Watch Your Life Bloom
Welcome to the Official Blog of Author Dr. Lily L. Ratliff Jenkins, of the inspirational Memoir, The Life of a Lily: Growing in His Strength, Blooming in His Love, and many other writings.
Thanks for coming by to sit awhile and reflecting along with me on everything biblical. On this blog, feel free to share your thoughts and feelings about the various topics I present. They all do come from the heart and are meant for us to ponder, be enlightened, laugh, cry, and ultimately give God all of the praise.
You will hopefully find resources on everything from writing tips to creating your own memoir, how to journal, becoming better Christians and how to walk in your callings, destinies, and witty inventions that we have deep inside of us but sometimes don't quite know how to tap into and walk in. But GOD! It is in his wisdom along with an open mind that we will get through this together. Amen! So I welcome you my brothers and sisters!

It's Just Nice to be Nice
So then, as occasion and opportunity open up to us, let us do good [morally] to all people [not only being useful or profitable to them, but also doing what is for their spiritual good and advantage]. Be mindful to be a blessing, especially to those of the household of faith [those who belong to God's family with you, the believers].--Gal. 6:10 AMP
Many times we do things that are right but never seem to get a word of thanks. We work hard, treat people with love but still see no tangible results. However, we as believers have a charge or mandate from God to go out into the highways and byways and help those in need, be a witness for the Kingdom of God and to love as Christ Himself loves the church. We are Holy-Spirit filled believers, clothed in righteousness and set aside of His good use. So it is a must that we, as a peculiar people, still find ways to be a blessing, despite how people treat us. What are some of those ways?
1. Lend a helping hand.
2. Pray for others.
3. Give someone a hug.
4. Telephone people you haven't seen or heard from in a while to tell them you were thinking of them.
5. Run errands for people who don't have the means to do it themselves.
6. Send food or clothes not just to people you know, but also strangers.
7. Volunteer time in a shelter or orphanage.
8. Sit with the elderly in a nursing home (they would love your company).
9. Mentor a child.
10. Smile (that may be the only smile they receive).
When you take the time to do for others, God will do for you. AND you will feel good in the process.
