“So for the past month at work since this COVID-19..work has been slammed to say the least..our associates have worked extra hard to complete customers orders..and so in the midst of the craziness it has been..I keep finding myself drawn to the garden department..because in our garden department right now it is overwhelmingly so beautiful with all kinds of plants and gorgeous flowers..and as I walk through I can’t help but find the time to just be in a quiet moment with the Lord..Amen..through a simple prayer or a song..Amen..and in that moment my heart and mind begins to be filled with the goodness of the Lord..because how many of ya know that there is beauty all around us if only we open our eyes to see it..if only we take the time to look for it..God’s blessings and His goodness are there with us..Amen!”

“So I must say to each of us always find the beauty..always look for it in the midst of the mess..in the midst of the busyness..in the midst of life in and of itself..just look around you at Gods creation..look up into the sky..listen for the laughter..hear the whisper of the wind..hear the birds singing..for when we do we change the way we see things..and we change the way we deal with things that happen in life..Amen..so we keep ourselves in a state of gratitude unto the Lord..and really it’s that saying that I like to say a lot and that is let us help ourselves by helping ourselves..Amen!”

“For we want to be those bright and shining lights in the midst of confusion..in the midst of the hurts..in the midst of it all we want Jesus to be glorified..Amen..for the scripture says that we are the light of the world..a city that is set on an hill cannot be hid..and neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it gives light unto all that are in the house..Amen..so it tell us that we are too let our light so shine before men, that they may see our good works, and glorify our Father which is in heaven..Matthew 5:14-16..Amen..so I pray that wherever the Lord has placed our feet that there we will be a light for Him..that we will be shining ever so brightly..looking for the beauty..keeping on hearts and minds on Gods goodness and His blessings that He daily gives..for He loads us up daily with them..Psalm 68:19..Amen..for it in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go, and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
