Day One: Today is a starting point on a journey on which I hope that we can all gain valuable insight, achieve personal growth and enrich the lives around us all by doing one of the most basic but hardest things that God wants of us… To love our neighbor. Essentially, this journey is based around that one principal. This challenge may have different meaning to each of us. My personal goal is to be a light to the world around me and be an example of God’s love. That being said, I want to address something that I often struggle with… Sometimes I wake up in the morning and get grouchy with the kids or get angry on the road on your way to work and I struggle to consider myself a “kind” person because I reflect on those moments where I fell short and they hold me back. Maybe you can relate (I hope I’m not the only one) and if so I just want to tell you that just because you ran for 3 miles and then tripped doesn’t mean you can’t count the 3 miles you’ve completed. I hope you understand what I’m trying to say here and why I mentioned it. Today’s random act of kindness turns our focus inward... I believe this is a necessary starting point because we need to be kinder to ourselves. Make it a point to be kinder to YOU. The things we think about ourselves and say to ourselves are holding us back. If you “hear” yourself being critical or notice the negative self-talk.. STOP IT! When you hear those things remind yourself that you are a masterpiece, don’t insult the artist ;) Additionally, treat yourself to something that makes you happy…I just bought a new Joyce Meyer book and am SO excited to read it :) My kindness to myself for the day! I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well. Psalm 139:14 New American Standard Bible Have a Fantastic Day :D
