Music

Some music can be restful and relaxing, while others can grate on your every nerve. Music can be the voice of angels. Music is an expression of the arts. Music uplifts and strengthens the soul. Some people’s voices are music to your ears.

Music is a form of expression that radiates from the notes in the song. Some tunes have a low flow, and others flow along quickly and seamlessly. The music you like to listen to says a lot about you. If you want soft and easy-listening music, you most likely have a relaxed and easy-going personality. Hard Rock music is full of beat and action; if this is your kind of music, you want things to move along quickly and have lots of motion in your life.

We praise God, which he finds to be quite pleasant and an excellent way to worship him. There is natural music in the universe, such as thunder and lightning. The songs of the birds communicate with each other. The sound of insects and frogs and other animals. The bark of our dog and the gentle purring of your house cat.

Music is always with us where ever we go. Anything with a rhythm or sequence could be classified as music. The hum of the engine in our car, the train, and the box cars are moving down the track. The water flow in a river is the sound of the ocean water that crashes against the rocks and the beach.

As children, we make all kinds of music. We use pan covers like symbols and bang away on our toy drum, clap our hands together, and blow on a piece of grass held between our fingers. All of us have a natural rhythm in us that is waiting to express itself. Music is a gift from God. Sing praises to God with a good voice and Joy in your heart.

Stages Of Life

Stages of Life

We have different stages in our lives. We are babies, children, young adults, adults, and senior citizens. We all want to be treated nicely in every stage of our lives. We all hope each step of our life moves smoothly and efficiently.

When we are babies, we are fussed over, taken care of, and adored by many. Our diapers are changed when needed; we get food when hungry. We are dependent on others for our every need in life. It is a grave sin to hurt a defenseless baby or infant.

We play games, make friends, and go to school as children. Some children go to school with no food to eat or clothing to keep them warm in the winter. All children should expect to be fed and covered suitably for the weather. Children need a loving and decent caregiver that looks out for their needs. How we are treated as children partly determine how we care for others later in life. Children learn and observe what their adult role models are doing with their lives.

As young adults, we become less dependent on others and do more things independently. We still need lots of guidance from our parents. Peer pressure is a constant that is best avoided if possible. Do not do something that may make you more popular at a time you know is wrong.

As adults, we can take care of ourselves. We are starting our careers after college and making a life for ourselves. Hopefully, we will find a job that enriches us and others. We have our babies to care for and guide us into adulthood with marriage. Hopefully, we have done an outstanding job, and they will be an exceptional citizen.

We are senior citizens now and enjoying our golden years. We are traveling and doing many things we have always wanted. As we age, our health starts to go downhill, and we move into assisted living. We have someone to make our meals, help us clean our clothes, etc. As our health continues to fail, we move into a rest home. Some people in rest homes are abused and not fed because they cannot hold their fork or spoon and lay all night long on a wet pad until the morning shift comes in. Senior citizens deserve to be treated with the same care you would give a newborn baby. Seniors are loving and caring people with feelings and pain, like you and me. Without our seniors, we would not be heard today. Treat seniors like you would want yourself treated with dignity, justice, grace, respect, and the love of God caring for one of his children. Seniors are lambs of God. To not bless a child of God is a grievous sin.

Their Are Vultures Among Us

Post author By Laura Weers

1 Comment on Their Are Vultures Among Us

I have heard and seen many almost unimaginable things go on in families. I have seen people try to take advantage of sick people. Remember, someday, the ball will land in your court. Do you want your children to become greedy little vultures after all they learn from the examples you set for them?

I saw someone try to take advantage of a person that had just had surgery two hours ago and was still not out from under the effects of the sedative. They said they had a check for them, but they tried to get money from them. If they ever wrote a review to this party, this person told their lawyer to make the bill null and void.

One party told someone they would give their items a good home if they would give them to them. Nothing says you are entitled to receive something when someone dies. The more greedy someone is to another person, the more likely they will get nothing from them when they die.

One party asked a family member for a copy of her father’s will before he was even cold on the ground. I saw one party sell a relative’s house right in front of her casket in the church on the day of her burial service. When given a family heirloom, someone said, ” If you have any more, provide them to me.

Children have told a parent that they are selling things in their house when they are in the rest home or selling their house. Do not be disrespectful to your parents. They worked hard for what they had, and it was theirs to do what they wanted to do with it.

If you want vultures in your family and you act like a vulture, you will raise a family of bloodthirsty, uncaring, greedy, and manipulating vultures.

God sees and knows your every mood, action, thought, and what makes you tick. Strive to do the right and caring thing with everyone facing death or health issues. Money is truly the root of all evil. You, too, will face health issues and die sooner than you think; it does not overlook anyone.

