It's A Win-Win Situation!

I quickly woke up to a very loud sound about three mornings ago. It was a sound I could not grasp. Could it be a hurt dog? “What was it", I asked myself. I looked at the time on my cell phone; which was 4:34 am and laid there for a few minutes. Then I said, “Well whatever it is, God will reveal it to me soon”!

It was now 7:00 am and time for my granddaughter to get up for school. My daughter always gets her up and ready; and I asked if she heard that horrendous sound this morning. She said, “Yes”! Her husband got up to see what it was, and said it was a coyote.

My son-in-law usually works nights, so when he woke up for the day, I asked him what he saw. He said there were two very large coyotes; one was underneath the balcony eating something, and the other one was just about 3 feet away eating berries off a tree and digging in the ground for more! He went on to say he stood there until they decided to move in another direction ~ unnoticed!

“Hmmm, I wonder what this means”! “Could it be a sign from God”, I said to myself. Anyway, I could not get that sound off my mind nor the fact large coyotes were so close to civilization. So when I got a chance I researched them on-line through National Geographic. What stood out to me the most, above all of the other outstanding facts about them was; they form strong family groups and once they find a mate, they stay with that mate for life! They work together to hunt, raise their young, and feed them in unity as well!


What can humans take from coyotes who form strong family groups? The fact that when a powerful family bond is formed, it is not easily broken! Don’t take lightly the family bond that is deteriorating among us. Get back to the family values; we all need to break chaos, hunger, theft, disease, and an ungrateful society!


The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you. I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you, I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.” Genesis 12:1-3 NIV

Appetizer # 7

# 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 ...

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...

Appetizer # 6 - Dreams

Appetizer #6 Dreams - Images in the mind For years, I would have the same dream of entering a beautiful mansion and I could remember being awestruck of how beautiful it was. I would marvel at the quality of its craftsmanship.  I would slowly walk down the beautiful marble staircase into the basement.  Once I got to the bottom of the stairs, there was this black door that had a little window on it. Imagine going into a dungeon and the only way anyone could see out was through this peep hole and vice versa.  When I went to open the door, an evil spirit would come near me and I would wake up immediately! As I mentioned this dream went on for years, until I realized that it was the devil. As soon as I confronted him that he will no longer allow me to live in fear of God's blessings and that he had no power over me either, the dream stopped immediately. I know that my ways are not God's ways and my thoughts are not God's thoughts, but to live a life filled with God's ...
