My life is now an influence on others and I see the importance of my example. Hope you see the importance of your example too. I like to volunteer at my granddaughters school. Not only do I influence them, but other children and adults. I also learn from kids and adults in life. My granddaughters learn so much and as I listen to teachers, I learn somethings too. Big words that were hard for me as a kid, are still hard as an adults. Yet, I learn the meaning of new words I never heard by teachers and by my granddaughters.
Learning becomes a daily things for each of us. Let us learn how God words can come alive to our minds and souls. Scriptures lead us and gives us peace.
Matthew 5 New International Version (NIV)
Introduction to the Sermon on the Mount
Now when Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, 2 and he began to teach them.
The BeatitudesHe said:
3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
5 Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.
7 Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called children of God.
10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Learning is important and our actions is even more important. Be kind and share the love of God to others. Be kind to yourself and forgive yourself over things you can not change. This is a new day and God has purpose greatness for you. Looking into the plan of God for your life and see how far he has brought your life. My thoughts and prayers continue for you, your family and friends. Be confident of this, God's love remains the same and he has put people around you to spur you on in life. Purpose this a good day.
