Goodnight dear friends and family. The weekend has arrived. We can all exhale and relax now that we have time off from our jobs and other obligations. Be sure to rest up and take good care of yourself. The world needs you.
Things are extremely difficult at times. Sometimes we find ourselves surrounded by toxic people who are in our lives for reasons that we cannot control . Sometimes people come into out lives and we don’t know until we are in deeper, that they are harmful. Those same people, when in the presence of those who exude light and kindness, can become ferocious and cruel and many times, abusive. It’s easy to get pulled into those hurtful words and eventually begin to doubt yourself. It’s easy over time to allow those words and actions to pierce your sense of self.
Always remind yourself that toxic people are just this way. It is THEIR problem. No matter what, they will do their best to make you believe that you are somehow doing something to bring this behavior out in them. I assure you that this is not the case. No one can turn another into an abuser. No one can create that in someone who does not already have that in them.
It is in my experience that the most special people, the strongest spirits of all, are met with the most opposition. Stay true to your course. Always do what is right. You are not responsible for the behavior of another. The best path, when dealing with an abuser, or a toxic individual, is ALWAYS, away from them. Do not engage them. Do not let them invade your emotional space.
Stay strong within what you know to be just and right. Avoid the abuser at all costs. As much as you can. It is the abusers intention to break down your confidence because of their own insecurities. Stay strong. Stay focused. Pray for that person but steer clear of them.
Prayers going out tonight for our friend Julie Prevost. Julie just rescued a precious Pomeranian names Chance. We are so happy that these two chose each other. They are a match made in heaven. Chance will be getting neutered tomorrow morning and he needs our prayers. He has had a lot of issues in his life, due to the conditions he was kept in. If you want to read more about his story of triumph over pain, it is in the Bio on his Facebook pagehttps://www.facebook.com/ChancePomeraniansJourneyHome
God bless Chance and Julie on their lifelong journey together.
No lives will go in vain. No pain will go unnoticed. Amen.
Love from,
Jessica Lee Smith,
For Sammy & Family
