harmonious balance

The only thing I love more than being affected, is affecting others.
It comes down to sharing our stories, our gifts, our blessings and our challenges.
Listening to others, learning and growing.
Doing your best and then simply letting go.

peace & God bless

permalink Sunday Morning Message- “Things God won’t ask you”
I come into contact with many people. Some have a strong belief in God and some don’t. I don’t judge them. I just love them all the same. I am not very good at judging people or knowing the reasons why they do something or why they don’t do others. I know that because of my childhood, parents, and where I grew up, there are things I believe, things I fear, things I don’t understand and some that I wish were different. How could someone judge me, not knowing my story? But, I know I have made it through some difficult times in my life because I have depended on my faith in God. Had I not had that, I’m not sure where I would be today, nor would I be sending out a Sunday morning message to you. Recently a good friend sent me this & not only did I like it, I needed it! It was a perfect time for me to remember what it said & what is truly important in life. Thank you Karl & I hope it gives you peace as well…
 
Things God won’t ask on that day:
He won’t ask what kind of car you drove. He’ll ask how many people you drove that didn’t have transportation.
He won’t ask the square footage of your house. He’ll ask how many people you welcomed into your home.
He won’t ask about the clothes you had in your closet. He’ll ask how many you helped clothe.
He won’t ask what your highest salary was. He’ll ask if you compromised your character to obtain it.
He won’t ask what your job title was. He’ll ask if you performed your job to the best of your ability.
He won’t ask how many friends you had. He’ll ask how many people to whom you were a friend.
He won’t ask in what neighborhood you lived. He’ll ask how you treated your neighbor.
He won’t ask about the color of your skin. He’ll ask about the content of your character.
