BIBLE ~ Matthew 5:15-16 New International Version (NIV)
Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others,that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
LET IT SHINE ~
Your life becomes an example to others
Philippians 4:4-8 New International Version (NIV)
4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
LET IT SHINE ~
Your life becomes an example to others
Have you ever known that person who just seems to shine all the time? The one who smiles, has positive things to say and lives the best life they can? I certain know people who carry this character and decided to follow Jesus no matter what happens. A positive attitude shines through the darkness and gives life to other. Yet, let me say this, that person still goes through things of life. There are ups and downs for each of us. There are no perfect people, but there can be peace in a life no matter what happens. Some people decide to let a positive attitude shine during all seasons of life. Life isn't always easy and we must realize that for each other. Behind the scenes of life, is a story.

Sunflowers ~ I googled the word sunflower and got this:
There is more to sunflowers than meets the eye. While they are stunningly beautiful, they are are rich
in history and meaning. Sunflowers symbolize adoration, loyalty and longevity. Much of the meaning of
sunflowers stems from it's namesake, the sun itself.
I always knew I loved sunflowers, but there was more to it's meaning for sure. The story of my life is filled with ups, downs and things you wouldn't believe. That's part of why I decided to start a blog called, "You Don't Even know" or put it all together to look like this, "youdontevenknow". I have learned that my example shines greater than I might realize in life. Pointing people to kindness and living the word of God. Putting on the character of Jesus and doing my best daily to help others. How about you? Are you shinning the best you can daily? Sure there are things that bother us, frustrate us and mold us. Let the molding be by God and our example of him in all things. Purpose this a good day.
My thoughts and prayers continue for you, your family and friends.
