Hello Sunday

Shaun Bradford

I say this so often that it may appear to be a cliche; but y’all, I love the way God loves me. One day I will have to write a book about God’s greatness in my life. The way events occur in my life are quite interesting and seemingly implausible; but as they say, I have receipts.

I have thousands of journal entries – 30 plus years of entries – that document God’s goodness, grace, mercy and unconditional love in my life. Y’all, no matter how many times I have – been disobedient, done things on my own, self-sabotaged opportunities, and doubted His words – He has always picked me up, brushed me off, dried my tears, made me smile and gave me another chance to do and be better.

Yes, one day I will write a book… or several.

Y’all, I have discovered it’s not the big, glorious things that make life so interesting. It’s the small things leading to the big ones that are so remarkable and rewarding!

I pray you have a beautiful week. Be mindful of the small blessings that come your way. I believe they are God’s way of expressing His love for us, which is so often overlooked.

Be Blessed

Yesterday I received a last minute invite to a rodeo. Friday night’s meltdown became Saturday’s smile. This is only one example of how God expresses His love for me.♥️

Enjoy your day!

Hope & Optimism

Today’s a new day! A new week! AND a new beginning!

Today’s Hello Sunday is about hope and optimism. I believe hope and optimism are intertwined. You cannot have one without having even an ounce of the other. Sometimes being optimistic is difficult in what appears to be hopeless situations. Yes.. appears to be hopeless. Over the years I have learned– and I am still learning– that when you know God, you can always find hope in seemingly hopeless situations.

Last week I chose optimism and hope over fear and defeat. I had decided that no matter which way the election went, I was going to remain optimistic. Some suggest that this is only the calm before the storm. I suggest that if or when the storm comes, make sure you stay in the eye of the storm where there’s peace and tranquillity. Try your best to avoid being sucked into the surrounding chaos and turmoil. Yes.. stay within that eye. As long as you stay within the eye, hope and optimism wins. Y’all, love wins!

Be Blessed
