a valid reason why you must wait. Waiting takes time off of your life when you could have accomplished many things in the time that was stolen from your life by waiting around. Respect others, and never expect them to wait around for you. Their time is no less valuable than your time is to you.

Time is a precious gift, so use it wisely and do not rob time from others by making them wait needlessly. We have to wait for many things in our life, but I refuse to wait for the things I genuinely do not have to do. There are only 24 hrs. in the day. I want to make the best of all those 24 hrs. I finish my work early, so I can take it easy and relax later in the day.

Waiting for the perfect picture or waiting to catch a big fish is relaxing. Waiting for test results is never relaxing, as you are on pins and needles. Waiting to hear about test results from a medical procedure is very nerve-racking. I do not think we genuinely like to stay for things unless it is something good to look forward to. I do not mind waiting for a planned vacation next year, an upcoming day trip, or eating out. Sometimes we have to grin and bear it as we have no alternative but to wait.

We will have to wait a good percentage of our lives for things. The average person spends six months in line for appointments and much more. On average, we spend 43 days of our life waiting on automated calls for customer service and more. If you are stuck in a traffic jam, make the best of it. While waiting for the traffic to clear, listen to music, call a friend, and relax. Remember, other people have to wait just like you. Be kind and considerate, and do not be rude or unruly just because you have to wait in traffic. Respect and be kind to others.

Your Outlook On Life

How Do You See Your Life?

Do you see your life in a good or bad light? All of our lives will have dark spots in them now and then. We will have disappointments, sicknesses, the death of a loved one, and much more over our lifetimes. I like to look at my life in a positive sense. You can accomplish many things in your life if you put your heart and soul into achieving the goals you have set for yourself.

Look For The Bright Spots In Your Life

Look to God for guidance in your daily living, as he will lead you to bright spots. Pull up the shades in your house every morning to let God’s light shine in on you. Look forward to family vacations and spending time with your loved ones. Visit with people daily as they can help you shed new light on things. Always remember two heads are better than one for resolving problems and creating the best solution to make your day shiny and bright again.

Your Goals Change In Life As You Grow Older

You will probably want to downsize your business as you grow older or pass on your skills to one of your children so they can take over the family business. There will be many transitions that we will have to make in life. How you handle changes will significantly impact your outlook on life. Be glad you have lived to retirement, for some people never get the chance. Relax and do things that you have put off doing. If you have always wanted to write, now is the time. Spend more time with God and pray without ceasing and let God guide you on what he wants you to do that will help the most people possible.

God Is My Anchor In Life

I let God guide me in what he wants me to do. I visit and talk to people in rest homes and assisted living units; the elderly are still blessed to live in their homes. I write inspirationswithlaura to help spread God’s good works. Give people a surprise gift occasionally, and it will make them smile. Be kind, generous, compassionate, loving, and caring toward your fellow man. Always try to put yourself in the other person’s shoes.

God’s Love Letter To Us That Will Improve Our Outlook On Life

God has given us the Bible as his love letter to us. A woman that has received love letters from her husband will never part with them, and she will reread them often. God wants us to reread the Bible often and use it as a guide in our daily living and interactions with othersThe Bible is God’s book that will help you keep a positive outlook on life. You can help others have a more positive outlook on their life by passing on what you have learned by reading the Bible. God bless your life with a positive and bright shiny outlook.

Treat Your Elders With Respect

Post author By Laura Weers
Post date May 7, 2021
No Comments on Treat Your Elders With Respect

You can learn a lot of life values from your Elders. Your Elders have been through and have seen many different and unique situations in their lifetime. They will tell you their stories if you only take the time to listen. If we do not listen to the advice of our Elders, we are doomed to make very costly mistakes in our lives.

Respect Should Be A Given

Respect for one another should be a given. We should respect ourselves and others. Without regard for people, we have lost a great deal. Everyone has self-worth, kindness, and compassion in their soul if they will only pass it on to others. History is doomed to repeat itself if we do not learn from it.

Listen To Your Elders

When one is older, one wants to be around loving and caring people. You would not be where you are today without your Elders’ knowledge. Take time to listen to what your Elders are telling you. I love to visit with older people. They have a vast knowledge and wealth of information that makes you think and will take you far in life.

Remember to shut your cell phones off and carry on a conversation with your Elders, as it is insulting to text each other back and forth and ignore them. You may learn about World War 2, farming with horses, carpentry, and how to have a successful business.

Talk To Your Grandparents

Ask your Grandparents how it was growing up years ago. They probably went dancing, roller skating, and more in their free time. They had a lot of work to get done daily as they did not have computers and all the equipment we have today.

