Found Website

   I was talking to a friend of mine and wanted to help her with all I can , so I decided to put her website on my blog. It's  www.undercoverwear.com ... Agent number 85374 .This website sells a whole lot more than Pajamies and underwear's. Ladies we all know what it's like to be neglect. With being mom, and working and grandma and having a husband too , It's a lot, but we need to take time to pamper and indulge in ourselves once in a while... So I challenge you to do so.... Enjoy just you,,, whether that is just a new pj's ,a body spray or some lingerie for your husband or just extra stuff( you know what I mean stop blushing it's just us). My friends name is Elizabeth and her number in case you have any questions is 5708396974... Let her know you saw this in Sylvia's blog..... Thanks all.

Merry Late Christmas and a Happy New Year

   Hello everyone... Sorry for the late Merry Christmas and I hope that the season has found you in good health and prosperous in spirit. I have been extremely busy with the grandkids... They were here for the holidays and kept us busy. For Christmas we spent it here as usual and later that evening we went over our friends house to enjoy the rest of our evening. We had dinner and pastries and enjoy a few drinks amongst friends.... I had a good time... Later I will post some picks I have not been able to upload my camera.... Just installed Windows Vista... I know I am behind but, it's taking me forever to figure it out.

Awesome its all I can say when I saw Prince....

                               Hello everyone, Sorry it has been a while since my last post but, I have truly been very busy and just tired to be very honest... I hope all of you are doing great and in good spirits.
      Well let me tell you about Friday, we will start there. I went to see Prince at the Izod Center.. It was awesome. My children had got together and decided that the best gift to give their dad for his birthday was concert tickets.. We are such 80's fans it's not even funny. He did songs like Let's go crazy and 1999 and Purple Rain.. He had the Funkadelics come out and Lala Hathaway and just when you thought it was over he came out with Shelia E... It was great.. I had so much fun. He truly is an artist. His voice was superb and not superficial... I would recommend this concert to anyone.

      Well on Saturday I was suppose to go to work at 6 in the morning but, I got home late from the concert and had to go in by 11. It was ok my boss knew that I was going to the concert. I know I should have taken the day off, but I work in retail there is no such thing...
    Later that day we were all sick with the stomach virus and you can imagine the rest of the weekend...

Little Girl on a Plane ( Joke)

 Here is a joke for today...
     A stranger was seated next to a little girl on the airplane when the stranger turned to her and said, " Let's talk, I've heard that flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger." The little girl, who had just opened her book closed it slowly and said to the stranger, " What would you like to talk about?"
" Oh, I don't know," said the stranger. " How about nuclear power?" and he smiles.
" ok, " she said,  " That could be an interesting topic. But let me ask you a question first. A deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty and a horse produces clumps of dried grass. Why do you suppose that is?"
 The stranger, visibly surprised by the little girl's intelligence, thinks about it and says, " Hmmm, I have no idea."
  To which the little girl replies," Do you really feel qualified to discuss nuclear power when you don't know crap?"


    Don't kill the messenger...lol

Every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. (1 John 4:7)

 I had the opportunity today to get an answer from my heavenly father and I am thrilled...

 Hello everyone. Hope all of you are well in health and wealth but most important in spiritual gain. I have been very dreary these last couple of weeks because we felt that the church I was going to and dedicated the time and resources just wasn't going in the right direction as it should. You see you have a whole set of new Pastors, in today's world that have been through so much sinful stuff in their lives that when they find themselves in jail searching for something and all of a sudden they find Christ, they feel like they have been saved and the way that they understand the word the Bible is the way that they need to teach it.... I have encounter numerous Pastor like this until today....
     I am so tired of God having to compromise the Bible what he wrote because certain individuals that call themselves prophets of God and disciples, apostles rev., ministers, etc, etc,.... feel that they want to change traditions. I think in this matter they need to really go back and read the bible and analyze it better with a true open heart. God will talk to those who really want to hear and have it in their heart and soul to follow the word. See these are spiritual people  and not religious people. Religious people  are those who believe in God but do not really walk the walk. They go to church and that's about it. They are church going people but not spiritual people.
    I went to a church today and the Pastor there gave a little picture of his life. He said something that really hit the spot. He stated that for 15 years he was preaching and teaching and was not saved... He was still living in the worldly things and preaching about the godly things. What a deceiver he was... Then he got saved and he was so powerful in his word today , I could tell why I was there.. I wanted to go to the church that we use to belong to but my husband was feeling not to well. Therefore I was gonna go to the one that I started going in between and for some reason my spirit lead me somewhere else and this is how I ended up in this one... I know when you pray you get all your answers specially when you pray from the heart. I was just greatful to be at a church where the Pastor truly loves God and was not there to get attention from no one except glorify God for all the goodness he has done..
     My friends I hope I have not bored you but this is just how I feel.... Sorry

A joke " Thanksgiving"

I almost forgot,
  I wanted to share this joke that I read on my bi-weekly publication.
 It is call "Thanksgiving"
       A man in Phoenix calls his son in New York the day before Thanksgiving and says, " I hate to ruin your day, but I have to tell you that your mother and I are divorcing; 45 years of misery is enough,"
" Pop, what are you talking about?" the son screamed " We're sick of each other , and I'm sick of talking about this, so you can call you sister in Chicago and tell her."
    Frantic, the brother calls hi sister, who explodes on the phone, " Like heck they're getting divorced," she shouted, " I'll take care of this."  She calls Phoenix immediately and screams at her father, " You are not getting divorced. Don't do a single thing until I get there. I'm calling my brother back and we'll both be there tommorow. Until then, don't do a thing, you hear me?" and hangs up.
   The old man hangs up the phone and turns to his wife. " Okay, " he says, " they're both coming for Thanksgiving and paying their own way."

             What do parents have to do to get their kids to visit home and pay their own way.....lol

Another Long Day.....

  Hello everyone and hope all is well. I am fine. There is so much and yet so little to say.
 I am so not in the season spirit. I think I am getting over all the propaganda that this season has become. I personally think that the true meaning of this holiday has been change so drastically and I feel so sorry for the young children today that are not taught about Jesus. This is the real reason for this season. So when I see all the people trying to outdo each other on gifts, I am really sadden.
  This was the day that the Lord's only begotten son took form as a man and came to this earth in the flesh. To save all sinners . If you were or are a sinner then you need to analyze what you are celebrating this time of the year.
 It is indeed a joyous occasion but for a person like me all I see is peopleleaving the church more and more.
 My church has been attack. What I mean is someone has allowed the evil spirit act for them and has trickle all the way to the Pastor. I have pray really hard and ask my Heavenly father to guide me. This is our second church and I am already getting discouraged. I will never stop believing that christ died for my sins and that he is my saviour and that he is Lord......
 I think I want to build a website for like Bible studies for people that have question....Wish me luck . This website link that is at the bottom of this blog is the one that I had started for my church . I have enjoyed updating it and trying to build it up as much as I could. The reason I had started it was for people like myself that had to work on sunday morning and could not get to hear the sermon, so I thought let me put church on the internet .....

