Life Lessons for Women ~ 7 essential ingredients for a Balanced Life

The Love Letter ~

Wow, write yourself a love letter. I have never had a love letter written to me. My younger son writes me little notes telling me how much he loves me and how wonderfully awesome his mommy is - yes that would can't as a love letter. Ok, close my eyes and see myself as the most glorious person in the world - really. Honestly, I would not want to be the ultimate beloved but I do get the point of what the writer is saying. We are to see ourselves as Jesus see's us and how other's see us.

When I close my eyes I see the love my boys have for me, how my friends look at me and how Jesus sees me as his precious jewel. Beleive me, it has taken a lot of work for me to get to this point.

Imagine going to your mailbox and pulling the pile of mail out finding a love letter. The thought of a love letter in my mail box warms my heart with much joy. What are you waiting for? I can already feel the warm fuzzies.

Find a comfy place to rest, brew yourself a cup of coffee or a favorite tea, grab a special piece of paper and a favorite pen, put on some soothing music, and begin writting yourself a love letter.

Talk about your special features like your eyes sparkle when the sun touches your face, your heart is warmed when your children love on you, etc....

Many of us ladies have made the same comment sometime in our life as this one "Most of you long for something more - more time, more money, more friends, a better relationship with your spouse or family. How many times have you heard yourself say, "I wish I had more time for myself"? "This stress is killing me." "I have to exercise and get in better shape." "I want my life to be more fun." "How am I going to make ends meet?" "Where has the day gone? I feel like I haven't gotten anything done!""

Take a look back over your life - not with a critical eye but look where you were and where you are now today. Ask yourself the following questions - What do I love? What are my core values and beliefs? What are my own needs and desires? How can I create a life that fits exactly who I am now, not who I've been?

It's time ladies to write yourself a love letter. I will be back on Friday with my letter to share. Be kind to yourself and love yourself as Jesus loves you. God bless you all!

Psalms 37:4 ~ The desires God placed in your heart were put there for a reason, they reveal the secret of who you really are and the life you are meant to live.
