Heart Prints and Snap shots.

                               Heart Prints and Snap Shots


Are you going through life missing the Heart prints and snap shots of your life ? Do you move so fast that the beauty that is all around passes you by ? Do you notice the sunrise and the sunset ?  Are you living in such a manner that the most important things are passing you by ?

When you hear the sound of a baby cry are you irritated or do you see the innocent in the child and appreciate the sound of life and growth and newness !

Do you see the birds flying and the flowers growing ? Are you able to listen to the rain hit the window and the thunder crash high up in the sky? Can you appreciate the lighting strikes and the storms of nature, and the storms of life ? Are you able to take snap shots of your life and are you able to leave Heart Prints all around in all the things you do, the things you say ? Are you leaving behind a positive Print on those you encounter? Can you smell the sweet smell of the fragrance blowing past you as you walk through the garden of life?

Life is a snap shot . Life is a print of who you are , what you do, and say . How you think , live and love.

When we get older and we look back on the life we lived the only thing we have is the memories that we have created. Make sure they are filled with love and tenderness. Gentleness of spirit. We do not want to look back and have regrets.  Given a second chance to go back in time all of us would change the Heart prints and snap shots . We can start with that now. We can proceed in love and never place conditions and expectations on others.  Forgive often. Kiss slower. Hold longer. Talk softer. Play Harder. Sleep often.

We have one life to live and its not chasing things, material items, money , success , fame ! We are to love one another, the unlovable, the dirty , the lost, the hurting, the broken . Life is not about debt, and bills and working all the time. We have never seen a person on there death bed, say I wish I had spent more time in the office making more money .  We do hear regrets on love and loss. Wishing they had just one more day, one more moment to erase the wreckage of the fast paced lifestyle. Wishing we hugged longer and loved longer.

Heart prints and snap shots. What do yours look like ? Do you have a vault of precious memories to draw upon in your life that bring joy to your heart and to the heart of those around you ?

 
 
We are always given new Grace and Mercy daily . We have a choice to live and love deeply . Not love of this world , but a deep love that is From God.  Did you know that God loved you so much that he sent his son to die on a cross for you . That's right you where worth dying for.
We all have been told that I would die for you. However Jesus did.
 
Make today a new day, to take new snap shots and leave heart prints .
 
Psalms 112:6

For he will never be shaken; The righteous will be remembered forever.
 
 
Today is the day that you can turn from the past and change the snap shots of your life. Ask God to come into your heart and direct your steps. Will you do it perfect of course of course not, Jesus knew that we would fall and need him. If we did it perfect there would be not a need a for Jesus.
 
Please Consider what you do , think and say and how you love those around you, tomorrow is not promised. My prayer is that you look back on your life and not regret anything. Regrets steal Joy.
 
Be Joyful and free
 
Dear Lord. Forgive us and show us your will. Lead us to the living water so that we can drink and never thirst again. Thank you Lord for you are the master weaver of all things . Amen
