So many will settle for God’s blessings. However, I do not want His blessings without His favor.
According to Cambridge Dictionary, favor is defined as the support or approval of something or someone.
Listen, I love God’s blessings, and He gives them graciously; however, His approval is what I am seeking. Can’t you hear the Clark Sisters singing, “Blessed and Highly Favored”? I definitely can. Wishing you a beautifully, blessed day!♥️ ~Shaun
“Don’t take it for granted that we are here today. Just know that we’re blessed and highly favored.”
Thank You, Lord Thank You, Lord Thank You, Lord I just want to thank You, Lord
You’ve been so good You’ve been so good You’ve been so good I just want to thank You, Lord
Flashback to when the rain was gone and the sun was shining. Grateful for both, the sun and the rain. Both are necessary for growth. However, I really prefer the sunshine. Don’t we all?☺️
Earlier, someone liked a tweet I posted nearly eight years ago. Not sure how old tweets pop up because I never seem to see them, but evidently someone does. Here’s the tweet.
X (formerly known as Twitter): June 21, 2016
Looking back over the past eight years, so many things happened that could have destroyed my spirit, made me give up, made me settle, made me lose faith, yet here I am. I am still standing and moving forward. As people say, I am so glad I don’t look like what I have been through. God is so good and merciful.
Not sure what prompted me to make that post. Sometimes I just post what I feel or hear. Either way, I see that someone needed that message today.
Here’s what I will add today. God already knows the outcome of our situations. He knew before we even knew there would be one. Our job is to rest in Him while He takes us through whatever we need to go through to get to the other side. As I mentioned before, there were plenty of things that could have taken me out, but I am still here. I am so grateful I didn’t give up or give in. Y’all, God is so good!
Listen, don’t give up. God’s got you! You will get through this. Right now I am hearing this song we used to sing in church (there are different variations) — “How I got over. How I got over. My soul looks back and wonder, how I got over.” Amen
Happy 50 years 7 months to me!! Yay!! Still can’t believe I am 50! What a blessing.
As you know, today is the day my daughter is moving to another state. In fact, she and her fiancé just left. No tears, only smiles. They are in God’s hands.
Just thinking about how around 29 years ago my baby girl was preparing to make her debut. I guess you can say I am feeling what I felt the day she entered the world. It was the day my life changed and I began my new journey as a mother. Now, another journey is beginning. Smiling
At this moment I can hear Mariah Carey singing, “Butterfly.”
When you love someone so deeply They become your life It’s easy to succumb to overwhelming fears inside Blindly I imagined I could Keep you under glass Now I understand to hold you I must open up my hands And watch you rise …
So flutter through the sky Butterfly Fly Spread your wings and fly Butterfly
Well, that’s all I have for this month’s birthday celebration. Only five months left! All I have to say is, “God’s will be done.” Amen
I believe the secret to a good life consists of actually living it; laughing often (gotta laugh); loving wholeheartedly; and being genuinely kind to others (not for show). Here’s what I shared two years ago.
Facebook Memory: January 23, 2024
Smile, if you’re already here. If this is how you’re living. If you are not here, get here quickly. This is where peace resides.
Live: Stay present!
Laugh: Your soul needs it.
Love: Unconditionally – it’s the secret of true peace and happiness.
Be Kind: EVERYONE’s struggling with something. No one’s exempt.
Focus on who & what truly matters and let the rest go. Life is short, spread LOVE!♥️ #ILoveYou
Again, spread love. Everyone needs love, even those we do not believe deserve it—they need it. Approaching them with hate only adds hate to your heart. Also, add hope. Whenever possible, add a little bit of hope to your conversations. Give people something to look forward to even if you cannot see it. Listen, hope goes a long way. It keeps life going.
That’s all I have for now. Wishing you a beautifully, blessed day.
Yesterday, I could not decide which Facebook memory to share so I didn’t share one. Well, instead of sharing my “Hello Sunday” on my social media accounts, I decided to share this memory. It’s a day later, but worth sharing.
Facebook Memory: January 21, 2023
Much too often we remember hurts and disappointments before we remember the good. Today, I encourage you to focus on the good times. The moments that made you smile and feel loved. Have a wonderful day.♥️
Always hold your good memories close and dear.
Praying you have a blessed day and joyful week. May God shower you with unexpected blessings.♥️
