When
I
loved myself
enough
I began
to feel
a divine presence
in me
and hear
its guidance.
I am learning
to trust
this
and live from it

Maybe
I'm oldfashioned
but
Loving YOURSELF ? ? ?
always
far too busy
taking care
and doing the best I could .....
*
I learned
about
loving yourself
from my
ELISABETH
she has always had that
and said that
I LOVE MYSELF
AND I LOVE MY LIFE
hearing that
I always thought
............OH MY.........
she does NOT have that
from me !
*
only since
the last year
I am learning
trying to understand
how it works
*
now
I found this book
called
WHEN I LOVED
MYSELF
ENOUGH
and
I love
being inspired
by a book
*
What book
is your latest inspiration
and why ?
*
I love to know !

I am Catholic, Francis, but I love reading Joel Osteen's books. He is such a positive person, and makes sense in much of what he says. It is wonderful that Eliabeth loves who she is. I was the youngest child out of five, and it wasn't always easy keeping up with the others, but the one thing that I always had was love. Your Elisabeth is so special. I have tears in my eyes because when I hear that she loves herself, I know she has love for the world. May God bless your child, Francis.

Sounds wonderful my friend..we must learn to love ourselves...and to take care of ourselves. That is hard to do when we are always giving..giving ...giving.

HI Francis!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenIt's always so wonderful to visit you ~ your sweet inspirations make me smile. It sounds like you are going to really enjoy your new book. I just received two new ones:
Flea Market Finds {Matthew Mead} and "Calm My Anxious Heart" recommended by a friend at work that is using it to lead a women's Bible study group. So far, I am enjoying them!
I hope you had a wonderful Easter, Francis. You have a beautiful way of finding the good and the joy in many things. You do remind me to count my blessings ~ and you are one of them dear ♥
God bless you*

Ook vandaag weer inspirerende woorden Francis. Voor mijn zijn het de boeken van Sarah Ban Breathnach "Eenvoud in overvloed" en "Dat beetje meer" die mij op weg hebben geholpen. Het zijn mijn bijbels geworden. Echte eye openers... zo persoonlijk geschreven dat je denkt dat ze het alleen tegen jou heeft. Een vriendin die je handvatten aanreikt en luistert juist op de momenten dat je het nodig hebt. Houden van jezelf is niet egoïstisch! Ik wens je veel liefde voor jezelf.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenIf you love yourself first, then we can better understand others.....because that is HOW WE ARE. Yes, we need a healthy balance of self-respect so that we can honor what God has given us.....a reflection of Himself....have a wondrous journey my sweet friend, as you discover who YOU ARE. You are beautiful......Anita
BeantwoordenVerwijderenJa ben dol op boeken, van Toon Tellegen heb ik alleen "Misschien wisten zij alles". Ben nu de "Balsem voor de ziel boeken aan het herlezen, zulke hartverwarmende verhaaltjes. Heb net foto's gemaakt van boeken, zal ze binnenkort op m'n blog plaatsen. Fijn weekend!
