WHO ARE YOU??? DO YOU KNOW????

 

 Hello and happy Gray's Anatomy and Private Practice night, I have enjoyed both of these dramas since they first began on night time television, as of late though it seems they get seedier and seedier, I don't think all fo the sex has to be a part of the show, sex is not a bad thing but the way they run from one to another is getting to be pretty tiring for me! What is your opinion?
     In prayer this evening I prayed as I always do, asking God for mercy and blessings for all those in need, I prayed with specifics in my heart such as illness, rehab, depression, addiction, pregnancy, feeling of lost and lonliness for our soldiers and for our country. I had several prayer request that I also lifted to God and was just ready to close my prayer when a very strong feeling crossed over me, it came so swiftly that I just sat here in awe! I know when this happens that it is a message that God is wanting me to speak on, I know that there is someone in need of it and I would never not write about it. Many times in my food for thought verse of the day I will read it and think, hum, really should I put this on up today, does it really apply, it is funny that those are the ones I get the most hits on and the ones I get the most comments on....just another proof that God knows what we need more that we ourselves know. As I sat there in meditation the thought crossed my heart that so many feel unloved and unappreciated, so many forget who they are by trying always to do for others, YES we are supposed to do for others but we must not lose who we are in the quest to be a pleaser. I went through many, many, years of my life being a pleaser, or as my daughter used to say a "peace builder" always winding up being nothing more than a door mat, I lost track of me, I wore masks all of the time to hide the hurt I would experience, I did for others until I could no longer do, took a break and then started all over again..I was the one you could always count on the "be" to "do" and never to complain...In my heart I was broken! Tonight I have a question to ask you..."Do you know who you are? " really do you? I pray that this always "pleasing" every one else has not taken over your life and I pray that you realize that you are of great importance and that you deserve time for you each and every day. I pray that you are afforded time each day to spend some quality time with God, when you begin to take time for a quiet chat with him, you soon will begin to find you again and oddly enough he will even help you begin to take off the masks, God does not intend for any one of us to be walked on, he does not intend for us to place everyone before us, he intends for us to "DO UNTO OTHERS" but remember the second part of this, "AS YOU WOULD HAVE THM DO UNTO YOU" Give your love freely and completely but also receive love freely and completely. God is good and he wills for each of us to be good..don't let others walk on you, stand tall and let everyone see the unmasked beautiful YOU!
