Happy Sunday Morning

Sweet Friends,

Today rather than a quote to Ponder

I have a question to Ponder and it is

a question I have been asking myself

and the Lord for a few weeks now.

What can I (or anyone) do....to help
 make America great again??

By Mrs. Cozy Place!  lol

Guess this question came from my 
childhood from remembering 
President John F. Kennedy who said,
"Don't ask what your country can 
do for you......but ask what can I
do for my country"

Because I truly think we all have

something to offer.....and I think

sometimes we think it has to be

something BIG......but I don't

believe that is true, not that it
couldn't be something big, but
thinking that way, could just be 
a way of letting us off the hook.
These are just a few things that I
 feel the Lord has laid on my
 heart over the last few weeks.

#1

 Praying for and with our family,

and for others daily, and making

 a special effort to Pray for our

 President and Vice President 

and gov't officials.

#2

Being Kind and Loving to our

own family first, and then on to

others. Charity begins at home,

and sometimes we can actually

treat other people better than we

 do our own family........

( Mother Teresa was asked once

what can we do to promote world

peace.....her answer.....Go home

and love your family.) 

#3

Attending a good Bible believing

church, where we and our family

are taught God's principles...so that
we know how to live His way, which

will lead to a strong family.....and.

strong families build a stronger

 America.

#4

 Making it a point to say kind or

complimentary things to others be

 it family, friends, aquaintances or a

 complete and total stranger.  We all

need encouragement!

(Click here to read  #3, about the 

experience I had recently that 

spoke to me about this)

#5
Do our best to live a life of integrity.
I decided to look the word up, as I
thought I knew what it is, and I did,
but think this describes it better than
 my thinking of it even. Wikapedia 
seemed to have the best definition.

(Integrity is the quality of being
 honest and having strong moral
 principles; moral uprightness. It is
 generally a personal choice to hold 
oneself to consistent moral and 
ethical standards)

Put another way it is called Virtue.
Something to think about is; do we
 like it when someone lies to us, or 
maligns us, steals from us, or cheats
 on us, or is jealous of what we have,
 or harms or kills someone, especially 
someone we love. The Bible teaches
virtue, and God  knows that is what
 will really make us happy and have
 a good life and a good country.


#6
The Golden Rule......treat others
the way you want to be treated.


I am sure many of you can think
of many more ideas..... these are
just a few that have come to me
thus far.  Some of these we may
already be doing and some we
 may need a commitment to doing
or a renewed commitment to step
 them up a notch or two, or may-
be you don't embrace the value
of them....but in my pondering
this question I realized just how
important all these things are to
our society, and that sometimes
we have to be more mindful and
to choose daily to remember
that importance, as we all can
just get caught up in our life
and life can become just
all about us...........


Just a few examples.............
 Doesn't it make life
so nice when someone lets you
go in front of them in line when
they have a whole shopping cart
full, and you only have 2 items,

or doesn't it restore our faith in
people when we see someone
come back and pay for some-
thing that accidentally got past
 the cashier or turn in someones
wallet or purse they found in
the restroom.

or
 just to have someone smile
and say hello in passing, or
compliment you on what you
are wearing, or on how well
your child is behaving. I could
go on and on, but the point is:
 all these seemingly small things,
 add up to a great moment, a great
 day, a great week, a great month, 
a great year....
 and
a great America............


Happy Pondering!


Love, Hugs, and
Happy Making America
Great Again Blessings,

Nellie


Would love to hear your thoughts and
ideas too, on how you think we can
