I am joining the FMF gals who write for 5 minutes on one word...the word is "Influence."
People have influence in our lives. Some for positive and some negative.
I want to be around those who have a godly, positive influence in my life.
I want to be a good influence. In my attitude. in my faith. in my prayers. In words of encouragement. I want to show love. I want to be kind. I love gentleness and that is the influence I want to give.
Think about influence this week. Whose life are you having an impact on? What kind of influence do you want to have? What influence would help your life?
Remember you are important...your life gives statement...your life has influence.

The word for FMF (write for 5 minutes) is "Repeat."
There are things I would like to have repeated....
Kindness, from a loved one or a friend or even a stranger. I was in Starbucks last week and a complete stranger paid for my coffee. I was taken back by the kindness.
The kindness when someone opens and holds a door open for me.
Smiles. I think smiles always need to be repeated. I like to smile at people...it makes them smile back.
Generosity. I am amazed at the generosity of others. It makes me want to repeat that same action.
Love. Nothing compares with knowing that I am loved. Sometimes I have to repeat to myself that I am loved by others.
I would like to repeat the happy memories of my life. Marrying my husband (of 55 yrs). Having our children. The births of all of our grandchildren. The birth of our great granddaughter.
I would like to repeat in others lives what I have just said...show kindness, smile at others, give love, be generous, be a happy memory to others.
