Chapter 1: “When You’ve Been Blessed”

Snippet:

"When You've Been Blessed" you most certainly need to share in your Blessings with those that may have been less fortunate or not AS fortunate as the Blessing that has been bestowed upon you. You thus create your continued Blessings by being one TO someone. Why would God not Bless the ones that are Blessing others?

The reciprocity of Blessings is more important than the actual Blessing itself. Should you do nothing with it and not pass it on, it was insultingly all for naught.

My Mother used to say, "people are in your Life for seasons or reasons. It is not up to us to determine which one they are here for, but it is up to us to make the best of it, the most out of it and treat the participation in our lives as a Blessing: good, bad and otherwise."

I Pray that every Life that crosses paths with my Life is made better, whether or not I know it or not. The only thing that I can do, is my part. Therefore, I shall play my position, practice my role and be the best that I can be at ALL times, since the best is expected of me, at ALL times.

"Through Him and because of Him"

My life has already been outlined for me to meticulously color in between the lines with as much flavor and color as I can muster, to demonstrate that NOTHING about me is impossible. "Through Him and because of Him," I'mPossible!

"Tell Yourself"

Tell Yourself: God has made me bulletproof against those that attempt to assassinate my character!

Tell Yourself: God will not allow hate to extinguish the very Life that He has chosen to breathe Life into!

Tell Yourself: God's Promises for my future are not synonymous with the broken promises of my past!

Tell Yourself: I am because He is, I can because He did, I am passionate because He first showed compassion, I am healed because He bled and I live because He died!

Tell Yourself encouraging words of inspiration on a regular basis in order to thwart the attempts of anything that wants to discourage you in your efforts to do what is right, permanently forbidding them to ever dictate to you otherwise!

Do not wait for others to confirm or to tell you the things that you already know in your heart to be true. And if you didn't know, now you do! Remind yourself and just "Tell Yourself," every single day!

"Start Living"

Perhaps someone around you forgot how to live. But by watching you from afar, they are no longer afraid to "Start Living" again.

Allow your Life to serve as a living example to the eyes of admiration that know nothing about.

"Still Be Beautiful in the Process"

Thank God for the four seasons, and the foliage of the Fall. Right in the middle of the forest for the trees, I can now see it all. And even though change brings us "out" of one and "in" to the next, the foliage allows it to "Still Be Beautiful in the Process."

"Back on My Feet"

I was down, but I was far from out,
My familiarity with God's Grace and Mercy was that it was only mapping out a much better route

I stay on my knees and I will always give Him the Glory,
I may indeed be the author, but He is the only publisher to and for my story

I had time to reflect, irrespective of the presence of a paycheck,
Thank You Jesus because when I need a deposit, Your funds are always direct

Where I would be is unbeknownst to me,
But the presence of adversity only brings me closer to my Heavenly

I am grateful, I am humble,
By myself I trip and fall, but with the Lord, I only stumble

Nothing but reminders,
Of what it was once like moving about with peripheral blinders

I now see both vertically and horizontally,
My God, I Thank You for always keeping me

You've kept me in your midst and no more than an arms length away,
I fear not, I hear Your voice, and even in my weakness, I shall not ever stray

The words of gratitude escape my penmanship,
But my heart knows the depths of my eternal relationship, with You

May my thoughts, words, and actions disappoint You not,
I'm here, I'm Yours, and I inhabit the space that You have designated as my spot

To You, I give all of the Glory,
Thank You for my presence, and allowing me to write this part of the story

Thank You Lord, for putting me "Back on My Feet."

Smile and Have a Wonderfully Blessed Day!
