Be happy! It is important to smile throughout your day. No matter what ups and downs happen in your day it is important that you take it in stride. 

Keep in mind that certain challenges in life can make us grow stronger in faith. Always remember there are people out there who are probably going through situations worse than yours. 

You may have experienced difficult times in the past, but you learned how to cope and deal with those circumstances. It is not easy trying to cope with ongoing overwhelm and emotional stress. 

But Jesus replied, “Rather, happy are those who listen to God’s message and keep it.” Luke 11:28 

Remember to appreciate each day! Every morning that you open your eyes in bed you should be grateful for a brand new day full of new opportunities. Be thankful and think of your blessings. 

Take a look out of your kitchen window or step outside and take a moment to appreciate all of the beautiful creations in nature that God has blessed you with in life. 

I really enjoy the natural entertainment from the singing birds in the Spring, along with the adorable rabbits and funny squirrels!

“May God, who inspires our hope, grant you perfect happiness and peace in your faith, until you are filled with this hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” Romans 15:13

Although, I know I should not worry and trust that God is looking out for me. I should try to fear not and keep the faith. It is wonderful to read, study and talk about the Bible, but it is even better to be a living example as a great role model by doing good work pleasing to God and keeping all the commandments. 

You should be ready to answer questions or direct others to helpful resources about your faith. You can use your God given skills to help others. Your actions could encourage, inspire and motivate people. 

“Do your utmost to show yourself true to God, a worker with no reason to be ashamed, accurate in delivering the message of the truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15 

Share your God given knowledge and skills. Maybe you could even teach Sunday school, if you are qualified. Remember to never brag or boast about helping others. Always show kindness, patience and gratitude. Don’t gossip, argue or criticize people. Use tools that God made available for all your jobs. 

“Therefore, as God’s people, consecrated and dear to him, clothe yourselves with tenderness of heart, kindliness, humility, gentleness, forbearance; bearing with one another, and, when there is any ground for complaint, forgiving one another freely. As the Master freely forgave you, so you must forgive one another.” Colossians 3:12-13

I mentioned so many ways to help others, but now it is time to take good care of yourself! Homemakers and working moms devote their time to meal prep, groceries, cooking and cleaning. God wants us to take care of ourselves. Make time for yourself to rest up so you have enough energy to do your everyday responsibilities. 

Try to routinely get restorative sleep, good nutrition, relaxation, fresh air, sunshine and exercise. Read books, do hobbies, study, write journals and use planners. You may want to rest on Sunday’s, if possible. 

“Come to me, all you who toil and are burdened, and I will give you rest!” Matthew 11:28
