Step by step…

Good Morning ☀:)☀
Every journey in our lives requires us to take steps. To start the journey, we take the *first step*.
Sometimes we are required to *back step* when it’s overwhelming.
Other times we are required to *step it up* to keep the journey going.
Most importantly is that we *watch our steps*
Wishing you a wonderful day 🙏🙏​

Soldiers…

Good Morning ☀:)☀
As soldiers in this battle zone of life, we are always to be on the lookout. 

Our listening skills ought to be sharpened in a way that we hear what others miss.

Our sight has to be keen to see things that are normally overlooked.

We are never to be so submerged in life, that we’re unable to keep our head and shoulders cleared of it and our eyes free to look upward. 

We must have a deeper sense of responsibility.
When we do not acquire this level of awareness and watchfulness, we endanger our lives; our whole life.
Wishing you a fulfilling day 🙏;)🙏

Energy… 

☀🙏🏽☀🙏🏽☀🙏🏽☀🙏🏽☀🙏🏽
Sometimes we use up our energy looking after the needs of others.
Other times we use it up focusing on what’s happening in others’ lives.
If we channel more of our energy in meeting our own needs and focusing on what’s happening in our own lives; we’d be a happier self. 
Wishing you a marvelous day ;)🤗:)

Quiet moments…

Good Morning ☀:)☀
Ever so often, life gives us a moment when everyone or everything around us becomes quiet and still. 
The only things we experience in that moment are the sound of our own heart, our own vibration and our thoughts.
These moments are important and necessary. They’re given for us to become more aware of our rhythm, our selves. 

Otherwise you’ll never understand you.
#QuietTimes #LearningTimes #Reflect #Review #Revise #Restructure #Renew
Wishing you more quiet moments 🙏;)🙏

No grudging…

Good Morning ☀:)☀
Sometimes we hold grudges and let them consume us. This causes us to have unhealthy relationships with others.
Unhealthy; never works out right.

Avoid grudges. 
Things happen, people do things that hurt us, but life goes on though and we shouldn’t tote ‘unhealthy’ baggage with us.
Get it off your chest, the chest only has room for a healthy heart; a heart of love.
I live in a #NoGrudgeZone

Do you?
Wishing you a splendid day 🙏🙏

The Four Crowned Martyrs

THE FOUR CROWNED MARTYRS

According to tradition the Four Crowned Martyrs (d. 305) were renowned sculptors in present day Austria-Hungary. They were commissioned by the Emperor Diocletian to make several sculptures, but when he requested a sculpture of the pagan god Aesculapius for a heathen temple, they refused to carve it. They were exposed as Christians, and, when they refused to sacrifice to the pagan gods to save their lives, were condemned to death by being placed alive in lead caskets and cast into a river. The Four Crowned Martyrs are closely associated with an earlier group of four soldiers, also killed during the persecutions of Diocletian two years before, who died by being beaten to death with leaden clubs after refusing to sacrifice to the god Aesculapius. Because their names were originally unknown, they were called the Four Crowned Martyrs. Their relics were first venerated in the Roman catacombs before a basilica was erected in their honor on Caelian Hill. The two groups of martyrs, both called the Four Crowned Martyrs until their names were afterward discovered, are honored together on November 8th.
