Be Blessed

Be Blessed” by Yolanda Adams

On this day ten years ago (December 23, 2014), I was listening to “Be Blessed” by Yolanda Adams. The song says (which is also my prayer for you)—

“I want you to be blessed. Don’t live life in distress. Just let go, let God. He’ll work it out for you. I pray that your soul will be blessed. Forever in His hands. For you deserve His best, no less.”

Yes, YOU deserve God’s best. Nothing less.

Be Blessed♥️

My Journey With God, No. 41

This past Saturday, I volunteered at two events. The first involved assisting with distributing over 2,000 pounds of fresh greens (collards, mustards, and turnips) to the community—many thanks to Mississippi farmers for their donation! The second involved providing winter wear and a hot meal to people experiencing homelessness. This was at a candlelight vigil held for individuals who lost their lives while being homeless (see We Are Thriving’s post below).

Years ago, I asked God for time to do what I really wanted to do—spread love and hope to underserved and unserved communities. I wanted to be able to actually connect and interact with the people I served. Unfortunately, every promotion I received limited those opportunities and connections, and I hated it.

Fast forward to today. I’m doing what I love! Last Friday, I met with a local veterans organization and made a few connections. I’m looking forward to assisting them in the future. Then, on Saturday, I had the two events. At the end of the candlelight vigil, the organizer recognized me for my assistance. Not for the work everyone saw but for what they didn’t see. She told them I was her prayer partner and encourager. Y’all, it was so unexpected. When I say I am truly, truly blessed, this is what I mean!

I am so grateful that God has allowed me to do what I love. I pray that His light and love shine through me and be passed on to others through everyone I touch. Yes, this is my prayer.♥️ ~Shaun

Good Night (32)

As we wind down for the night and prepare for the upcoming holiday week, be sure to surround yourself with love. Love and be loved.

My daughter arrived home this morning. I’m looking forward to loving on her and my son this week and allowing them to love on me. Yes, I’m going to sit back and take it all in. We’ve already had a lot of laughs today. Y’all, they crack me up. I just love them!🥰🥰

I pray you have a restful night and a wonderfully blessed week.

Love you,

Shaun

My Journey With God, No. 40

This morning, I’m singing Hezekiah Walker’s song “Grateful.” The song says—

“I am grateful for the things that You have done. Yes, I’m grateful for the victories we’ve won. I could go on and on and on about Your works because I’m grateful, grateful, so grateful just to praise You Lord. Flowing from my heart are the issues of my heart, it’s gratefulness.”

God is so good. So very good. I’m so grateful to be in His presence. I am so grateful for His love. I am truly blessed.♥️ ~Shaun

Keep Shining Bright

That shine looks good on you!

Every time you dim your light, you betray yourself and minimize the glow God has placed inside you. Let your God-given light shine through and let it shine bright!♥️

Love you,

Shaun
