The year held many challenges including nearly mourning the loss of my dear sister-in-law and three months this summer of sickness for me. I'm still trying to catch up on, well, just about everything. I think my year is best characterized by the phrase, "Better late than never.”
In the Holiday Letter I send with Christmas cards—completed yesterday—I enclosed this bit of advice that I want to share with you.
In the Holiday Letter I send with Christmas cards—completed yesterday—I enclosed this bit of advice that I want to share with you.
Be brave. Be bold. Love deeply. Laugh often. Think optimistically.
Accept the past, but do not let it limit your future.
You are a child of God and have the right to be happy, healthy, and successful.
Love yourself because you are lovable and worthy of being loved.
If you ever feel down and discouraged, tell yourself these magic words,
“I am worthy. I love myself and others love me. I love my life.”
Make those words your mantra by saying them often.
Like the pastor at our church always says in benediction,
“Go in Peace. Love God. Serve His Children.”
Takeaway Truth
Thank you for reading SlingWords, buying my books, and reviewing them. I'm truly grateful for your support. Merry Christmas—and Happy Holidays to those who celebrate differently.
