If you were in charge of inspirational messages, what would your thoughts be?
That's a tough one because it's difficult to find inspiration with all that's going on, and I'm not into sentiments like "love" and all that mushy gushy stuff. So, I'd probably say something like "Stand in your truth. Stay the course. They can't kill you if you refuse to die".

Amen!

DeleteTrust in God.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
That was a neat idea! I think my inspirational though would be to look for the good in every situation.
ReplyDeleteThere's always a glimmer of positiveness in everything if you look hard enough.
DeleteHave you got your jar set up yet? 😄
ReplyDeleteI will get right on it :-)
DeleteThis is great, what a nice thing to do.
ReplyDeleteAnd the person has no idea that their inspiration jar is sending ripples out all over the internet.
DeleteReminds me of the kindness rocks project. It's all about reaching out and spreading positivity.
