These Big 5

These things are hitting me lately.

✌️❤️🧀

5 big thoughts on life:

*I think God made this place, & these lives of ours, to be enjoyed a good bit.

*I think God really digs it when we’re solid & positive to one another.

*I think God keeps some of the biggest answers from us, for some reason on purpose…so we’re not supposed to dwell on those mysteries too hardcore.

*I think God helps us with any adventure or chapter we feel called to embark on…especially new adventures that involve us being better to ourselves, thus better to those around us.

*I think the end will work itself out…meaning…God will work our end out in his perfect way. We’re simply here to start fresh each day, & to enjoy each day, & to share blessings each day.

Captivated By…

The 13 things I’ve been most captivated by & drawn to personally on Planet Earth. This list does not include spouse & kids & family, which are obviously huge to me:

Great Living

I’m on a list kick again lately. Sorry! ✌️❤️🧀

(1) Being cordial & respectful to as many people as possible that you come across is great living.

(2) Standing up for people being bullied or hated-on for no good reason is great living.

(3) Minding your own business most of the time, & doing your own thing in life with the people you cherish, is great living.

(4) Working & paying your own bills as an adult, while taking care of the family you choose to have, is great living.

(5) Having some good fun throughout the days of your life, & taking time to enjoy the things you enjoy, is great living.

(6) Surprising some people around you with unexpected gifts/blessings, just to give them a caring pick-me-up, is great living.

(7) Saying some private prayers for people, lifting them & their needs to the aid & goodness of God, is great living.

(8) Knowing that God doesn’t ever need you worrying about doing more than these main neat things, because he’s got everything else covered for you, is great living.
