I came across this delightful little collection of buttons today, and I couldn't help but smile. Each one...bursting with color and cheer.
Imagine walking into your day with a handful of colorful reminders pinned to your heart instead of the weight of stress or doubt.
When I saw this bundle, I first thought, how cute they look, and then I realized that the pack is actually like a powerful punch of motivation. So, today I picked a few that spoke to me and I'm passing them out from my heart to yours.
1. You Matter:
Let that sink in. YOU matter! Not because of what you have done, but because of who you are. Created with care. Loved without condition. This world is better because you are in it and somebody, somewhere is standing taller because of your presence. You matter to me!!!
2. One Step at a Time:
This one belongs beside every to-do list. Don't worry about the finish line. Just take the next right step. God's word is a lamp to our feet, not a spotlight for the whole path. Trust the process. You're being led by a Faithful hand, and even the slowest steps are progress in His timing.
3. Mistakes Help us Grow:
Grace doesn't erase mistakes, it transforms them. What once felt like failure can become your greatest ministry. The crack in the vessel is where the light shines through, so learn....grow....and keep your heart wide open.
Keep your light shining.
4. Think Positive:
Be rooted in the belief that God is working all things for your good. Even Now!! Choose joy. Speak life. Let your hope rise louder than your fear. Be an encourager not only to yourself, but to others around you.
You all encourage me each and every day!
These buttons might be small, but they carry big truths. I know for me, I sometimes need a whisper to remind me who I am and who I belong to.
Today, I encourage you to pin one, pin five or pin them all on your heart. Walk boldly and be totally led by God, the one who walks with us and loves us.
Shug....💛
PS: Sam's radiation treatment is tomorrow and we will be at the hospital most all of the day. Please continue to pray for him.
What a beautiful post, Shug. These words especially, "God's word is a lamp to our feet, not a spotlight for the whole path." spoke to my heart. Thank you, sweet and dear friend. xx Praying for tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI think way too often Dianna, we expect God to do it all for us..Thank you for your prayers for Sam...I so appreciate them.
DeleteYour thoughts are just what I needed today! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteSo glad Kathy...I need to pick up a few of these buttons everyday and pin them on my heart.
DeleteThese are such positive buttons, Shug. I love them all. The one that spoke to me was "nothing is impossible" because I do believe that nothing is impossible with God. I just said a prayer for Sam, and I hope his treatments go well tomorrow. Take care of yourself, Shug, this will be very hard on you too.
ReplyDeleteSending an extra hug of love and care to you this morning.

ReplyDeleteIt just blesses me so, when I can wake up feeling positive. Thank you for your prayers...This is all new for us and Sam has a bit of anxiety which is only to be expected. I am thankful for all prayers.

These buttons and their messages are great! I love what you said about God's word being a light for our feet, not a spotlight for the whole path.
ReplyDeletePraying for you and Sam as you prepare for tomorrow and go through the day.

ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I am praying for Sam and for you all.
ReplyDeleteThank you for a wonderful positive post today. We need this kind of positivity in a dark and secular world today. Thank you.
About "Nothing is Impossible". The children have squeezed the whole tube of toothpaste. Do you know how to put the toothpaste back into the tube?
God bless you and yours.
Stock up on buttons while you can, since they are from China the price will be increasing. Ports of Seattle, Los Angeles are now down fifty percent cargo ships docking, empty shelves, shortages, inflation coming soon.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post. So positive and uplifting. Let me just say that YOU matter too and I'm so glad that we've become blog friends.
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely post. We've been managing prostate cancer since 2013. Quarterly treatments. All the best and big hugs!
ReplyDeleteOh Thank you for the buttons and the great message each one holds. We will be praying for Sam. You are a treasure and each of your posts so encouraging. Hugs
ReplyDeletePraying for you and your Sam.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the encouraging words and your beautiful blog.
