I have found that kindness is a joy that both feeds the soul and nourishes the body. Kindness and its accompanying joy will actually give you a longer life. Kindness removes stress, sadness and depression. It removes bitterness and anger.

These emotions - sadness, depression, bitterness and anger have all been proven to shorten life. They put much stress on the body. Kindness does the opposite - it will not only lead to a longer life, but it will lead to a longer life, full of God's blessing and favor.

I have found that kindness in the workplace is contagious and will lead to a more positive work environment.

If you can start every day with a commitment to kindness your life will change dramatically. Try it today, try it tomorrow - it really feels good.

Most Magnificent Father, I send all my love up to you,
that your day will be filled with peace, joy and laughter.

You are truly the Great God of Israel and an incredible friend.
I love you with a love that is true. That is I put you, your
desires and your needs above everything else.

I lay myself in your hands and trust you with my very life.
I have complete faith in your ability and desire to supply my every need.

My desire is to be a sweet sound in your ears, a sweet sight
in your eyes and a sweet thought in your mind.

I wish to be a blessing to you, every minute of every day.
You are much, much more than a god.
You are a god who is filled with goodness, kindness, love and mercy.

You are tender and gentle. You laugh and cry with us.
You have the power to create the heavens,
yet the tenderness to gently touch a single hair on our head.
You are slow to anger and quick to forgive.

I wish to be your child, a member of your family.
I will be a child who will bring joy to your heart and a smile to your mouth.

Most Magnificent Father, I pray that your day will be blessed
and that all of your children will bring you laughter and joy.

Oh, Lord, I pray that today and every day, I will walk in your path,
hear your voice and speak your words.

Thank You for being my loving Father and accepting me as your child.
I pray this to You The Father, in The Name of Jesus, AMEN!

Dear Heavenly Father,
I cast all fears and doubts aside.
I re-establish my complete faith
In your desire and ability to meet all of my needs.
I pray this in the name of Jesus, Amen

Love is an emotion that, in order for it to be real, must originate in the heart or soul, and must be accompanied by action. Many people use it freely as a word, but do not stop and think about the meaning.

If you say that you love someone, it means that you are placing the importance of that person above yourself. If that isn't the case, then it is not a true love. Talk is cheap and many people use the word love when they really mean that they like that person a lot.

When I say that love requires action, I mean that it requires sacrifice and compromise. If you love someone with a true love, you are placing that persons needs above your own. You are willing to compromise your own desires in order to assure the joy of the one you profess to love. It means that you are willing to sacrifice something of value to you, in order to show your love.

It is only an empty word without those attributes. There are so many divorces today because young people are getting married for the wrong reasons. There are getting married out of lust, or because they like each other. It is not really their fault. A liberal society has redefined the word so it no longer means love at all.

A couple who marries out of true love will have a marriage that lasts forever. You see these couples who are celebrating 40, 50 and 60 year anniversaries? They are always asked: "How do you stay together that long?" The answer is simple - true love.

There have been times when life seemed so meaningless.  As God puts me through these trials, I will sometimes look towards the heavens and ask Him to replace my sadness with joy. He sits quietly, for at the time, it is serving the purpose of the trial for me to be sad. 

I have discovered an amazing way to receive joy even when God refuses to share his with me. As I have consecrated and matured spiritually, I have become one in spirit with God. One day I was driving home from work, feeling down due to what I have been going through.  It suddenly hit me, that His joy is also my joy.  I started praising him and loving Him.  I started singing to him and telling him how wonderful he is.  As He delighted in what I was singing, I felt my joy return. And it stayed for the rest of the day.  

So, when you feel down, when you feel like things just couldn’t get any worse, starting loving God.  Praise Him, sing to Him, tell Him how much you love Him.  Your joy will return and things will not seem so bad.

SAY THIS PRAYER WHEN YOU RISE
IN THE MORNING FOR A BLESSED DAY

that it will bring a smile to your mouth

I pray that I will walk in your path,
hear your voice,
and speak your words today.

you joy and laughter today.