Busy week

Hello everyone. Sorry it has been a crazy week for me. Very busy with the holidays. On Saturday we had a gathering amongst friends for my husband's 41st birthday... We were so surprise to see that some of our friends that had never been to our house before did come and stood for a while. As a matter of fact they all left at the same time. I can remeber the clock reading 3:42 am when I last saw it...
  I was very happy even though I was tired as can be. We all had a great time and great conversation. We shared some thoughts and food and had some drinks... The evening went well. The children, got together and bought their dad Prince tickets for his concert. My husband has been a Prince fan since way before me and I thought it was awesome that they all got together to give him something so meaningful to him and something he will always remeber. Needless to say I will be going too.....

    I am so excited. I have not gone to a concert since I was a child and my parents took me..

Retail


Wow... Hello everyone. I hope the lord has blessed you with happiness today. Love and compassion.
The picture above is a pic from my job. We are in holiday mode and I'm trying to remember what it's like to deal with people in holiday mode. You would be so surprise to see how grown people act in this festive time of the year.
I am not talking about Thanksgiving either. I am talking about christmas.
Christmas that I remember is about the birth of our saviour Jesus , so why all the attitude and animosity for nothing. That's what's wrong in this world today. I am become a better person the more I search for Christ and I understand that not all people feel that way this is just my opinion and its the choice I made but, it's working for me. So why not...
Try loving those who are the most ridiculous People in the world that you can encounter....

Sunday is it traditional to go to church or do you enjoy it?

          Today I was not going to church.
  Sorry where are my manners. Hello how are you? Hope you are in great spirit even though your life might feel like it is falling apart. At least that is how I feel sometimes.
 As I was saying prior, I felt like not going to church today. I normally feel real excited and want to go. I feel like if I do not go I am going to miss a message that probably was meant for me. Nonetheless I went but not to mine. Not the one I am a member to. I realize then that it did not matter the church that we went to ,when you want a message you will receive it. It was a great thing to go. I was so disappointed that I thought by  not going to my church I was going to miss something, when in actuality it did not matter at all where I went to as long as I was ready to receive the message and want to learn and apply it to my daily living, I will never miss a message or a lesson. I have been for so long debating with people about the fact that people in church should not matter to you because you go to receive the message and understanding and not really associated with others, but the more I learn about Jesus, I realized that this is not true. You do need to be able to go and worship in a place were you can love and respect everyone because that was Jesus's message. If this is what I want to learn then I do need to be in a place where I am allow to do just that.....Not in a place of gossip and hate and people that enjoy to hurt one another. My friend told me once, church people hurt people. I did not understand it at first until I  went through a small encounter of it myself.  Then I understood. See people see a church as a place were all the wrong in the world stops for the moment and God is being given the glory for all he has done..If you can not see the difference from the outside in then that church is not doing its job of putting god first in that house for people that need to come there for comfort. They need a safe place to go to and what more safer place than in the house of the Lord.......

Black Friday Shopping

  Hello everyone. I hope all had a great Thanksgiving next to those whom you love and are grateful to have them by your side. I had spend the day with friends. It had snow a little here in Pa and I thought well we are stuck home , but it stop and became rain. So we decided to go. Had a great time and then went to another friends home. We had two events. It was a real nice day after all. Could not really enjoy to the fullest because I had to be at work at 3 in the morning for black friday. What a crazy day it truly is. People running around like maniacs and camping out so early in the morning. I guess its all the hype that gets people so amped up about going out so early. Trying to find bargains that they truly could have found the day before.........

Thursday...

 Today was a nice day. Hello everyone hope God has kept you strong today. How spirited can we be if we do not pray? This is a true fact. I was  strongly believe that all can be done if you just pray and add a little faith to this...
 I spend the day home today. A little cleaning. Slept in a little and had a great day. I went to lunch with my girlfriend and came home. I felt like watching the story of Moses and the ten commandments. .I have been feeling like I want to get more understanding of the bible and the people that had all this faith and heard god speak to them.

Beauty only God can create


Good morning my brothers and sisters. I am so blessed this morning I woke up to be able to talk about it. There is a big difference between telling someone you loved them and showing them. That is how I feel about our heavenly father. He provides all your needs but yet he has to wait around and see if you are ready to love him back. That's crap... Let me make something clearer , if you had to pay for air to breath how much would you pay. If you had to pay just to live what would you give. These are very simple questions that I do not understand how we can be confuse and not do for the one that provides me with the main necessity in life. That is life. Today you should just say thank you father,lord, god ,master for all you do for me. How much of a burden we have been as children and still he loves us enough to send his son for the remission of our sins...
Sorry to bother you guys early but, I'm truly meaning what I say. I love the lord . I thank the lord for all he is and has done in my life. May god be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

Church

 Hello everyone. Before I lay down to sleep I wanted to share a few words with you. Hope your Sunday was as beautiful as mine . It was a gorgeous day today. It was not cold and the sun was out so bright.  I had a wonderful day at church and even shed some tears to hear my husband sing. A song that reminded me of his dad. He has now pass on but, it was still an emotional moment. I just thought if he could have seen his son be in church singing like this , how proud would he have been. He was a Pastor at one time but, the devil tempted him and felt short from the glory of God at the end. Well my reason for this short blog this evening is because I want to quote you something I read about forgiveness. " When Jesus told us to pray for forgiveness of our debts as we forgive our own debtors, he knew who would be the one to pay the debt. As he would hang on the cross he would say," It is finished"....The debt is paid! There are some facts that will never changed. One fact is that you are forgiven. If you are in Christ, when he sees you , your sins are covered-- he doesn't see them. He sees you better than you see yourself. And that is a glorious fact. of your life."

