Growing up, people would always say "You learn something new each day.". Well; I am learning that it is true. The word New, means "lately coming into knowledge, fresh or unused, unaccustomed, or recently/lately". So it doesn't necessarily mean that you have never before heard something but that it has now finally become knowledge. And the word Learn means “to gain by experience, to become informed of or acquainted with". So really the new thing I/we learn is just some fresh information. Or it can also be something that we are unaccustomed to that we gain by experience. I don't believe that when you hear something you learn it. You learn it once you can apply it physically or mentally. You learn it once you understand it. I also believe that everything happens for a reason, and that we come to realize things on certain days for a reason. So everyday I will be sharing with you the new thing that I learn or realize, hoping that you can learn from it as I did.

Feel free to comment or even post about your own realization or new thing that was learned.

Do it for who?

When we do things, why do we do them? Do we do them for us? Or for others? I went to get ice cream for two boys I watch and I was blessed to just sit and watch them enjoy the treat they were given. When we do things not intentional for our happiness we in return get even more happiness. This is also how we should live our lives for God. Just going out and doing anything and everything for him, not us. For His happiness, not ours. And in return without even expecting it we will be just as happy knowing that we have done things to please him. It really is crazy how that works. Just thinking things for Him and doing small things that would please Him make us a more happy person at the end of the day.