Easter Sunday

I remember getting all dressed up in my new dress and Easter bonnet for church service on Easter Sunday. My parents would also be dressed up in acceptable attire.

Easter is about new life and new beginnings. Jesus gave us everlasting life when he died on the cross for all of our sins and rose again on the third day. We are forgiven for our sins, and our souls will live on in life everlasting with our heavenly Father.

Christ died for our sins so we may live on even after death. I think of the great sacrifice and the suffering that Jesus went through when he died on the cross for all our sins. Man has no greater love for a friend than to lay down his life for him. We are truly blessed every day to have such a true friend and a forgiving Savior who was willing to lay down his life for us so we may live again.

Easter is a day of renewal and redemption, and new beginnings. Spring brings new life into the world. Plants are planted, trees blossom and, later, bear fruit, and animals give birth to the next generation—spring springs forward with eternal life.

When you take communion in the church, think about all that communion stands for and what it represents in your life and the lives of others. Remember Jesus’s great love for all his followers or flock.

Renew your relationship with God every day. Be good, kind, and forgiving. Bring joy, love, peace, and hope into people’s lives. Reach out to people and truly listen to them; you will learn a lot from them. Try to make a positive difference in people’s lives. Uplift people and show them that you genuinely love and care about them. Be genuine, forthcoming, and honest, and love your fellow man.

Matthew 26: 17 – 20

Now the first day of unleavened bread, the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the Passover?

And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the Passover at thy house with my disciples,

And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them, and they made ready the Passover.

Now, when the event came, he sat down with the twelve.

Spring Has Sprung

I love springtime. I love planting seeds, watching them grow, and looking at the beautiful blossoms on the trees. I have a Magnolia tree that I especially enjoy. My tulips come out of the ground once again to produce gorgeous flowers.

Baby animals are born to start a new generation of their bloodline. The baby animals are whole of life and prance around and enjoy their young years frolicking around and exploring all the new things here for them to look at and enjoy.

Spring is a time for us to renew our life also. Ask yourself questions about your life, such as, am I happy on my path? If you are not satisfied with your way in life, change it. Choose a fulfilling life you can be proud of, bringing you joy and happiness over the years.

The older I get in life, the less stress I want. Without so much stress, you will accomplish much more and live longer. Treat yourself to relaxing days whenever possible, and don’t feel guilty. Travel while your health is good. Spend time with your loved ones however and whenever you can.

I love working up the garden soil and the smell of the earth. Gardening is a beautiful and joyful way of exercising also. I love doing outdoor activities. Spring brings the earthen ground back to work, producing crops and vegetables and much more for us to enjoy. I love walking around in the springtime, looking at God’s treasures that he has put on earth for us to enjoy.

Spring springs forward with eternal life year after year. Enjoy spring and all that it has to offer us. Let God renew you with love and a spring in your step.

Genesis 1: 11

And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose origin is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.

Count Your Many Blessings

Some of us have good health, excellent family, and friends. We are blessed to be able to travel and broaden our horizons. I am blessed to have God in my life. We are blessed if we are raised in a loving and caring family. Family and friends supporting you through thick and thin are a true blessing.

Live life to its fullest potential and never miss a beat. Having a job that you love and that helps others is a beautiful and filling gift. Provide love, hope, and peace, and bring joy into someone’s life whenever and however you can take every day that you are here on Earth.

Going to church on Sunday brings us closer to God. Helping God’s flock along the bumps in life’s HWY is a blessing. Listen to people and try to solve problems together. After all, two heads are better than one. Help people and new businesses in your community, as word of mouth, can make a business flourish overnight.

I am thankful that I had excellent and outstanding parents. I am grateful for awesome friends and family. I am blessed to have traveled to many different places. I am thankful to have God by my side day after day.

I love my pets as they give me great joy and comfort and they always their pleasant personalities, and they always watch me and follow me where ever I go. Pets are a joy to watch and are excellent companions to come home to after a long day. Pets reduce anxiety and are proven to lower your blood pressure. People that own pets live longer than non-pet owners do.

Count Your Many Blessing every day. I hope you are truly blessed and bless others along life’s HWY. God Bless You Today and Always. This is the day the Lord hath made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it.

Journeys In Life

Where will you end up in your life’s journey? Life is a constant journey. It takes us along many different paths in our life. We start r journey young in life and learn from our various mistakes and trial and error.

Do not get stuck in a journey that does not move along to strengthen and enrich your life or the lives of others. Change is a constant on our journey in life. We must learn to accept change quickly and move along with it positively.