Sign


Extra early good morning to everyone. It is about 4:30 am and I'm on my commuter bus ready to go to work. Not that I want to be there. But still glad that I have a job. So many unemployed this Christmas and holiday season. As much as it breaks my heart that a lot do not have this season . It hurts me more to know that some children won't have either.
I found out something very generous from a church that I do not go to. They actually have a link on their site if you are in need of a turkey dinner basket and you live in the pocono's area, then you can call or send an email to them and they will help you get a basket for a turkey meal. This is one if the main reasons I love church. The love that you should be giving to one another in time if need and in time of good. We should always be wanting to give and help. Even if it is our last pennies. They mean a lot to someone else. Offer a plate of food or a hug. A shoulder and s ear for those who need it. You would be surprise how far these things go and what a difference it makes in yours and their lives. After all is this not the way of the Christian? All Jesus Christ did for us I think in my opinion is the least we can do.
Please I beg you from the bottom if my heart support a church this season in helping families that through no fault of their own are not able to give their children a season. Go to Amy church and ask if there is s funding for Christmas that you can donate. They not only want monetary but they would probably appreciate a toy instead. In this church I know even though I do not belong to their congregation , I have volunteer to do a shoebox of different toys to send to a child. I thought it to be a wonderful idea. You send basic things like toothpaste , toothbrush, soap ,pencils, pens, notepads, tissues, markers, crayons, you know those little puzzle, etc .... These are just examples if the things that we take for granted and others find it a gift a treat.
The saying has always been it is better to give than to receive, I would not have it any other way. I will always try to give my last dollar if I could. I am able to breath and see and hear and walk and what more can I ask from my heavenly father so why not try to continue his message of love and prosperity . The website for that church is www.innovationchurch.org . I'm sure you can go to any local churches and they will have some kind of program there. Hope you all have a blessed day and may god keep you in love and spirit as the day goes by . Please pray for me as I for you my brothers and sisters in Christ.

Long day

Hello everyone. Hope you are on good spirits. The weather here in pa is a little cold but not as cold as it's gonna get... So we are still enjoying decent weather...it has not snow or iced in a while and we are so happy. Although it is very cold. I have now realized that I leave for work in the dark and come home in the dark. Daylight saving time is definitely not my friend. But I enjoy the extra sleep I got on sunday.

 I have a few things to get of my chest this day. First I want to say to those people that do not go to church but do acknowledge God and Jesus for who they are in your life sometimes that is all you need. You are not wrong. I have been going to church for a little over 2 years now and I can see why it is that people would rather worship and praise God i their own time and in their own homes.

 I have come to the conclusion that Church People Hurt People. You see a lot of times you have people that have been in church much longer than yourself and feel that they know more. That may be true but, in my case I have acknowledge God my whole life. I always knew the right from wrong and I always had put God in front of all. Earthly people today run the church and when you loose sight of the original pact that when you open a church you made with God , you condemn yourself. You become a money hungry church.This is what had happen to my last church I was going to. The church had held an ordination and the following sunday the Pastor of the church said in service that the congregation and their guests were cheap people.

 This did not go very well with me. Since when do God need money, He can do it all or have we forgotten. Granted we need finances to pay for a building to be able to go and worship in but do say that God needs your money because he doesn't. He needs your love and trust and faith. He wants you to accept and love one another. He has blessings in store for us if we would just stop the fighting. I mean a spiritual fight. The one you know when you are wrong but you do it anyway. Why do we do this to ourselves? We buried ourselves all the time. In my new church there are a few people that have an authority issue going on. I pray as I always try before I do things because is if something is really troubling you and you pray with the most sincere heart you will get the answer that you are seeking.So I pray like I was saying and I became less worry about someone bossing me around and reminded myself why I do go to church. I go to learn more about God . I go to get a message. An interpretation of the bible that I can not get myself. I go to say thank you for keeping me another day and not letting me go. For allowing me to be your daughter even though we are sinful people. In my testimony on sundayI profess to the church that I love everyone. I truly meant that. For the first time in a long time I was ablre to say something and mean it. I get ridicule a lot at work because I am always happy and very few times you see my upset even though it is 7 in the morning and the weather might be horrible. I tell everyone is the love of Jesus that is in me...

I read this in a book . The book is called" GOD"S INSPIRATIONAL PROMISE BOOK" by Max Lucado.

"I am frightened by our ability in America to convince ourselves that we don't need Jesus. We can amass fortunes, we can get degrees, we can own our house all on our own. And yet, there's a certain affluence that we can attain when we become poverty-stricken-- a certain humility that comes with trials, that bring us face to face with the Saviour."
  And it goes to say that
" God exalts humility. When God works in our lives, helping us to become humble, he gives us a permanent joy: humility gives us a joy that cannot be taken away."

   Pray today... ANd love

Communion


Hello everyone. Hope you have a great day. I went to church today for it was communion Sunday. It's observe usually the first of the month. The first sunday that is. I learn the significant of the communion. I have always been taught that unless you did not sin you were not allowed to partake of communion. However today I was reminded of the last supper and the real meaning and how important the last supper was to the world. We are keeping a reminder of the sacrifice that Jesus did for us. We were wash by the blood of Jesus therefore we are faultless Christians through Christ. I heard a song that was on the radio and normally I would not have listen to this kind of music but the lyrics caught me ear. It says my best friend gave me the best advice, each day is a gift and not a given right... Think about today if you knew that tommorow was your last day how would you live it. How good would you feel to be in front of god......

Bible.

There was once a time when I read the bible and had no idea what in the world I was reading. Not understanding the bible was one of the reason's why I never had the urge to go to church.. I had always been against forcing religion on my children when I had a hard time with it myself...
Now I have been reading more and found bible's that were interpreted in our English today. So I now understand what I am reading and some of it saddens me to know that we are not that much different even after having a miracle walk this earth...

Leading Ladies Dinner

   Good Day to all,
 I am so sorry that I have not really done a good post in a while. Justtruly have been very busy and tired. The holidays are starting up at work and my boby is trying to catch up with it.
   In any event, I had time last sunday to go and worship with another church . The name of it was called innovation and it was a total different experience than what I was a custom to. It was truly a different experience altogether. I will add a link to their website so that maybe you can see what I was talking about. I  have never been in a church that did not have the cross , instead they have a cube and the cube represents perfection.
  I was invited to go to the Leading Lady dinner that they had for women to fellowship together. I thought what a great idea this would be considering I would be among christian women and would discuss everyday life . It was not like that but, we worship together and sang together and ate together. I actually felt comfortable. It gave me an idea to invite the ladies in my church over to fellowship at my home and discuss women issues that pertain to us and our walk with God.
  The link is http://www.innovationlife.org/

My Mother-in- Law

         This picture is my mother-in-law at our church at New Life Faith Temple singing for the Lord.
The woman you see here is my mother in law.. Her name is Mary. I admire her a lot and I will explain why I have decided to talk about her today.

