Live Your Life, Not Someone Else’s

Do not let someone tell you what job they want you to do. You choose your career because you will never like your job or be good at it if you don’t. You must have a job that fulfills you and completes you in life. Sometimes, an older person might try to live their dreams through you, which is wrong. God has a unique purpose for everyone, and never let someone take God’s purpose for your life away from you. God always knows what is best for you, so follow your life dreams and not the dreams that a relative or friend may have for you.

Health Decisions

Never ask a family member if you should have surgery or not. Your health is up to you, and if you want the surgery, go for it, and if you do not do it on your own accord, and not on the advice of others. Ask your doctor about any concerns you may have about the surgery and if the surgery will take away any pain you are going through. Have the surgery, as no one wants to live in constant pain. Life has many complex decisions, so make sure the one you ask questions about surgery has your best interest at heart.

Vacations

Some people do not like to travel, but their spouse does, and they feel they have to stay home with their spouse. If your spouse does not want to travel, find a good friend to travel with. I have had married couples tell me they wanted to travel, but their spouse did not, and now they regret it because they waited too long to travel and have health concerns that do not permit them to travel anymore. Do not let anyone take away your travel dreams. Travel opens up a beautiful new chapter in your life full of adventure, history, stunning scenery, and learning about the different countries’ histories, and that everyone wants the same things out of life, no matter where you travel. You never regret the wonderful vacation memories with your spouse or a dear friend.

Money

Money truly is the root of all evil. Some unsprulous people take advantage of senior citizens and ask them for money when they cannot afford to give them any money. Many nasty scammers go after senior citizens with insurance scams or ask them for money. If you do such a thing, you are the lowest form of human being possible. I cannot stand the stench that such an individual puts out. These people will have to answer to God someday for what they have done to God’s vulnerable flock. People should be givers and not takers. If you cannot give something to someone with joy in your heart, you have a serious mental problem.

Help Older People Have A Better Quality Of Life

Visit with them and give them gifts. Take them out for supper. Older friends love to go out for drives. Surprise them with a beautiful day that they will enjoy. It will make their day and yours extra special, with precious memories you will never forget. Remember, you can learn much from older people, as they are very wise. Treat your elders with the utmost respect always. God bless our senior citizens, for without them, we would not be here or have the knowledge that we have.

God Is On Call For You 24/7

In Times Of Trouble, Ask God For Help

If you are not feeling well or feel threatened, ask God for help. God always answers our prayers. Maybe we will have to wait for them to be answered, but always have faith that God will answer your prayers. In a severe storm, I ask God to let the storm pass over and not harm anyone. If someone is pestering you, pray to God for an idea so that they will stop tormenting you. If it is spam phone calls, ask them who they want to speak to, and if they do not know your name, hang up ASAP. God can put ideas in your head that will help you in life if you are open to getting answers and using those answers for a good reason. When I have been sick and have had bad days, I ask God to place his healing arms around me, which he has done many times. I am so blessed to have God by my side in the shallows and the hallows of my life. God’s love for you is 24/7 and will never leave your side. He loves his children equally, as no one is any better or worse off than another. Trust and obey, for there is no other way than to trust and obey, which is very accurate indeed. Any relationship needs trust to flourish, and we must abide by our parents and obey God. When you have surgery, pray to God to have the right Doctor, surgeons, and nurses in your life at the right time so that you may make it through the surgery safely and have a quick recovery time. Pray for your friends, relatives, and strangers, including animals; we are God’s creatures.

God Is A Friend That You Can Always Count On

I trust my Lord and Savior. God has helped me all of my life. When I have felt defeated, he takes my hand and says, “Get up, and do not be dismayed, for many good times are still ahead of you if you go out and live your life and never give up.” Everyone has a purpose while we are on earth. God is our ultimate cheerleader; he jumps for joy when we excel at meaningful things. Living a purposeful life is easy if you have the I think I can attitude. Remember, after a storm, the sun will always shine again. A new day is a day with no mistakes. Most of us will be blessed with many productive days and lead a rich and rewarding life if we look at life as full of adventures, joyous times, lifelong friendships, reaching for the stars, and not settling for anything less. There will be detours on the road of life, but with God’s guidance, the detour should be short before we get back on the correct route for our lives. Listen to your heart and be open to listening to God when he is calling you, as he wants the best for you 24/7.

