Judge Not

I judge not for:

It is never between me and them,
but between me and God,
and between God and them.

Planting Gentle Words

Happy Thanksgiving to all who reside in the United States. Blessings of Kindness and Prosperity to everyone all over the world.

Plant Gentle Words...Peace will bloom. Peace begins in one heart. These are the slogans for my inspirations at Kathy's Kindness Shop. Twenty five percent of all proceeds go to charities to fight hunger. You may visit at www.cafepress.com/kathymik.

Examine your thinking. Gentle thoughts become gentle words and become gentle action. Watch peace begin to bloom. Let us plant gentle words and reach out our hearts in kindness. Judgment has no place in hearts filled with love. Be kind to all for you never know when you may be entertaining an angel.

Judgment and chaos are rooted in fear. As light dispels darkness, love dispels fear. Love prevails all. There is no fear in love. Let us love, hope and serve. God's peace begins in one willing heart. God's peace to all this day and forever.

A Remedy of Gratitude

This morning I woke up to slippery roads and snow. I got all upset because since I am not the expert in driving in snow I prefer not to drive in snow. I was quite angry because the snow had once again upset my plans. Since we have moved to Maine in 2003, I have become to h.a.t. e. winter and any form of precipitation associated with winter. All I wanted to do was go home to Massachusetts where life was so much easier and less stress. I began to cry.

Let me explain crying is a normal part of my week. I am going through menopause and I usually have a couple of crying episodes per week. Usually they only last a couple of minutes before my mood changes to a happier one. This morning I felt like crying a little bit longer as I felt the sting of homesickness. I decided it was time to write in my gratitude journal. Boy was it hard to find gratitude through my stubborness. Finally the gratitude broke through.

What a relief! The gratitude changed my mood and lifted the heavy weight off my shoulders. Even the snow looked a little bit pretty. Gratitude lifted my spirit and dried my tears. What a wonderful remedy!
