Stress Less

How do I stress less?
Will meditation do it?
Find stillness is me.

Luke 12:22

“Therefore I tell you,
do not worry about your life,
what you eat,
or about your body,
what you will wear.”

Clasp your hands and pray
Ask God for peace, joy, guidance
Just be still and know

Know that God is there
Filling your heart, hearing prayers,
Really listening

We can take the time
Peace and calm are within grasp
Seek serenity

Move forward with peace
Pass it along to others
Pause and stay focused

Meditation is
Time set aside to focus
Beware your focus!

Focus on being loving
Not stress and anxiety
Let peace be your core

If you are so inclined, listen to Hope Darst sing “Peace Be Still” …
and be inspired!

I will trust the voice I heed…
that is my focus on my Lord who calms the seas
and He calms me when I let faith rise up in me.

It is my faith that
Lets me slough off any stress
And live in God’s peace.

I hope you can do that, too.

Have a wonderful weekend, my friends.
What will you do to bring less stress into your life?

Thanks for visiting JanBeek
See ya tomorrow (God willing)

Bye for now

Is Being Good Worth It?

I never regret
Being good to good people,
But how ’bout scoundrels?

It’s hard to be good
To the rascals in our lives;
They’re good-for-nothings

Don’t want to be nice
To the thief or vagabond –
Incorrigibles

The mischief-maker
And the no good scalawag
Deserve my disdain.

What was that you said?
I should practice what I preach:
Love one another?

Boastful liars, cheats?
People running us amuck??
I gotta love them???

Wellll, alrighty then..
This ain’t gonna be easy!
I’ll give it a try.

Sometimes it’s so hard
Because the outrage is real.
Do you understand?

The outrageousness
Of crazy people’s actions
Makes being nice hard!

Do those scoundrels care?
Do they have stories to tell?
Can I listen well?

Maybe listening
Is the kindest thing I do.
Love one another!

Will you join with me?
Yes, being good is worth it.
Be the change you want

to see.