Hello everyone ,hopefully your day was great and wonderful under the spirit of the Lord that embraces us everyday.
  I wanted to start by showing you a picture of my mom... She is my mother in law but, has been a part of my life for so long that she is mom.. I have been with my husband for approximately 20 years and therefore she has earn that title from me..
 This woman has gone through so much in her life and I have been witness to that. I have seen her go through the most diffucult divorce ever... I mean she was married 25 years and all of a sudden her husband a Pastor at that just went crazy and forgot the Lord... Since he has past on but, the strentgh that this woman has received from just being faithful to God no matter how bad the storm was is incredible. She almost lost her house and God made a way for her to be able to keep it. She had lost her job and found one better than the one she lost.. Who in the world at the age of 55 years old can find a good job with benefits that is willing to take someone in that is almost at her retirement age.... God made it possible for her.. She lay every night on her floor and pray to the only person that knew what she really needed in her life . She since has retired and now she has been able to raise her other grandchildren against all odds. No one understands why she puts up with all the hassle of taking care of three young children. Ages 10,8,5. Two boys and one girl. Did I tell you she has retitred early just to be able to take them in and care for them because she knows is what the Lord has chosen her to do and he has made a path for her to follow. She is very obedient and for this she will be very bless with the rest of her life...She truly is and inspiration to all... Shows you the power of prayer and believing that it will happen at God's time and not yours. Waiting with patience and having the faith that it will happen... Is what we should all be doing!!!!!!!!! At least I know is what I have started to do and I have notice a lot of changes in my life as well.Some call it coincidence, and I tell them I do not believe in coincidence I believe that it was my path that was put in front of me and it is confirmation to what I am suppose to do...
   I have a grandchild myself and I can now related to why she takes care of these children. It is a love that you can not find anywhere else. You want to make sure that anything that you made have did wrong with your children you can fix with these. It's like a do over...
This is the first time I can ever recall that she has taking a sip of wine.... I had to take a picture and the lady next to her is Ms. Ann . It is her very best friend. They came to visit us from Virginia.    

       

       I was reading a Psalm today . It was # 92 It starts out by saying " it is good to give thanks to the Lord, to sing praises to the most High. It is good to proclaim your unfailing love in the morning, your faithfulness in the evening...If you have time you should read the rest. It is truly beautiful .



    I pray, Father God thank you for you are and all you do for those of us who deserve and who dont for only you can judge and we are here to love each other and not condemn one another. I want to thank you for my health my children my grandchildren my life for the good of it and the bad for if it was always good we would never seek you and the love that you have given us and the mercy should be more than enough for us to want to do all that we can to seek you and walk the path that you have chosen for us.. Thank you for loving us so much that although we sin knowingly and unknowingly you still love us.... I love you Lord ... In jesus name I pray
                             Amen

Joke for today..

Hello all... Hope your day was as great as mine. I love God and that is why not  much bothers me.. Hope you have the same Joy... Try it sometimes..

  On another subject, today's weather was terrible. Very foggy and humid and raining. The temperature though is great. Go figure that..
My day was very simple ,went to work as usual. Nothing different but somehow it was great. My grandaughter keeps me going and I am  about to eat a piece a cake that my dear husband had baked earlier today.. He makes very moist cakes, super delicious. Very Fattening but I do not care. I have learn to love myself and accept my weight gain as I am getting older.
    I have a joke to tell you today, I was reading and it had me laughing so I hope that it those the same for you... here it goes.

                GRANDMA GETS SOME ANSWERS

A sweet grandmother telephoned St. Joseph's Hospital. She timidly asked," Is it possible to speak to someone who can tell me how a patient is doing?"
   The operator said," I'll be glad to help , dear. What's the name and the room number?"
  The grandmother in her weak tremulous voice said, "Norma Findlay, Room 302."
The operator replied, "Let me place you on hold while I check with her nurse."
  After a few minutes the operator returned and said, "Good news. Her nurse has told me that Norma is doing very well. Her blood pressure is fine. Her blood work just came back as normal and her Physician, Dr. Cohen, has scheduled her to be discharged Tuesday."
  The grandmother said, "Thank you. That's wonderful! I was so worried! God bless you for the good news."
The operator replied, " You're more than welcome. Is Norma your daughter?"
The grandmother said ,"No ,I'm Norma Findlay in 302. No one tells me SH**!"

    I found this joke in a bi-weekly publication in 'Our Town"..


    PJ Thanks for the compliment. The pic was taken by my son. We were at Oceancity Maryland. WE were just enjoying one of God's greatest gift... The Beach....

Girls fun


Great good morning everyone. Hope that today is a great day for all of you.. Just give thanks to the lord for giving you another day and everything will be ok..
This picture was taken in my truck when I went to Va. This past week to visit my grandmother.. These little girls are our future and it was amazing to see how much they resemble the past. My granddaughters look like both of my daughters and my little niece looks like her mom.. Just like twins.
The great thing I found out is how wonderful it is to be given a second chance to be a mother again.. Fix what you could have done better. Not a lot of people get that concept. Grandmothers today are more important than back then. It's like we became surrogate moms overnight . But what can you do but be grateful that you are still here on this earth to partake of the up bringing of your grandchild..
I know that sometimes you get overwhelmed but somehow you did it back when you was a mom and you will find the strength now that you are a grandparent.
Speak to you later ..
Sylvia

The girls

They were just all hanging out having a good .
These are the days that we have to cherish....,,

upset Saturday

        Hello everyone. Hope your Saturday was good. It was a very nice day in Pennsylvania...
Work was crazy.. I had not been there in a few days. As I told you guys yesterday I went to Virginia to see my grandma  Ruby....


                           This is Grandma Ruby and my husband....





She has not been feeling good. This is how I feel today. I'm tired and drain. My grandaughter went with her mother. It's quiet here today. I was able to take a small nap...
My daughter made me so mad today that I had to pray for patience and just really stop bothering with her..

Memories

   Hello everyone. Sorry it has been a couple of days that I have not been able to write. Not that I did not want to. 
   I wanted to say thank you to our Heavenly Father for granting us another day in this world.

                                              My Grandma Ruby Is Almost 90 Years old
                                            doesn't she look great???????


