When you wake up in the morning, what is the first thing that comes to your mind. Sometimes it is just a continuation of yesterday, the thoughts that you were thinking last night before you made that last wink. Sometimes you start fresh and you think of new thoughts because your mind is made fresh by the 8 hours of sleep you had last night. Be positive each day. Be positive when you wake up. Pray to God in the morning. And thank Him for the wonderful sleep that you had last night. Pray to God for the peace that you felt last night while asleep and this peaceful morning that you have today. It's another of day of concerns and work and family affairs and friends affairs. Another day to live in the world.
When you welcome each day, stay positive. Laugh a lot. Me, I sometimes read the comic page of newspapers just to have a laugh. Just to lighten my spirits. Just to be happy. Have a dose of laughter. It's very precious. It's priceless. It's extravagant. It's just overwhelming. Laugh a lot and experience happiness. It could be watching a funny tv show. Or a sitcom tackling life and life's intricacies. Or read a jokebook. It will carry you away. Or maybe share a meal or cup of coffee with a person who may be your friend or family and share interesting, funny stories. Laugh a lot and experience joy in your heart.
They say laughter is the best medicine. You produce happy chemicals and make your body more healthy and sickness resistant when you laugh. Laugh in the silence of your hearts. Me, I may be watching an engaging television show, something that is light to my heart. Even though it is not literally funny, my mind knows that my heart in its silence is laughing because of the happiness and joy that my heart feels. It may be a religious tv show, or a funny show on tv, or a cartoon show, or a show with kids on who are so adorable and cute or it could be those gag shows such as Just of Gags, or Just for Laughs, or the Funniest Home Videos, or the ones with funny animals like the Funniest Animals on Earth. Engage yourself with funny stuff and you will not lack in laughter.
Laughter comes when you are content in your heart. When you are at peace with the world and yourself. And when you are at peace with God. It is God who gives to people the laughter that they have. It is God who gives happiness and joy to your heart. Don't be just happy when it is your birthday, as they say have a Happy Birthday. Be happy everyday! Laugh everyday! Life is prolonged when you laugh. Take life easy. Don't be so serious all the time in life. Just take it light. Have a happy mood. Laughter is better than moping with your problems. Laughter is better than being sad all the time. Laughter is good for your body. Laughter is good for your soul.
Laugh a lot and experience a difference in life. When you laugh you light up the world with your laughter. Everything becomes easy. A light heart could save a person who is sad. It could brighten up somebody's day. It could be an inspiration for some. Laughter when shared is also shared joy and happiness. And there's nothing like it. It becomes good company. Work becomes light when you are laughing. Have a sincere and true joy in your heart and lighten up others. Be positive and laught a lot!

When blessings come your way
God readily gives blessings to His children. There is nothing more loving for a Father to do than to provide for His children. God loves to give His children blessings. All our needs are answered by God. God's grace abounds. It is up to us to get them. It is up to us to welcome them. We have so much and God is giving us so much. If only we would open ourselves to Him. Sometimes, a guilty heart closes to God. Sometimes, when we are bad we couldn't see the shining God's grace. We have to avoid these blocks to blessings for we cannot enjoy God's good relationship with us if we have them. It is not good and so God cannot enter into our lives. Blessings from God are bountiful. We just have to open ourselves to Him.
We have needs. And the Father wants to give us more. The Father because He is our Father wants to give us everything we need. When we are hungry, we have food. When we are thirsty, we have drink. When we are cold, we have blankets and jackets and warm clothing and warm house. When we are sick, we have medicines. When we need love, there is our mother or father. We have our relatives and family. We have our friends and associates. When we need to feel there are other people to surround us. Everything that we need the Father provides for us.
But what if we need and there doesn't seem enough? What if when we are hungry there is no food? If we are sick, there is no medicine? When we need love, there is nobody. God wants you to trust in Him. Reach out and there will be blessings. Reach out and there will be love. Reach out and there will be somebody. We just need to trust. We need to have faith in Him. We need to believe. That God will provide. That God will give our needs.
The flowers are much greatly dressed than the garments of the kings and queens. The animals and the birds do not worry about the food to eat. For God provides for them. He does. And He does because He loves us. He created the world for us. And all its goodness. And all its richness.
Why worry? You are His child. How much more does He care for His children. Sometimes, we just need to understand some things that He wants to teach us to understand why sometimes His blessings seem to be delayed. The food is on the table. Why should you not feel like getting some or all that you wanted if it is freely given by the Father? Is it because you don't feel you deserve? Is it because you are uncomfortable with it? Is it because of guilt? Is it because you feel you're not ready? Remember, you are God's child. You get hungry and you need to get food from the table. Receive God's love for you. Receive His providence.
Life is much a happy experience when we welcome all that God gives us. He wants us to be filled. He wants us to enjoy. Have our heart's content. Blessings come in the form of food or water, houses, clothing, friends and family, and spiritual blessings such as peace, love, courage, wisdom, happiness, fortitude, humility. Receive God's gifts. And live a full life. It isn't just all about money. It is about love. And it is about God. And about you. Your relationship together. The life that you live in the world for Him. What have you got to offer Him back. For all the blessings. Maybe it is an exchange. That you want to give back to God something for the blessings that He gives to you. Give Him all you've got in exchange for the blessings. It is a wonderful relationship with Him. And be thankful. Be open. Be open to His love.

God allows people to make mistakes
God allows people to make mistakes in their lives. Man is so weak that God gives allowances for man to make mistakes. God intended the world for good but because of evil the world has become a place where people could make wrong choices. But God still understands the hearts of man that He understands man's weaknesses.
We as His people should strive to make a better world. We should aim for a better world to live in. We should be spending some time here in this world and so it is a like a test of will and courage. It is a test of faith. It is a world full of hope given by God. Man and God should relate to each other to form a wonderful relationship. A relationship where God leads us into His will because He knows what is good for us and what is good for the world.
God understands that we sometimes make mistakes in our lives. And so He cares for us. He corrects us in a gentle way. He corrects us with the lessons in life that we have to learn. To be at peace with our fellowmen. To be at peace with ourselves. And to be at peace with God.
Whatever problems that we meet on our way, God will take care of us. He will never abandon His children. He will not harm us. In all His goodness. In His fatherly love.
Lessons in life have to be learned. We do encounter our teachers in life and we learn the lessons that we have to learn. So that we will be good. So that we will have a full life. So that we will enjoy ourselves and each other. So that we will have a wonderful relationship with others and with God.
If there are mistakes that have been committed, we should be ready to forgive. We should be ready to forget. As God is ready to forgive us. God wants us to be good persons and to be like Him especially if we are now ready to become citizens of heaven in the future. Everything in heaven is good. We should be able to become worthy of the prize that God gives us in heaven.
