Inspiration....

  Good evening to all. Thank you to our father in heaven who loves and guides us everyday. Thanks for everything ...
     Now I just want to share a few things of my life that are taking place as we speak... First my grandaughter below is growing so fast right in front of my eyes..Look for yourself

Here she is refusing to take a picture. Giving grandma a hard time. As usual... but, I love her so..

In this picture she is a the Drs. office

   Now can you believe she is almost three years old.... Where did the time go???
I am just so greatful to be able to be such a big part of her life. I have an opportunity to give her things that I could not do with my kids. My daughter is doing a beautiful job in raising her. I have to give her kudos because I do not know if I ever shared that she is basically raising her alone.My grandaughters father is not in the picture and therefore all the troubles and responsibility is left to my daughter to do. She is the mom and dad so for that I must say job well done..It is not easy in today's age to stay positive and storng ...
   I have been working on remodeling little things around my house. I am actually trying to set goals . I have a horrible habit of starting projects and not finishing them... This year is the year for all unfinished projects to be finished.. Wish me luck.. I know my husband is tired of my renovations that I never complete...lol
 Let me share some pics..

My dining room.. Needs a knew china cabinet a new light fixture and not to mention a new floor. It has carpet... SO want hardwood floor.... But my theme is consistent. I am into browns and tans.....

Need new window treatments (curtains). This is my living room... Another working progress . Need to paint.
If you can give any ideas all is appreciated....I have become desperate. I am determined that this is the year for completion in my life. See you tommorow and as always may God bless you,,,,...

A Solitary Life

    Hello everyone. I hope that as you read this it finds you in great health and good spirit. As for me always blessed no matter what goes on in my life.. Fanily is great and all are healthy. Can't ask for more than that.
   The other day as I was commuting on my bus, I decided to read a book that I had in my closet for a while just never picked it up. As I read through it , I discover a lot of big name people like, Rockefeller, Hershey, Woolworth and Heinz were big christian believers and givers. They donated a lot to their churches.... As I went through the stories I ran into one that actually had me in tears. ( Really in tears ,,, no lie) You can say I am very emotional at times... We measure greatness by the things that we have and the things we accomplish. What impact are we really doing for society to remember us by... If you leave this earth today , what would your eulogy sound like... What will people say about the kind of person that you were??? I had to research this for myself and examine the kind of person that I am and the one I want to be remember as. With all that being said I want to share with you one specific story about a person who has a left a big difference in this life......


           "One Solitary Life"
 He was born in an obscure village, the child of a peasant woman. He grew up in another village, where he worked in a carpenter's shop until he was thirty. Then for three years he was an itinerant preacher.
He never wrote a book. He never held office. He never had a family or owned a house. He didn't go to college. He never visited a big city. He never travelled two hundred miles from the place he was born.
He did none of the things one usually associates with greatness. He had no credentials but himself.
He was only thirty-three when the tide of public opinion turned against him. His friends ran away.
He was turned over to his enemies and went through the mockery of a trial.
He was nailed to a cross between twon thieves. While he was dying, his executioners gambled for his clothing, the only property  he had on earth. When he was dead, he was laid in a borrowed grave through the pity of a friend..
Nineteen centuries have come and gone, and today he is the central figure of the human race and the leader of mankind's progress,
All the armies that ever marched, all the navies that ever sailed, all the parliaments that ever sat, all the kings that ever reigned put together, have not affected the life of man on this earth as much as that one solitary life.......         Jesus Christ

My 18 year old

Hello everyone. Hope this post finds you filled with joy and happiness. All in my family are well and I pray that all in yours are well too... On Saturday I was so blessed to have taken my son out for dinner for his 18th birthday. I can not believe that time has went by so fast. It truly has been an honor to be his mother. He has never cause me any troubles at all so I am truly blessed.
Started visiting churches again. I had lost interest in looking for one but, I had also lost sight of the reason for going to church in the first place. I had to rethink things through and get my priorities straight..
My youngest grandaughter is getting so big.. She will be turning 3 in just three more months... I really enjoy having her around.. Its nothing but laughter for me. She makes me feel loved and needed. Its truly nice.
I will included updated photos of all on my next post... until then may God keep you under his wings and may you be uplifted by his grace and mercy....

Hi

 

Hello to all , I hope that all your holidays were filled with joy and happiness next to your loved ones. I first want to start out by thanking my heavenly father for keeping under his wings and out of harms way. I thank him for my life and that of all who surround me.