  This woman you see right here is my grandama Ruby... She has been battling sicknesses for over 10 years. According to hospice they had given her 6 months to live.... That was about 6 years ago.. Although she is very ill, she still has the spirit of the Lord with her... It is very admirable to see someone of her age which is almost 90 still be around and be able to tell tales of back then.. It's nothing like listening to it from your very own family. I pray for her well being all the time ,but as you see she is a warrior and for what ever reason our heavenly father has blessed her to still be with us. I think it is truly a miracle that as the Dr.'s almost sign her death certificate 6 years ago God has other plans and he is the true decider on when your time is up on this earth.... Not knocking the medical proffession in anyway.

   This week my husband and I went to go and see her. I hope that I am able to go and see her on a weekly basis before she departs this earth.. Although she would definetely be sadly miss she has had a long fight ....I could only hope that I am that strong when I become of age...
    I heard her sing a song and frankly I have never heard her sing before.. It was call "Walk with Me Lord", I think that I am going to ask my husband who is the choir director of our church to sing that song for my grandmother even though she is in Virginia. I know she can hear it in her soul...

   I pray Father thank you for allowing me to be here on this earth to see my family another day for we know that tommorow is not promise to us and those that we hold dearly are not promise to be here with us another day so we cherish the times that you do give us . We love you and embrace you and pray for our souls that we may have lived our lives abundantly and in your ways and not ours, that we may make you proud of this generation of struggling children of yours on this earth still trying to find their way home to you. We pray that you comfort all those that are sick and that are sick in their hearts , that  they may find their way back to you before it is to late. That they may reeem themselves and accept jesus as their savior. I pray for all..... In Jesus name


Amen:::::

Women's Day AT Church

Hello everyone. Today is a special day. For those of you who do not know, it is breast cancer day. Even though this whole month is set aside for just that. We also have lung cancer. To me we should dedicated more months for cancer of all types period. We should educate ourselves and do a lot of prescreening to avoid what can be avoided... Cancer has killed so many people and it is very important to discuss this disease as much as possible... It kills fast and it also kills you slowly...

Today it was Women's Day at our church.. Our service started at 4 pm. Thanks to all that came to support your fellow sister. It was truly a blessing the message that was pass to me. It was all about Faith...
We all can relate to the fact that our faith gets tested often... Is how much faith we have that bring us out, by yourself you could have never done it.
This was New Life Faith Temple's 2nd Women's Day Service....
It was an honor to be part of it...

Have faith in the lord people... The rewards in itself are so worth it...


I'm going to leave you with this I read .

" Everybody can be great... because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Tranquility

Hello everyone. Hope all is well with all of you. My family is great so I'm at peace. This picture was taking while in the bus. As all you already know , I commute to work and for those of you who did not know, now you do. But anyhow this was what I woke up to after a quick nap.
Just this morning it was cold and raining. A very fall/winter day. Now the sight of beauty and peace is above me ... I'm staring out the window and looking at the clouds. Everything looks peaceful and tranquil....

Commuting


Hello everyone. Hope your day is good and you are out enjoying the weather. Here on pa the weather was crazy yesterday but today it's beautiful. We had a thunderstorm and in some areas hail but nothing to drastic.
I just want to say that most of my day was ok and it usually is like that until I get on the bus to go home. The commuter bus. You see I live in Pennsylvania but , there is no real jobs here do I travel to new York everyday. I therefore commute. It usually is a 2 hour commute but traffic gets bad and it could turn to 3 hours very easy... People are normally friendly, but there is always one in a bunch ... The good part of commuting is that you get to sleep those hours and the worst to me is that you trust someone else's driving to carry you back and forth...
I use to drive myself and it cost me a lot of money. I was barely bringing home anything so I started commuting.
There you have my drama. The other bad part is also depending on the driver to make good and bad decisions. It can add up to another two hours in commute .will continue my post later let me find out what this bus driver is doing now lollllll

A poem

 An Empty Tomb Instead

     
    They came to the quiet garden
 In the early morning gloom,
 And there in the shadowed darkness
They found an empty tomb.

  They brought their scented spices
 To anoint the hallowed dead,
But found, to their amazement,
 The Living Lord instead.

  Their hearts were heavy-laden
 Bowed down with deep despair
But when they lifted tear-dimmed eyes,
   LO, Jesus was standing there.

 They thought all hope had ended
With Calavry's dying breath .
But they found a powerful Savior,
   Triumphant over death!

On that wonderful Easter morning,
In a garden sweet with dew,
   A world to save
 To live and reign anew.

 So oft in the midst of sorrows
When hope seems cold and dread,
with lifted eyes, we too may see
An empty tomb instead..

Coming to a conclusion

  Good day everyone...
       Hope your day was filled with love and grace . I am doing ok, but could always be better.. Financially I'm so in debt I sometimes do not know how I am coming out but, somehow by God's great mercy I do..
I today had to take off. My son, the baby in our family, who is 16 years of age, had to have eye surgery.
 It made me realize that I am no longer needed like before. He went in with my husband and I waited outside. Although it might seem minor to most of you, my son has never had to have anything of this nature or any other done to him. I was concern and I thought he might be afraid. Never share a thought or a comment. Barely said how the surgery went and what did it feel like. So, I came to the conclusion that I was no longer needed as a mom.
    He has always be a loner but, has share a lot of things with me along the way. I do not know if to feel happy about it or sad. It has really not hit me yet. He is our youngest of 4 and somehow I thought that I would be happy when he no longer needed me but, I guess there is always something that as a mother I want from my kids at no matter what age and that's to feel like they need me ...
    Well my oldest moved out and I am happy for her. She has a duplex for her and my grandchild. She has come a long way in a short few months. I just wish that she makes wiser decisions but, she is one of those that have to learn the hard way.
    My daughter in Virginia turned 21 today. And my 19 year old just got a job as an Asst. Store Manager. Very proud of her...
     Today is Columbus Day......... Enjoy America and it's freedom

Continuation from this morning

As I told you this morning , I witnessed a miracle unfold in front of my eyes. To be honest we had assumed the evangelist had maybe put a 100 dollars but it definitely was so much more. Only god knew what she needed. Not even she knew for god had sent her someone to cover her electric and water . To close this chapter the needed amount for the electric was 153 and the water was 584 what she received was 800 ... Tell me that's not a miracle. That was nothing but god at best... It went to a much deserved family and hope that the lord blesses this evangelist tremendously... For she truly was an angel and did not do it because she had too but because she has love for Christians( brothers and sisters) in Christ ...

