TO READ OR NOT TO READ

I have had others tell me they don't have time to read or they don't like to read. From what I have learned in the past two yrs I don't have time NOT to read! For 15 minutes a day I set my timer (optional) and read. Something that will help me grow into the person I feel God wants me to be! A wife and mother or whatever else. Right now I am reading the book Aspire by Kevin Hall. It is good and gets me to thinking! Also reading a few verses from the Bible during my reading time is essential to a women filled with Grace and Beauty. As to not liking to read,well..... I HATE to wash the dishes but I do it every day and am a better woman because of discipline (I hope) (= I haven't 'achieved' by no means,tho!
I know not everyone is called to the same task so dream big, set goals, read anything you can that will help you and LETS GO! (=

Genshai

Genshai (GEN~shy) means to never treat another in such a way as to make them feel small. Hmmm, new word to me! And do I use it in my daily life? Not the word but the meaning of the word!?
 It would be offering my child a glass of water,stooping to his level and offering with love and a smile, when he asks for it. It is similar to the word Charity but is Charity done with love and respect.
 It is believing that we are all brothers (regardless of race or age,created by the same God) and acting on that.
 We can serve others,that's what life is all about, but do we treat ourselves with respect? I must respect myself before I can respect others! The way I feel about myself will tell in the way I treat others!
 Note to self; Genshai has no part of selfishness in it!
 Live, LOVE and be blessed!
