Keep Smiling

Good Morning!☀️

For a few days now, “Smile, you are loved” has been the message. And you are loved, so smile. However, there are also other reasons to smile. For one, God has your back. You can always count on Him. Another is that He provided you with the Holy Spirit to be your personal guide, confidant, and intercessor, and He has placed angels around you for your protection. All reasons to smile. Also, if you are reading this, I believe it’s safe to say you’ve been blessed with the gift of sight.

I said all this to say there’s always a reason to smile. So smile.

Oh…and your smile might be the reason someone else smiles.

So, again, smile.🥰


I pray you have a wonderful day and beautiful weekend.♥️

Love you always,

Shaun

Three O’clock Reminder

I just love my 3:00 reminder. I am God’s child and I am loved. Today’s mantra is, “Letting go and letting God.”♥️

Smile, you are loved and you’re God’s child.🥰

What’s your mantra for today?

Love Doesn’t Hurt

Here are two posts I made on this day about love.

The first is a caption I added when I reshared the original post.

Remember, love doesn’t hurt. It’s the craziness surrounding love that causes the pain.

Love and be loved.♥️

Love you,

Our “Yes”

Good Morning!☀️

Just saw this quote by Pastor Mike Todd on Instagram— “God saw all of this before you said yes.”

Y’all, this quote hit my soul! I instantly thought about the yeses I’ve given God over the years and how where I am currently—physically, mentally, spiritually, etc.—is where God saw me before I even said “Yes.” He already knew what my “yes” would cost me. He already knew what my “yes” would bring me. He already knows where my “yes” is taking me.

If you didn’t know, your “yes” is just as powerful as, if not more powerful than, taking a leap of faith.

Our leaps of faith are usually dramatic—something others can see or follow. However, our yeses are very subtle and intimate. They are given with our hearts, and only God hears them. Sometimes, we say yes before we have a clear vision of what’s asked. The good part is, whenever we say “Yes” to God, we can rest assured that He will always be with us throughout our journey—He’s got us! And He will never ask us for more than He knows we are capable of achieving. If He asks, He already knows we can do it. (Let that sink in.)

Question—What have you said “yes” to lately?


Well, this is all I have for you at the moment. It’s raining, and I slept in. I’m really thinking about turning over and going back to sleep. Smile. I pray you have a fabulous day!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Acknowledging God’s Glory

Sometimes we miss God’s glory because we’re looking for something grand. Be sure to keep your eyes open for the small, even tiniest, of His glory. It’s all around you. Be sure not to miss it!♥️

Love you,

Shaun
