Learning To Listen

Lately, I have not been able to write up a good post for you to read. It's not for lack of things to say, more so, it's choosing the right words. You see, I have this little problem of not thinking before I speak (or type sometimes) and I have gotten myself into trouble.
I have said things that others have found offensive without intending to offend anyone. I have good intentions and it sounds really good in my head, but it comes out all wrong.

So, I'm going through a time of learning right now. Learning how to speak, and most importantly, how to listen. I need to start listening to people more, and It's a hard thing to learn when you've always been the first one to speak. I have always been so quick to tell others what I'm feeling or thinking, that I haven't taken the time to show them my love, by listening.

I have also been praying lately for a 'heart change'. Just like the outside of my body got a makeover, my heart needs one too. There is alot of 'dirt' on the blades of my heart, and It needs to be cleaned off. But I can't do it alone, I can only do it with God's help.

So, for the next while, I may not be posting much. It all depends on how things are going with my 'learning' process.

 If any of you have some godly wisdom for me, I would love to hear it.

Psalm 19:14 "May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer."

Have a great day!!

So, I was gonna write a nice long post today, but then I remembered that I had a bunch of cute pictures in my camera just waiting to be displayed.

Loving on others

As most of you know, we sponsor 1 child financially and we correspond with 2 more. This has been such a blessing for us. This has really opened our eyes to  what life is like in other countries and also to how much love we can feel for someone we have never met. These 3 boys are so special to us and it will be a sad time when our correspondence will have to end. But this is not the only way to love on others. This is only one of the few. It could be helping the homeless, either by serving at your local soup kitchen or even as simple as dropping a few groceries into the helping hands bin at your grocery store. It may seem like a very small act to you but it could be life changing for someone else. or it could be as simple as a… It could even be as easy as letting someone cut in front of you, either in the store line or in your car on the road. Loving on others is so easy that most of us seldom realize how many opportunities we have each and every day to do so! What ki...