Missing my grandchild


GeoTagged, [N40.76026, E74.00737]

Extremely good morning to everyone. Sorry I have not been able to blog any for a couple of days. There are a few things I want to share today.
First, I miss my granddaughter. My daughter just got her apartment and yesterday my granddaughter spent the night at her home. Or her new place because my house is home. Being that said, I must admit although we needed much rest , we miss her. By we , I mean my husband and myself. He truly misses her more than me because he is closer to her..,
My god it was a miracle that I witness a few days ago. I know it was a miracle that only god can do because after I tell you the story you realize there truly couldn't be no other way.
A few days ago, a family I know got there electric turn off. The husband had been battling spiritual battles which become emotional and it affects your financial situation as well. I know this personally. Well the family came and stayed with us. We talked about the situation and how it can't get worst, we exchange some spiritual conversations. I prayed for this family. They have four children 10 and under and the husband is very disable. Can not work at all. She had just got laid off. When you have no faith or are lacking a bit or a lot and things like this happen , you feel overwhelmed and let down by the Christ . If you had faith in the first place it has decreased . But let me show you how God himself allowed me to witness a miracle....
Remember this family was in my house and we all had good conversation and the kids went to bed and we all just talking things through. I had no money to offer to help pay for the electric but, what I did have was faith that my god that I love would not allow this family to go without. He was just about to show them just what he is capable of. We went to bed and slept ,woke up the next morning started making some phone calls to see how we can turn this electric back on. Well we called the electric company and found out what we needed to get it back on . Now knowing the amount we were calling all the social services , salvation army and all these agency . What we did not think to do was call on God first. See although we prayed about the situation we did not asked him for help and guidance. So we are about to leave to go to one of these agency when her phone rings. It was God. Let me explain . On the other line was an evangelist from our church that we attend, and had ask the family to come over she wanted to help her with something. Now she had no idea what's going on because the electric got cut off at night and it was about 1 in the afternoon the next day. We had not call any church members to trouble them with the circumstances. Really did not think about it. Anyhow we went to her house and she gave the lady an envelope and a much needed hug . We left and stop and pray. We thank god and then we open the envelope. It was enough money to turn on the electric and water. Because the next day the water had got shut off. I almost cry for her and just hug her and thank god for blessing her. I will continue later so please come back and have a great day.....,

A story to tell

 Good Morning to all. I want to say hello. How are you doing? Do you need someone to pray with today? Our service at church was about being not just a christians by word but by actions and giving glory to God for all that he truly does for us in our lives daily... We always want to take all the credit for the things that we think we do ,  but in actuality all the credit goes to God that through you he is able to do such miracles...


   Here is my story that I read for the day ...Really it is more like a cheer for those who are afraid....



    Don't be afraid to FAIL

    You've failed many times, although you may not remember.
You fell down the first time you tried to walk.
You almost drowned the first time you tried to swim, didn't you?
Did you hit the ball the first time you swung at a  bat?
Heavy hitters, the ones who hit the most home runs, also strike out a lot...
R.H. Macy failed seven times before his store in New York caught on.
English novelist John Creasey got 753 rejection slips before he published 564 books.
Babe Ruth struck out 1,330 times, but he alsohit 714 home runs.
Dont worry about failure.
Worry about the chances you miss when you dont even try......

A joke for today.....

Here is my joke for today... Enjoy


   What Did You Say?
    A guy is out, with his buddies, has a few drinks, is feeling a little frisky, but- true  to his wife, goes home...
 He finds her sound asleep in bed with her mouth wide open, so he gets two aspirin and drops them in her mouth...
    She starts to choke, but recovers and asks- " What did you put in my mouth?"
He says, " Two aspirin."
 She replies, BUT I DONT HAVE A HEADACHE! "
He says " That's all I wanted to hear."

CONTINUATION PART II From this morning

   I apologize for not being able to tell you the joke I also read.. I got a little emotional so I had to take a moment for myself..

   Anyhow I usually get the bi-weekly publication from our town... This booklet is filled with all sorts of whats happening in our county.
   I find a lot of funny jokes that faithful  readers submit.
 " Talk About Getting Old"
     Poor Mildred was a 93 year old woman who was particularly despondent over the recent death of her husband Earl. She decided she would just kill herself and join him in death.Thinking that it would be best to get it over with quickly, she took out Earl's old Army pistol and made the decision to shoot herself in the heart since it was so badly broken in the first place...
  Not wanting to miss the vital organ  and become a vegetable and burden to someone, she called her doctor's office to inquire as to just exactly where the heart would be . " On a woman," the doctor said, "your heart would be just below your left breast."

   Later that night, Mildred was admitted to the hospital with a gunshot wound to her left knee......Lol

 Here is a little joke for the kids
Q. Why did the Easter egg hide?
A. He was a little chicken!

 I know a little late but early for next year.. Have a blessed night and may peace be with you..

