The Queen's Journey

How is "living" in gratitude accomplished?    Living in gratitude is a lifestyle.  It is something that can be learned, but does take discipline.  Try this exercise in helping you develop a grateful heart, thus, to live in gratitude.... STOP >>>> Start out for five minutes a day (and increase over time) and just stop .  Stop and close your eyes.  Empty your mind of all that is going on around you.  Dive deep within yourself, within your soul, and search for the blessings of the day.  Surely, you've had at least one in your day thus far.  Actually, you have.  You're breathing --- able to see the light of another day.  Oh, and what about your sight --- you're reading this, are you not?      So, for five minutes of your 1,440 minutes of one day, stop, dive deep, and remind yourself of the blessings not only in your day, but in your life.  And, I want you to really focus on those blessings. ...

Evil wants to devour the souls of the good and the righteous. When evil is in a person's heart, it will stop at nothing to disparage and destroy the good in our society.  Just as in the case of the very first murder in our human history.  Cain killed his brother Abel "...Because his own actions were evil and his brother's were righteous." (1 John 3:12b) Misery does love company, and it will not stop until its boat is sinking from the weight of the souls it has claimed. Let's LOVE misery and evil out of business!!! Hug someone today and let them know they are loved! ♥ It's a matter of the Heart. (Proverbs 27:19)
