Almost Always...

Dear Friends & Enemies:

Almost always:

Feelings are important, too.

As long as we are positive they are coming from the correct source.

I.e. God and not Satan.

T bought us a super nifty magnet that reminds us what feelings come from God and what feelings do not.

It's very important to know the difference.

Sometimes when we are all encompassed in the chaos of the world, it can be hard to really discern.

But when we take a step back from the chaos, we will always know.

Sometimes we do things or say things or intervene in things because we are just positive we know what the right thing is.

In the process of doing so, we start an entire domino effect of lies, inaccuracies, hurt, a LOT of hurt, and sadness. We bring hurt to others by doing things that were unnecessary. We bring hurt to others by believing our version of a story that was not accurate to begin with.

Remember always - 

Facts should be the basis of our decisions.

If we are concerned about things that we are hearing, we should go to the source.

Since up until now, I have not known what feelings are or how to live with them, my decision making was based on who knows what!!!

Now, I am keenly aware of feelings - where they come from and what to do with them.

If I don't know, I ask.

I ask my T.

Or my Dad.

Or my kids.

Learning to base my decisions on concrete evidence and faithful feelings is a pretty big triumph!
