Being Humble Being Blessed

For the past week I have been sick as all get out. I have had colds and flus but this was different. I really can not put my finger on it. I just feel a change. For the past week I have slept, read and coughed. I have fussed at invisible people in my room. I was not delusional, I just spoke into the atmosphere what I felt. Being frustraighted with the aches, pains, coughing, sweating and just being totally uncomfortable, I spoke verbally healing, help, direction and most all provison. God answered. I was reminded that He is God. I was humbled by the blessing brought to me my someone I did not expect but, thats God. He sends is best soldiers to do his best work. He also sends the weakest too. You see each of us no matter our abilities have a gift and not using that gift is in disobedience to God who gave us the gift. It does not take much. It does not take great effort. We just have to use what was already instilled in us by the Great Creator.

1 Peter 3:8-12 NLT - Finally, all of you should be of one mind, full of sympathy towards each other, loving one another with tender hearts and humble minds. Don't repay evil for evil. dont retaliate when people say unkind things about you. Instaed, pay them bak with a blessing. That is what God wants you to do, and h will bless you for it. For the scriotures say: If you want happy life and goidvdays, keep your tongue from speaking evil, and keep your lips from telling lies. Turn away from evil and do good. Work hard at living in peace with others. The eyes o the Lord watch ober those who do right, and his ears are open to their prayers. But the Lord turns his face against those who do evil.

Today and everyday, show kindness to others. Share your smile, a hello, a have a good day with someone. You never know how this will affect the receiver. Now get to it. Make a phone call, send a physicsl card in the mail to someone. Do a "I just stopped by" drive by.

Your Father is watching to see what you do with His gifts.

Lord Bless

Celebration Of Life

Looking back over my life I can honestly say I did good shoot, I did better than good. Loosing my mother at 16 and me being a teenage mother I didn't crumble, crash and burn. Oh I did a zig when I should have made that zag. I believed too many lies and did not pay attention to the sirens warning me to run for the hills. I have made plenty of mistakes and many I wish I could go back and reverse, but God knew the plans he had for me because His word says that our steps are ordered. I have learned a lot about the psychological makeup of people including myself and that is why nothing surprises me anymore. I am not easily tricked up even though I may act like I don't see it, I do. I expect nothing and appreciate everything. Though I may be different, I celebrate my different because it and God has saved my life. Bad choices and learned lessons. At 52 there are things that no longer matter as they did when I was young and impressionable. Looking back, all I can say is tha...

I Won't Complain

After a few work days of buses not showing up for their scheduled stops, me getting home close to 2 hours later than normal, and no good sleep I'm reminded still, how good God is. Even the periodic snaps of depression and anxiety haven't caused me to forget how good God is. The key is encouraging myself because all storms pass. It amazes me to see so many people unaware of the true effects of mental illness. They tell you, get over it. They are the ones who have no debilitating physical or educational knowledge of the struggles. They don't understand the fight everyday to remain in a visual normal state of mind with tending to the tasks requiring your presence. They can't understand why you cry for no apparent reason. Unaware that some wish to lay down at any given time to sleep hoping to never awake again. Unaware that at any moment a fuse can blow in ones mind and all hell can be unleashed. Unaware that they may see beauty or bronze, while a depressive is seeing...

Stop Hiding Your Flaws part 2

In my last post, I talked about our flaws and why we shouldn't hide them. When I say flaw, I do not mean to insinuate worthlessness. No, I am pointing out that what others may see as a flaw, God created as a masterpiece, unique and particular. Yes, everything about you is unique and that is why I express the importance of not hiding. The definition of a flaw: a mark, fault, or other imperfection that mars a substance or object. Our lives are filled with many flaws. Unable to give birth, unable to read or write, unable to drive a motor vehicle. Deeper flaws of the physical and emotional are disfigurement, physical disability, missing limbs., mental illness. These are all unique. Why do I say unique? Because each of the above mentioned is an open door to revealing much more than the flaw itself. It is an opportunity to share and enlighten someone who needs to hear your story and see the winner before them. Courageous. Not defeated or defective...