Journeys can be scary, but we can learn much from each new journey we take in our lifetime. Travel is a journey where you learn from different cultures and realize they are not that different from you. I love history, seeing historic buildings, and knowing what people did that made significant marks in the past and how we live today. Without our founding Fathers, we would not be the country we are today. Scientists have discovered drugs and treatments that have saved many lives. Thank goodness we take different journeys in what jobs we choose. With various positions, we can help many people and accomplish much that will benefit humanity for many years.

I have had many journeys in my life, such as travel, health, caregiver, and job changes. We have to refresh our trip now and then and move forward to another trip that works out better for us at this particular time.

I have found my different journeys in life have benefited me in ways I had never imagined possible. I have grown closer to God and people. I find it much easier and more relaxing to visit with people. The power of prayer is remarkable and helps all of God’s flock.

Be steadfast on the many journeys you will take in your lifetime, and do not falter. God will help you through your many trips.

The Purpose Of Life

Many of us wonder what our purpose is in life. Our goal could be to raise a family. We are all put on earth for many different purposes. A Farmer grows crops that will feed other people or animals. We have various professions that benefit others in many different and necessary ways.

We are all put on earth to do as much good in our lifetimes as possible. We help others with missions and share our understanding and support for those less fortunate than we are all children of God and should help God daily. We can do that by being kind, compassionate, loving, and caring individuals who help God care for his flock. Bring Joy, Peace, Hope, and Love into people’s lives daily. Hold a door open for someone, carry something heavy, send a card, call them, spend quality time with another person, and always make yourself available to people who need something to make their day a little extra special.

Life can be a stepping stone into the next spiritual life. Try to learn something new every day that will benefit and help others. Reach out to people, as you both will be in a better spot for doing so. Think of one thing you can do daily to make the world a better place for you and me.

We should use as few pesticides as possible. Pesticides get into our water supply, poison us, and kill animals and our honey bees, which are necessary for pollinating fruit trees, garden goods, crops, flowers, and more. If you make a mess on planet earth, clean it up and help save our planet for future generations.

These are just some of my thoughts on the purpose of life.

Fame and Putting On Aires

No Comments on Fame and Putting On Aires

Do you need fame in your life to be happy? All of us want to be mentioned for our accomplishments now and then. I do not wish to be in the limelight all of the time. I think it is better to accomplish things without fanfare and much exposure. People will notice what you have done without making a spectacle of yourself.

I have noticed people walk in late to a meeting and then have the nerve to walk to the front as if to say catch me now. If you come late to a meeting, sit in the back, and someone will still notice you. Help people, and do not expect something in return. God’s good stewards should help all people gracefully and quietly.

If you live for fame only, it will not satisfy you for long. Fame is short-lived and forgotten with time. Help the oppressed, give gleefully, live cheerfully, and bring joy, peace, love, and hope to everyone’s path you cross in a day.

Do not be boastful, jealous, or insensitive, be genuine to yourself and others in everything you do. It is better to seat yourself at the back of the table and have them call you to the front. If you sit in front and then be told to sit in the back, you will feel embarrassed. Let good things come to you, and always look for good things in people and good people. Look for and be good in all you do to help others. Evil will come to you on its own, so be cautious not to let sin enter your life, as it will want to embrace and encompass you. Do good and be good in all you wish to accomplish. The grace of God will lead you to new heights.

Be An Advocate For Family or Friends To Help Keep Them Safe

Be An Advocate For Family Or Friends To Help Keep Them Safe

Post author By Laura Weers

4 Comments on Be An Advocate For Family Or Friends To Help Keep Them Safe

When you are sick and alone, you need an advocate that you can count on to help keep you safe and sound. When you are in the hospital, your advocate will ensure you get the proper care for your situation. Your advocate will ensure you are clean and the doctors are doing what they should be doing to get you back to your old self once again.

You need someone to check on you and see that you have dry bedding throughout the night and that you are getting better and not getting worse daily. Check on your loved one often and at different times throughout the day. Ensure they get enough food and water to drink throughout the day. I have noticed that people’s water has been sitting across the room where they cannot even reach it.

Any behavior that harms or hurts a person is inhuman and not acceptable. A person has a right to a dry bed night and a glass of water that they can access quickly and easily 24/7. Advocates must ensure no bruises, bedsores, feces, or other signs of neglect on their loved ones.

Remember, you will be sick or old someday yourself. Ask yourself whether you want to be treated this way when ill or elderly. If you cannot handle being a caregiver, don’t take that job that will make you miserable and make the people you sup-possibly care for sad beyond belief.

Always keep the Golden Rule close to your heart and live by it daily: ” Do Unto Others As You Would Have Them Do Unto You ” God wants his children to act as he would towards people who cannot help themselves. Advocates keep God’s flock safe and sound throughout life’s storms. Honor those that are sick and elderly with the utmost respect.
