Tell Me More!

It has been an interesting day today! I walk for fitness; however, today was beyond fitness! I met a lovely Christian lady from South America yesterday while at the Salvation Army. She invited me to her house today. And Yes, of course I went.  And when I arrived, she wanted to walk to the Goodwill store, that according to her was down the street!

The walk was through a beautiful neighborhood, and I was not sure where we were at after the first couple of turns. We made so many ins and outs, up and down streets, passed a Catholic school, passed two public schools, and cut through fields and yards. Yes WHEW WHEE! I know it took about an hour to get there.

The walk; however, was truly a blessing to me and to her. As we walked, she shared her story of how she was going through some hard times and when she joined her church, her relationship with God, as we speak, has become fulfilled. Her life has become enriched, as well as an increase in knowledge of how ~ if we seek God for our needs he will provide! Who are you willing to go the extra mile with to be enriched through the blessings of God.

And if anyone forces you to go one mile, go with him two. Give to the one who asks you, and don't turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you. You have heard that it was said, Love your neighbor and hate your enemy. But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. Matthew 5:41-44 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

# 7 Objectives (n) - something your working towards Increase! ---Hmmm! Increase in what? I'm not sure what you mean by increase! Increase in finances maybe ~ or increase in knowledge ~ or perhaps you mean increase in healthy friendships!  All of these are attainable; however, they are not accomplished without work on our part to obtain them ~ and keep them. Maybe you want to increase your household! Uh Oh! (Big Smile) ~ VUALA ~ here's your baby! Wow that would be wonderful if it worked out that way, but we know better huh?  How many of you have really sat down with a goal in mind and established a step by step plan to reach that goal? I have never done that, I have always flown by the seat of my pants and they would always work out! NOW? It's not that easy. I have had to think things through more, pray about them and believe they will happen!  What I mean by that is, I became independent of Christ (sure of my own works), instead of dependent (leaning totally ...

In Dark Times, RUN to Jesus!

If you view God through how and what your earthly parents instilled in you, whether it was right or wrong; no wonder so many do not come to God ~ without one plea!   Let me explain! If your Father or Mother were mean, controlling, did not keep a promise they made, promiscuous or did not show their love towards you; whereas, instead of seeking Jesus, you WILL seek the opposite of who Jesus is! Especially when we are hurt, depressed, or feeling unloved! Once again, God is not harsh, hard or sharp and slow to anger! “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden and overburdened, and I will cause you to rest. [I will ease and relieve and refresh your souls.] Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me, for I am gentle (meek) and humble (lowly) in heart, and you will find rest (relief and ease and refreshment and recreation and blessed quiet) for your souls. For My yoke is wholesome (useful, good—not harsh, hard, sharp, or pressing, but ...
Appetizer # 2 -Mental Attitude ~ a state of feeling or mind about a person or situation WOW! I know that I have had some bad attitudes in situations that were not necessary to even entertain. I can recall one of my many times I developed an attitude before I allowed myself a good attitude about going to a community dance in my hometown. I just knew it was going to be boring and the people that were going to be there, I had nothing in common with (or I thought),  many of them there were not my age; and I did not have anything nice to wear, I needed to make sure my children were sleep first, and on and on and on - -  "Geez" I kept coming up with excuse, after excuse, after excuse!! My negative attitude about going to this dance could have kept me - - -- well, what many of us pass up - - - it's called "living"; IF, I would not have regrouped and decided to go anyway.  I found a babysitter, obviously found something to wear with a pair of my many fabulous sho...