This picture is that of my children. They have all grown up on me. I just can not believe it. The handsome young man is my son and he is going to be 18 years old......

From Left to right ..Michelle, Ashley and Jessica..

2011 has been a long year and I am glad that it is over... I have had some good days but unfortunately I had some bad ones too...Well Happy New Year....

A Joke,,,,,

"Pancakes"

                                  Brenda and Steve took their 6 year old son to the doctor. With some hesitation they explained that although their little angel appeared to be in good health, they were concerned about his rather small penis.

After examining the child,the doctor confidently declared, "Just feed him pancakes.

That should solve the problem."

                     The next morning when the boy arrived at breakfast, there was a large stack of warm pancakes in the middle of the table.

        "Gee, Mom," he exclaimed, "For me?"

"Just take two," Brenda replied, "The rest are for your father."

Christmas time is near...

      Hello everyone. I hope the day is finding good in health and prosperity. Life in the Pocono Mountains is good. Today it decided to snow an inch or so. But tomorrow it's going to be 50 degrees, go figure.I guess we cant ask for everything.
   Very excited to have the holidays coming to an end. I love Christmas. This is the first time in a long time that I bought everything that I wanted to. With the exception of a few items here and there. I think I counted 5 to be exact. But very close... I spoiled my grandkids of course and this year added a little something for my grown kids and my husband.. God was on my side the whole year... I have had a tough year but kept my faith up and overcame a long long year.. . So glad to see it go.
  All I want for Christmas is an 80 in flat screen.... I will wait all year and want nothing else... I told my family no presents just gift cards from best buy, even if they are just 5 dollars...It is so beautiful...

      Hope you get all your heart desires and just remember what  the holiday is really about.Jesus Christ...

Congratulations is at hand......

   Hello everyone and hope all of you is well. I am great thanks to my all mighty father up above that takes care of me.I have had a couple of rough days, but I'm ok now. Thank the Lord....
   I am so sorry that I have not kept up with my  blog. Its been very crazy for me. But, I'll do my best to try to keep up.
   I have to report today my friend got engaged...I am happy for her but concern too... You see a few months ago she was having some problems with this man. However she is in love and this is easy to see..I hope that all works out for her because she deserves it. I am her friend so I wish her much happiness....

 Well to move on, I watch yesterday the movie " The Help" ... I was very excited to see this. However it was not what I expected... I think this film should have had opinions of real women in that era and time. I think that they will find the times being much harder and people more cruel. It's a nice story.
 I have done most of my christmas shopping. I am not done yet but, almost finish fully. My tree is up and my presents are under the tree so I am just really waiting  for the dinner, now....Pick up my youngest daughter's Michelle's gift. I got her a Android tablet with colormultimedia capabilities. It's nice.

This Day is finally over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

     Hi everyone. Hope you have had a great day. I have to thank my heavenly father for allowing me to have this day. It's sad that all I have is complaints.
   As I had specified before I am in retail. Retail is hell during the holidays.... Specially the Christmas one. The sales back to back and the early openings of stores... Today my  company had a big preview day sale.We open at 8. I had these sweaters that went on sale for 11.99. Now usually I have a hard time selling items because I am a lease department in a big retail store and my company does not accept coupons. So when we put a sweater  for 11.99 you can only imagine what a crazy day it is going to be.Our sweaters normally are in the price range of 59-109 just to give you and idea of what a great sale we ran today. Within the hour of the opening for business we sold about 115 of these sweaters... by 1pm I was sold out of about 600 sweaters. You can begin to imagine what a mess my boutique shop looked like.. I have never been so exhausted.. I have been so sick.. Since Thanksgiving.. I just have been going and going and going....My body just shut down on me and I ended up getting real sick. Felt like the flu. Instead I have a respiratory infection. It's like the beginning of bronchitis , but past a cold.... Two days of antibiotics and I feel great until the rain came to our town... I have arthritis ... Ouchhhhh... Need my arms and hands for work... So like I had said before, Lord I am greatful for the day but, I'm full of complaints...I live in the Pocono Mountains n Pa... Right about now the temp. is like 20 and snow, snow, snow... instead its 60 degrees and humid and rain so my arthritis is in overdrive...  Im so sorry I should be feeling more festive... On a brighter note, my grandaughter is doing much better. She was diagnose last week with phenomonia... You can imagine how horrible I felt. I love my grandkids like if they were my own. I sometimes feel like we end up loving them more.... I came home after being so tired and was looking foward to just sleeping and my baby was here... I mean my grandbaby... Did I mention that my other grandaughter Kamari is now 5 years old and I was told by my daughter that I am going to be yet another grandma again and this time I am having a grandson... Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh....yeahhhhhhhhhhhh

    Thank you for listening to me and letting me vent without being critizize....

