Boundaries?

Having boundaries doesn't mean you dislike someone. It simply means you deny access to your heart when someone in your life creates confusion, chaos, or constant criticism.  It doesn't mean you don't love them, it means you are confident your God is working on your behalf to work out a situation that is beyond your control.  You give space and time for God to work.  We can't fix or change people, or make them behave a certain way. It's ok. When Adam and Eve broke the law that had been established. God moved them out of the garden and he placed angels there to keep them out! He didn't stop loving them. God IS big enough to handle your problems.  Let Him. Love Jackie

It's all hard

It's all hard. From trying to keep our dishes under control so we can eliminate our obvious ant infestation, to mounds of laundry, going to work and getting everything back in working order week after week, dealing with grief and family, AND all of my obligations at church.......which are numerous. Trying to be sensitive to everyone's needs and feelings and keeping control of my own, not being harsh or cruel by telling people what I really think.....It's all hard. So how do we possibly do it all AND have a good attitude. Give yourself some grace. To get it all right every time isn't going to happen. To get it right even some of the time is a blessing..... Soooooooooo, Have the coffee, listen to your favorite song, fall in love with Jesus everyday. Take a bath, floss your teeth, put on your wig and try your best.😀 That's it. Everyday.  I love you. jackie 

Christmas inspired

Christmas Season for me, is all about highlighting the things of Jesus I love the most.  Trying to bring to life the very story of Christ in His birth, burial and resurrection. One of the ways we can do that is to bring the different scents and lights of Christmas right into the story, take the time and allow your children to experience the different scents and enjoy the lights they will always remember.  *the Legend of the Candy Cane  *the Gifts of the Wise men *The woman with the alabaster jar.... Talk to your children about how we are lights in an ever darkening world.  How each child has their own fragrance and light they are meant to share. I love you so much, Enjoy the Holiday Season.

Teachable

Teachable  "See that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;" Proverbs 24 Sure, you've been around a few years,and been through many experiences.   There is always more to know and understand.  Open your eyes and your heart to the things of God. No one knows all except  God. Ask God what He would have for your life! Who He would have you reach out to.  Open the eyes of my heart Lord, I want to see YOU! ~love jackie