Raining with laughter

   Good morning everyone. Hope all is well and in good health or as good as it gets..
  I am off today and of course it is soaking wet outside... It is funny how God makes me rest.. I was just complaining about how tired I am and all I have to do on my day off. Well I hate going out in the rain so guess what . I am staying home. Getting the rest that is much needed. I was reading some stuff last night and bump into a few good things. First there was a joke and then there was an inspirational quote and then there was a small story that really capture me. It is something that I do and to see that other people do it to, was a comfort to me.
      I guess I'll start by telling you the story,
 It was a young man that remember's when he was a child and his family was much less fortunate than others. This was Thanksgiving time. He tells how someone came and knock on their door and brought them a box of food and a huge turkey and even brought pans to cook it in. They were very poor at the time and the father was very stubborn and refuse to ask for help, nonetheless the stranger at the door simply stated that some friends he knew saw they were in need and would not accept direct help. Although the father refuse the help the stranger walk away and told him he had no choice...
         Many years later this man that is no longer a child remember's this  and had promise himself to pay it foward. So he goes and purchases bags of food for needed families and brings it to them. He actually goes to the disadvantages neighborhoods and gives bags of food.
        I can remember this same exact thing happen to me. Except I was the adult. It was one thanksgiving day and I had no real home for my children or so I thought. See my definition of home at the time was a big house with the white picked fence and a dog.. But, much to my dismay , I learn through that particular thanksgiving that home is where there are a bunch of people that enjoy each other and make a family. People that come together in their hardest times and still love each other and make the best out of a bad scenario. I had two girls and fairly young myself.. The lady I was staying with was an angel that had basically been sent from God to shield me but at the time, i had not known that. This particular Thanksgiving she had lost her job and all I had was a part time one... Not a lot of money coming in so food was very scarce and needless to say no money for a big Thanksgiving dinner... ( Keep this in mind, it's the reason i hate the way the goverment runs the Welfare system) A lot of you might ask why did we not go and apply for food stamps, and we did but because she had owned her home we did not qualify even myself with a part time job maybe bringing in 150 every two weeks and having two girls did not qualify.... But this magical day as we were contemplating in just throwing some hotdogs and make the best of the evening their was a knock on the door. It was a few ladies that came from a church that had A tote of food.. Not a bag a tote of  food and a big turkey and enough food to last us for a good month... I tell you no lie it was such an experience I melted down and just started to cry. They had invited us over to their church and we went and I actually had a great time. Still not understanding the significance of a church but just being grateful that they were sent to our home by someone  we still till today do not know and I am talking about 15 years later, I still do not know.. We kept in contact with the church and a week later they had came by again and this time brought us gifts for the kids. I had two girls and my friend/sister had a son.. They even brought them brand new coats and scarfs and gloves . Boots you name it.. Right now as I am reliving this memory my heart is still overwhelmed by the kindness of some people and it still puts tears in my eyes.. Anyhow I had made a promise to myself that one day I would be in the position to help others even if this meant that I would skip a holiday serving to give it to others. I would not overindulge in gifts for myself and help buy for others that really need it. A child does not understand that Santa did not visit them because there was no money... They just feel that they were bad kids and that is no way to feel... I have personally seen those faces in  my own girls and as long as I can I will help assure that some children do not have too.
     I am not wealthy at all, but I do collect for kids in need. I start to buy little things almost all year around and there is always a child that needs a gift. This year it is my mission to start a drive at my church for kids less fortunate... I want to do like this gentleman in this story and pay it foward. The reward is in the satisfaction of being a christian at heart....
                     " I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said ' It is more blessed to give than to receive' "
                                                                                                 Acts 20:35

  With much love , I will pray for all tonight and hope that this year you keep in mind those less fortunate than you and help your fellow brothers and sisters in christ , that they not need food or shelter in these hard times..

Grandchildren


This is Jenelle. We call her the green eye bandit. She is so precious to us. You know I never realized that when we became grandparents it was like god gave us more children to take care of and do the things that we could not do with our own. There is nothing in this world that my husband and myself would not for our grandchildren. I never though in a million years I would be taking care, or let me say it correctly , helping take care if our grandchildren. My youngest grandchild moved in with us and although it is tiresome , it has it's great moments. We are so much in love with her because she is like a do over of our daughter. Now we get to see our daughter be a mom and help with our grandchild... Isn't God awesome....

Raining

Today was a good day. Hello all today is a rainy day. When I see the rain it makes me think that god is washing the streets and feeding the birds and the ocean. Most of us hate the rain. Things are wet and mushy . You have to carry an umbrella . It slows traffic down. The sky us grey. Nothing beautiful about it but if you see it as if you are being fed and bath and given something to drink then your rainy day becomes wonderful.

Work went by really fast . I hardly got to go to the bathroom. (I always have to go) and barely had the chance to talk to my family. See how their day was.
Lord I thank you today for all you do. Everything that you provide and the things that you promise us. Only you know the place and the time for our seasons I just thank you for your understanding . Thank you for all that you are and all that you do . Even when we do not deserve things. Thank you for your mercy dear father. In Jesus name I pray....amen

Missing my Husband

  Lonely is what I feel right now... It is funny how life is. I always thought a couple of days by my self would be great . Relaxation but, the truth of the matter is ,I miss my home. What I mean is that my household is not complete. My husband had to go away to work for a week at another state so I am here with my kids. There is no noice and I feel like I am going insane. Is this normal? Am I crazy?
    Thank you for today heavenly father, the strength that it took me to go to work with what I call the worst of colds... THE FLU>>>>> Everything hurts and no one to take care of me. Not even to yell at me because I am not taking my medicine.. Is that funny or what?

Daily joke

Beware of That Undewear Dust..............

      One evening a husband, thinking he was being funny , he said to his wife, " Perhaps we should start washing your clothes in Slim fast. Maybe it would take a few inches off of your butt!"
    His wife was not amused, and decided that she simply couldn't let such a comment go unrewarded. The next morning the husband took a pair of underwear out of his drawer.
     "What the heck is this?" he said to himself as a little " dust" cloud appeared when he shook them out.
     "April," he hollered into the bathroom , "why did you put talcum powder in my underwear?"
   She replied with a snicker. "It's not talcum powder, it's MIRACLE GROW!!!

    You guys just never learn, do not tick off the woman.

 This was a joke that was in the "Our Town" bi-weekly publication in Pocono Mountains, Pa

Picnic

    Good day everyone. Hope all is I was glad I had work. Today I had a long day at work, but I was glad I had work .So much unemployment going on. Today was the youth picnic at the park for the children at our church. I made it there in the nick of time. They were so kind and waited for me. I saw my family in christ and I had so much fun just talking and having a great time.....

       " Smile at each other, smile at your wife, smile at your husband, smile at your children, smile at each other--- it doesn't matter who it is--- and that will help you to grow up in greater love for each other...                                                                  Mother Teresa

