Lately I have been feeling
like I need a change in my life. I have been in a depressing rut. I have not been happy.
This morning I read
an article in good Housekeeping Magazine about how to live richer and
happier. I have been so worried about
our money situation and just so obsessed about our financial future that I am
not enjoying my life now. The way I am
going I won’t be enjoying life anytime soon. This has to stop! I do not mean I want to stop my goal of
increasing my income, but I have to start living in the present and for the
future. Worrying about it won’t help
anything. I have to let go…… and let God!

I have to concentrate
on what I have, not what I don’t have.
“There are people with money and there are people who are rich.” Said
Coco Chanel and this is so true! I am
rich! I have the best family a girl
could want! I have a paid off car, a
roof over my head and food in my belly.
I am rich. I have great friends,
I have a job with insurance, and I have God to look out for me. I am rich in
everything that matters and I need to remember this and be grateful.
The article in Good
Housekeeping also said that if we give we will receive. Think about that. Those who give to others, be it money, time,
or love do get something back in return. They get a sense of accomplishment. They get fulfillment. They often get love
back in return. What a blessing it is to
help others! Random acts of kindness are wonderful ways to minister to others
and minister to your soul. Pay your
blessings forward: volunteer in the
community, donate food to a food pantry, open the door for an elderly or
handicapped person-Just do something for others. Wave at a neighbor, say hello
to a stranger, be open to other’s needs, and remember a smile cost you nothing!
If we concentrate on
what we can do for others and what we are blessed with, we can enjoy a happier
richer life!
Grateful blessings to you all,
Lisa
"Give and it shall be given unto you - good measure pressed down shaken together" This verse/song rang through my head as I read this post. Building "spiritual wealth" is priceless! Blessings from Ringle, WI.
