Alone Yesterday...Today and Think Tomorrow and The Next will Be Just The Same?

You need not be blue...you can wear blue without being blue if you choose...
You can however choose to rejoice and be glad about something...

Even if you must really practice searching out your heart, within your mind and neighborhood.

You can also couple your choice to change the way you look at your world around you...

You may in your yard today if you live in the same hemisphere as me and are experiencing spring...

You may have flowers growing..springing up before your eyes

Maybe roses, camellias lilies or irises ....

You may have never planted a garden or seeds of any kind in your life before now...

If you go out and seek what is alive before you and among you,
You will be surprised ...You shall see things you never saw before....because you never took the time to notice.

You may like me have wild flowers popping  in places some folks may say they should not be like growing to close to your house foundation or under and both sides of your fences...

You possibly complained about them for years...
Today Good Friday let us look for the life amongst our own death and darkness which has clouded our hearts, minds and eyes that we could not see the light and find pleasure in simple blessings!

Our Lord wanted to remain more intimately among and within us all...so on Holy Thursday which we observed yesterday HE gave us HIS Body and Precious Blood...
To eat and drink that we may always be in union with HIM at all times...
Strength for our journey our direction and guide...Our Good Shepherd...

Before HE the next day....today....suffered and died.
Regardless how many years it has been that you have stayed within the confines and darkness of your past sins....

Regardless how serious, your past transgressions....or how long it may have been since you came out of your house to smile at your neighbor...

Even if everyone who has ever known you thinks and says that you are a grouchy grinch...and too old to change...too old to love now...

Anyone can wake up and choose to sing and rejoice and to bless...
Be not concerned about who will think what...

Even Mother Teresa wrote a poem saying that if you are kind some will question your motives but be kind anyway!

If we consider what others think and let that influence our choices we give them the power to hold us in the darkness of our past...

WE...you and I must purposely choose to BREAK OUT of the prison of our own..
 making!
We must wake up singing new songs..

Today instead of pulling up those dandelions and other wild life growing up from your land....and tossing them into the trash to be burned or carted to a city dump.

Cut and trim them nice and place them in vases with love!

If you do not have flower vases anywhere in your house...not even in the back of a cabinet covered with inches of dust or even rust to brush and wash off...

I am certain you have containers of some kind in your home not made especially for flowers, but have no holes so they can hold water...

So lets transform what we have with time and love!

Wash up whatever you have and make life arrangements of love....
Place one in your own home and distribute the rest to your neighbors with bright Sonshiney smiles today with love!

If your neighbor has been your neighbor for years and you have either never met or ignored them for years...
You may find out that your next door neighbor has been just as lonely and depressed as you...
Your action in sharing wild flowering love...
Will open their heart life and world at the same time as your own...To the real light of the World...Jesus Christ whose tomb we observe today anticipating HIS Resurrection...which shall be ours too...

Only when we choose to reach outside of ourselves and not only receive HIM...but share HIM with each and everyone possible who is in our midst...So together right now after you have read this...Run for the life that is wild amongst you...and share with one another!

Blessings!

When You Seek Someone To See Eye to Eye With You.....But Not Even Mom Seems to Love You...

All of us from time to time fell a little blue....

And want a good friend...or even our Momma to talk to...

But what if your Momma never sees eye with you...

What if your Momma never has an encouraging word for you??

Well you need not ever let da blues come over you...
Nor let yourself acquire her attitude!

Many of your neighbors may be no different than your Momma or your Pop...
But that does not mean...that you must follow along...
You need not choose the same lifestyle as they...

You can aspire to greater things...like finding joy in all things...
Speaking words of honeycomb....never grunting groaning....criticisms ...

But rather choosing to build others with words that encourage...
And lets not set ourselves up to be blue...

Let us make healthy choices and avoid those toxic folks that each one of us know...
Even if it means changing ones phone number and not giving it out.

There are many ways to set boundaries for those who refuse to be kind...

You and I just need to make a decision and enforce those boundary lines!

You can choose to be a leader...You can choose to live with a positive vibrant attitude....
You and I can do all things with, through and for Jesus Christ!!

Keep on smiling....and singing new songs!

For HE never uses voice mail....HE is with you day and night and through out your life...
When friends and family fail...
Almighty GOD Father, Son and Holy Spirit...The Big Three in One!!

So you now know what you and I need to do and keep on doing...
So now...GO FORTH! Go Do it!! Dooooooooii It!!

And The Blues will never come over or under you!

Blessings!

Iced Down and Packed In....You Too Can Grin Ear to Ear and Cheer....

You need not let the blues come to or over you...

If you like my Billy-Jacob and me wake to find your exterior doors will not even open...
Your fruit trees both snow and ice coated...

Why leave the television on and listen to the constant repeat of the same story which you nor I need to be told...

Remember we have eyewitnessaccount at our own front and back doors!

Horray the nerve conduction study by neurologist scheduled for this morning....like all flights around the world have either been cancelled, delayed, or grounded somewheres else!
a man
Let us give Thanks and Praise for our GOD has given each man, woman and child still alive on earth this moment frozen in order that each may contemplate within HIM what is truly important and re-prioritize all things...

And allow ourselves to become soft puddy within the Divine Master Sculpter's Hands.

Usually when man makes his plans and GOD tries to place his steps in another direction...
By having another cancel an appointment or rescedule...such a man imediately tries to fill that spot with another "punch-crunch" fleshy work...

Where as GOD had purposely carved that down time out for HIMSELF!

So since we have failed to "Pray Always"... Since in all our ways through out each day we have not been mindful of HIM...have not embraced prayerfully all that has befalled us...have not let Him place our steps in HIS chosen direction that along HIS path not ours HE may bless others through us and us through them...

