Merry or Misery

mean, mocking, making fun of..

misery means misguided

macabre mentality

meant to malign

and manipulate

and create malicious

mouthy ranting

meanwhile

mature minded

meditate and

make merry

a message of

mindful motivation

meant to encourage morale

and not a mucky mess..

Maybe just a muddled moment.. lol! It’s become so very easy these days to pick apart people.. Yes, we do have a voice but does it need to be said in a spirit of meanness..

My Frame of Mind

I was a bit hasty to post this photo yesterday. I have been mulling over many things, over the past months. As we all know aggression and atrocities have increased against human beings, babies in the womb, animals as well. People are impatient and have no problem making their viewpoint known. Anger and self control have exited out the door perhaps never to return. Loss of life in different manners. My heart sinks at times for the icky stuff happening. My thoughts have been to address the importance of mental health, mental well being. What am I doing, what are each of us doing to contribute to having and maintaining a healthy mindset? What can we do different to maintain peace of mind, so that the darkness doesn’t overtake us and consume us? We all have trials and battles, those battles of the mind that try to persist. How can we help those that are struggling. What we meditate on daily effects our thinking. Is it good, positive, encouraging? So this I share today. Not sure what to do with this idea, but for now, this is what is on my heart.

Be careful, then, how you live-not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Ephesians 5: 15-16

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. Romans 12:2

My son, be attentive to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. Let them not escape from your sight; keep them within your heart. For they are life to those who find them, and healing to all their flesh. Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life. Proverbs 20-23

There is Good

I wrote the following after reading some content on my phone, in regards to animal abuse. From that my mind wondered to other kinds of abuse in our world. But prior to all of that, the word good was stuck in my mind. Then my daily reading for today mentioned the word goodness, saying to always look for goodness and mercy.. Here is what followed.

look and you will find, that there is good, there is good all of the time-there are good people who live every day, who do good-and if you watch, and hear what they say- and see how they give and not take away- but willing to help those in need-not swollen with pride, or tempted with greed-not rebellious at heart, but live life to care-so never think that goodness is never there-for the truth is that good exists, and is around- but is often not noticed and is very quiet in sound…

Rogue

a rogue tongue

not so fun..

being mean

what’s going on?

in you brain

and your heart

we are not all

the same..

we do all have

a beating heart

blood that runs

through our veins..

yours is not more precious

than mine

or any others..

as God is our maker

we were created by

his design..

and it was his plan

for all of us

to be kind..

1 Corinthians 13:1

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth..

 

 

 

a few thursday words

be good, do good

be better, do better

speak kind, speak kinder

be different, live different

don’t spew mean words

don’t hate, don’t retaliate

foul words spoken

little ears hear

 it’s not amusing

that scary out of control

behavior is showing

and

 insults do not solve

they only hinder

your growth

which is meant for your good

and if you do good

we will all be better..

{Dear God, please help us all}
