Freedom

     Here is a statement to think about.  Do we take our freedom for granted?  Think about it for a moment.  We have many wonderful freedoms that we enjoy as Americans.  But, some of those precious freedoms are trying to be restricted by parties.  Is that fair? 

     Yet, many of us don't seem to be offended by this.  We are not allowed to say any thing in public that reflects God.  Why?  Our founding fathers intended for this beautiful nation to be "one nation under God".

    The Lord is our Creator, Defender, Protector, and everything we need.  What happens when a country steps away from that?  Isn't it time that we all 'wake up'?

     What other freedoms are to be silenced next?  Here are some steps that we all need to consider.  First, let's make a great realization of what freedoms we enjoy.  Let us pray and thank God for each one of them.

     Let us pray and ask God to take control of our country once again.  You see, we are given 'free will'.  If we step away from God, he will not come in to the center of our nation.

     He wants to feel welcomed.  Thirdly, let us stand up for what we believe in and what is right.  This is still the USA.  Let's unite and work to bring our nation back to where it needs to be.

    Let's pray and remain in strong prayer.  This is a key to success.  Please express your comments below.  Let us pray one for another and for our great nation.  Let us pray for our troops and thank them for all of our freedoms they have fought for.

     Don't ever let it be in vain!  God bless our troops!  God bless America!  God bless you all!

Thought Of The Day

So, what makes you happy and content?

What completes your life 

and the person that you are?

Is it money and material things?

Is it fame and fortune?

Please...

think about something

Consider the simple things

from your childhood

that made you laugh

and gave you such delight

in your heart

Do you remember?

It was things like

spending good time with friends

enjoying every moment

Now, think about what

a relationship with God means

It means:

pure joy and delight beyond measure

blessings

forgiveness

understanding

compassion 

and enjoying every moment 

to the fullest

and

the list goes on and on

Do you have a relationship

with God?

If you do not...

Don't you want to know

what pure happiness is?

Open the Bible

Read

Talk to God

and

begin

the most amazing adventure

to finding

peace and pure happiness

that you will ever

discover!

God bless you all!

Something To Ponder

     As Memorial Day quickly approaches, let us take a moment to do a little exercise.  We all get bogged down in the stress and hassle of every day life.  We are overcome by the taxing burdens of a complex, and ever revolving world.

  But, let us all make a pledge to do this exercise at some point this weekend.  We can all spare a half hour out of our busy schedules, right?  Well, get together with a good friend or family member.  

  First, pray for our nation, and its leaders.  Pray for our troops.  Secondly, pray for one another and those that you know and love.  Thirdly, make a list of all of the joys and the blessings in your lives.  Next, give heartfelt thanks for each one of those extraordinary blessings with the consideration of others who don't have quite so much.

  Next, remember the sacrifices of our military heroes past and present and servicemen that you know.  Think about their bravery and devotion.  Finally, join hands and pray again, thanking God for his goodness and praying for the blessings on other lives.

  See how much that mere thirty minutes has made you feel better inside.  The stresses of every day life seem small when we consider just how truly fortunate and blessed we really are.

  Any one who embarks on this little exercise is welcomed to post and mention how good it felt.

God bless America!  God bless our troops!  God bless you all!

Finding The Planned Pathway

     Living in such a fast paced, radically changing society, one of the factors that many people probably deal with is loneliness.  How can that be?  It is so easy to feel invisible sometimes.  You might feel like you give so much of yourself, and nothing seems to matter the way you thought that it would.

  Even though you have people around you in your every day life, you sometimes feel like you are the last person on the planet.  But, it is at this junction where we have to call for a silent moment.  What is that you ask?  It is a moment when we step back from all that we think and are, and place our complete concentration upon the Lord.

  He sees exactly how you are feeling.  What does he think?  First, loneliness doesn't come from him.  It is the exact opposite.  We are never alone in our walk because the Lord is always there with us.  But, you might say that you can't see him.  Well, you may not be able to see him in the provincial human to human way.

  However, his presence and his awesome love are with you in such a powerful way.  Come before his throne and ask him to make his presence known to you more.  He greatly desires to fill every second of your life with his joy and love.  

  But, loneliness as well as other anti weapons try to rob you of that precious joy from the Lord.  Don't let it!  You do have an amazing plan and purpose from the Lord.  Can't see it?  Well, ask him to show you more of his work in your life.

  Here is an idea.  Try volunteering at a retirement home or an animal shelter.  Give someone a special touch of kindness and love and watch how much it delights your heart!  

  So, the next time you start to feel lonely, begin to sing a happy song.  You will soon watch the cloudy blues go away!
