Sunday Wisdom

Happy Sunday! I truly believe the ultimate purpose of our existence is to love one another and to enjoy the gifts our Lord has bestowed upon us.  For me, one of those gifts is crafting and I love creating things to bless others.  I hope in my small way I am making a difference in the lives of others. I know it is not much, just a hand-made card, but it is truly is crafted with love and that brings me great joy.

For love to be pure, it must be freed from all selfishness.  Pure love looks only at the one being loved.  That is super easy when it comes to loving my husband, but at times, not so much when it comes to loving myself. So it is during those times that I just take a deep breath and try to focus only on God’s greatness and beauty, then I discover something quite glorious. 

As we continue to find our new normal in this world let us always remember to reach out to others in compassion. We must never forget to show ourselves love and compassion as well. We all make mistakes! After all as I used to remind my children, if you don’t make at least 10 mistakes a day you are not doing anything. Life is all about taking risks and learning to live with a compassionate and forgiving heart! Peace my friends!

My prayer today if for all who are suffering, especially those who feel alone. Lord grant us wisdom to act with kindness. If we lack wisdom about certain things in life, then just ask God. Get to know Him intimately, and trust Him to give knowledge, wisdom and understanding. We will encounter a lot of different people in our life time. God’s Word instructs us to love and treat strangers of other cultures with respect. It is never too late to share the love of Christ with others. Remember, regardless of how insignificant we feel our God-given talents are, we must walk worthy, using our gifts to glorify God and build up Kingdom of heaven.  As Mother Teresa so lovingly stated, “If you judge people, you have no time to love them.”  Have a blessed day!
