Shop till ya drop

Lately I have been going to drugstores to shop for household items and have been saving some money to put toward other bills. I am so excited! I will never pay retail price for those items again. I am talking about laundry detergent, toilet paper, toothbrushes and cleaning supplies. I feel silly shopping at drug stores for those kind of items, but I don't feel silly when I see what the final total is.
There is nothing that excites me more than to help save a few dollars.
  I don't know of anyone right now who couldn't afford to save some money on their bills, especially at Christmas time! Christmas time is difficult for more people than you might realize. It depresses some and that shouldn't be,but it's so true.  When you find items really cheap on your next shoppping trip, try to think of a person who could really use those products. It might be an older person or a younger person in college that doesn't have much money to spend.  You would be surprised at how little gestures like that could brighten someone's day.
   This year instead of giving to a child over seas, I decided to donate some clothes to a lady in the nursing home.  I found just what she had listed at a store that was going out of business. Actually, I was able to give a little bit more than what she had asked for because the items were found at a discounted price. I wish I could have delivered the clothes but it was through a local organization. However you can donate the items yourself as well. All you have to do is go to your local nursing home and ask who doesn't have much this year and they will tell you.I just saw this lady's name on a tree and thought that was a neat idea.  So this Christmas, try to donate to someone local,instead of helping someone in another country. #happySunday#beblessed

Ten Ways I Stay Motivated

1.  Start the day with prayer or meditation. 2. Brew a good cup of coffee. 3.  Go over my list of goals. 4.  Set new goals ones the old ones are accomplished. 5.  Listen to motivational podcasts or youtube videos. 6.  Read biographies of people who have survived cancer or some amazing trauma.  This helps to remind me that no problem is too big for God. 7.  I try to look in the mirror and say affirmations every morning.  Some of these affirmations are the same ones and some are different.  8. Try to keep a good, constant routine. 9.  Write or draw in my journal. 10.  Reward myself for accomplishments.  After all, you deserve it. Hope you have a wonderful week !!

Terrific Tuesday

2 Peter 1King James Version (KJV) 1 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: 2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; 6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; 7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. 8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall n...

Fantastic Friday

1.Psalm 16:11 11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fullness of joy ; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. 2.Psalm 119:35 Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I delight . 3.Proverbs 4:26 Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established. 4. Psalm 18:36 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip. Psalm 119:5 O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes! Ah! It's here! The weekend? What have we done this week that would glorify God? What have we not done to shine our lights? What could we do more of next week to bless another person? Have you asked God to show you someone to give a Blessing to? Do you watch people or do we have our mind always on ourselves? It's important that we realize the difference between selfishness and being happy. Being angry does not help our situation. If you want to torment the Devil, we need to praise God for every situation. S...
