Blessings, Glory, And Honor

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning!☀️

I pray that you’re doing well.🌸

I woke up singing Maurette Brown Clark’s song, “Just Want To Praise You.” The song says—

“I just want to praise you forever and ever and ever. For all you’ve done, done for me. Blessings and glory and honor they all belong to you. Thank you Jesus for blessing me!”

That’s exactly what I feel—blessed. My theme for Year51 was “Beyond Blessed,” and this year has lived up to that theme. This is why I need to be mindful of the theme I set for Year52. Smile

Blessings and glory and honor all belong to God. I truly cannot express it enough, I am absolutely blessed—Beyond blessed!

FOUR more DAYS!!🎉

I’m enjoying my time with my baby girl. She always makes me feel so special. I just love being in her presence. You dote on your babies when they’re little ones, but I never imagined feeling the same about an adult child. Of course, it’s not exactly the same. I doubt if she even knows how I feel. She’s worried about making sure I enjoy my birthday weekend when all I want to do is spend time with her. I just love her.🥰

Anyhoo…

I pray that you have a fabulous day and beautiful weekend! May it be filled with lots of love, joy, peace, and laughter. You deserve it!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

My Journey With God, No. 105

Shaun Bradford

Facebook Memory: June 19, 2019

During my adulthood, I have taken quite a few leaps of faith, some small and some life-changing. With each leap came challenges; however, all were so worth taking.

Six years ago, I mentioned that I took leaps while afraid. Well, baby, on this side of 50, nothing seems to frighten me—not sure if that’s a good or bad thing😅—I’m just out here going with the flow. I’m not sure what my next leap will be, but I do know that whatever it is, I’m doing it fearlessly because I know from years of experience that God will always be with me.♥️

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♥️

An Afternoon Reminder

Shaun Bradford

You don’t always have to live life on ten for it to be meaningful. Mellow moments are just as important and necessary. Be sure to find a nice balance between the two.

I hope you’re enjoying your day!♥️

Love you,

Seven Days

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning!☀️

I’m hoping all is well with you.🌸

The final week of my birthday countdown is here! Seven days until Year52!

I smiled when I saw this Facebook memory. I remember how excited I was. I couldn’t wait to celebrate my 50th birthday, my jubilee year. Smiling because that was some year! Whew! Little did I know that my jubilee year would actually be my “tried in the fire” year. Soooo… did I come out of the fire as pure gold?

Hmmm… I’m still being refined.☺️

That year, I learned I needed to take better care of myself. I needed to put myself first to become a better, stronger version of my former self, especially if I wanted to live fifty more years. It was so necessary! I’m smiling because the pruning I went through had to be done. I needed to let go of so much of my former self to fully embrace the person I am today. Y’all, I like this version of myself better. This version of Shaun even breathes differently. As I said in the memory above, I am truly blessed.

I pray you have one of your best days yet! You deserve it!♥️

I love you,

Shaun
