I Propose...

-

What I propose:
1. I propose we say 'I love you' to a family member we haven't said it to recently, even if we don't think they'll say it back. They'll hear it; that's what matters. Sometimes the only time to say these things is now.
2. I propose we smile more than usual. A smile can literally change someone's life. How beautiful would it be to know you were the source of that change in someone's life?
3. I propose we make someone feel special. Give them a sincere compliment, be interested, let them know they're noticed.
4. I propose we be kinder than necessary.
5. I propose we listen. There are so many sounds and noises going at once that we often find ourselves forgetting to hear what matters most.
6. I propose we show our appreciation for someone. Tell them thank you. And mean it.
7. I propose we pick someone up. Whether it be verbal or physical, someone can always use our encouragement and support.
8. I propose we take the optimistic side. Positivity is powerful.
9. I propose we make every day amazing. Every day should be an adventure. Give every day the best you have; great things are sure to happen.
10. I propose we laugh, every day. Laughing is so refreshing and exhilarating and building. Build up yourself and others by letting that beautiful, crazy, unique sound bubble out of you.
11. I propose we let our happiness show. If someone makes you happy, tell them. It may surprise you how many people don't think they make any difference at all.
12. I propose we look up. Have you noticed the magnificence of the sky today? The serenity of the tree tops? The uniqueness of the chimneys? Maybe not. Maybe you were looking down...did you see a puddle? Something I love about puddles is that they are a constant reminder to look up.
13. I propose we love ourselves. Face it, you are amazing. Really fantastic. You have so much potential and so much worth. You are magnificent. Please...never, ever forget that.
 Just something to think about.
On a related note, this video inspires me and makes me happy. Thus, I'm sharing it. Enjoy! And please have a beautiful day. :)

The Windows of Heaven

Once upon a time... (as all really great fairytales start out, except this is not a fairytale in the slightest) I was having a hard time. Actually, this "once" basically consisted of a period around seventeen or eighteen months long. Well, as I struggled through this time (struggled is kind of an understatement), the Lord blessed me with certain blessings. Namely, my dear siblings and my best friends. I didn't realize it at the time (although I had some inkling of it), but they saved me. I'm fairly certain I would NOT have made it out of that without them. I knew they were a blessing then; in the midst of all the darkness, they were a constant, warm and familiar light. However, as I look back on it now...even so recently, I see that they were literally sent by the Lord for my aid. I know the Lord hand picked each of them for the purpose of raising me up, to more than I could have ever been without them... Tonight, I rediscovered old messages I...

Preludes to Something Greater

Happy July, everyone! Lately, I've had the opportunity to struggle with some things that have tested my patience to seemingly no end. I think of myself as a generally very patient person and cannot imagine why I would need more. However, the fact that I'm struggling with it just shows me that I do. Heh :) I'm gradually learning that I'm being prepared.  Because, often, the Lord has a plan in the works that we cannot fathom at this time, a plan designed to help us reach our full potential as sons and daughters of a Heavenly King. To demonstrate this, think of baby things... When a baby otter (cuteness!) grows up, it becomes an adult otter; when a human baby grows up, it becomes an adult person; when we, as spirit children, grow up, we will become like our Heavenly parents--gods and goddesses. For us to reach that high point, the Lord allows us to have experiences that will mold us into what and who we can eventually become. This is truth. And I...
