Grateful for a good reading this morning:

Quote:

How we treat the people we live with affects the happiness of our family. Just as a breath can blow out a flame, a mean remark can cast a shadow across a brother or sister's heart. People of all ages have left dreams behind because no one encouraged them. They are like candles snuffed out.

On the other hand, if we see a friend or family member feeling good about something they have done, we can learn to be happy for them. If we notice their excitement and encourage them with kind and sincere words, it will help their candle burn brighter. Sharing the happiness of others will make our own candles burn brighter, and it always feels good when we receive kind words ourselves.

In what ways can I bring light and warmth with my words today?

Grateful i could walk away from someone who was being verbally abusive.
Grateful to realize their deeper rooted problems have nothing to do with me.
Grateful to have prayed about the situation and ask for courage to stand firm.
Grateful for the pain that forming a resentment towards the person was causing me.
Grateful to have told my Home Group that i'm feeling burned out with the GSR position.
Grateful i shared honestly about what i was going thru and what i was learning about myself.
Grateful that it touched a few people's hearts who talked to me afterwards & helped me to grow.
