💥Peace & Truth
Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
Dear Lord,
deliver me from evil in all forms. Help me to use my tongue humbly rather than for my selfish desires. I shall model my speech after the most humble speaker of all, Jesus Christ, who taught us of Your holy word, God. Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen.🙏
What do you do when someone “sins” against you? No one goes through life without being hurt by someone. Most of the time, the person causing the pain doesn’t even realize it. Sometimes the person truly intends the pain. But, what do we do about it? In this gospel passage, Jesus tells his disciples to first go to the person and keep it between the two of them. In this way, the person who has offended the other can explain his/her intent, apologize for any pain caused, and the relationship can be maintained. But what happens when the first thing someone does is go and tell all his/her friends and family members about it? There can be resentment against the guilty party that could be unfounded. I have known of women who have complained and complained about the treatment they have received from spouses or children, bosses or coworkers, and never confronted the person directly. I’m not talking about abuse or abusive situations, but normal slights and offenses that can occur with anyone with whom you spend a lot of time. You then meet the “offending” person at a gathering and everything is “fine.” You may still feel a bit of anger at the one who caused your friend or family member such anguish. But the person explains that she finally sat down with the offending person and had a heart to heart talk and everything got ironed out. If those people had first spoken to the offender, it would have been settled a lot sooner and no one else would have been dragged into the argument. Obviously, Jesus also laid out some ground rules if the situation could not be so easily solved. Bring along a couple of witnesses to the confrontation and then if nothing can be resolved bring it to a higher authority. This gospel gives us a good opportunity to think about our own actions and how we can better resolve conflicts in the future
A mother’s happiness is like a beacon, lighting up the future but reflected also on the past in the guise of fond memories.
Usually it is our biological mother or permanent mother substitute who profoundly influences our perceptions about ourselves, our lives, and our significant relationships.
Behind every famous and influential person there is a driving force and in many cases this driving force is the unfailing love and support of their mothers.
Repetition is the mother of all skills, so the simplest way to ingrain something as a belief is to repeat it.
Not only am I a fighter, but I’m a survivor.
I think being a mother really plays into that.
Motherhood is more awesome than I ever thought it could be and harder than I ever would have imagined.
When it comes to parenting, the practice of framing mothers and fathers as good or bad is both rampant and corrosive -it turns parenting into a shame minefield.
The real questions for parents should be: ‘Are you engaged?
Are you paying attention?
My mother is the neatest person I know.
I mean that in every sense of the word.
Her life was not easy, yet she was a living example of someone who did the best with what life handed her.
Thank you, Mom.
We will always be grateful for the life lessons you taught and the love you shared.
When I was a young girl, something that my mom always emphasized to my siblings and me is that it was never okay to just get bye, be average or mediocre.
She encouraged us to chase our dreams, but always keep God first in our lives.
A mother is the one who is still there when everyone else has deserted you
Her life was not easy, yet she was a living example of someone who did the best with what life handed her.
Thank you, Mum 💖
We will always be grateful for the life lessons you taught and the love you shared.
Mother was by far the greatest personal influence in our lives.
Giving grace to yourself is never more important than when you become a mother.
Ma-ma does everything for the baby, who responds by saying Da-da first.
Mother-love is the great, surging, divine current that plays forever through humanity
She (mother) pushed us to always try harder, to want the best out of our lives, and to always be strong – a lesson she was forced to learn herself when we were all still young.
This mothering role will teach you more about yourself than you ever expected.
So I just want to stress to you the importance of mothers, because class, you’re going to have your October 22nd – and you just always remember that your mother is there who loves you, who will protect you, always stand with you.
Mothers never retire, no matter how old her children are she is always a Mom, always willing to encourage and help her children in any way she can!
My mother was the dearest, sweetest angel.
She didn’t talk; she sang.
She was a tower of strength.
Mother: the most beautiful word on the lips of mankind.There is only one pretty child in the world, and every mother has it.
Never undermine yourself because you are ‘just’ a house mom.
Stay At Home Mom
Roses are red
violets are blue
There is no one dearer
than a Mom like you!
What Happens When You Give Your Dreams a
Chance
Imagine all the things you’d do in life if you weren’t afraid of failing…
People who never went for their dreams simply because they were afraid of disappointing themselves and others
Imagine if they gave themselves a chance to go for it…
What would happen if regret was thrown out the window and you gave your dreams a chance
The greatest risk is not taking any risk at all…
Taking risks is vital if you want to follow your dreams and create the life you have always wanted
If you don’t take a risk on your dreams…
You will always be left wondering what could have been
There is no chance of success at all if you don’t take a risk
When you take risks, you always have a much greater chance of victory
You will not have that chance at all if you don’t take any risks…
Most people just think about living their fantasies
But never act on themselves
Their dreams just live on in their skulls
But not in real life
Be that “One in a Million” Personally, I think
We can all vow to make the world a better place one day at a time by being our true authentic selves.☘️🌿🌱🍀🍃
Each of us is more than capable of helping the world, despite our fears and limitations and the uncertainty that holds us back. It is commonly accepted that it is impossible to make a difference without unlimited funding or free time, yet most healing, cleansing, and spreading of joy are accomplished in a matter of minutes. If we vow to make the world a better place one day at a time, the true significance of small good deeds reveals itself to us. We come to see that we can be of service without dedicating our lives to recognized charities or giving up the pleasures we enjoy. The warmth we feel when we help the world is only a tiny part of the affirmative transformations that take place when we make altruism a part of everyday existence.☘️🌿🌱🍀
We make our homes, workplaces, communities, and countries better and brighter when we think positive thoughts that echo outward, give donations of time or money, smile at everyone we meet, and lend those in need our assistance. We inadvertently improve the universe because we can only be truly involved when we are informed. Even enthusiastically sharing ideas with others generates positive energy that then serves as the motivation for more tangible change. Selfless and helpful deeds remind us that we exercise some degree of control over a world that can seem chaotic at times. Even the smallest of such deeds is a demonstration of the fact that we are capable of changing the world positively. So much negative energy is generated by the suffering, pain, and close-mindedness we are regularly exposed to, but we can counteract it constructively by thinking and acting altruistically when opportunities to do so arise. 🌱🍀🌿🌿🍃
Helping the world often takes no more than a moment; just a wish for the world is a beautiful gesture and can be done by even the busiest of people effortlessly. The gift you give each day need not be grand or attention-worthy because the broader benefits are the same no matter the literal repercussions. Once a day, you can impact on reality, and you can reap the rewards of knowing that you are making the world a better ☘️🌱🍀🌿🍃
Do you know how it feels to have a heart that won’t heal to pretend that you’re happy when that’s not how you feel when inside you are bleeding where no one can see and your soul keeps on yearning for what just cannot be 😔
Do you understand how it feels to be a part of a whole to awake each new morning with an ache in your soul to pretend to yourself that you are healing up well yet your eyes keep on showing what your mouth will not tell 😔
Do you know what it’s like to be dressed in a smile to exist among mankind be it just for a while as your eyes keep on searching for a face in the crowd and inside you are bleeding and screaming out loud 😔
They grope at her, Taking pieces of her soul, Tearing at her flesh, To make themselves feel whole. They taunt her, Playing her with lies, Watching tears Fall from her eyes. They take her, Smother her in sin, Letting their demons win, As she begs them to let go. But they torture her, Hands upon pure skin, Broken from within, They will never know, How it feels to saturate in sorrow. They leave her
Bloodied, bruised and beaten, Treated like a piece of meat, They killed her,
Yet she still breathes each day, Knowing they will never pay.
Yes, they do, doomed in purgatory on fire 🔥