having compassion

Good morning, Hope your holiday was great. Now the kids are back to school and the winter is approaching. I want to make sure I thank my heavenly father for all that he gives me and all the love he shows me even in hard times. Saying this I want to share a story that my Pastor has told us on bible study and when you read it meditate and let me know what you discern from it. Thanks in advance.... Love you all and I pray that all is well I'm your lives.. Your sister in Christ Sylvia I’M SORRY DOGGIE Once there was this little boy. As he was sitting in class one day, he was distracted from the normal every day routine of classroom activity by a rumpling sound that seemed to come from the garbage dumpster. Soon what revealed itself was a little mangy puppy that someone had thrown away. As the little boy watched from the classroom window, he couldn’t figure out what the little mangy dog was doing. Was he trying to get out? Was he trying to get warm? Was he trying to find something to eat? Soon none of that mattered to the little boy, for he knew that before the day was over the sanitation dept. would be there to dispose of the school’s trash and replace it with a new dumpster. Realizing this, his heart was gripped with compassion. Being bound by the classroom and the clock on the wall, he could only hope to be released from both, before the garbage truck arrived. Stirred by compassion that produced love in his heart, he began to ask God to give him an opportunity to do something before it was too late. Forgetting his classroom assignment, he spent the last ten minutes watching the dog and listening for trucks. FINALLY! The bell rings! The boy springs from his seat, leaves his books, hurries to his locker, grabs his coat, runs downstairs out the building around to the rear of the school, leaps into the garbage container, and takes hold of the mangy little mutt. Holding him close to his bosom, and speaking softly he says “don’t worry, your safe now and everything’s going to be alright”. Looking at the dog and seeing what seems to be a puzzling look his face. The boy says. “Oh, not me by myself, I know I can’t give you what you need, I mean after all I’m only in the third grade, But you see I have a big family. I’m one of nine children. I have eight brothers and sisters and we are all children of the same father. He’s gone away on business right now but he’ll be back you’ll see. Just wait till you meet him. He’s the most loving father in the whole universe, and my father taught us all that we should love just like he loves. So you see, you have nothing to worry about now. When the boy finally reaches home he hurries into the house to show his brothers and sisters the great events that have transpired over the course of a day. “First” he goes to his little sister’s room. “Hey look” he says. But before he could get any further the sister screams at him and tells him how ugly the little mutt is and that she wants it not only out of her room, but that he should take it away from the house as far as he could. The little boy, hurt but shrugs it off and explains to the dog, “she’s’ little, she doesn’t quite understand how we are supposed to love, please forgive her for her immaturity. Now changing his strategy, the little boy figures maybe he should start from the elder brother. Believing that if the younger children see the older ones respond in the right way they will then understand what it is to represent the father irregardless of how they feel about it. Yes you guessed it this also blows up in his face. Even going through the whole family he found out that “there is none that doeth right, no not one. Finally after every attempt to cover for his family’s insensitivity, he now see that all is hopeless and he realizes that the only thing he can do now is simply ask for forgiveness himself. I know what I promised you. And I really feel bad, I know the things I said probably caused you to get your hopes up, but I really thought my family would respond in a different way. They always seemed to get it right when fathers around. I didn’t realize they only do it when they think he’s watching. Now crying and holding the little mutt to his face, the little boys holding him closer said “I’m sorry doggie” for thinking this way, but I still believe it will be different someday. “I’m sorry doggie” to assume this way, but I still believe if I continue to pray, the day will come when father will return and set all things in order. Until that day comes I’ll stand in for him. I can’t do all the great things like him, but the one thing that makes me just like him is…………….. I know how to be a friend.

A beautiful vacation














These are pictures from my vacation . I had to show these pictures first because I was walking with my family and I stumble accross this gentleman that was giving his testimony about his walk with Jesus. He talk about how he was deceived by some religion, so he chose to walk through Jesus instead... He was out in the sand just preaching the word of God....... This was an awesome thing to see for me. I was expecting to see the ocean and its natural beauty. It's the reason why I go to the beaches... And to try to get a tan, but that's something else..
Now thank you lord for allowing me to go and vacation with my family even though it was short it was still memorable. I enjoyed myself and planned to go back next year.. You think you miss church but, when you really want to received the word of God it will find you as it did my family and me.. Here are some more pics of the ocean and my family... Hope you all had a great Labor Day weekend..




This was a beautiful sight and breath taking..



It was very hot...

Beaches at 5 pm

 After a long day at the beach , Jenelle tired out while eating..

joke for the day

I read a joke and I want to share it with you . It was from our bi-weekly publication in 'our Town'.. Cajun Blonde After becoming very frustrated with the attitude of one of the shopkeepers, the young blonde declared, "well then, maybe I'll just go out and catch my own alligator and get a pair of alligator shoes for free!" The shopkeeper replied with a sly smile, "Well, little lady, why don't you go and give it a try?" The blonde headed off to the swamp determined to catch an alligator . Later in the day, as the shopkeeper was driving home, he spotted the same young woman standing waist deep in the murky water, shotgun in hand. As he brought his car to a stop , he saw a 9 ft gator coming rapidly towards her. With lighting reflexes , the blonde took aim, shot the creature and hauled it up onto the slippery bank. Nearby were 7 more dead gators all lying belly up. The shopkeeper stood on the bank, watching in silent amazement as the blonde struggled mightily and barely managed to flip the gator onto it's back . Then rolling her eyes heavenward , she screamed in frustration..... " CRAP THIS ONE'S BAREFOOT TOO!"

Gone home

Hello my friends and family in Christ. Hope this is a wonderful weekend of celebration as we dismiss the summer. The kids have returned to school and we are saying good-bye to the last days of summer before the winter months come. To me I have to say good bye to my grand daughter. She came up from Virginia for the month and I got accustom to her being around. Now I am on my way to take her home. Traffic on 95 is not so bad considering the Labor Day weekend. I thought it would be horrible . But to my dismay , I was shocked . I will post some pictures when I get home . I hope you are all in good spirits and good health and enjoy yourselves in any cookout that you may attend or you may be the host of. I do not normally ask but can you all say a prayer for my family. Thank you and may God Bless You.

Friends...

   
Hello everyone. Thank you lord for another day on this earth. Hope all is well.
   Today I went to see an old friend of mine. I always enjoy myself when we get together.It is always joyous. It made me realize that we dont really have a lot of time on this earth and our days are shorter and shorter and we need to cherish those special people in our lives that make a difference. So my new vow was to keep in touch more ,and not only when we have a death in our families do we need to see each other. Everyday we have is a special one........It's a gift from God

Thank You"s

Lord thank you, for waking me up another day. Thank you for the eyes that are able to see this beautiful day , thank you for the family that you have supplied me , even though at times I just want to hide... Thank you for the sorrows and the happiness ,thank you for all the limbs that work in this body though some avhe but not broken . Thank you for th e spiritual food and the earthly food. Thank you for allowing us to repent and ask for forgiveness and thank you for loving us and forgiving us even though at times we may not deserve it. Thank you for loving us so much that you send your only begotten son Jesus to save us from sin. Thank you Lord for just being you....................
                                                      In these words I pray Amen


    Sometimes in life we argue about everything that we do not understand. We complain when we have to do something we do not like and we expect things to happen for us even though we have not prayed and acknowledge the true gifts that we have been receiving all of our lives.. Take the time today to acknowledge the beautiful things that are in your life today and appreciate them. We can all be in a worst condition. Let's today be joyful. Let's not argue or complain or do anything that will cause us to be negative. Try to maintain a happy face. Your family is a blessing and worth to be s,iling about. Picture yourself without them and how empty we would be. Yeah it may be nice to be alone for a minute but, that is how long we would want it for ....    Now picture how God feels everytime we do not acknowledge him but we ask for everything and more......
A nice Day

A snow Day The beauty of God