Helping Hands Make A Difference

Many Helping Hands

When people gather and fill food baskets or give cans of food to food banks, it helps many people’s lives throughout your community and the world. Making quilts and mats for missions gives the gift of warmth, and the mats are suitable for people to sleep on instead of on the ground. Buying something a woman made in a foreign country might help her feed her family for a month or more. Many hands that work together can transform the lives of many people worldwide. Idle hands get nothing done, and nothing gets accomplished. Do not let your hands be idle; use them to help improve the lives of those less fortunate. When you give money to a mission that teaches young children, who knows what the students might accomplish that could maybe transform the world for the betterment of all? A challenging job becomes more manageable when many people work on completing the same project, which may never be completed if only one person worked. God uses us to be his helping hands by teaching others about God and by reaching out to those who are downtrodden, lifting their spirits, and inviting them to our church service with us. If you see someone in need, offer to help them out. Give random gifts now and then to random people, as it will help brighten their day. Talk and listen to people; they may be lonely or need someone to listen to their cares and concerns and offer advice. People living alone will generally not ask for help as they tend to do it independently. Giving is much better than receiving and much more rewarding when you see the joy and glimmer of hope on their face. Many hands are caring and hands that God has put on earth to help others enjoy life and improve their life.

Hands Communicate How You Feel Towards Others

A gentle touch of your hand shows love. A rushed hand shows a lack of complete love or concern. If you are caring for someone and are gentle, it shows respect and love. If you give someone a bath and rush and get it over right away, you do not care about them as you did not spend the care you would have in cleaning yourself. God’s hands show respect to all of his children, and he takes a lot of time with his healing hands when it comes to every one of us. Waving to someone shows that you will miss them when they are gone. Waving at your followers as a President, King, or Queen shows them that you acknowledge their presence and are glad you support them as their leader. Sign language lets people who cannot talk communicate their needs and wants to others. If your hands do not do quality work, it is because you do not care. God makes sure his hands heal us and transform us in many positive ways throughout our entire lives.

Mothers Day

Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day And God

When we are very young, our Mothers nurture us and care for our every need, instilling specific values that will take us far. If we fall and scrape our knees, they comfort us while we cry, tend to our wounds, and make us feel much better. My Mother would read a book to me until I fell sound asleep at night. As teenagers, our Mothers have a lot of patience with us, as all teenagers tend to rebel at least a little. Mothers never stop caring for us until they take their last breath on earth, and I think their soul somehow knows what is happening in our lives. God protects us 24/7 and keeps us safe from harm, as he constantly tries to lead us in the right direction if we listen. Things will happen in nature that are part of life; we will suffer the loss of loved ones and some harrowing experiences in our lives. We should never blame God for the death of a loved one, as some things are just part of nature, and there is a time to be born and a time to die. God and our Mother protect us, but no one can protect you from all harm. God and your Mother will try to conquer all evil that comes your way to keep you happy and safe in life, and they want you to enjoy life to its full potential.

What I Remember About My Mother

My Mother was always there for me and was very kind, caring, and compassionate. When we shopped for clothes, she would pick out beautiful clothes for me. Mothers set rules for us to help us in life, just as God has the Ten Commandments to help us lead the right kind of life. She taught me to reach out to people and put myself in their place. When I was sick, she would stay up all night long with me if necessary. My Mother was brilliant. I could almost ask her any question, and she would have the answer for me. We can ask God for answers to our questions, and all we have to do is find a passage in the Bible that pertains to what we need and find the answer to our questions. Thank your Mother for all she does for you in your life, as she only wants the best for you. A Mother raises a child so that they can stand on their own someday, and a child who will make her proud.

Praise Your Mother And GoD

Being A Mother is not an easy job. You have to change dirty diapers, deal with a rebellious teenager at times, and break up fights between siblings. Your Mother most likely works outside of your home, and after a long day of work, she is tired, but she cooks meals, cleans, and tends to the needs of her children and husband. God knew that our Mother would protect her children even at the cost of her own life. God died on the cross so that we may never die from our sins. We should praise our Mothers and God, for you are truly blessed to be loved and protected by them.

