RECENTLYHi Friend!
You know that point when you're just about to blow & that little voice reminds you to "take a deep breath & count to 10"... Well, if you are anything like me, your flesh starts to scream - I don't want to count to ten! And follows with something like this: "I'm right, their wrong, and I'm going to tell them so"; or "Don't tell me to count to ten, these kids are driving me crazy"; or any other number of selfish things that I hope I'm not the only one who thinks them!
I got to thinking one day that if I could use that concept but take it a little further so that I got my mind on God instead of just numbers it might really help. I was inspired to use the Fruit of the Spirit as a guide to help me focus on what is really important instead of my present circumstances. Here's what I came up with:
One Precious Love
Two Joyful Hearts
Three Spirits of Peace
Four (for) All Who Know Him
Five Patient Looks
Six Kind Words
Seven Acts of Goodness
Eight Faithful Prayers
Nine Gentle Snuggles
Ten Ahh....Self Control
Unfortunately, I wrote this in a notebook that got tucked away in our move & I forgot all about it. Now I'm going to make it really big & hang it on my refrigerator! I hope maybe it'll help you & I get through some of those tough situations we face throughout the days.
Much Love,
Kerri
