Praise God for the cup!!

Hello friends, I hope you are having a truly wonderful day!! Am I ? Well it depends on wether you have a "cup half empty", or "cup half full" mentality. Me I'm an optimist, my cup is always half full, no, its more than half full its running over!! A dear sister of mine used to say Thank God for the cup!! I love that. Its good to always remember that we are truly blessed!! No matter what comes our way no matter what we go through God is with us, he cares for us , he loves us and nothing else matters. This world is not our home, this life is but a handbreadth, all is nearly said and done, its what we've done for JESUS that matters, and what he's done for us that will make all the difference. So are you having a truly wonderful day? I am! The cup is half full my friend! 

Too Many Kids!

Its late and I should be in bed, but I'm enjoying the quiet too much. I had a funny thought today. I had to go to the dentist which I was glad about because I have two teeth that need to be pulled and several cavities. I havent been to the dentist in 20 years!! (It makes me feel old to say that.) Any way I only got some x-rays and an exam today, no big deal. But my thought was you know you have too many kids when you enjoy and are actually looking forward to a trip to the dentist!! Yes I know.

A Word from the LORD

Hello everyone! I just wanted to take a few minutes and thank the LORD for all his many blessings. Why do it on my blog? Well I just want to testify a little. God has been so good to me and my family. Even through all our troubles and trials he's always there, always leading me. He's never left me, he's never forsaken me, he's never turned his back on me, but he's always been there to comfort me and forgive me. I heard yesterday that many many churches are facing hard times, people leaving, others causing problems, pastors getting discouraged etc. etc. I knew it was bad, but I didn't realize it was so bad, everywhere. The Devil is on a rampage because his time is short. The LORD gave me a word, He said that satan is trying to divide our house and render us ineffective, because a house divided cannot stand. Wake -up to satan's lies and tricks, he wants us feuding , and fighting so he can steal and destroy. Thank You JESUS for these words of truth. Thank you for showing us. Mostly thank you LORD for being my rock and my fortress!!

A reason to laugh

Okay I am so sick of all the sadness and depression around me and in me so I am going to give you a reason to laugh. I wrote this poem years ago (obviously because it mentions my three children) but I found it and thought you like me would enjoy it.

Weight

To far to long I've fussed and complained about my shape and how much I weigh,

My hips are to big, my belly's to fat, I didn't know arms could jiggle like that,

But today as I do the things that need done, 

God spoke to my heart to show me my wrong,

See, I am a wife a mother of three and God designed me purposefully,

My belly is soft like a pillow they say if it was gone then where would they lay

my hips seem wide but useful you see, they make the baby a comfortable seat,

a place for the basket of laundry to go, an extra hand to help shut the door

those arms I thought were so terribly huge, 

will hold piles of toys and clothes and shoes

when the work is all done and the day is passed, 

and I get to sit and rest at last

They'll pile in my lap, I'll sing them to sleep

I'll pray to God their sweet souls to keep

And in their own way I'll hear them say

Mommy we don't care how much you weigh!!

Hope you got a good laugh, we all need it!

Life is to short!!!!

Have you ever been on youtube and checked out some of the "end times" videos? Well the other night me, my husband and his friend were looking for something and quite by accident began to view a rather chilling warning about the end times. We all know the Lord's coming back and that things will get worse before they get better, my husband preaches it at least twice a week. But are we really ready? Prepared to face martydom if it comes down to it ? Are we really ready for the Lord to come back? I can only speak for me, I am ready, but I am also pretty comfortable with things the way they are. I enjoy my home and family, I appreciate the relative peace and safety I am able to live in. So truly I say life is to short. If the Lord's coming back, and he is, then we may not have much time left. There's not enough time for arguing, and complaining, there's not enough time to be selfish and ungrateful, contentious and spiteful. We need to look at things the way they truly are , Life is to short not to live life to its fullest, not to savor each day and enjoy every moment.  

Seeking God's Will

How do we discern the will of the LORD? What magic prayer can we pray or what spiritual buttons can we push? Why doesn't the LORD just come down and sit with us to say this is my will or that is my will? I wish I knew. In the midst of turmoil strife and most definately change how do we know which way to go? What road do we travel now, which way do we turn now down Life's uncertian roads?  Help us Lord to discern your will. What do we do then if we've missed it the will of the LORD what if what we thought was God's will was not after all. What is God's will now in my life today? It remains to be seen, it is yet waiting to be revealed. Pray for me and my family that the LORD will speak clearly and we would know whicjh way to go. Meanwhile I will pray for you my friends who are hurting and sad, who are struggling and need just as I God's direction and blessing. I love you all, my sisters my friends, bless you all .
