A Prisoner of Hope: Counting blessings and being thankful for what I have
http://megandimaria.blogspot.com/2015/04/counting-blessings-and-being-thankful.html
A Prisoner of Hope. Offering hope and encouragement for life, writing, and living a thoughtful life. Thursday, April 16, 2015. Counting blessings and being thankful for what I have. This is one of my special places. I love to spend quiet time here thinking about life, about my darlings, about my blessings. I love to read in that chair or to put my lap desk over the wide arms and tap away on my computer. I love to sit in that leafy shade and read sweet words of hope and pray for loved ones. The Crimson Co...

A Prisoner of Hope: Guard your thoughts, they have the power to determine your reality
http://megandimaria.blogspot.com/2015/07/guard-your-thoughts-they-have-power-to.html
A Prisoner of Hope. Offering hope and encouragement for life, writing, and living a thoughtful life. Tuesday, July 28, 2015. Guard your thoughts, they have the power to determine your reality. Discussed the power of words to wound or to heal. Friends, kind words benefit both the hearer and the one who speaks. Before words are spoken, they're thoughts. A. Favorite Bible verse tell us to "take every thought captive (2 Corinthians 10:5).". Our thoughts create our reality. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

A Prisoner of Hope: I know, it's hard to forgive, but . . .
http://megandimaria.blogspot.com/2014/10/i-know-its-hard-to-forgive-but.html
A Prisoner of Hope. Offering hope and encouragement for life, writing, and living a thoughtful life. Thursday, October 23, 2014. I know, it's hard to forgive, but . . . I was badly wounded by people I loved and trusted. It nearly destroyed me. I realized to move forward, I must forgive. Then I became a serial forgiver, having to forgive over and again the same ones who hurt me so badly. So I'd forgive. Again. It took me over a decade to come to grips with the pain of betrayal and rejection. This is beaut...

A Prisoner of Hope: I'm ba-a-a-ck!
http://megandimaria.blogspot.com/2015/04/im-ba-a-ck.html
A Prisoner of Hope. Offering hope and encouragement for life, writing, and living a thoughtful life. Tuesday, April 07, 2015. I took a hiatus during Lent to let all the "noise" in my life fade to the background. It was a delightful break, but I'm glad to be back. I hope you enjoyed the end of winter and the beginning of spring. It's been lovely here in Colorado. I can't recall when spring entered so gently and brought so many warm days. Tidbits. Here's the link. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The bo...

A Prisoner of Hope: Wise words
http://megandimaria.blogspot.com/2015/06/wise-words.html
A Prisoner of Hope. Offering hope and encouragement for life, writing, and living a thoughtful life. Tuesday, June 23, 2015. Wise words from a wise, Godly woman. It's all or nothing, this trusting-God thing. Either you commit or you skirt the issue and flirt with religion, which will not serve you well, in my humble opinion. I made a commitment to the Lord in 1978, and I was- and still am- all in! I couldn't imagine life any other way. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I post on Tuesdays. Author's @ Do...

A Prisoner of Hope. Offering hope and encouragement for life, writing, and living a thoughtful life. Tuesday, April 21, 2015. Be successful, and here's how . . . Did that title catch your attention? I have a not-so-secret secret to share. If you want to be successful, you have to make it happen. Sure, it sounds like a tall order, but let me tell you, I've found some successes in my life, and they didn't happen by accident. Then you should try to make your dream come true as well. And if I can do it, then...

A Prisoner of Hope: The world's harsh, be kind!
http://megandimaria.blogspot.com/2015/02/the-worlds-harsh-be-kind.html
A Prisoner of Hope. Offering hope and encouragement for life, writing, and living a thoughtful life. Thursday, February 12, 2015. The world's harsh, be kind! We never know what others are dealing with. On the outside, we all look pulled together and ready to take on the world. But a broken person hides their wounds, carrying them deep inside. You can't look at someone and judge their behavior off the cuff. Often deep, personal issues guide a harsh action or cutting words. Sure, you might not be appreciat...

A Prisoner of Hope: Guard your words, they have power to wound or heal
http://megandimaria.blogspot.com/2015/06/guard-your-words-they-have-power-to.html
A Prisoner of Hope. Offering hope and encouragement for life, writing, and living a thoughtful life. Tuesday, June 30, 2015. Guard your words, they have power to wound or heal. Too often we forget about that when we're deep in conversation or making an off-handed comment. Words can be a blessing, but they can also be a curse. Or at least they can cause pain. Create misunderstanding. Break a heart. Ruin a relationship. I've regretted careless words that have hurt others, and. Don't return insult for insul...