Exodus 20:12

Psalms 139: 13 thru 14

For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my Mother’s womb.

I will praise thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

Proverbs:1:8 31:20:26:31

My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy Mother.

She strecheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth her hands to the needy.

She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.

Give her the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her at the gates.

Isaiah 66:13

As one whom his Mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.

Life's Happenings

Life’s Happenings

Memorable Moments

All of us will have many memorable moments in our lifetime. Some moments will be very happy and some will be very sad. Remembering the special moments that stand out will comfort you through the sad moments. When you graduate, get your first job, get married, have children, and travel, these will be happy moments indeed. When a loved one dies, we are very sad, and there will be moments when we cry because our loved one is not here on earth anymore. We must remember that if they were in pain or life was getting hard for them, they are in heaven now, where there is no suffering or pain anymore. I hope you have many memorable moments to look forward to. Never let past tragedies deny you a happy and fulfilled future.

Pets

Pets bring a lot of happiness into their owners’ lives. When you get home from work, your pets greet you. They may wag their tail and wish to play ball with you or walk with you. Cats love to sit on your lap or curl up next to you in bed and gently purr away. Cats love it if you have various cat toys to play with. Pets instinctively know when you are not feeling well and will do their best to comfort you. Pets have been known to grieve for days after the passing of their owner. Cats may not eat for several days. A dog once went to the cemetery daily and lay on the grave where his master had died. We had a pet parakeet that would not eat while we were on vacation, and when we returned, he started eating again immediately.

Life And God

Your relationship with God is your most important relationship in life. If your relationship with God is not good, you cannot retain any good relationships with anyone else in your life. God has set an example for us on how to lead a good life; if we do not follow it, our lives will be doomed. To have a happy and fulfilled life, you must put God first. God put us first as his son Jesus died on the cross so that we may be forgiven for our sins and have eternal life.

Family And Friends

Over the years, you will have many lovely and memorable moments with your family and friends. You will have wonderful family gatherings for anniversaries, birthdays, reunions, holidays, and picnics. Traveling and discovering new places, scenery, foods, historical events, and sites add to the spice of life’s happenings. Hold your family and friends close and never take them for granted. Let them know you love and respect them, and hold them dear in life’s happenings. God bless you, and I hope you will be blessed through your life with God, family, and friends by your side in all of life’s happenings. Sing praises to God daily.

Running On Empty

Do You Feel Like You Are Running On Empty?

Some days, we have too many irons in the fire and feel burned out. It is OK to slow down and work at a slower pace. After all, slow and steady wins the race said the tortoise to the hare. Try to keep a list of things that have to get done, and try to stick to the list if your health permits you to do so. I have my lawn mowers serviced at the end of the year so they are ready to run next year. If something needs fixing in your home, have it serviced ASAP so you will not have a mile-long list of things that need to be repaired in or outside your home. Do not commit to more things than you know you can handle, no matter how much someone pushes you. I know some middle-aged people who live alone, and they have to mow their lawn and keep everything repaired on their own, and they do not have time to volunteer, as they have too many things to do on their own. When you are happily married, you share in getting things done around your home; it does not just land on one person. Everyone does not have time to do extra activities due to health, and depending on what falls on their shoulders, they have to do.

God And Faith

If you do not have God or Faith, you run on empty, and the fumes will not carry you through life. You need God to carry on and sustain you. Without God and Faith in your life, you are nothing. God gives us a high-octane fuel that will help carry us through any storm in our lives. God completes me by giving me ultimate joy, hope, peace, love, and the promise of eternal life. God’s light shines on the whole world, so let your light shine brightly for the entire world to see. Faith has sustained me in many ways. One woman told me that she would not be alive without her faith. God is a constant friend for anyone who wants God in their life and reaches out to God in prayer and song. Thank you, God, for my many blessings. Rejoice and be happy with the Lord by your side.

People Who See All The Negatives And Overlook The Positives In Life

You are genuinely blessed if you are healthy and blessed with good friends and family. If people only dwell on the bad times in their lives and don’t remember the extraordinary good times, they are not living life to its fullest potential. Travel while you can, as traveling with your husband or a good friend is truly a blessing. Look for the beauty in God’s creation. Look at the majestic mountains, God’s great and small creatures, and how each has unique characteristics and different personalities. Every one of us completes God’s puzzle as our lives fill in the spots on the puzzle for a specific purpose while we are here on earth.

