Yep, That's What I Do!

God is not concerned about your profession, where you live, or how much money you have. I’ve heard so many people say, “Oh they live in this neighborhood, or oh, they work at this place making $9.00 per hour”. I have to chuckle because we cannot store up earthly treasures here on earth and take them with us to heaven.

No one should hang their head low because of the jobs they do, where they live or how much money they make. Yes we need money to live in this world, but it should not be at the discretion of others to obtain it; or we should not seek financial wealth to impress the world.

I’m going to be happy with whatever it is God has allowed me to do and do it well. I recall working at a casino about 9 years ago and there were several women from Jamaica who worked in the housekeeping department ~ you talk about excellence. These women would come in and get together and sing a spiritual song to start their day – They sang so well it was like listening to song birds. Wow, even thinking about it now brings joy to my heart. And throughout the day, they sang while they worked. They truly were women who were thankful and showed it by how they did their work and because of their excellent work ethics; they were requested by millionaires and high rollers who treated them like queens and tipped them above and beyond their pay.

So remember anything God has given us to do, do it well, God sees you and will reward you~ with gladness!

In this new life one’s nationality or race or education or social position is unimportant; such things mean nothing. Whether a person has Christ is what matters, and he is equally available to all. Colossians 3:11 TLB

Illusion?

When my son was going into the eighth grade, the school invited those who wanted to attend, to an open house. They served desserts and punch while the parents and students mingled with each other and the teachers. I was in the lobby talking with other parents that came by, when my son came up to me with two of his friends following him, and said, “Mom what would you do if I got a tattoo when I get older”? I didn’t even ponder the thought, nor did I become agitated at the question. My question to him was, “What do you want to do in life? Do you want to be a doctor, a lawyer ~ what professional would you like to become”? He responded, “I don’t know yet. I haven’t thought about it”. I asked him, “If you went to a doctor and he had several tattoos on his body, would you go to that doctor”? His response was "no", as if to say, "I never thought about it that way"! I responded, “Don’t do anything in life you can’t undo”. He asked in bewilderment, “What do

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

Abiding in the Vine!

I am the vine you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing (John 15:5 NIV). I do not own the rights to this photo In the natural you are not able to change anyone who has an addiction. The worst thing we can do is to constantly talk about it to others. Satan I do not own the rights to this photo has a stronghold on their thinking. Give it to God and let Him, in His power, restore your loved ones; and do not talk about it again. Once you pray, you are saying, God I am giving you permission to take care of my loved one~ and you are putting your Trust in God to do what only He can do anyway! So get on your knees and pray and do not speak of what your loved one is going through anymore, but speak of what God is doing in their lives and how He is changing them from Glory to Glory! And Don’t forget to “Thank Him”! In the morning, as they went along, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots.
