So often I hear the word "blessed" and automatically my mind travels to the financial
aspect of it. But I really have been thinking about this lately and I let my mind go on a whole different avenue. You see, David and I have so many things in our life right now that causes us to think that we are very blessed, right now one of those things is a fifteen year old son, whom David and I trust completely, because he has proved himself time and time again to be responsible and trust worthy, but not only that, even at the age of 15 he is not ashamed of our relationship that we have. You see I also drive a school bus for his high school so when the bell rings everyday instead of standing around and talking to his friends, he heads directly for my bus to see how my day went and to tell me about his. More often than not he hugs me and kisses me on the cheek and this is in front of all his friends. Then the last thing before he leave
s I have the privilege of hearing " Love ya Mom!"
Daniel is in JROTC and we went to his Military Awards ceremony and ball this past week. We could not have been more proud as he received several awards that evening. But to top it off, we got together to have pictures made and in front of the whole lunch room full of people, mainly his peers, these are the pictures that we had the opportunity to take.
All this makes me, as a mom, realize that when everyone starts talking about those awful teenagers and how they are pulling their hair out because of their teenagers actions, that I am truly blessed to be the mother of a teenager. Now some of you may have read another post that I have written
I personally think it's just a waste of time, but that's just my opinion! that talks about the words you speak. David and I both have always spoke blessings over our children, we speak the way that we want them to be, even if at the moment their actions may not be lining up. I truly believe this is why we have the children that we do today.
And this doesn't just pertain to your children?
It could pertain to anything you chose. What are you speaking regarding your marketing efforts, your cliental, your listings, your closings, your husbands and personal relationships?
I can think of one major thing that I constantly spoke negatively over and that was my weight, the more I said I was gaining weight, and that I just couldn't help it that I was hungry all the time, the more I ate and the more weight I gained. Now I haven't spoken it all back off yet, but I am definitely talking to it in a more positive way.
So what have you been speaking blessings over and seen it come to pass and what have you been speaking negative over and seen that come to pass also.
What would you change? You can increase your business by simply watching what you are saying on a regular basis.
Here's one last picture of Daniel and his beautiful date, Jordan. Both of the kids are firmly rooted in Christ and it shows in their everyday actions and attitudes.
