Positive Thoughts Button...

I am a strong believer of positivity! This post is a place for people to come and leave uplifting, positive thoughts! I feel it is so important to bring out the good in others and to spread love by being positive! Please leave your positive thoughts, uplifting quotes, scriptures, or share anything positive! When I designed and made this button I never dreamed it would be such a blessing to not only me but everyone that comes here to visit!

Bless you all for your friendship and love! ♥ HUGS ♥


Looking forward to reading your positive thoughts :)

  2. Oh goodie, I get to be one of the first to try the positive button.

    I have this scripture on my facebook because it just speaks hope, love and peace.

    Isaiah 40:31 But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. (NIV)

  5. One of the things I love about blogging is that I can focus on the positive...and not be critical like I naturally can be.

    Jeremiah 29:11 says "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord. "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you a hope and a future."

  31. I guess my strength comes from just having FAITH that God's promises are sure...so,

    "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help"

    with health issues i know there is not a timeline to that promise, so day to day living and faith that it WILL come keeps me going, AND positive!

    thanks so much for this Shauna! Love this!

  39. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

    4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

    "No matter what circumstances you sisters experience, your influence can be marvelously far-reaching. I believe some of you have a tendency to underestimate your profound capacity for blessing the lives of others. More often than not, it is not on the stage with some public pronouncement but in your example of righteousness and the countless gentle acts of love and kindness done so willingly, so often on a one-to-one basis."
    --James E. Faust

    Shauna, Thank YOU for being YOU and all of your countless gentle acts of love:)

  50. I am thankful for so many Blessings in life that are many times taken for granted...my God, husband, kids, house, food, ability to work and pay bills, freedom to be free in this country, having a computer, electricity, water, cars to drive, schools, music, washing machine and dryer, immediate and extended family still living, a brain and a memory, a voice, my eyesight, mobility, hearing, and so much more that is not guaranteed in life, but that we all take for granted each day.

  53. You know, this morning I woke up able to see, able to talk, able to hear, able to breathe, able to hug my children and be with my soul mate (husband) in the warm sunshine.....I give all my thanks to God, whom made all that possible. And when we are ankle deep in the snow tomorrow (winter storm coming), I am going to praise Him because I know He will bring the sun back!

  54. I just had a cancer scare recently and for 2 months had been going through tests (painful) and the stress of it all. What sustained me is really thinking of how everything has a purpose and that there is something to be learned from what I was going through. I was at peace and positive that things will work out. Last Monday, cancer was RULED OUT. I believe that faith, hope and positivity really makes a huge difference in people's lives!

  78. Hi everyone! I found a really GREAT thought today online. Simple but true!

    There are only two ways to live your life.
    One is as though nothing is a miracle.

  101. THIS one surprised me...I was looking for something regarding personal growth and found this quote by KIRK DOUGLAS (just this week)

    " Obey the voice within - it commands us to give of ourselves and help others. As long as we have the capacity to give, we are alive."

    I think I shut off too much...I think I have nothing to offer because I am thinking BIG...but really I think most things grow by taking smaller steps!

  117. As I sat in a fast and testimony meeting in Colorado this weekend with 3 of our children, their spouses and 10 of our precious grandchildren, the thought kept coming to me, 'Where much is given much is expected'.
    One of those is having a heart of gratitude! As women being so blessed by so many of the Lord's blessings both small and large I am so full of gratitude for ALL things. Even those hard things which teach and help us to grow and become stronger and closer to HIM.

    I've heard this before and always makes me chuckle...especially when I ask my kids to "BUCKLE DOWN"...did I JUST SAY BUCKLE DOWN? OMGOSH...I have really turned into my MOther (funny). ANYWAY, my kids do not like to do menial labor. Don't get it, when we were young we just had jobs to do. I am VERY SURE I never, ever in my life whined about it (haha).

  148. This is my favorite scripture:
    Yea, I know I am nothing; as to my strength I am weak; therefore i will not boast of myself, but I will boast of my God, for in his strength I can do all things.

    I strongly believe this!

  151. Whether I believe in John Edward (the psychic) or not, I was moved by one simple thing he said directly after 9-11. He was talking about all the people who said they felt helpless and wanted to do something but didn't know what to do. He told them that there was something they could do ... They could pray.
