Mrs. Dunwoody’s Guide to Living Beautifully
  • Realize that each new day is a gift from God.  Treat it as such.
  • Focus on life’s blessings, as this is continuously uplifting, and affects who you are as a person.
  • Develop a keen appreciation for the little luxuries in your daily life–the smell of coffee in the morning, the songbirds outside your window, a loved one’s crooked smile. Seek out these “blessings” and take time each day to notice and savor them. Pay attention to your life.
  • Create a home you love to live in.
  • Spend some time outdoors. Nature heals and replenishes the soul.
  • Do something kind for someone at least every week; aim for every day. Do a good deed anonymously. You will find, in time, that the more you give, the more is given back to you.
  • Everything in life is a choice. realize that as you live your life, each moment you are either adding to or taking from the quality of your life. You are either creating and enjoying, or dying and destroying. There is no “standing still,” for that is time wasted and therefore takes away from your life. The choice for your life is up to you.
  • Strive to become the best version of yourself.
  • To awaken mentally and become passionate about something, find the thing that moves your heart and stirs your soul. Persevere, for passion is a necessity for a beautiful life.
  • Create something, whether it is a family, a meal, a painting, or a daydream.
  • Never stop learning, through books, people, travel, and experiences.
  • Listen to and enjoy another’s company often.
  • Focus on your love of beauty. Use the fine china for your cup of tea.
  • Cultivate gratitude in all things and circumstances. Search for the good in all.
  • Speak only kind words.
  • Laugh every day.
  • Give continual thanks and praise to your Creator, and ask Him to guide your heart and soul.

“God is God. … He is worthy of my worship and my service. I will find rest nowhere but in His will, and that will is … unspeakably beyond my largest notions of what He is up to.”

This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down His life for us. Dear children, let US not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth .  This then is how we know that we belong to the truth, and how we set our hearts at rest in His presence whenever our hearts condemn us.  For God is greater than our hearts, and He knows everything. Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God and receive from Him anything we ask, because we obey His commands and do what pleases Him.  And THIS is His command: to believe in the name of His son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as He commanded us.  Those who obey His commands live in Him, and He in them.  And this is how we know that He lives in us: We know by the Spirit he gave us. 1 John 3:16, 18-20 How do we set our hearts at rest in His presence, even when our hearts seem to condemn us?  Love one another.  Not with words or tongue, but wit...

Charles Spurgeon, on 2 Timothy 1:9... "Those whom the Saviour saved on the cross are in due time effectively called by the power of God the Holy Spirit to holiness. They leave their sins, and they endeavor to be like Christ. They choose holiness, not out of any compulsion, but from the influence of a new nature, which leads them to     rejoice in holiness       just as naturally    as before they delighted in sin. God neither chose them nor called them because they were holy, but He called them so that they might be holy, and holiness is the beauty produced by His workmanship in them. The Christlike qualities that we see in a believer are as much the work of God as the Atonement itself.  Thus the fullness of the grace of God is brought out very sweetly... The believer's privilege is a present salvation; the evidence that he is called to it is his holy life."
