Live Laugh Love

I find myself needing to remind myself of these three choice words "live.laugh.love". Live for the day ahead of you, laugh at the good & bad, and love the Lord & others with all your heart. Crazy how if I say those three words to myself I can change my attitude for the rest of the day.

Whether its someone forgetting to listen before speaking, someone being quick to anger, someone in authority forgetting to be an example, someone too tired to give a smile, or someone saying i hate you instead of i love you.... I just think people get in the rush of life and the worry of whats tomorrow to remember to be true representatives of God's love. I have to often times remind myself, especially with a retail job like I have, to tell myself to not let others bring me down or as my lovely co-workers and boyfriend tell me "kill the 'em with kindness".

I remember one day there was a pretty rude older lady who had no patience for me and I could feel in my heart that I shouldn't be quick or short with her in return, instead, I leaned over my counter and put my hand on hers and said "I'm sorry I'm all yours, explain just exactly what you'd like" She looked up at me with teary eyes and smiled....20 minutes later what she needed was done. I barely remember what she wanted done but I just remember her sharing with me before she left that her husband had passed away and he did everything for her and she felt lost without him. I hugged her and as she walked away I thanked God for being in my heart and letting me know I needed patience and love in that moment.

YOU never know what people are going thru in their lives. Smile at a stranger walking by, open a door for an elderly couple holding hands, give a free copy to someone struggling to pay bills, tell someone you'll pray for them, tell someone every day how much you love them. Time flies, love grows and dies, laughter never ends.

"LIVE LAUGH LOVE" 

--& if you can't do either of the three give it to God...go to sleep, wake up the next day and try again...
