Monday Morning Inspiration
Good Morning My Beautiful Link Sisters
I hope that your day is off to a great start. I am writing this message with a heavy heart. A heavy heart that goes out to all who have experienced family deaths and illnesses. A heart that almost leaves me with a loss for words today. However, I simply want to plead with all of us to “*Live every day to its fullest and Take no day for granted.” *
As I mentioned in Saturday’s Linkspiration, we have had the opportunity to share so much together; laughter, tears, fun, successes and so much more. It seems lately, there have been more tears, more concern, and more prayers needed and shared. That’s what sisters and friends are for; to support each other through the good and the bad, the happy and the sad. Ladies, we never have to go through hard and stressful times alone. P\lease know that it is okay not to feel okay and be okay all of the time. You have sisters and friends who love you, who will stand in the gap for you, who will be your leaning post and friends who are simply here for you.
There has been so much going on in our families, let’s please be reminded to stay in touch with family, friends, and other integral people in our lives. Let’s not take life for granted. When you think of family and friends, give them a call, visit them or simply send them a note “just thinking about you today.” I am simply reminding everyone to “*Live every day to its fullest. Take no day for granted.” * Once each day passes it is gone and we do not have the opportunity to relive it or change it in any way. So let’s try to live life to the fullest even when there are days with sadness, pain, and even regrets. Let’s live every day to the fullest *come what may.*
There is no way for us to prepare for all of life’s events. However, when there is loss, heartache, sadness, and setbacks it is key to remember that we are here for each other. *We are here for you, friends in spirit and sisters in the heart.*
Clearly, we are here for more than putting on great projects and working hard to serve our community. We are here for so much more as it relates to our friendship. Let’s continue to work hard, play hard, love hard and hold each other up. Let’s continue to do it all and *”Take no day for granted.”*
*Today’s Scriptures:*
*28 *“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. *29*Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. *30*For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. *Matthew 11:28-30 NIV*
*44*”Then they will reply, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison and didn’t do anything to help you?’ Then he will answer, ‘I assure you that when you haven’t done it for one of the least of these, you haven’t done it for me.'” *Matthew 25:44-45 NIV *
*10″*For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” *Ephesians 2:10 *
*Today’s Prayer*
God helps us to keep each other lifted up in prayer as we all go through the various stages of life and all of the things that life brings. God, we are your children and we know that come what may, you are there in the midst. While we do not always understand so much of what comes our way, we still trust and depend on you to help us through. We thank you for our friends in spirit and our sisters in the heart. We thank you for their support and their prayers. Father give us everything that we need to continue to stand in the gap for each other. Let us always be reminded to *live our lives to the fullest every single day and take nothing for granted.* In your son Jesus’ name, Amen.
