The teasing weather man hinted at a cold front coming through. I think that is down right mean. The forecast shows a four degree drop in temperature next week to put us at 97-99 instead of 104-107.
You cannot possibly understand but north Texas is not this hot. We get maybe 6-10 sporadic days at 100 through out the entire summer. I lost count many weeks ago. Hard to figure as we went from Texas winter to Summer with out spring.
So today I have to write about discovering what is really here and allowing it to contribute as a blessing in my life. That would include the 104 degree weather predicted for today.
Are you at ease in your life with what God has provided for you? That could include your home, husband, family, job, friends, hobbies, etc. What is 'yours' that God has given you that speaks the loudest in your heart and mind? Now what can you give back to life using it?
Change in thought patterns is always for me the hardest. Letting go of things that need to be discarded is hard physically and emotionally. In our human life journey we are avid collectors of things we actually do not need. Why? Sometimes you must choose to let go of things that no longer bless you. If they do not serve the Highest with good intention, it is not necessary to keep. I have found with 'early retirement' this marks the beginning of the time to truly discard things emotionally as well as all the physical 'things' we have collected. What was important 10 years ago holds little importance now.
New visions and new paths are here to take. Be brave and step out anew this day. Find the new gifts waiting to be used. Your new blessings and talents will serve others and those folks are waiting...waiting on you to take that step that will in turn bring blessings into their lives.
