Friday August 28 - LOVE WINS!!!!

 LOVE WINS - Friday, August 28, 2020

Today let’s look at some other ideas:

LOVE involves dreams, hope, visions, happiness, peace, joy, and more!!!

Let’s start with Dreams:

From Proverbs 13:12b “A Dream fulfilled is a Tree of Life”

(But, Proverbs often have contrasting themes in the same verse - so the whole verse - Proverbs 13:12 is:  Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a dream fulfilled is a tree of life”)

What are your dreams?  

I subscribe to a Daily Happiness quotation (see sohp.com) 

The happiness of life is made up of the little charities of a kiss or smile, a kind look, a heartfelt compliment.

If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. 

If you want to be happy, practice compassion

Comment - Compassion is love - show love, show compassion!!!

Life is a journey, and if you fall in love with the journey, you will be in love forever. 

Perfect happiness is a beautiful sunset, the giggle of a grandchild, the first snowfall. It's the little things that make happy moments, not the grand events. Joy comes in sips, not gulps. 

I don't have to chase extraordinary moments to find happiness -  it's right in front of me if I'm paying attention and practicing gratitude. 

Comment - I laugh frequently during the day - at myself!!!  

Every day is a new day, and you'll never be able to find happiness if you don't move on.

Comment - even in a pandemic, you can find happiness and love!!!  Call somebody, send somebody a note!!!

The best way to pay for a lovely moment is to enjoy it.

Comment - sometimes we are too busy to enjoy where we are.  We pull the car up to the Grand Canyon, jump out, take a picture, jump back in the car, and drive on!!!

One tree can start a forest.

One smile can begin a friendship.

One hand can lift a soul.

One word can frame a goal.

One candle can wipe out darkness.

One laugh can conquer gloom.

One hope can raise spirits.

One-touch can show you care.

One life can make a difference.

Be that ONE today!

Comment - you can do it!!!

Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present.

Comment - do it now!!!  Be happy, be loving, be compassionate, be complete - NOW!!!!

The people who make you smile from just seeing them, those are my favorite people.

Comment-I have several of those - they are special!!!

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

Comment - in this pandemic, we aren’t to touch or hug, and even smiles might be behind masks.  But, just something - even the “smallest act of caring” can make a difference!!!

One of the happiest moments in life is when you find the courage to let go of what you can’t change.

Comment:  There are things I just can’t change - and learning to let go of them can be tough, but so needed for our happiness!!!

You have to learn to love, you have to learn to be happy!!!  

LOVE WINS!!!
