Today's Affirmation: I am proud of myself as a mother

If you are a mother or even a mentor take notice of the successes of everyday life that occur by just being who you are.

Perhaps your child is faced with a decision, rather than stepping in you watch and wait to see how she uses her judgment. You watch her take the time to think it through and come to a decision.

You as a mother should feel proud. You are the one who taught her the importance of making good decisions. You are the one who taught her to have the confidence to know that she could think it through and make a choice.

As a parent, you did it by just being who you are and you should be proud.

From Meditations for Women

Weekend Reflection

Remember, there is no perfect time for anything, there is only now. Today is the day to begin your journey to greater levels of fulfillment and productivity.

Don't wait until everything is just right, it will never be that way. There will always be challenges and obstacles. So what. Get started now.

With each step you take, you will grown stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more confident.

Everything you want is out there waiting for you, but you have to take action to get it.

GO FOR IT!

Sometimes we wonder, "What did I do to deserve this?" or "Why did God have to do this to me?" Here is a wonderful explanation!

A daughter is telling her Mother how everything is going wrong, she's failing algebra, her boyfriend broke up with her and her best friend is moving away.

Meanwhile, her Mother is baking a cake and asks her daughter if she would like a snack, and the daughter says, "Absolutely Mom, I love your cake"

"Here, have some cooking oil," her Mother offers.

"Yuck" says her daughter.

"How about a couple raw eggs?"

"Gross, Mom!"

"Would you like some flour then? Or maybe baking soda?"

"Mom, those are all yucky!" To which the mother replies: "Yes, all those things seem bad all by themselves. But when they are put together in the right way , they make a wonderfully delicious cake!

God works the same way. Many times we wonder why He would let us go through such bad and difficult times. But God knows that when He puts these things all in His order, they always work for good! We just have to trust Him and, eventually, they will all make something wonderful!

God is crazy about you. He sends you flowers every spring and a sunrise every morning. Whenever you want to talk, He'll listen. He can live anywhere in the universe, and He chose your heart.

If you like this, share this with the people you really care about. I did.

Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well dance.

People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. When you figure out which it is, you’ll know exactly what to do. ~ Michelle Ventor

I am beginning to learn that it is the sweet, simple things of life which are the real ones after all. ~ Laura Ingalls Wilder

To get all there is out of living, we must employ our time wisely, never being in too much of a hurry to stop and sip life, but never losing our sense of the enormous value of a minute. ~ Robert Updegraff
