For Real!

Are we really entitled to anything? Yes we do have the spirit of entitlement. It is easy to look at others and see what is wrong with them; however, we do not take a good look at ourselves....nor do we want to admit to ourselves either, we have many faults also!  In Mark7:1,2 (TLB) it says, "Don't criticize and you won't be criticized yourself. Why worry about a speck in someone else's eyes, when you have a board in your own". We do have a right, by choice, to live a blessed life of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control; which is the Fruit of the Spirit! Wow, seems like a lot; however, we thrive on impure thoughts, jealousy, selfishness, conflict, complaining, criticism, anger, and injustice.......which leads to a life filled with severe dysfunction!

I have heard it's "hard" more than I want to for someone to think positive. REALLY? It's not hard it's our own selfish motive........because it's following our own feelings or our fears (Which Joyce Meyers defines fear as false evidence appearing real).........I want what I want when I want it! Correct? ............Say it with me, Yes, that is correct! We put our own needs in place of others, our own desires in place of others and our own wants in place of others.....even some of us women overlook their children's needs because they are so self indulged.

I am not saying, not to do good things for yourself, not to take care of your body (which is God's temple), or not to value you, but when a decision has to be made, and there is a husband and children involved, then it becomes "what is best for us versus what is best for me" The Fruit of the Spirit starts in the home. If there is not peace in your house, then you cannot live in peace, if there is not love in your house, then you cannot give love, if there is not gentleness in your house, then you cannot be gentle. God said, I have given you everything you need......it is already within us when we receive Christ as our Savior.

He says try me! I dare you to try him and see how your life will change from Glory to Glory (little by little) for the good of your household and those around you. However, if your home depicts a life of conflict and you think others are not aware of what goes on behind closed doors, think again, God knows......He knows all, sees all, and heals all! Let Him in, so your life can begin anew and brand new! God Loves You and I Love you too! Have a Blessed Day!

 28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28 (KJV)

SILENCE - does no one Justice!

I posted this September 25, 2016 on social media. I have added some things; but it still holds weight and value! God put this on my heart to repost, and almost 4 years later many are seeing what Dr. King meant in the 60’s! I am speaking of those who call themselves Christians and Pastors who are silent and have been for centuries! Jesus says in John 15:17-18 AMPC: 17 This is what I command you: that you love one another. 18 If the world hates you, know that it hated Me before it hated you. Jesus also said: J ohn 15:10-16 AMPC If you keep My commandments [if you continue to obey My instructions], you will abide in My love  and  live on in it, just as I have obeyed My Father's commandments and live on in His love. I have told you these things, that My joy  and  delight may be in you, and that your joy  and  gladness may be of full measure  and  complete  and  overflowing. This is My commandment: that you love one another [jus...

Do You REALLY Know?

I was in JC Penney a few years ago just browsing and this woman passed me calling a little girl who was in the shoe section to come on, she was ready to leave. The little girl quickly grabbed a specific pair of shoes and walked over to her, pleading for the shoes. Well being social, I commented they were very cute shoes and would look good on her. The Grandmother proceeded with, “She has more than enough shoes at home and although they are cute, we are not buying them”. The little girl begged for a short while and realized she was not going to win this battle, so the shoes went back to the shoe department. As the little girl was leaving, her Grandmother began telling me how she provides for the child quite often and her daughter (the child's Mother) do not have a good relationship. She badly berated her daughter to the point I said in my mind, “God should I pray for this woman”; because from listening to her story, I felt the relationship could not continue is this manner, an...

Appetizer # 8

# 8 Self-Respect (n) - proper pride; dignity Oh yes, I did not do well in Business Law. To be honest, I could have cared less about court cases, what the law says about landlord rights, tenant rights, labor law rights, etc. After all, I had a home, a full time job (that at the time, I had no intention of leaving), and I was married with children. I decided to go back to college after the kids were school age, to better my life and theirs~so I thought! I was working third shift, 40 hours a week; and juggling Motherhood and being a wife. Well - all of that together did not mix well at all!  Of course I was tired. In between classes, I would go to the student lounge and sleep ~ there was also times I would doze while driving their and back home. One day while driving home, I was so sleepy, I just could not keep my eyes open. However, when I did realize I had fallen asleep,  I was heading towards the median on a four lane highway. You talk about being scared straight. I kn...
