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.
That thing you keep pursuing but just cannotseem to achieve.
That thing that has been nagging you for years, even decades, that your soul can’t seem to let be.
You know, that thing you were so close to achieving then something happened that threw everything off track…
Yeah… that thing.
Well, today, we are celebrating our (gotta include myself) wins in advance.
From here on, see yourself walking in everything you set out to achieve. Feel yourself in it! Yes, you had a few setbacks, but now you are finally there and pursuing other dreams. Pat yourself on the back because you did not give up. Nope. You were resilient. You hung in there and kept going. Now, you are there. YOU DID IT!♥️
Woke up with the song, “Don’t Cry,” by Kirk Franklin blaring in my head. Had to listen to it. Listen, Jesus is not dead. He’s very much alive. We are truly, truly blessed. Keep believing!♥️ ~Shaun
Honestly, there is no telling where I would be without God’s grace or His love and protection. As the song “God’s Grace” says, “No weapon formed against me shall prosper.” I can only imagine the weapons that He has blocked over my lifetime and continues to block. That’s grace.
Everything you need is right here All of your problems, yes I’m aware And when you’re down, I’ll be right there You can call on me ’cause I hear your prayer No other name can put joy where there is pain He will do it for you but first you gotta know that it’s by God
It’s by God’s grace All things through Christ Jesus No weapon formed against me shall prosper I’m so glad to know (So glad) It’s by God’s grace All things through Christ Jesus No weapon formed against me shall prosper
Say you got laid off Can’t pay your bills Sick, can’t get well My Jesus heals He’ll brighten up your darkest day Put trust in Him And he’ll make a way Anyone the son sets free – is free indeed He will set you free But first you got to be a believer and know that it’s by God
It’s by God’s grace All things through Christ Jesus No weapon formed against me shall prosper Anything your heart desires, my God is gonna see to it
It’s by God’s grace All things through Christ Jesus No weapon formed against me shall prosper It’ll never prosper, so come on in
Come on in before the sun goes down Even though the devil’s got you bound Know you’re tired of going round and round Take the Word and knock him down He’ll forgive you of your sins Open up and let Him in Let the Lord show you His love By the mighty God we’re conquerers
It’s by God’s grace All things through Christ Jesus No weapon formed against me shall prosper If you believe in it in your heart, raise your hands and sing
It’s by God’s grace All things through Christ Jesus No weapon formed against me shall prosper Say your battle is already won, you just keep on telling yourself
It’s by God’s grace All things through Christ Jesus No-no-no-no-no weapon formed-
It’s by God’s grace All things through Christ Jesus No weapon formed against me shall prosper No weapons formed (No weapons formed) Against me now (Against me now) Shall prosper
It’s by God’s grace All things through Christ Jesus No weapon formed against me shall prosper When trouble seem to follow you everywhere you go
It’s by God’s grace All things through Christ Jesus No weapon formed against me shall prosper
What if I fall? Oh, but my darling, what if you fly?
E. H.
That was a quote I shared five years ago—January 14, 2019. Next is the caption that accompanied it:
Happy Monday! Wishing you a blessed week! Here’s today’s social media find. Take the leap. Yes, there’s a possibility that things won’t go as planned (been there); however, there’s also a possibility that they might AND exceed your expectations (been there, too). You’ll never know, if you never leap. You already know God is going to catch you– FLY!
During my adulthood, I have taken numerous leaps—mostly spontaneously. As I mentioned above, some things went as I hoped and/or exceeded my expectations, while others didn’t. Either way, I never fell or failed. Somehow I always managed to fly. All praises to God.
Lately, I have not taken any leaps (it’s been three years). I guess you could say I have been living a pretty quiet, unadventurous life—been playing it safe. Honestly, I am not sure if I am just tired or if the adventures have ceased. Hopefully, it’s not the latter. There just has to be more adventures and leaps in my future. Y’all, I’m too young to stop leaping now. Sighing
Why am I hearing Donald Lawrence singing, “The Best Is Yet To Come”? Shaking my head. My thoughts and their theme music. Even my subconscious mind has a sense of humor. My life… Laughing
Well, that’s all for now. I pray you have a wonderful day!
Today’s Facebook memory basically falls in line with the pruning I experienced several months ago, and the decluttering I wrote about before the new year. When we really start growing—especially mentally, emotionally and spiritually—we begin to discover we have to let a few things go (sometimes people). We have to let go of things that trigger and/or hinder our growth or progression.
From experience, I know this is not easy thing to do. I still struggle with it. I believe it’s difficult because some things have been with us for years if not our entire lives (certain mindsets, behaviors, and beliefs). Believe me, it takes a lot of discernment and a good relationship with God to know what to let go of and what to hold on to because if we are not careful, we could toss what we need and hold on to what we don’t. Yes, discernment is very important. Also, being still so we can clearly hear God’s voice is utmost important. I know…sounds like a brutal task, doesn’t it? But it’s not. Smile…
Listen, God will never steer us wrong or leave us without. If we accidentally let go of things (opportunities, relationships, etc.) we should have held on to, we will receive them again. Believe me, whatever is meant to stay in our lives, will stay. It’s called God’s mercy, grace, and favor. For those who know, know there’s nothing like it! Amen
Okay… I’m done rambling. Just know that in the end everything always works out because God’s got us!♥️
Here’s today’s memory.
Facebook Memory: January 13, 2022
Walking away from things that no longer serve us is often difficult and sometimes painful, yet it is so necessary for growth. I pray God gives you the strength to walk away from things that no longer serve you so that you are able to move forward freely.
It’s not easy but necessary. And don’t worry about making the wrong decision. God won’t let us fail. What’s meant to be will be.
Sending blessings and love your way. Have a wonderful weekend!♥️
It’s Shaun’s World
