I love a movie with African American people in it and to make it be around Christmas makes it even better. This story is on a serious subject, done with comedy and real information. There are times I thought I was in the doctor’s office myself, but it was a learning experience. But you have to love the imagination that can take a hint of Scrooge and mix it with some culture and add purpose to it. I think I found this on Prime.
Imagine the most powerful being in the universe decides to meet His creation. One of the attributes that He would display would be gentleness. How do powerful hands touch hearts? Gently.
It’s attributes are kindness, tenderness and being mild mannered. The word for the month is Gentleness. Imagine the most powerful being in the universe wants to commune with His creation. He came in the most gentle form to meet us.
Lets be Gentle this month.
Just be grateful. It is simple.
If you played a drinking game with this word this week you would find yourself sufficiently drunk. But actually being grateful means more than that. This week reflect on the things that you are grateful for.
Big G little ratefu big L. I try to be grateful which looks like a big G in the beginning. I become complacent. Then I am reminded of all I have and end with a big L. It is not something you can just be once. You have to work at it.
It is not smooth. It is not straight forward. It is not always easy.
Have you ever had someone say they are grateful, but…
Those people are not grateful. They greedy. Be grateful.
Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:18
Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits. Psalms 103:2
I spend much of my time thinking about what I want and need. It is time to focus on what I have and be grateful. Making the invisible, a little more visible.
One of my problems with self control is knowing where to focus. Where I am usually all over the place, time has taught me to focus on one area. Focus.
Like a dancer, the amount of control you have determines how successful you are in life.
Seeing it helps you remember it. This month’s affirmation is self control. It is that thing that helps us create discipline and accomplish new things. Things we were created to do. Buy this and remind yourself Self Control Shirt
What reminds you to work on your self control?
