sometimes it's hard

Sometimes it's hard to love one another. When that one person keeps getting in your way at Wal-Mart on every isle, when you are trying to get somewhere and you were already late before you started, but that one person won't hurry up, when you are at a drive-thru and you're trying to get back to work or you're gonna be late, but the person in line can't decide what they want, or when you are frustrated with everyone, and someone asks you a stupid question....you snap.

Yes, it's hard during these times to remember that that person is someone's mother, father, or grandparent, but most importantly they are a sister/brother to you...they are a child of God just as you are one. Jesus said "...love one another, even as I have loved you." My favorite part of this is not that verse, but to me more importantly another one. You know how I am always saying to smile at someone, that in the moment you do you are letting them know God loves them, and you'll feel better, much less you knowing that your smile, may be the only one they get that day? It's true, but even more, Jesus told us to.."By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another." Now today smile at everyone...do God's will...and have fun!

God Bless!

mouse

A girl I work with's daughter was in the Mexican resturant eating when she felt something lick and nibble her foot. She looked under the table and saw...yep you guessed it....a mouse. She screams, kicks the mouse and looks and the mouse can't run...she's broke it's leg. So the waiters got the mouse, and she got her meal for free, but she couldn't eat it! haha! Moral of the story. Wear shoes in that resturaunt, cause the food may be raw. haha! Couldn't resist! Have a great weekend! God Bless!

yesterday and today

First off HAPPY BIRTHDAY late to the Cuz! I can't believe that I didn't say it yesterday! She is being teased that she is a lot older than what she is so just for her Happy 49th Birthday Charla!!! haha! On another note it was Vic's Birthday yesterday as well and I know I blogged that her Dad was doing better, but yesterday morning in his sleep he lost his battle. I know it is true that they are better off, but it is still hard on the family. Please pray for her and Vanna, and the entire family. Aunt Shirley made it to WV to see her Dad who is holding strong. Please continue to pray for those who are sick and their families. God Bless!

strength

Some days we don't feel as though we have the strength to do much of anything.  To get up, to eat, to not eat, to fight the daily battle of traffic, work, or relationships....why?  Mainly because we lose our confidence.  Our confidence in the ability to "handle" things.  Remember the verse: "I  can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." Phillipians 4:13.    We have talked before about how we are not alone, but we have not discussed how the devil attacks our confidence in the ability to achieve.  The ability that when we are doing what the Lord wants we can accomplish it through Him...not alone.  Repeatedly through the Bible God says that he will not forsaken us for he is with us.  If you have a doubt about something, first is it something that God wishes, second if it is then know that the devil is in play...including the attempted breakdown of your inner strength.  After you realize that keep telling yourse...
