How do you say HEART? True Beauty

Ezekiel 36:26  

²⁶ I will give you new hearts. 

I will give you a new spirit that is faithful to me. 

I will remove your stubborn hearts from you. 

I will give you hearts that obey me.

I can work on exercising my body

I can work on exercising my mind

I can work on exercising my spirit

but only my creator can give me a 

NEW HEART ! 

 Wow,  Think about that!  

I want a New something..... most eveything on me is ... well, not so new.... a little sagging, dropping, and wrinkling.  BUT, wow.... a new heart!  I'll take it.

That means when HE gives me a NEW heart, my body, mind and Spirit are Re-NEWED!

The Heart is the center of my being.  It's were I find my desires, hopes, dreams.... focus about life.  

My heart has been broken in the past - I'm mean REALLY BROKEN!  such pain I shouldn't wish on anyone.  

But, wow.... I have the opportunity to have a NEW Heart!  That means, NO SCARS.... 

it's strong and ready to be open to be loved and to love.

I love the song in the movie Funny Girl  "HIS LOVE MAKES ME BEAUTIFUL".  Ahhhh 

so true.

Ever see a bride that didn't glow!   How about the amazing look on a women who is so happy to pregnant!

WE ARE BEAUTIFUL when we have love in our hearts.  Beauty Starts INSIDE!  You can spend a fortune in time and money working on the EXTERIOR but TRUE beauty starts inside your soul!  

Nice to know I don't have to drink lemon water with syrup in it and starve for day's just to DETOX my heart.   Give it to the LORD - Have him examine your heart and then 

allow HIM to give you a NEW HEART.

What a treasure.  (this weeks theme in my mind.... seeking life's treasures)

Ya that's all I have to say today

Rome wasn't built in a day

What takes time is lasting!


This has been a year long journey.  Actually starting thinking about this one year ago, but really set my feet on the path January 1, 2010.

It's interesting the "journey".   I look back and recall some real struggles with making a change.

It's great to see my life blossom where I "without thought" (that's a good thing for me!)
make right choices.

It's great to see when I waiver on making the right choice - I now recognize where I need to make improvements.

Nothing good comes fast.  Kind of like microwave food!  It's fast, but is it really "good for you".

I see the strength I receive from "blogging" (journal, diary...).  There is no better joy to re-read my blogs.  I know that what I am saying is real in my blogs because I'm living it.

Victory belongs to the most persevering.

What you seek YOU WILL FIND -

Psalm 32:11  

 ¹¹ Rejoice in the LORD and be glad, you righteous; 

       sing, all you who are upright in heart!

 Here's a little story:

Instead of doing something I was hoping to do while visiting an amazing city... I was doing something that made someone else happy.  I knew I  had a choice to be happy or "cranky" about it.  If I chose to "pout" and complain....

 it would only upset the other person and NO one would be happy.  Plus, it then would be about me manipulating the situation, person with my attitude to "do what I wanted to do".  I changed my expectation and desires to just "enjoy" whatever!    I played the "Pollyanna" happy game.  It was wonderful.

I chose to make the most of this situation and found things to be "Grateful" for.... Like being with someone I loved and loved me. Being somewhere amazing... even if what I was doing wasn't exactly what I wanted to do. I gave!  and I received!

 I was blessed with peace and even laughter .   

Thank God we have the freedom to chose being Bitter or Better in any situation.

Being better is from choosing to have a grateful Heart.

Do you think this is True?

If you're looking for a "problem" - You'll probably find it

If you're looking for a  "solution" - You'll  probably find it

If you're looking to be "unhappy" in a situation - You'll probably find it

If you're looking for something to "glad" about - You'll probably find it

So, when you're faced with a situation  that isn't pleasant or not what you expected it to be... or stressful or  W H A T E V E R (you fill in the word) I suggest saying :

 "This is going to be great..."  

"I'm going to make this work"    

"I can do it"     

"I'm going to make this fun"

Universal truth about life:  You  usually get what you're  expecting  

What kind of person do you want to be?

What kind of person do you want people to see in you?

Ohh..... there was this picture on the wall in the restaurant we went to today of  

Jacqueline Kennedy  ... It made me think:  

I want to be a women of Grace and Elegance.

I don't think Grace and Elegance goes with Bitter and Complaining!  

 I do think a women dressed in a "Grateful Heart and Gentile Words"  is  the picture of Graceful and Elegant.

So   THINK what you want to have

Think if what you want to have (desire)  is Good, True, Lovely, Honest

Then

SAY what you want to have - Hear yourself saying and speaking thoughts and words that

reflect: JOY, LOVE, PEACE, PATIENCE and HOPE

Think it, Say it, Expect it!

Salute!  To your health and Wellness

PS

Just for the fun of it.... next time your having a mammogram ... play the "glad" game.  LOL
