Happy are Those that Give Life

These words came to me as I lay awake sleepless last night. They left me thinking & praying. May I be a woman who gives life. May I be one who speaks into others (even when I’m frustrated or hurt or I don’t understand). May I speak life into my husband, and into our boys when they don’t obey, and into myself (... now that can be another story). It all starts in my. Out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks. It’s what is on the inside that counts! It’s what I tell my kids all the time. It’s what I put into myself and into others that matters. Good in. Good out. Garbage in. Garbage out. 

This applies to every area of my life, doesn’t it? Physically- what am I eating? Garbage in. Garbage out... (or worse it’s stored! ). Mentally- It looks like me wasting time not owning it. Emotionally- It’s me overthinking a situation. Ever rethink a scenario more than once? Me, too. Jump off that ship right away.  

My point... “Happy are those that give life” starts with:
1) my heart. What’s my heart look like?
2) Then it spills out of my mouth (Yikes! ). What am I saying lately? Good and bad? Am I being a light even when I’m running late and my grocery order is wrong (and the substitutes were less than par)?? I want to be. 

May I be a woman that is willing to look at myself and breathe life into my circumstances and into others. 
The world needs some fresh air! We all need to breathe! I want to breathe the fresh air of life. I want to give life. Anyone else? 🧡
