If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies, Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream-and not make dreams your master;
If you can think-and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken, And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with kings-nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance run-
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And-which is more-you'll be a Man, my son!
"IF" by Rudyard Kipling, 1895
Today’s morning in the barn was extra beautiful…this new little one is bringing us so much joy;-)
I was so excited to see that blankets and Christmas lights did the trick and the garden survived the freezing temperatures…
It’s a mystical, foggy morning here and I’m loving it;-) The fog is almost like the snow, makes everything a little slower and quieter.
We’re taking my parents to the Amish country today - something they haven’t experienced before, at least in this lifetime;-) What are y’all up to this weekend?
LIVE LIKE TRUTH - Truth carries no fear, no shame, no guilt, no sorrow n no mercy. The truth is what it is no matter what. It can be loved n it can be hated; it does not matter. The truth remains what it is. It does not bend, fold or weaken because it is unliked. The truth will crush you n think nothing of it. I've said it before, truth is the most powerful stuff on Earth n to get the stuff, all ya gotta do is be honest wit yourself n others, even when only you know you remained honest and or remain honest even if it throws you yourself under the buss. 😏How youns think I came to carry such "juice"? 😅 We ARE energetic electromagnetic vibrations that attract, repel, n radiate according to our thoughts n emotions. Being honest inside n out "gooses" the magnet. I've come right out n told y'all, I am a power seeker . . . . . . . 😆I'm ruthlessly honest 😊 Go-go energetic electromagnetic me that attracts, repels n radiates according to my thoughts n emotions. 😎 - Here is a fun ...

Friends,
it's always quite interesting to see how one and the same piece of information/video/article can cause an incredibly variety of reactions. From "blessed and inspired" to "this is fear mongering of the worst kind".
They saw the same piece on information delivered/written by the same person. So is it the information itself or is it something else that determines how we react?
Kristin and I talk about it in today's Sunday Sermon right here 👇🏽
Much Love & Many Blessings,
Jean & Kristin
Friends,
in the face of all that we are witnessing in the world today, who hasn't asked themself at times, "What can little old me change"? It's a common question and we've all asked it before.
It's actually a very important one to ask, but most don't realize how powerful the real answer is.
Let us explain in today's Sunday Sermon 👇🏽
