What I would tell him…
Embrace the flow, the splendor, and the dance of life. This day was created for you – Cherish it. Shine your light in all that you do! Live your life with passion, purpose, respect and integrity. You are here for a reason. Make today count through all it’s surprises and challenges. Face these challenges with an open mind, humor and love. Today is a gift that you may not have again. Bring life, energy, and smiles in all that you do because it matters. Create your dreams, live your values, believe in your goals, even when others may dismiss them! You’ve got this! Be grateful for your life full of abundance! Trust your intuition and know your own heart. Carpe diem: Seize the day! Be fully alive to all that is around you. Listen to others before and after you speak. Have empathy! Be aware of others feelings in addition to your own. Your patience and understanding are needed as much as you need them in return. Make choices today that you will not regret tomorrow. May you walk in Christ’s path made especially for you! Be memorable for your vision, your light and your attitude. Our world needs happiness! Create it! Be the person that people will remember for beauty inside and know that you matter and are chosen to shine!
Much love…MamaC
Now may the God who gives perseverance and encouragement grant you to be of the same mind with one another according to Christ Jesus, so that with one accord you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 15:5-6
