Greetings Friend,
 
(Click here to play audio)
 
I can hardly believe we are already into the middle of April. I love this time of year here in Maryland ! As the flowers start blooming and the buds start appearing on the trees, my spirit is refreshed.

In my previous Cheer~ Mail I shared with you how difficult last year had been for me. I am happy to report that life is offering a reprieve, and it feels as nice as the gentle spring air.

 Since this is the time of year when we begin planting our flower beds and vegetable gardens, I thought “Today’s Inspiration” would be the perfect choice.

Friend, remember to take time to enjoy the season! Go ahead, stop a moment and breathe in the fresh air. Perhaps go for a walk with your family, and purposely take notice of the beautiful flowers along the way.

I hope you have a wonderful Spring!

Love and Hugs,

 
 Ps. Please shoot me an e-mail if you are encouraged in any way. It helps to encourage me knowing I may have inspired some one else. Hope to hear from you! Send to: LauraBeth@CheerfulHearts.org

Psalm 126:6
He who goes out weeping, carrying seed to sow,
will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with him.(NIV)
 
Be Patient…Your Seed Will Grow!!!

We all have areas in our lives in which we are planting seeds. If you are a parent raising your children to be Godly, respectful, kind hearted individuals, you are sowing good seeds into their souls. If you are expanding your education or working hard towards a promotion, then you are sowing seeds that will benefit your future. If you are tithing and giving offerings to help the needy, you are sowing into the lives of others in ways that you may never realize.

I was overwhelmed with joy when I received my beautiful " Wedding Treasure " for my 25th wedding anniversary! My husband loved it too, and was touched to the point of tears.
 
The poem spoke of marriage in such a way that as we took in the meaning ,and gazed at our picture, it made us really appreciate what we have. It brought us back to a place of realizing what a special gift we are to each other. I will treasure it always!

What’s on your mind? Whether in marriage, about health, personal growth, children, disappointment, etc. Send your questions my way, and you may see yours answered right here. Sensitivity and respect of privacy will be honored. Send questions to : LauraListens@Cheerfulhearts.org

Question: Laura, I am also a writer/speaker ,but can't seem to break into what God is telling me . I keep waiting on His timing but it is soooo hard after all these years.
 
I know I am in a season of preparation but I am at the point of asking when Lord, when? And wondering,did you really put this stuff on my heart or am I making things up in my own mind? I hope you understand and wonder if you experienced the same things?
 
Polly Harris
 
Answer: I have most definitely experienced your frustration Polly. I was feeling that way for several years as I was pursuing the publishing world. I had so much written and had so much I wanted to share, but had no idea how I was going to accomplish it with my physical limitations.
 
In fact, I remember sharing my discouragement with some one who said that I needed to be patient, and that she believed God had something special in store. Shortly after, small windows and opportunities began to present themselves and eventually doors began to open that allowed me to pursue my dreams.
 
Continue to be diligent in seeking His will, and follow the passion and desires of your heart. You have no idea what could be waiting right around the corner. May God Bless your endeavors!
 
Sincerley,
