Amen and amen: Love is a Miracle
Honestly? April this year kinda feels like everything happening is a very sick, bad joke. I think we sorta cancelled the whole April 1st thing. But you know what absolutely cannot be cancelled right now? What is needed now more than ever?
That we #ShowUpNow for each other, that we #BeTheGift to each other.
Because actual lives depend on it.
Right now, we all desperately need to be the gift to each other. To stand together in solidarity—FOR each other—knowing that an act of kindness, giving it forward, can be more powerful than the spread of any pandemic, more powerful sword in starting movements that move us all toward Love.
Dare with us? Let’s spread kindness, start a bit of a movement, a giving, generous, caring, broken and given and transforming revolution that turns things around.
Could there be a more beautiful way to live your one life in times like these? Dare with us — to take a daring path to the abundant life!
Easy, doable ideas for the whole family to Give It Forward Today, even in the midst of COVID 19—to be the G.I.F.T.
Love is a verb and that verb is give. For God so loved the world — HE GAVE. You only have one life — to love well. WE CAN #SHOWUPNOW, DO THIS THING AND #BETHEGIFT! ~~Download the Free COVID-FRIENDLY #BeTheGift Calendar under “Free Tools” here: bit.ly/StickyNotesForYourSoul

How to Actually Live the Secret of Contentment
Philippians 4:10-13
Books for Soul Healing:
Joy is actually possible, right where you are.
Take the dare to discover: Life is not an emergency…Life is a GIFT.
Life is too short to do anything but truly savor it — to count all the ways you truly loved.
What if Brokenness is the Path into the Abundant Life?
You don’t have to be afraid of broken things — because Christ is redeeming everything.
There’s no other authentic way forward — but a broken way — right into a profoundly abundant life.
Journey into a deeply meaningful life with this devotional and take sixty steps from heart-weary brokenness to Christ-focused abundance. The Way of Abundance — is the way forward every heart needs.
Be the Gift is a tender intivation into the next step of deeper transformation, less stress, more joy and abundantly more peace & purpose. You only get one life to love well…to Be The Gift.
Museums have always been a way to escape the pressures of daily life. Yet, just when we really need them, they’re closed … except, thank goodness, on the internet. Let’s visit some of the arts institutions whose virtual doors are open for exhibitions and artistic exploration
…yeah, it’d be real easy to get a bit frustrated today.
And this might be one of the most life-changing truths I’ve ever known: Only speak words that make souls stronger.
It is real easy to feel the sharp sting of somebody’s words.
And that’s the thing: Only speak words that make souls stronger.
It is real easy to feel some heat & pressure to lash out, to let the tongue rip. And there’s the game-changer: Only speak words that make souls stronger — so that you stay strong.
“Say only what helps, each word a gift.” Eph.4:29MSG
Only speak words that make souls stronger— because the thing is, once words are spoken, they may be forgiven, but may be not forgotten.
[excerpted from our little Facebook family … come join us each day?]
That’s all for this weekend, friends.
Go slow. Be God-struck. Grant grace. Live Truth.
Give Thanks. Love well. Re – joy, re- joy, ‘re- joys’ again
