Life

There’s Greatness In You

Shaun Bradford

What a day this has already been!

Woke up to my first scheduled posts on Shaun’s Daily Inspiration displaying incorrectly on the reader’s feed. After Googling how to remove the statement that was attached to the post (was supposed to be the post’s text) and going through the process of removing it, this was what I ended up with…

It took me over an hour to get everything straight (ran into another issue while using the code editor). Very long sigh…

This is a screenshot of the feed after the post was republished…

Now, here’s what’s currently displayed…

Whew!!! Smiling as I write, y’all, THIS is my life. Gotta love it!

Here’s today’s post.

Greatness

There’s greatness inside of you. You may not see it yet, but so many others do. In the right light, you’ll see it too. Signed and sealed with love,…

Greatness

I added a reflection section, “Let’s Pause & Reflect,” at the end of the post. After the morning I’ve had, I guess I’ll be the first to finish the following statement:

“I didn’t always see it, but one great thing about me is …”

Y’all, one great thing about me is that my level of patience is extremely high.

I have been told many times that I have a lot of patience, especially by my older people, but I see it as me providing them with assistance or doing my job.

Today I saw that patience… or maybe it’s persistence. Having an “Aha” moment.

Thinking about several matters I worked on over the past few weeks, even yesterday—my birthday, and even moments ago (just got off a call)—I refuse to stop until an issue is resolved. So maybe it’s a little bit of both, patience and persistence.

Anyhoo… This problem is somewhat resolved. I still need to play around with a few more things to make sure this doesn’t happen again.

By the way, today’s Quote of the Day has posted, so I guess I’ll include it too. Honestly, it’s very fitting for this moment—

“This is your moment. Seize the opportunity to be great.” –Eric Thomas

And I did!😊

Sooo… how’s your day going so far?😅

I hope it’s going great and has been less eventful. Talk to you later!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Trust God: That’s The Message

Shaun Bradford

When we’ve done all we can, there’s only one thing left to do, and that’s to trust God. This should’ve been the first thing we did, but we’re human, right? Smile

I’m so thankful for God’s love, mercy, and grace. For another opportunity to trust Him to do what only He can do.

Yep… That’s the message.♥️

I love you always,

Shaun

Being Present And At Peace

Shaun Bradford

One of my themes for my fiftieth birthday year was, “Present and At Peace.” I shared the following on this day in 2023—

That was two years ago. Here’s what I’ve discovered since—

Yes, this is peace.♥️

Love you,

God’s Hugs and Kisses

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning!☀️

I pray you’re doing well.🌸

I slept in this morning. Then, just as I was about to reprimand myself for slacking, God reminded me of His gift—His peace and blessings. This is the life He’s blessed me with. He’s given me this time and space to move as I please—time to shamelessly focus on me and only me.

And you are. YOU, my friend, are blessed.

As I mentioned last year, God’s blessings are like His hugs and kisses reminding us that we are His children. And I am taking it all in. I’m surrounding myself with His love, peace, and blessings.

I needed the extra sleep. I needed to wake up to the sunlight, not before it appeared. Usually, I would apologize for the late post, but not anymore. No more apologies. No more over explaining. I’m finally living in the space God’s graced me to be in, and I’m loving it.

This is Year52.🥰

I pray that you’ve allowed God’s hugs and kisses to find you. There’s nothing like being graced with His blessings.

This is all for now. Wishing you a magnificent day!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

I’m Blessed, Yes

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning!☀️

I pray you’re doing well.🌸

Blessed!🥰

I woke up this morning singing Charlie Wilson’s song, “I’m Blessed.” The song says—

“Ask me how I’m doing, I’m blessed, yes. Living every moment, no regrets. Smile upon my face, I’m like, oh yes, I’m blessed, yes. I’m blessed, yes. I’m blessed!”

Yesss… I am so very blessed. I am so grateful for God’s love, mercy, and grace. There’s nothing like it. Amen

Y’all, only FIVE days until my birthday!!🎉😄 I’m so excited! I’m even more excited because I get to see my baby girl today!!😆 Let the festivities begin! Year52 is loading!

I pray you have the greatest day yet! May it be filled with love, joy, peace, and laughter. You deserve it!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

**Fun fact: Many, many moons ago, when I was a little girl living in Kansas, we belonged to the same church as Charlie Wilson’s sister, Loretta. She had four or five boys and I had a crush on one. Those were the days. Good memories!

My Journey With God, No. 104

Shaun Bradford

A few months ago, one of our fellow bloggers, Wynne Leon, shared a quote of questions by Henri Nouwen. I saved that quote because it resonated with my purpose of allowing God’s glory to shine through me. Every day, I strive to answer these questions, whether through my blog posts, posts on other social media platforms, or personal interactions.

Henri Nouwen’s Questions

Did I love?

Did I offer peace today?

Did I bring a smile to someone’s face?

Did I say words of healing?

Did I let go of my anger and resentment?

Did I forgive?

I pray that God’s glory is shining through me as I answer each question. If not, God, please guide me in doing so. Amen♥️

Who Knows You Better Than Yourself?

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning!☀️

How are you?

I pray you are doing well.🌸

Facebook Memory: June 18, 2022

Besides God, who knows you better than YOU? The answer is “No one.” Always remember, you control the pen to your life’s story. As you evolve, your story evolves. Feel free to revise it as you grow—it’s YOUR story.

That’s all for now. I pray you have a wonderfully blessed day. May it be filled with an abundance of love, joy, peace, and laughter. You deserve it!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

**Six more days!!🥰🎉 Year52 is loading…
