When you want life to the full...
When you want life to the full...
For years I lived full.
Full schedule.
Full plate.
Full speed ahead.
I found myself weary, wondering,
"Is this really how it's supposed to be?"
And then it seemed God asked me to learn to live differently.
To focus on love.
To make time to listen to His voice.
To embrace what He's called me to do and let all else drop away.
"Isn't that what I've already been doing?" I asked."Don't you want me to be busy, to push myself to the limit?"It seemed the heart of heaven smiled and these grace-words drifted into my day. "Daughter, I did not come to give you a full life. I came to give you life to the full."
"I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." John 10:10

When you feel overwhelmed...
When you feel overwhelmed...
Demands knock on my door.
Burdens beckon me to answer.
The to-do list stretches for miles.
I whisper, "I feel overwhelmed."
And in the stillness it seems I hear...
"Child, open your heart to Me
instead of the demands of the day.
Lay those burdens at My feet, not on your shoulders.
Let go of your list and dare to embrace My grace.
I do not require you to be overwhelmed.
I enable you to overcome.
And with Me, you always will."
I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world. John 16:33

The Life Changing 100/0 Principle
How The 100/0 Principle Works
What is the most effective way to create and sustain great relationships with others? It's The 100/0 Principle: You take full responsibility (the 100) for the relationship, expecting nothing (the 0) in return. Implementing The 100/0 Principle is not natural for most of us. It takes real commitment to the relationship and a good dose of self-discipline to think, act and give 100 percent. The 100/0 Principle applies to those people in your life where the relationships are too important to react automatically or judgmentally. Each of us must determine the relationships to which this principle should apply. For most of us, it applies to work associates, customers, suppliers, family and friends.
STEP 1 - Determine what you can do to make the relationship work...then do it. Demonstrate respect and kindness to the other person, whether he/she deserves it or not.
STEP 2 - Do not expect anything in return. Zero, zip, nada.
STEP 3 - Do not allow anything the other person says or does (no matter how annoying!) to affect you. In other words, don't take the bait.
STEP 4 - Be persistent with your graciousness and kindness. Often we give up too soon, especially when others don't respond in kind. Remember to expect nothing in return.
Principle Paradox
This may strike you as strange, but here's the paradox: When you take authentic responsibility for a relationship, more often than not the other person quickly chooses to take responsibility as well. Consequently, the 100/0 relationship quickly transforms into something approaching 100/100. When that occurs, true breakthroughs happen for the individuals involved, their teams, their organizations and their families.

Learning to Dance in the Rain
"Life is not about waiting for the storms to pass...
it's about learning how to dance in the rain!"
I thought...that's it! We all face adversity in our life. However, it's not the adversity, but how we react to it that will determine the joy and happiness in our life. During tough times, do we spend too much time feeling sorry for ourselves, or, can we, with gratitude...learn how to dance in the rain?
It almost sounds too simple to feel important, but one word...gratitude, can change your attitude, thus, your life, forever. Sarah Breathnach said it best...
"When we choose not to focus on what is missing from our lives but are grateful for the abundance that's present....we experience heaven on earth."
it's about learning how to dance in the rain!"

Grandma G's remedy (plus a hot-tottie)
VICKS Vapor Rub - INTERESTING
During a lecture on Essential Oils, they told us how the
foot soles can absorb oils. Their example: Put garlic on your feet and
within 20 minutes you can 'taste' it.
Some of us have used Vicks Vapo Rub for years for everything
from chapped lips to sore toes and many body parts in between. But I've
never heard of this. And don't laugh, it works 100% of the time,
although the scientists who discovered it aren't sure why. To stop night
time coughing in a child (or adult as we found out personally), put
Vicks Vapo Rub generously on the soles of your feet, cover with socks,
and the heavy, deep coughing will stop in about 5 minutes and stay
stopped for many, many hours of relief. Works 100% of the time and is
more effective in children than even very strong prescription cough
medicines. In addition it is extremely soothing and comforting and they
will sleep soundly
Just happened to tune in A.M.. Radio and picked up this guy
talking about why cough medicines in kids often do more harm than good,
due to the chemicals in them This method of using Vicks VapoRub on the
soles of the feet was found to be more effective than prescribed
medicines for children at bed time. In addition it seems to have a
soothing and calming effect on sick children who then went on to sleep
soundly.
My wife tried it on herself when she had a very deep
constant and persistent cough a few weeks ago and it worked 100%! She
said that it felt like a warm blanket had enveloped her, coughing
stopped in a few minutes.So she went from; every few seconds
uncontrollable coughing, she slept cough-free for hours every night she
used it.
If you have grandchildren, pass this on. If you end up sick,
try it yourself and you will be amazed at how it works.
DON'T SHUN THIS ONE.. TRY IT THE NEXT TIME YOU GET A BAD COLD.
THE ONLY THING YOU CAN LOSE IS YOUR COUGH..

Devotional from Jen Young, Mahalo Sistah!
"Though my father and mother forsake me, the Lord will receive me." - Psalm 27:10 NIV. .... Yes, earthly relationships often fall apart, families separate, parents abandon their children, friends come and go, but we can take comfort in knowing that the Lord will always listen, support and care!! Lean on Him, and you'll never be lonely.... Have a blessed week, sisters!!

A last thought to share
Jesus died under God's judgment against
our sins, so that He could rescue us from
constant falling into sin and make us His
very own people, with cleansed hearts and
real enthusiasm for doing kind things for others.
Titus 2:14

MIA
I donated my regular 8 week pint of O+ blood (3 1/2 gallons to date) on Saturday, but an hour later when I was shopping at Kroger, I fainted outside and cracked open my head when I hit the cement. Now, I'm stuck with this staple in the back of my head for 10 days and had to argue with the nurse to get an appointment for the dr to take it out, ugh :(

Come To Me
When you are hurting, come to Me and
I will bind your wounds.
When you need to be assured, come to Me and
I will give you my embrace.
When you can no longer go on, come to Me and
I will carry you.
When you need comfort, come to me and
I will wipe your tears.
When you are uncertain of My love, come to Me and
I will speak My heart to you.

Jesus Calling
Come to Me with empty hands and an open heart, ready to receive abundant blessings. I know the depth and breadth of your neediness. Your life-path has been difficult, draining you of strength. Come to Me for nurture. Let me fill you with My Presence: I in you, and you in Me.
My Power flows most freely into weak ones aware of their need for Me. Faltering steps of dependence are not lack of faith; they are links to My Presence.
John 17:20-23; Isaiah 40:29-31
Excerpt from the devotional book, Jesus Calling by Sarah Young.
