Powerful Statement

You know my entire life I have heard the old saying "God "makes" thing happen for a reason". Tonight a great new christian friend of mine said it different and it took on a whole new meaning and we were not even talking about my life ~ " God lets things happen then he works with the results, God does not make us sin". What a powerful statement !

Great advice ~

There comes a point in your life when you realize who matters,

who never did,

who won't anymore..

and who always will.

So, don't worry about people from your past,

there's a reason why they didn't make it to your future.

Keep smiling - it makes people wonder what you've been up to. ~Author Unknown

Verse for the day

Do you see the real thing... are you sure...how do you know its real...you don't....

God works in mysterious ways... but he always gets there....

Ezekiel 33:31-32 And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they shew much love, but their heart goeth after their covetousness. And, lo, thou art unto them as a very lovely song of one that hath a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument: for they hear thy words, but they do them not.

You know I really like this song...

Verse for the Day

GREAT MOVIE~

I stay a little behind on movies because I rarely have an opportunity to sit long enough to watch one and usually would rather not. However I took a little time to watch this movie and was so glad I did. This is a wonderful movie. This will go on my list as one of my favorites and if you look at my favorite this type of movie is not typically one of them but this one made the list !!

From the movie :

"2 Questions asked of you to get into Egyptian Heaven - Have you had joy in your life ? Have you brought joy to someones life ?"

Keep your priorities straight ~

F A M I L Y

I ran into a stranger as he passed by,

'Oh excuse me please' was my reply.

He said, 'Please excuse me too;

I wasn't watching for you.'

We were very polite, this stranger and I.

We went on our way and we said goodbye.

But at home a different story is told,

How we treat our loved ones, young and old.

Later that day, cooking the evening meal,

My son stood beside me very still.

When I turned, I nearly knocked him down.

'Move out of the way,' I said with a frown.

He walked away, his little heart broken.

I didn't realize how harshly I'd spoken.

While I lay awake in bed,

God's still small voice came to me and said,

'While dealing with a stranger, common courtesy you use,

but the family you love, you seem to abuse.

Go and look on the kitchen floor,

You'll find some flowers there by the door.

Those are the flowers he brought for you.

He picked them himself: pink, yellow and blue.

He stood very quietly not to spoil the surprise,

you never saw the tears that filled his little eyes.'

By this time, I felt very small,

And now my tears began to fall.

I quietly went and knelt by his bed;

'Wake up, little one, wake up,' I said.

'Are these the flowers you picked for me?'

He smiled, 'I found 'em, out by the tree.

I picked 'em because they're pretty like you.

I knew you'd like 'em, especially the blue.'

I said, 'Son, I'm very sorry for the way I acted today;

I shouldn't have yelled at you that way.'

He said, 'Oh, Mom, that's okay.

I love you anyway.'

I said, 'Son, I love you too,

and I do like the flowers, especially the blue.'

Power of Prayer

PRAY THIS EVEN IF YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE IT....IT WILL ONLY TAKE A MINUTE I started not to do this, but as I read it.....I understood God to say...'You need a miracle tomorrow', so here goes.

Dear Lord, I thank You for this day.I thank You for my being able to see and to hear this morning. I'm blessed because you are a forgiving God and an understanding God. You have done so much for me and you keep on blessing me. Forgive me this day for everything I have done, said or thought that was not pleasing to you. I ask now for Your forgiveness. Please keep me safe from all danger and harm. Help me to start this day with a new attitude and plenty of gratitude. Let me make the best of each and every day to clear my mind so that I can hear from you. Please broaden my mind that I can accept all things. Let me not whine and whimper over things I have no control over and give me the best response when I'm pushed beyond my limits. I know that when I can't pray you listen to my heart. Continue to use me to do your will. Continue to bless me that I may be a blessing to others. Keep me strong that I may help the weak. Keep me uplifted that I may have words of encouragement for others. I pray for those that are lost and can't find their way. I pray for those that are misjudged and misunderstood I pray for those who don't know you intimately. I pray for those that don't believe. But I thank you that I believe that God changes people and God changes things. I pray for all my sisters and brothers. For each and every family member in their households and mine. I pray for peace, love and joy in their homes and mine and that they are out of debt and all their needs are met. I pray that every eye that reads this knows there is no problem, circumstance or situation greater than God Every battle is in your hands for you to fight. I pray that these words be received into the hearts of every eye that sees it ,in Jesus' name. Amen! God I love you and I need you come into my heart, please.

Winners never quit and quitters never win.
