Having Followers

Having  followers...

 

I try to live my life as a follower of Jesus,

Every day is a new challenge.

 

I want to be an example to others.

Yet, it is a great responsibility to lead.

 

I was thinking last night

 That having that little box on my sidebar

On my blog

 That reads " followers"

 Was saying something to me!

 

Then as I prayed about it through the night!

 

I awoke around 5:30 a.m. and I knew,

I look at the box daily!
As if this box is a gauge of whether my words hold any weight or worth?

I will not be a captive to this box or the number any longer!

 

I am free to write and post and publish as He leads me!

 

I want even my Blog to reflect His leading!

 

 

Taking responsibility of leading others;

But I can only share what I have been taught.

 

So, I am taking off the Followers Box!

But, I pray many will visit and learn and grow as I am also.

 

For there are many deserts we will pass through,

But, I trust Him for the flowers in my life

"Followers"

 

 

May I be a wise woman tending the sheep he has given me!

 

Blessings,

 



Give Her The Reward

 

 

Charming

 

 

God has given us and amazing gift to create beauty.

We surround ourselves with treasures and trinkets.

 

There is a sweet and special atmosphere we can create.

Home Sweet Home

 

We must be alert to the distractions that hinder us from

pursuing what is really important.

 

Showing affection and not expecting perfection,

we allow oneself to thrive and create.

 

Going into our day ready to accomplish our daily task

will give us a deep calmness.

 

For when our hearts or home is in confusion,

we can not think and plan our days.

 

Learn to take pleasure in the simple flow of our days.

To strive and to be driven will cost you much.

 

I desire to be ready to meet this new day;

By sitting at His feet,

Looking into His Word for direction.

 

Having faith and by showing it by believing and receiving all He has provided for me!

 

Realizing that even if I think I am alone,

There is a great cloud of witnesses cheering me on.

 

And giving honor, where honor is due.

Submitting to all God given authority.

 

Give her the reward she has earned, and let her works,

bring her praise at the city gate.

Proverbs 31:31

 

Blessings,

 

 



Imagine All The People...

Imagine!

 If we the people could just really love and care for one another.
What a change it would incur on our cities and families

We are all just passing through.

 Time is so precious! 

 I have always thought that if I was just kind and smiled it would change the atmosphere.

 And on the most part I can feel the shift.

But there are times when it feels hard and stiff, and even dark.

Why do we stop and smell the roses in some stretches of our days and others,

We do not even see?

Today is almost over and I have a sad feeling of being not loved by those that passed me by.

Yet, I feel a peace that I was able to be kind to a few, and to exchange a smile, and nod.
~Imagine all the people we could of encouraged with just a smile~

Dangers Of Carring A Cell Phone In Your Bra

The Word Is Out!

Dear Ones,

   I have just become aware of a danger that is lurking and preying on women.
 It is the carrying of cell phones in a Women's bra!

 I was very shocked to realize this, as I was not aware

 That woman even carried it there
 I have always carried it in my purse or my pocket.

But this is about the younger women and those who do not carry a purse.

I want to make others aware of this very scary practice.
 Let us help educate those who are doing this.

 This is the video clip that was sent to me!

Tiffany Frantz Breast Cancer Survivor 

 You can google this some more as I believe there are a few others clips

 on this precious young lady that has lost her breast.

And because she did not know the dangers of carrying

A cell phone next to her chest.

 Also, this same danger can affect men also!

Blessings,



The Big Or The Best...

Welcome Aboard

 The luxuries of the very wealthy!!

You can own this floating mansion for only

$5.7 million dollars.

The cost was just reduced!

Talking about getting a bargain...

A Vacation Home!

Belonging to someone...

A pretty mint green in color with a boat to match.

Now, this is living!!

Well, at least for some!

OK!!!

Back to my real world...

We had such fun on our children's sailboat on our last visit to Florida
 A fewYears back.

I guess seeing the pictures and experiencing just  

Where and how the real wealthy lived.

Made a big impact.

The real interesting part of all this is, I love my life!

I am so happy with the portion God has given me.

We are so rich in His love!!

We are blessed with every spiritual blessing.

"Big is not always better."

"If you take the left, then I will go to the right; \

Or,

If you go to the right, then I will go to the left'

(Genesis 13:9).

Many of us do not continue to grow spiritually

Because we prefer to choose on the basis of our rights or wants!

Instead of relying on God to make the choice for us.

Yes, I have rights that are given to me. But sometimes I can

use this wrongly to my harm.

We must allow the Lord to help us choose the best, not just

The biggest or the grandest.

Here is my home sweet home!!

Blessings,



Just Call Me

Just Call Me!

 

How many times have you heard this as you were walking away from someone?

 

How many times have you said this to someone as you were leaving them?

 

 

Help me Lord to follow through!

 

Hello to all of my blogger friends, I have been on a lovely visit

With my daughter and her family in Florida.

It was really wonderful to see her home and her life there.

Our grandchildren are getting so big and smart.

 

My thought today is this;

We are living in different times, and most families have at

least a few of their children living in another state,

Or city, or another country.

 

Staying connected becomes a wee bit harder.

I have learned many matters of the heart with this!

God places us in our boundaries.

He places us where it is best and we will grow there,

If we will look at what He is doing!

 

Being connected is so important,

We are not called to be an island in the stream.

 

As I was on this trip, one thing was really prominent to me.

I was in many airports and restaurants and all over the place.

And it was the same thing I observed,

It was this;

Everyone was looking down!!

Gazing into cell phones, ipads and screens of many colors!

 

I heard in my spirit;

Look up for your redemption draws nigh.

 

When was the last time you put down these distractions?

And really looked into someones face.

Or really picked up the phone and had a good chat??

 

Just Call Me!

 

Blessings,

 

 



Staying On The Right Path

 

 

 

 

Trips

There are two main trips the enemy enjoys for the children of God: the guilt trip and the power trip. I call them trips because satan's plan is to take us away from the path we are on by leading us astray on detours. At times, it may be trips others are on and they try to pull us into theirs instead of us remaining on our own course. Boundaries are important when we are following the directions of the Lord. Self-condemnation leads us into a guilt trip. We take responsibility for some situations where we have no control. We keep thinking on the what if and the if only. Regrets bring sorrow and grief. Self-glorification leads into a power trip; when we are too proud of what we have done and are prideful. It's legalistic, self-righteous and glorifies self instead of God. Whether it's the bad or the good things we look at, it's a stumbling block in the midst of our path. The Lord knows how to bring us back onto the right path, His. With love and care He picks us up from the middle of the wrong road and removes us from our own ways. He leads us on a glory trip, guiding us from glory to glory! Dr. Joelle Suel

 

Let us keep our eyes and heart focused, and stay on the path Christ has; Prepared for us!  And He will guide us! With love and care.  We can know that we are not  to live in regrets and live in someone elses shadow. We are to live in His light! Blessings,



Animals Just Wanna Have Fun

 

 Just a swinging !

 

 

I can see for miles and miles !

 

I 'am telling you I see spots !


Making the time to have fun and enjoy all of God's creation!

We are given many reasons and seasons,
It is up to you to take pleasure in joy
right where you are!

We Mommas and Grandmas
And wives, need to let our hair down and have a good time.
We are not suppose to work all the time.
We must have a balance to keep our homes in order,
But also be able to make merry and laugh.

Take some time and make some memories,
Take some pictures and capture your adventures.

May the wind be always at your back!

Blessings,
