A joke for you.....

God bless us all as we are in a Holy week of passover.

  I want to talk a little bit about marriage today. Give me opinions if you like. I encourage and I like to see what other people think. As a woman who has been married for nearly 20 years, you tend to have gone through a lot.  Saying that I believe in the bible. Let me explain. I made a covenant (contract) in front of God to be married through sickness and good health, for rich and for poorer until death do us part. I never promise these things to my husband. I promised them to the lord. He is who I truly put in front of my home so that I have the strength to deal with all that is coming my way..... And it usually is a lot....lol
  Being this said, I have always seen myself as a very opinionated  woman with my own vision as to how a marriage should be. I believe in order to be respected by your spouse, you need to respect him first. Do not give him a reason to have an upper hand on you... If I yell first , I am just invited him to yell as well. If I argue first , then I am just invited him to argue.... etc, etc,,,.... It's like opening the door to the devil. I am in no means trying to tell you to be a wuss... But all you do has to be judged by God... Jesus came and die for the remission of our sins and because of this fact is why you need to be very careful how you address issues in your marriage. Everything you do is consider in the day when we are to be resurrected in the new Heaven...Why on earth would you allow anyone even your husband to let you stray from your crown of glory.
    There are so many times that I have wanted to just pack up and go but, as I attempted todo so, something always held be back and instead, I choose to read my bible and pray for forgiveness and understanding and best of all wisdom to deal with the cituation at hand that was causing me to want to leave in the first place.You can only save yourself. No matter how hard you try, your spouse has to want to be in God's presence for his blessing. We all do not get our blessing together . All we can do is pray for one another....As a woman we are built to deal with a lot. Our bodies are physically stronger and our minds even better. Our abilities to fix any problem that comes your way is a gift from God. Do not think that you are all that and a bag of chips, although we are all perfect in God's eyes. To say that you are not perfect is like saying God is a liar. Your choices and decisions are not perfect but you as an individual are perfect cause we are all made through the vision of our lord .Do not ever doubt yourself. Your spouse no matter how negative he can be can never put you down or make you feel like crap because you are perfect and you father up above loves you.
    I had been married before, I was in an abusive relationship that I stayed in because I misunderstood what marriage was about. I had never read the bible before therefore I was being mistreated very badly and in return I was mistreating an individual as well. I had a way out. You know when it is a blessing when you leave the transition is smooth. No fights , no arguments . Everything is there for you. A job, a home, and your family.... The most important thing... My kids were always my strength. I thank god for them. Without them I would not have seen the light . Who knows I might have been dead by now, so I thank God for saving me.

Allowing me to find a husband whom I can respect and love dearly .

 Here is a joke after all this seriousness...
" If you Marry a Pennsylvania Girl..."

       Three friends married women from different parts of the country.

   The first man married a woman from Utah. He told her that she was to do the dishes and house cleaning. It took a couple of days, but on the third day, he came home to see a clean house and dishes washed and put away.

  The second man married a woman from Louisiana. He gave his wife orders that she was to do all the cleaning, dishes and cooking. The first day he didn't see any results, but the next day he saw it was better. By the third day he say his house was clean, the dishes were done and there was a huge dinner on the table.
 The third man married a girl from Pennsylvania. He ordered her to keep the house cleaned, dishes washed, lawn mowed, laundry washed and hot meals on the table for every meal. He said the first day he didn't see anything, the second day he didn't see anything, but the third day, some of the swelling had gone down and he could see a little out of his left eye, and his arm was healed enough that he could fix himself a sandwich and load the dishwasher. He still has some difficulties when he pees...

    I thought this was funny condisidering I am from Pennsylvania.....

 Have a bless day and thanks for reading....

Good Friday and what it means to me....

Sorry I have not written in forever....  
      Hello everyone. I hope all is well with good health and good spirits. I know that you are all doing fine . My faith tells me so. We are not all perfect but, we are doing just fine. I have been overwelm with stuff and have not had time to write anything.
   Tommorow is Good Friday. A very touchy subject for me to even speak about without getting tear -eyed. The closer I seek God by reading the bible the more I can see what was going on at this time. The thought of all the cruelness that we as people were able to show and enforced on a person just does not make sense to me. Never mind the fact that this man "JESUS CHRIST" that walk the earth healing the sick, casting out demons. A man about peace and love and repentance. A man that came here to give us an opportunity to see that there is another way of living life. Not the sinful lives that we were showing at that time and even now.So I am enclosing in respect to Jesus Christ his crucifiction ...... his death as foretold by previous prophets.
    This comes out of the KING JAMES VERSION of the bible.
                                  Matthew 27: 35-54

35 And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots.

36 And sitting down they watched him there;
37 And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
38 Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.
39 And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads,
40 And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest [it] in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.
41 Likewise also the chief priests mocking [him], with the scribes and elders, said,
42 He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.
43 He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.
44 The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth.
45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.
46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
47 Some of them that stood there, when they heard [that], said, This [man] calleth for Elias.
48 And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled [it] with vinegar, and put [it] on a reed, and gave him to drink.
49 The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him.
50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;
52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose
53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.
54 Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.

Thank you Jesus for dieing for my sins. Thank you , because of you I am able to repent.  Because of you I am able to live.... Even in this sinful world..