Seniors Deserve To Be Treated With The Utmost Respect

Seniors deserve to be treated with the utmost respect in care facilities. No one should ever mistreat someone relying on someone for their everyday well-being. Remember, we are all getting older and will be in a care facility someday, maybe much sooner than we think.

Visit And Help Your Neighbors

People would visit with their neighbors years ago and help each other if they had a crisis. Remember to take time to converse with someone today, and you will most likely put a smile on each other’s faces. God listens to and helps us every day of our lives, and we should do the same for others.

The Ways Of The World

Good And Bad

There will always be good and bad people in the World until the end of time. Some people will say the World is a terrible place. The truth is that a few wrong people seem to set the standard for people’s thinking. Try to think of all the good and positive things that happen in the World because of good people. News tends to focus on the wrong, and the good people are not mentioned much. People destroy the World with greed and disrespect for nature and what it has to offer us. Luckily we have people that try to save endangered species and are also helping with the drastic climate changes that tend to produce more devastation than ever on our planet earth. Climate change has more storms, and deforestation affects our rich oxygen supply, drastically affecting the next generation. Are car emissions affecting the ice caps that keep melting away, affecting the habitat for Polar Bears, and so much more?

Traveling In The World

When you are traveling and need help, someone will point you in the right direction. I have had excellent luck asking a young person where a particular attraction is. Most young people in foreign countries can speak English fluently. People, on the whole, are beneficial and friendly. I love meeting and talking to people in foreign countries. I like learning about the vast history of the country they grew up in, and I love sharing their stories with you. I visited a farming community still with milk cows and sheep in the field. I could hear the cows ringing the cow bells around their necks as they gathered in the barn in the early morning. The cows walked into their milking stalls, and the farmer milked them by hand. The sheep were baaing away in the pasture. I noticed some free-range chickens and a farm cat in their yard. I patted the sheep and the cat on the head. I fed a sheep a piece of divinity candy which it seemed to enjoy very much.

The World And What It Beholds Is A Very Precious Gift

God has given us a beautiful and bountiful World to live in. We must maintain the treasures in the World, or we will not be able to live on planet earth anymore. We cannot keep robbing resources from our planet without replacing them. If we cut down more trees, we can adapt our ad to global warming. Fracking can put dangerous chemicals in our water supply. God made us the stewards of the land, the birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea. Our job is not to pollute and destroy our planet so that nothing can live on it. We have to protect our precious planet for future generations, or we w, will destroy humanity and all of the inhabitants living in the World. God blesses us with the knowledge and the love of the planet to keep us living on a clean and healthy planet for many years.

My Secret To A Happy Life

The secret to a happy life is to be fulfilled in what you do and pursue in life. Keep busy and active, surround yourself with people, and stay close to your family connections. Pursue activities that stimulate you and that enhance the lives of others. Make a list of what you wish to accomplish every day, and you will get a lot done if you are determined to complete everything you have written on your list.

I love to travel and see the different architecture that the area has. I am glad I have had the opportunity to walk down the same streets my ancestors walked down in the old country. I saw the place where my Great Grandfather lived until he came to America. He was not the eldest son, so he moved to America to make a life for himself. He came to America with his wife, and they had children in America. He purchased farmland and built a house; I still live on the same building site. America is truly a land of opportunity.

I love living in the country. I love the wide open spaces and the smell of freshly worked land. I love to watch the baby farm animals grow. I have been around cats all of my life. Cats are wonderful companions that make life more enjoyable. I enjoyed being around cattle, pigs, and chickens. I would feed the pigs and gather the chicken eggs years ago. I would follow my Grandfather and Father around the farm and watch them repair cars, lawnmowers, and farm equipment. I loved visiting the multiple ‘neighbors’ farms and watching repairs being made. I enjoy watching the crops grow, and the combines gather up the harvest for the year. I love the quietness and peacefulness that the country has to offer. Neighbors still help one another when someone passes away. They help support the family by assisting them in harvesting the crop.

I am thrilled to have had outstanding and excellent parents. My parents always supported me in my en-devours and my accomplishments. Good parents, friends, relatives, and supportive people will make you truly happy, and you will live the life you always dreamed of living. I love writing and sharing my adventures and experiences with you through blogging. I loved helping my parents paint and make repairs to the rental homes that we had. I continued with the rental business until I retired. A purposeful life full of friends and God’s blessings are there for all who pursue its comforts. I hope you are having a happy life and living your dreams.
