... Goodness ...

" His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness."

2 Peter 1 : 3

This scripture is all we need to trust in and know that this life is not journey taken alone but one we share with our creator. 

If Christ has goodness in Him and He has given us everything we need ... then He has given us goodness.  Let us start to choose to act in this goodness and behave more like a people God would be proud of.  
'take off the old clothes and put on the new clothes'
Acknowledge and Thank God for His goodness toward us.

... random acts of kindness ...

Welcome to Friday GodMoments.  A day to reflect and share how God is moving in our lives.

Found this wonderful blog  www.givesmehope.com ... they have a section called random acts of kindness, which is all short stories about kind acts people have witnessed.  After just reading a few my hope and faith soared.  Thanks Emerson, Gaby, Henry and Dylan on an inspiring website.
Click on the picture link below (insert taken from random acts of kindness) to check out their site.

Life may seem gloomy some days but God uses every one of us to make an impact in someones life.

Today might be your day ... so keep your eyes and ears open.

... speak words of life ...

 Hey everyone ...

This week I am trying to watch my words and only speak words that bring life and encourage ... too often my first words can be negative and harmful ... so as I slow down and think before I speak, I am practicing some new phrases that will change the way I respond to people ...

• Is there something I can do to help you?
• You sound stressed ... what can I do to lighten your load?

With new words I hope to see an improvement in my kindness and compassion to others.

If you have any suggestions of good phrases to help in my kindness adventure let me know?

I wish you all a kind and compassionate week filled with words of life.

Be blessed and be a blessing

... International Women's Day ...

Welcome to International Women's Day ...

As women around the world gather together to support and encourage each other ... to build community and share experiences ... I celebrate you all for being spectacular and courageous. 
  
This year is the 100th year anniversary of International Women's Day.  Check out the UN WOMEN website and all the good things they do globally.

UN Women Goodwill Ambassador and Academy-Award winner Nicole Kidman describes personal experiences of seeing women change the world. “There are incredible testimonies of resilience, strength and dignity — and ultimately of hope,” she says. “This is why I say that the women and girls I have met are my personal heroes. It is my pleasure and pride to be with UN Women, the new, strong voice for women around the world.”

The work is never done until there is peace in every nation, every town and every home.

... Kindness ...

" Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as Christ forgave you."

Ephesians 4 : 32

Kindness and compassion are two peas in a pod and are perfectly matched with forgiveness.  God speaks often about relationships ...

• relationship with God  (Father,Son and Holy Spirit)
• relationship with people

All relationships go through testing times.  It is not always easy.  God does however promise to help us with all the skills we need.  The more time we spend with God ... the more we become like Him.  Ask God to soften those hard spots of unforgiveness and allow Him to develop in you a healing kindness.  Be kind to yourself and others. 

Share your kindness ... Think of someone who needs your love and encouragement ... send them the link below ... 

You have just passed on God's kindness ... It's as easy as that ... DONE!

... counting to 10 ...

 Hey Everyone ... Jewel wrote this great song 'Ten' about stepping back from situations and not acting irrationally ... not doing something you might regret ...

... what she speaks of are great tools to use ... breathing to keep calm ... stepping back ... stop and think ... count to 10 ... looking at the big picture ...

... often we fight the most with the ones we love ... try practicing patience and counting to 10 ...
