I am Blessed

Friday, March 02, 2012

I know I promised a blog about my case study...but that's a long winded one, so here's a short one, because...I am blessed.

I really had a hard time last year. July to October was a real "crash" time for me. But I did take to heart some great and godly advice from some dear Spark Friends. I found a godly counselor and started in October. I have grown leaps and bounds. And through my lessons, new communications skills, accepting my feelings and past, I am learning to love me. And in loving me, I can accept my husband's love and compliments without a jaded hurt. I am learning to live in a consciousness that is free, full of laughter, feeling pretty and special, being me, being creative, being who God made me. I am seeing a glimpse of how wonderfully God sees ME. I am truly blessed!



Today's search on the butterfly post absolutely blessed me and spoke about where I'm at and about speaking "the language of blessings and love":

First, you must RECOGNIZE all of your blessings. This happens in your mind. You recognize God’s voice of love as he speaks blessings into your life.

Second, you feel GRATITUDE for those blessings in your heart. Those blessings make the trip from your head to your heart, and now gratitude wells up inside. It feels good to know that each blessing is an expression of God’s love and care.

Third, you GIVE THANKS to God who has given you his special favor. This is the moment when you talk to God and thank him for all that he’s done on your behalf.

Fourth, you PRAISE GOD for all your blessings. Praise is a reminder that God is the Source of all good things, and that there are no shortages in God’s kingdom of love. Praise refocuses your mind on God’s love and care. From http://positivebutterflies.com

This is how to spend the day in wonderful moments!

    I've always loved the "blue butterfly" and the symbolism it holds:

Butterfly as Christian Symbol
Butterflies are often viewed as a Christian symbol of resurrection and rebirth of Jesus Christ. Many Christian churches utilize the symbol of transformation from a human life to everlasting life. Blue butterflies are used not only for their beauty but also to convey the emotions of beauty, joy and hope. Butterflies are sometimes released at special Christian services, such as weddings or funerals, to commemorate a transformation.

When I was having a particularly rough day one day several years ago, and down in the dumps about Eric's autism I found a little glass blue butterfly in our grass in the backyard. It was unbelievable timing and know it was a message sent to me from my Nana up in heaven to stay strong! thanks for a beautiful post :)