Happy Holidays

    Hello everyone and I hope that all your days were full of love and prosperity....Happy late Thanksgiving.

I hope it was a blessed  one next to your family.. As for mine. It was spent with my mother-in-law and my three nephews and my eldest grandbaby that came up from Virginia... My three children and my youngest grandchild. I truly was very blessed.  Later that evening at around 7 pm I had to drive my husband to work cause as you may already know , black friday started at 10 that evening for some stores......As you may remember we are a retail family...
 Later that evening as if it could have gotten any worst, my granddaughter that was visiting for the Holidays had to go to the hospital. She had bronchitis. An hour after getting home, off to work I went. It was a pretty long week...
 All in all I had a pretty good Holiday.....

God's blessing are dispensed according to the riches of his grace, not according to the depth of our faith." If we are not faithful, because he cannot be false to himself" (2 Tim. 2:13).

Prayer...
  Father, when we are weak, you are strong. When we have no faith , you have faith. Thank you for being true to us even when we forget you. Thank you for being faithful even when we are not.

What a day!!!!!!!!!!

Here in the poconos mountain it is currently 36.4 degrees. Very mild for a November day. Normally it has already snowed and the temp. is 15...... I am not complaining, I am just so thankful for the gorgeous and beautiful days that we are having... Thank you father for all you do, even though we do not appreciate it. I am so ever grateful.
 I am truly blessed... I tell all the people I know, I am broke but I am blessed.... People look at me weird and I tell them you do not know Jesus ... Let me tell you. And I try to offer a testimony to show that I was once skeptical about Jesus... You see life changes drastically when you cast away your fears and trust in the inevitable...Jesus. Not everything in your life will change. The way you deal with things are different. The way you see things are different. Your perspective to life and how to handle situations are different . It is a great feeling. Remind yourself this. There is a man name Jesus. Who was crucify by us the people he so loved. Nothing you go through in life, is as bad as the walk Jesus did when he was hung and nailed to the cross. The beating , the spitting at him the torture that we the  people caused him and yet he still ask God to forgive us. Nothing you go through is that bad.Nothing....

  A joke.....
   Levels of Stress..
  You pick up a hitchhiker, a beautiful girl. Suddenly she faints inside your car and you take her to the hospital. Now that's stressful.
   But at the hospital they say she is pregnant and congratulate you that you are going to be a father. You say you are not the father, but the girl says you are. This is getting very stressful!
   So then you request a DNA test to prove you are not the father. After the tests are completed , the doctor says that you are infertile, and probably have been since birth. You are extremely stressed but relieved.... On your way back home, you think about your 3 kids....

Something to remember.....The single most difficult pursuit is truth and love..

Happy upcoming Thanksgiving...

My Day with my grandbaby......

   What a wonderful day today was... Thank you Lord for all that you grant us to have..I had pick up my grandbaby today after work and spend a few hours with her. I had not been able to do so because of the holiday hours that my job now requires of us ...She is my life. Everything about her is so divine and when I look at her I just can't help but thank God for my blessing .

This is my grandbaby Jenelle... She is 2 now. Time is really going by fast.

What a beautiful Day....