Wisdom In All Things

Wisdom

We need knowledge and intelligence to navigate today’s world. Learning something new each day is the key to intelligent thinking. If we have a good perception of how a machine or something works, it will help us use the machine, and the machine will last longer if it is oiled and taken care of properly. Never yell at people or use profanity, for this shows a lack of intelligence on your part for using proper words that will solve your problems on an intelligent level. You must know how to converse with people and solve issues satisfying both parties. If you do not understand something and don’t ask anyone to explain it, you will stagnate and not contribute much to life.

Wisdom And God

God has wisdom beyond our understanding. He knows that man is not perfect and has a guide for us to follow the Bible. If you read the Bible, you will find a verse about how you feel or how you should react to something appropriately. God knew that man would sin, so he sent his son Jesus to die on the cross for our sins so that we may have everlasting life in heaven after our earthly death. It is wise to read the Bible, attend church, read daily devotions, and surround yourself with people who share the same values. Remember, you are the company you keep. God is wise beyond our understanding, as he knows what we want or need even before we pray for it. God’s timing is perfect, for he knows when he should grant our prayers at a time that will benefit us the most. Praise God with all of your heart and soul for the many blessings he has given you.

Wisdom To Move On In Life

If something is not working for you and you do not like your situation, leave it and change your life direction. If you are in a marriage that is hurtful and harmful, do not think it will improve, as it will only get worse. Get help from family and friends and get yourself where you will be safe and free from harm. Life will throw many curve balls your way. Remember to constantly throw the ball back and not hang onto it, as it becomes excess baggage in your life that will slow you down.

With Wisdom Comes Responsibility

We must share our knowledge with others. I have had people tell me they do not wish to share their knowledge. One man was good at making brooms and said he would never teach someone to make brooms. I asked him what would happen to the equipment after he died. He replied he did not care and was taking his knowledge to the grave with him. If everyone felt that way, our society would crumble and fall apart quickly. We must teach our children good work ethics and good values so they will flourish in life and help others do so also. Be kind, compassionate, loving, caring, and bring hope into people’s lives as a wise and knowledgeable person should.

Currents In Life

What Is Your Current At Present?

I hope you are not running on high voltage. You will miss out on many things if you constantly run on high voltage. Eventually, your “I have to get it all done right now” attitude will catch up with you. As the old saying goes, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. If you do not go out with people because you have to get everything done right now, eventually, no one will want to go out with you, and you will miss the whole point of life. People are made to be social and interact with people as much as possible. Do not chase after people if they do not return your phone calls; they do not want to form a friendship with you. God will put the right people in your life at the right time. Run on a standard current, enjoy your life, and do not try to do more than you physically can do. Life should become less stressful as we age, and we should stop and smell the roses, so to speak. Stress is high voltage in your life, and stress takes a tremendous toll on your body and how you react to others. God wants you to run on a standard current that does not get overloaded with things that will not benefit anyone.

What Do You Want Your Current Path To Be?

I want to be connected to God at all times. God has been there through all my trials and tribulations, and I feel I have become a better person for having gone through storms. A storm in your life does not damage you if you rise above it and move on. If you dwell on something too long, it consumes you night and day, and you will never be good to yourself or anybody else. Storms will come and go every day that we are on earth, and with God’s help, we can rise against all of them. God did not put the storms in our lives as they are part of nature. Do not blame God for things that happen, for nature is unpredictable. I loved this Song years ago, and it still applies to all of us. The Song Is called Ain’t nothin’ go slow me down ain’t nothin’ gonna break my stride. I have to keep on moving now. I told my Mother about that Song, and she said you remember that, and I have and keep moving.

The Best Current For Your Life

Read your Bible and Daily devotions. Go out with friends often and build wonderful memories with your loved ones. Live by the Ten Commandments and the Golden Rule. Have pass-it-forward days. Listen to church services every Sunday. Be ready for God to take you home any day you might be called home. Be true to yourself and others. Always do the best work that you can. Leave the world a better place for you, having been here. Run on a standard current and stay away from high voltage.

