This
old farm snapshot of mom in her teens brought a smile today. I
could see she had the stubborn old bull by the reins. A reminder to take the reins of my life or someone else would. Often mom found
humor when faced with a challenge. Rather than let fear take hold, she
would take the bull by the horns, and hold her ground. Her faith that things will always work out for the best brought wonderful demonstrations. Mom always had great enthusiasm for life...When life takes a turn, it's easy to lose enthusiasm, especially when things taken for granted lose their grip. Our world is accelerating at such a warp speed, our heads are spinning. The Angel of Enthusiasm advises that enthusiasm is a choice. So don't let ego fear, doubt, and despair block the good available now...today. This moment will not come again, so make friends with it. Find some little jewel of joy...be grateful for all you know and have learned. You are not alone but in the presence of holy angels.
I'm reminded that ENTHUSIASM is a choice.
Even when we don't feel like it, we can choose to be helpful, positive, and flexible. We can pray to have more strength, courage, endurance, and peace. Scripture teaches in all circumstances to give thanks. Take time to remember how God delivered you from trials in the past, and speak favor over your current situation. Your word will not return void to you. Nothing is impossible with God. Keep on expecting the best and stand in faith. This too shall pass.
May the Angel of Enthusiasm inspire you today with a word, an idea, a touch of nature, or the loving-kindness of those around you. May you become an Angel of Enthusiasm for others.
Love and joyful blessings,
Rae Karen