  Life is beautiful. I woke up at 3:30 this morning to get myself ready for work. As I get up i am so groggy and lazy that all I want to do is just lay back down... It's a bit chilly and here I have to get myself together for work... (Still have not hit the Powerball or Mega Million...lol) I have about 30-40 minutes to get myself together and out of the door... I'm finally up and about , time ticking away. I'm rushing because if I do not get on the highway on time then , I'm late. I have a 2 hour commute. As I am ready for my day and say goodbye to my husband , I open the door and just admire the beautiful moon staring dead at me. Just as bright as can be. It lit up the whole sky. I just took a deep breath and look up at it and said THANK YOU LORD FOR ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL DAY..... I immediately felt so uplifted and my day went so smooth from them on..
  We sometimes get so involve with the hectic things in our lives , that we forget the beautiful things that are around that do not cause a thing and bring so much joy and tranquility.... Peace... Like the day Jesus was born...I couldn't help but say that.... It just felt like it....
   Work was work but today it seemed to go well. I got a lot accomplished ..Holiday time (Yeahhh)...I love Christmas holiday. It's not about the presents for me, I always taught my kids that Christmas was a celebration of when we were all born again... Jesus birth signify our rebirth.... And this was the biggest and best gift we can ever receive from anyone...
   I hope the start of your holiday is filled with joy to help others and those who need it the most. This year , I am going to collect all the coats and clothes from people that I know, and I am taking it to a church that I attend. On Sunday's after service, we have community dinners and the people that come are mostly seniors that are alone and have family far away. They needed coats. Some were cold and only had sweaters because they had nothing else... So I decided to lend a hand. I do not have any extra money, but I can ask around for articles of clothing, coats shoes etc..... Anything to help with what I can...
                                  Have a blessed day and smile... Jesus loves you..

Ohh My Godddd!!!!!! What a day!!!

    Have you ever had a day, that never ends and you just want to scream because no matter what you did, it just seem like you did not accomplish anything ????   That was me today.. should not complain
    Hello all. Hope your day was better than mine. I should not complain because at least I have a job to complain about . There are so many people still unemployed and I know wish that they could be in my shoes. But I tell you, that the holiday season has officially began for us ... I work in NYC. Extremely busy around the holidays. My company today had to transfer over 2000 units to other stores.... They have sold out of units. Our store is the biggest store so we had to transfers units there. It felt like it took us all day... Moving on to another subject...
      The hold discussion today was about the Dr.Conrad Murray case. Opinion so don't kill me for having one. I am so tired of these Dr.s and celebrities thinking that because they have money, they can do whatever they want.Michael Jackson, I loved his music, think he was one of the best artist I will see in my lifetime and felt sorry for him... All the charities that he participated in, all the money he gave to all causes did not mean a thing... The only thing people saw was an accused child molestor... A pedifile..After his death, the man whose parents accused Michael of molesting their child back in 90's, has come out and told the truth. Although his parents had put him up to it, u can tell he was haunted with living that lie... At the time he was 13 years old..   I as an individual can not stand when someone lies on me. It really makes me mad. A lot of people saw it as him admitting  guilt, when he paid them 20 million dollars. Everyone was very upset because we expected him to go to court and prove his innocence... The truth was that he wanted to go to court. He was on tour when the allegations came out and his promoters had told him to just give them 20 million than they loosing 200 million which was the paycheck for that tour he was doing...I had taken my time to research, because you tend to wonder how a man that was so loved by the world with everything going for him could have had so many issues... After listening to all the evidence that was shown, I could not believe that a man so talented suffer so much...
      This Dr. was a greedy man. A lot of people had commented that Michael Jackson was a drug addicted.. That to me he was. He was addicted to prescribed medicine... Knowing this how can a Dr. who is license to do the best for his patience , treat this man with a drug that is only use in the hospital under supervision and monitors. He was definitely abusing his authority to practice medicine. At the end of the  day, he chose money over his code of ethics as a Dr.....Too Sad

Holiday season..... It's on it's way

   Hello everyone. I hope you had a great day. God is so good to us. Beautiful day here in the Pocono Mountains. Just last Saturday, it was snowing and we were cover in 10 inches of snow. Some people I know still have no electric from that storm. Today it was 63 degrees... What the heck is going on here? Who are we to question, I learn to just enjoy. Got some extra sleep yesterday . Daylight saving time is great when the time goes back. Now I feel like the night comes earlier...and you sleep a little longer..

    I know you are probably thinking I'm crazy for sharing this pic with you but the truth of the matter is that I work in retail. I never see no holidays other than back to school and Christmas... So I am going to repeat Happy Thanksgiving in the hopes to celebrate a Holiday other than Christmas.. I hope all your plans for a Thanksgiving dinner work out well. This is the first year, I am celebrating Thanksgiving at my house with my husbands family.. My mother-in-law and my nephews are coming up. I am really excited. I am also going to have them on Christmas.... I ask what they wanted for Christmas. What a mistake. Never ask a kid what they want for Christmas. On my quest to start Christmas shopping early, I found this list of gifts to give all year long...

   A Joke............

DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THE TWO BLONDES WHO FROZE TO DEATH IN A DRIVE-IN MOVIE?
THEY HAD GONE TO SEE '" CLOSED FOR THE WINTER".

    Oh My God...... Thank you Jesus for taking the longest walk anybody has ever taken and sacrifice himself for us future sinners so that we may be able to one day recognize the wrong in our lives and try to make it right. Thank you for the opportunity because without him we are nothing......

    I am so sorry I have not blog in quite sometime but, I have had a lot of events take place and just have been to distracted and honestly had no time. Life has been great, even though we have had some curveballs but that is expected. I do not know one single person that has not experience trials in their lives. In fact the harder you try to live life right , the harder things become. More obsticles come your way and you feel like you are in a no win situation.  The goodness of it all is that with the grace of God you see things differently and react different therefore your outcome becomes different. It is a beautiful thing when you can feel the love of Jesus in your life... You see it and others see it too.
  On another subject as You all remember I have a 2 year old grandaughter. She has grown so much in just a few months that it is hilarious for me to even tell you some of the events that take place here. There is this show that she so adores. It is called Yo Gabba Gabba. I found out that they are touring this year so I check their website to see when they will be coming this way.
  For those of you who know what I am talking about, I have enclosed a link that you can go see for yourselves..  http://www.yogabbagabbalive.com/

       I hope that all of you are in good health and in good spirits and keep praying for all your needs and not your wants....

A day of Praise

   Praising the Lord is how we wanted to start our day. I want to take this time to pray and thank my heavenly father for all that I am and all that he gives me and my family... I have prayed for understanding for so long and all I ever wanted was to be able to give a word to another person that needed to hear what the Lord has us here for. You know I felt that I would never get to a place where I would be able to understand the bible or it's contents in it...Better yet, put it to use and be able to try to live by it.. We are a generation that really are a repeaing from our ancestors.. We feel entitled to everything that we want. Instead of being grateful for the things we already have. Our families before us suffer to give us the things that were important and needed in our lives but today we teach our children to seek for materialistic things and not the things that are needed like Christ in their lives... The significance of loving......

  On that note I want to share what I learn in church today. I have not gone to church in a couple of sundays but, I do keep up with the sermons online. One of the beauties of today's technologies... The pastor spoke about the wounded warrior. This whole months series has been about warriors in the bible...Today was dedicated to the men ..
   He has made a statement that really hit home in many families today.. There is so many children growing up in a single family home and what we are not realizing is that we are training our kids to be single parents as well. Men are often not present in their childrens lives. Because of this the mother has no choice but to raise her child the best way she can... A man child needs to be raise by a man.. As strong as we are we are still not men. We can not teach a boy about the things that they go through simply because we have not gone through it.. Example a father can not teach his daugther about her monthly visitor and the need for pads or even how to use a tampon because he has not gone through this. He has no experience in it. He has no idea how any of this works with the exception of what he may hear. Men are important in a young man's life. Our hurts is spill over to our children... Their was a quote my pastor said that stuck to me. He said and I quote " Hurt people tend to hurt people".. It took me a while to understand it but I did. If you are carrying a hurt from someone in your past specially from your father you tend to past that hurt to your child. You have to learn to forgive that person for whatever reason they were not there and hope that your time with your child is well spent and remebered. Your teachings will be remembered by your child and will be used in the future generations to come.. Tell your kids you loved them, tell them that you are proud and tell them that you believe in them....

Nothing to say except I love you....

   Hello everyone. I hope this brief message finds you all in good health and spirit. It has been a long wek and een though I have nothing interesting to say.... There is much to be grateful for. I have my health, my family and a job . I have strength to live another day and still have stength to continue our spiritual fight....
    This week we had the privilidge to visit a good friends of our.His wife was put in a home a while ago and she had surgery a fw days ago with her kidneys... Her percentage at the time was 70 and now it is 7. So they are preparing for her homecoming to the Lord... He had asked my husband if he can visit and sit with them and sing some spiritual songs to comfort the family.... We went over and had a wonderful time. We were just sadden for what is to come, but it was wonderful to see how this family has loved each other for so long and how they are trying to be strong for one another... I can only ask for prayers for them and hope that God sends them the comforter when their time come to depart from their loved one... In closing I am going to include an incerpt from the bible.. It is Isaiah 40:26-31 and it reads...

26 Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth.

27 Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passed over from my God?
28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.
29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.
30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