Spring Has Sprung Hurray

Spring Issues New Birth

I remember baby chicks and lambs born in the spring. I enjoy seeing leaves returning on the trees and the tulips coming to life. I noticed a bird trying to impress his mate the other day with the old nest he had built last year. His mate was not impressed, so he hurriedly cleaned it and added a few more little twigs and some old pieces of grass he found. She did not fly off, so I guess the nest finally met her Good House Cleaning seal of approval. When I rototill the garden, I always dig up frozen toads. The toads quickly return to life from their frozen state and hop into the raspberry bushes. I love to plant garden seeds and watch them pop out of the ground and grow beautiful tomatoes, green beans, lettuce, and more. Nothing tastes as good as fresh garden produce. I love to plant new trees in the spring, watch them grow, and eventually make an excellent windbreak. Springtime rejuvenates us human beings as well. The warmer weather inspires us to work and do more outdoor activities and burn off some unwanted pounds as we walk, work, ride our bikes, and so much more.

Some Of My Springtime Activities

I stain my deck when it is warm enough in the spring and do other outdoor painting before it gets too hot to work outdoors in the summer. I will water the new trees we planted this year. I ensure our riding mowers are in tip-top shape before we mow for the season. I will do my spring cleaning and weed out things I have not used. If you have not used something in ten years, give it to someone who could use it and enjoy it if it is in good condition. Spring is a good time to declutter your home. I take everything out of the garage and clean the floor from the winter grime. My vehicle floor mats get a royal cleaning as I get all of the salt and dirt from the winter cleaned off. I spray armor all over them and scrub them with a scrub brush. All of our winter clothing gets cleaned and stored away for next winter.

Spring And Travel

Spring is a good time to travel, even if it is only a day trip. It is gratifying to take a nice long drive when you do not need to worry about travel delays. I love discovering new places to eat or quaint little stores to shop in. I love old hardware stores, clothing stores, bookstores, and mom-and-pop stores in small towns. Adventure is around every corner if you get out and about and enjoy life to its fullest potential. We discovered the most interesting stores and bakeries by driving to a restaurant or store on a day trip. If we wanted what they had to offer, we went there again on our next journey. God bless you, and yours, and I hope your spring is filled with many blessings, discoveries, and memories you will cherish forever.

God Intervenes

God Can Redirect Your Path

If you have been through an illness, maybe it was meant to be as your connection to God grew closer. When everything is going well, sometimes we forget to thank God for everything he has done for us. When an illness comes along, we begin to focus on God more. After an illness, you may be redirected on a path that God always wanted you to take, and it will be a much more rewarding path than the path you are on now. On your new path, you will serve God and others better. Tell people about experiences that made you a better shepherd in God’s flock. Always remember when one door closes, maybe there is a reason for it, and when one door closes, a better door opens up that will lead you on the path that was meant to be for you all along. Serve God with all your heart and all your soul every day.

Think Of Things That May Have Killed You

I was scraping a house one day, hit two high wires with the paint scraper, and was on an aluminum ladder. I heard a big bang and saw sparks flying off my paint scraper. I blew the main fuse in the house, and the tenant ran out and asked what had happened, and I told her. She had no electricity in the house. I told her a fuze blew and to put a new fuze in, and she did, and the electricity was back on. Fortunately, the paint scraper handle was plastic, and God’s intervention saved my life. One day, a wheel came flying across the Highway I was on. That wheel would have killed me if I had been one-eighth of a mile closer. One time, I was two hours away from death, but an Ambulance rushed me to a hospital. I had all the right people at the right time, and they saved my life. I have been very blessed that God has always put the right people in my life at the right time.

God Intervenes In Many Ways

Have you ever wondered why some people have a premonition that they should not board a flight, and then later on, the plane crashes and kills everyone on board? I think one should listen to things that seem unusual to you. One woman knew she had to be at an appt. at such and such a time, but she could not find her keys and other things, and she took off ten minutes later, which saved her life as there was a forty-car pile up on the interstate as it was very icy that morning. I have always heard that if something delays you or does not feel right, listen to your innermost self and wait. God helps to protect us from harm to the best of his abilities as nature is nature, and eventually, everyone will die of something one day. Pray to God every day without ceasing, and thank him for saving your life in many ways that may not even be known to you.
