The Ten Commandments

11/17/2015

0 Comments

 
In an effort to do something uplifting with my teenage boys I sometimes do an internet search for positive videos for us to watch together.  Most of the time these kind of videos or at least the ones we stumble upon are only a few minutes long. I usually pick the first one and after we watch that one more times than not my boys want to watch more so I let them pick a few also for us to watch.

Oh, and did I mention that this is an evening activity for us. Since most of my family are movie / video / T.V. junkies (because I am one and created somewhat video addicts) this activity works well as a way to gather them and teach them with the perk of getting them ready for bed. Getting ready for bed and bedtime routines has always been difficult for my family. So any evening quiet time to talk or do something to whine down is always nice.

Anyway, we found this video on the Ten Commandments that we enjoyed. It’s not your typical Ten Commandments story with Moses but talks about how only a few of these Ten Commandments are seen as popular views today. But in truth, all of the Ten Commandments are needed today and I believe our societies and people today would be better off if ALL of the Ten Commandments were adhered to.

Personal Emotions

1/23/2014

 
I love these different emotion faces. For some reason whenever I see small colored circles with facial expressions on them creates a sense of happiness within me. I can't help but want to share them. For this alone I've realized that emotions are good enough to mention as a daily gift. Because whether or not we think as emotions as gifts, we are sharing them every day with all of the people around us. Have you ever thought that our personal emotions could be a blessing gifted from God? Well, they are, so I say enjoy each and every different emotion that you have. Life wouldn't be the same if we didn't have change and different ways to express our reactions. Once I was given a humorous parenting tip that everyone could benefit by using: when you see a little toddler stumble and fall down, smile at them, clap your hands and say yeah. Surprisingly, almost every time you do this the child's sad or questionable face changes to a smile. It's not necessary easy, but we can choose how we act and react and remember to go for the motto; onward and upward, without stepping on anyone.

Life

I have never met or heard of a person who doesn't like gifts.  Gifts help inspire happiness. We can find and give gifts everyday. One just  needs to look around and then with some thought one can discover all of the abundant gifts available for the giving and taking.

Without counting ... Life is one of our greatest daily gifts that we can have.

I grew up in Maryland and moved to Idaho to attend Ricks College, met my husband, and am happily a wife and mother of six children and 4 grandchildren living in Rexburg, Idaho
