Hi friends!I’ve always loved doors! In my life, they represent fresh opportunities, adventures, pointers, lessons, revelations, celebrations, and more. In our WP community, opening doors translates into a renewed appreciation for our beloved fellow bloggers and their deeply cherished blogs.
Through my Doors Series, I aim to give our fellow bloggers the gift of sharing a piece of their world. I invite them to guest post on my blog and share their message, their story, their heart. I also encourage them to show how our blogs and worlds link together in love.
After all, IT’S ALL ABOUT LOVE. ❤️
Today, we happily knock on the door of a dear friend and fellow blogger:
Thank you, Yeka, for your loving, kind invitation to Guest Post on your blog. I am honored and humbled by the experience! Your tender heart is perfectly reflected in the words you post, and I feel so blessed to call you my friend. Your life-resilience is admirable beyond words…
I have many passions in my life:
• God
• Family
• Children and their laughter
• Writing whatever God puts on my heart
• Etc… (the list is long)
More than likely, many of you reading this have very similar passions. For this post, however, I will reflect on our most common – writing.
While I’ve always enjoyed making up stories or rhymes, especially when my children were young, I have only recently realized how much I love to write. We will call it a latent talent, although I believe it has always lived inside of me.
In my recently published book of poetry I feature 40 faith-based poems. It’s my belief that God allowed me to write these poems, and do so with little effort. I feel blessed for that, and I give credit where credit is due! (I wish formatting had been as easy! 😁)
I hope that my love of God, family and mankind in general is reflected in my posts out here on WordPress. It is what feeds my heart and my fingers when I write.
It is intentional when I write something out of sync with my other posts. A short story or song or whatever, as I am passionate about staying as broad as possible to include as many tastes for the readers who follow me.
Thank you for all those who follow my blog. You are my blessing every day!
I love all feedback too, as well as all the sweet and kind messages when words I’ve written touch the reader. That is what keeps me going!
WordPress is such a beautiful release for so many diverse thoughts for all the writers. I wish it could be duplicated and the heartfelt intent we feel for one another could spread around the world.
Maybe, just maybe, we can find tolerance, acceptance and love for our neighbor, regardless of who they are, and in doing so make this world a better place for our children. A dreamer is going to dream, and, sometimes, dreams do come true!
My wish for you all is for you to find your inner peace and see the good in others, so we can truly love our neighbors as ourselves!
Love is really the key!
Thanks so much for opening your door to us, dear Kevin! ❤️
Your immeasurable faith in God touches our hearts and minds with power and depth.
While your love for God, family, and mankind fuel your passion to write, your all-inclusive approach to your posts invites even more readers to your faith-filled blog.
As you live and breathe faith, you inspire us to look beyond ourselves. You encourage us to look with greater love towards our neighbors. You help us believe that we can truly make a difference in our world.
And we echo your wish of inner peace and goodness. For Love is really the key to open the doors of our hearts and minds. ❤️
I read the blog whose link I posted above – and it brought sunshine to me on this gloomy, gray Friday morning. I hope it brightens your day, too. It is so true… we can’t rely on outward circumstances to bring us our joy. The door opens inward!
When things look cloudy and gray
Just turn your focus away
From the things that are dark and gloomy
Let joy spring from your heart today.
Life IS an amazing journey
It DOES all begin and end with LOVE
So open the door to your heart’s love
And let JOY bring you strength from above.
You may be facing some darkness
Your skies may be cloudy and gray
But they don’t have to dampen your spirits
Let the Son shine in to brighten your day.
Whichever part you are in the globe today, it’s an awesome gift to be alive. A totally priceless gift of LOVE! ❤️
So, celebrate!!! Your life, your world, your love!
Yup, decide to flash your signature that tells everyone that you’re glad to be here. In fact, make a cool, happy habit out of it. You’ll reap the amazing rewards!
Ooops! There’s a special phone-in question: “What if there’s NO sun today? What if it’s all gloomy skies, scattered rainshowers, and thunderstorms? What if there’s a whole lot of hail above my head and snow under my feet that I have to contend with? *gtumble, grumble* Will someone just do the shovelling for me?!?!?”
Phew! Okay, okay, okay! I hear you!
Totally valid. You may not be able to control the weather. In fact, you will never be a master at that. BUT! That’s totally okay! That wasn’t part of the grand design and scheme of things.
Just relax. Focus your positive energy on what you do have control over. Your smile, your mind, your heart, your attitude, your sunshine.
And yes, regardless of what’s happening around you, you can STILL have a warm, happy, sunny day.
IT'S ALL ABOUT LOVE