That we and all those whom HE chooses for us to meet and greet along each of HIS chosen streets...

May enjoy HIS most fruitful and best part...which is that when we surrender our control to HIM...when we choose what HE yearns for us to choose...

Whatever hapens, even if it seemsto be caused by our choice...if we followed HIS inspirations and desire...any consequence is HIS responsibility not ours to clean up!

Until "The World Ends" as we know it, there will always be those envious angry ones who will object and threaten us who seek only GOD's Face and HIS Glory...

So Praise GOD for stormy days and stormy nights....For they give HIM more work to do for and through us....as we get to trust and seek HIM more deeply and sweetly...

Even if some of us needed HIM to snow us in and ice us down to cool our tempers and slow down both our bodies mind and hearts, that HE can commune again in each...

That together in one accord in HIM and HE in us....PRESSING On will no longer be drudgery or tough...For HIS yoke is easy and HIS burden light but only when we give HIM the reins and not us!

So PRAISE GOD Give HIM Cheers! Packed in and Iced down we can grin and enjoy...never scoul or frown!

Praise GOD!

Ever Wish You Could Go Back In Time....

Have you ever wanted to be somewhere you are not...

Or go back in time...

Maybe you would like to fly somewhere without boarding an airplane...

Have you missed a place where you once lived...because things where you live now....Do not go your way?

Well, every day not a thing goes as exactly as I planned...

See man makes his or her plans...but GOD places our steps!

But if and only if we embrace where HE places us...letting ourselves be planted...

Can HE not only water us, but shower us with HIS finest Blessings!

Oh how we at times think we know what we want!

Though what GOD wants most for us is to choose to receive HIS very best for us... Which often means embracing joyfully whatever befalls us or shocks us....

How can anyone bloom where planted if they run around so much that their feet never get dirty Nor rooted...and therefore never receive the nourishment HE tries to give us!

How can anyone hear HIS sweet whispering voice...calling out our name... Singing us personal love songs yearning for us to come along with HIM...

HIS games we play...HIS tunes we are to dance to...and rejoice!
And through them...we receive what we really want...not what we think...and ....but HIS better and best parts!

Embracing joyfully whhatever befalls us...even sicness or a stuborn common cold in the deepst darkest winter...or benath sun of The Son... or

Embracing where ever we may find ourselves...Singing prayers of Thanksgiving to HIM.... For how can we ever receive the joy of a healing, if we know not what it is to suffer or feel pain...

How can we enjoy Sunny Sonshine if we never experienced a dark, dreary rainy day or year?
It is when we poke fun at ourselves and thank GOD for what makes others angry...
That HIS Joy and laughter can lift us higher and make our dreams not mere dreams...but our reality...

All it takes is constantly vocalizing Praise for what is not yet as though it already exists...
With Faith of mere mustard grain even if your in the middle of a corny corn field of stalks that have grown much higher than the top of your head...

So never dread...but sing out loud New Songs of praise... and watch your dreams turn into more than dreams but your REALITY!

Amen Amen Amen and Alleluia!

We Will Be Blue If We Are Not Careful to Not Speak Falsehood, nor Mislead for the Sake of Kindness!

Often we have all heard the phrase "Oh, that was only a white lie."

However, falsehood is always false and never can be interpreted as truth.

When anyone tells a lie to not hurt another person's feelings...we actually hurt them far worse than speaking the truth.

First, even those we think are not very smart or lack intelligence, they still recognize when they are being lied to!

Not in every situation will they know the truth that they are being deprived of, but they recognize when they have been lied to.

All that is derived from one's lie is not shielding anyone from pain, but inflicting the pain of fear and distrust in both the speaker who "told a white lie"...at best
but chances are their trust possibly in many around associated with that speaker who were once loved...now are suspected...

And now the person whose feeling one thought he were sparing becomes skeptical and leery of everyone within the same circle of friends or associates.

Associates is a far more appropriate word, for anyone who tells one lie..another is coming out quick behind it to cover the first.
So it is impossible for a habitual liar to have true friends because to have a friend one must be a friend... and how can a habitual liar ever be loyal to even his friend.

Those who must hide behind masks do so because their true selves are not acceptable.  They have no true friends, but only those who are their partners in deceit.

And where are such folks leading HIS little ones?

We are all being watched by someone... someone who may be lost; someone who is searching.  We are all being copied having someone to many following our foot steps.....

To where are your choices leading others to the same you have chosen.....  To Heaven...or to Hell!

We never need to be blue....by choosing to speak only truth and never compromising who we are in HIM...Let all fall where they may...for no one is liked by all and we are better off allowing the wicked to come forward exposing themselves with their opposition.

The only deadly enemy is the one whom we cannot see or recognize...so when they expose themselves with their outlandish outbursts....  REJOICE!!!  And get ready to laugh at their destruction!  (Job5)

Sing new songs and you'll never be blue...Fur you have HIM and HE has you!

Blessings!

Seek A Way To Make A Difference for Others And HIs joy Will always Be Yours and The Blues Will Never Come to You....nor to Those You Lift!

Today I want to encourage all of my readers... You!  To step out every day and do something to make a positive influence and difference in another person's  life...!

Taking the time to drop a card into the postal mail to a neighbor or a neighbors teen who is treated as an out cast from the neighborhood,  

Getting on FACEBOOK and being a soothing written voice amongst teens who brutally put each other down, teaching such bullies to love instead of hate by loving the bully themselves right on their own hostile FACEBOOK page could actually prevent a school shooting somewhere by a child in distress of isolation.

And your choice to take a few minutes will keep the Blues From Coming to you... and many others!
  

God Bless You!
