Dear Lord.............

Dear Lord, I thank You for this day, I thank You for my being able to see and to hear this morning.

I'm blessed because You are a forgiving God and an understanding God. You have done so much for me and You keep on blessing me. Forgive me this day for everything I have done, said or thought that was not pleasing to you. I ask now for Your forgiveness. Please keep me safe from all danger and harm.

Help me to start this day with a new attitude and plenty of gratitude. Let me make the best of each and every day to clear my mind so that I can hear from You.

Please broaden my mind that I can accept all things. Let me not whine and whimper over things I have no control over. And give me the best response when I'm pushed beyond my limits.

I know that when I can't pray, You listen to my heart. Continue to use me to do Your will. Continue to bless me that I may be a blessing to others. Keep me strong that I may help the weak...Keep me uplifted that I may have words of encouragement for others. I pray for those that are lost and can't find their way. I pray for those that are misjudged and misunderstood.. I pray for those who don't know You intimately.

I pray for those that will read this without sharing it with others and I pray for those that don't believe. But I thank You that I believe that God changes people and God changes things.

I pray for all my sisters and brothers. For each and every family member in their households. I pray for peace, love and joy in their homes; that they are out of debt and all their needs are met.

I pray that every eye that reads this knows there is no problem, circumstance, or situation greater than God. Every battle is in Your hands for You to fight. I pray that these words be received into the hearts of every eye that sees it .....
in Jesus'name. Amen!

The iconic newsman died in July at his home in New York after a long illness. He was considered the most *trusted* man in America.Walter Cronkite was ninety two years old.

Cigars........

I remember the doctor telling my step-dad that he had to stop smoking. But if he couldn't do it right away to at least change to either a cigar or a pipe. He opted for the pipe, which in the long run, smell a lot better to us who were around him. If you are interested in obtaining a great deal on discount cigar s, then my might consider looking into the site under the above link. They have many brands at reasonable prices.

I Wish You Enough

I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright no matter how gray
the day may appear.
I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun even more.
I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive and everlasting.
I wish you enough pain so that even the smallest of joys in life may
appear bigger.
I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.
I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final good-bye.

Term Life.......

There are things which a family needs during their child rearing years. One of these thing is life insurance, for protection should something sad happen. You can get several term life insurance quotes by clicking on the link given in this article. I have the "whole life", because of my age and the possibility of living older than some insurance's may offer. Check out the information at this link for more information.

Think About It......

Have you ever had something happen, that was just too "iffy" to explain, the how, why, and what of it? I have that happen very often in my life and it totally takes me off guard. I feel like I'm standing on "holy ground" and often find myself treading lightly. It's scary, eerie and exhilarating to think that you've been put in that situation. Should you live in this world long enough, it will happen to you. Many people just dismiss it as a weird chance or happening and nothing to pursue. I believe everything happens for a reason, and if you look hard enough, you can find God, in it all. He gets you right down to the last minute, the last second and brings everything into total completeness. How can people, go through life and not see the hand of God in things that happen daily? I stand amazed that they are so insensitive to the world around them. It happens and there's not a thing that God is not in.

A Prayer......

Everything that is going wrong in your life today shall be well with you
this year. You have been destined to make it and you shall surely achieve
all your goals this year. For the remaining months of this year (200
9),
all your agonies will be diverted and victory and prosperity will be
incoming in abundance. Today God has confirmed the end of your sufferings,
sorrows, and pains because HE that sits on the throne has remembered you.
He has taken away the hardships and given you JOY. He will never let you down.
I knocked at heaven's door this morning, God asked me... My child! What
can I do for you? And I said, 'Father, please protect and bless the person
reading this message'... God smiled and answered...
'Request granted.'

Muslim May Sue........

The suit alleges that Abercrombie "refused to hire Ms. Elauf because she wears a hijab, claiming that the wearing of the headgear was prohibited by its Look Policy," or employee dress code. The suit says that Abercrombie "failed to accommodate her religious beliefs by making an exception to the Look Policy. These actions constitute discrimination against Ms. Elauf on the basis of religion."
Elauf, who had experience working in retail, interviewed for a position at a Tulsa Abercrombie Kids store in June 2008. During the interview, she wore a black hijab, or headscarf, in line with Muslim religious tradition. Elauf got word through a friend, who worked in the store, that the headscarf cost her the job.
I guess you can't decide who and what you can do anymore........

Baby's Baptism

Learn about the significance of baptism and each aspect of the ceremony by attending the classes set up by your local priest. The godparents you select will also need to attend classes to learn about and prepare for their responsibilities to the newborn child. Ask your local parish for a schedule of upcoming events so you can select a good day to celebrate the birth of your baby.
Send out invitations to the baptism ceremony as early as possible. Choose the baby's godparents. You want people who will be a good example in faith and action to your child as she grows. Arrange for the white gown your baby will wear during the baptism ceremony. Select the Christian name your child will use at the baptism ceremony. Prepare for a banquet or a less formal reception after your baby's baptism. Invite all of your family and friends to attend the celebration. Family, friends, and coworkers will offer baptism gifts now to help in celebration of your child's new life. The link above is a great place to shop for such gifts.

Family Vacations......

With all the turmoil overseas and the fighting in these nations, I'm sure these people would love to take a vacation, from all this mess. It would be nice if they could afford to get out of there even for a few days and take a vacation to the USA or other places in the world. They could maybe go online to check out Family Vacations packages, and schedule it for the off season, so they can get discounts. If they are interested in a package deal, I'm sure they would be able to fit a large family in to one of these deals. There will really no reason to have to leave the residence, with all the amenities inside.
You will want to make sure you have plenty of first aid supplies handy, because children and grown ups have a knack for getting injuries.
If you consider staying at a nice hotel, then contact them today and schedule your next trip. Your stay at a their resort will convince you that anything is possible.

Roof Repairs.......

I feel there are plenty of roofing service representatives to choose from. Some times it's difficult job to find a dependable roofing contractor, to service repair or replace your roof. I know this because I've come into contact with roofing services that didn't do a good job. I suggest contacting a Roof Repair expert, to get a physical inspection of the location.
You need to make sure that the contractor you are considering is licensed, insured and bonded.
I've lived in the Virginia area and have kept my fingers crossed may times due to the weather. They have volatile weather in that region, and many times there are tornadoes and hurricanes. Anyone knows the devastation they and make. If your lucky and only the roof of your house is damaged, then you must look for help. Hurricanes are more apt to cross that area of land, because of the direct paths. If you need repairs or a new roof installed, its important to find a contractor you can trust. Any Roof Valley Repair contractor must pass a necessary test before he can obtain his license. The information will provide you with an accurate estimate for your project. I also found that they hiked their price's up 150% and all their supplies. Many times most contractors, will have several different types of roofs for your inspection.
Metal Roofing materials will be more energy efficient and therefore more cost effective. Talk with several roofing contractors to get a number of quotes so that you can compare. Financing may be available with your roof as well as an extended warranty. Check out this Roofing service and get more information.

Let Down

I found that helping a person, can't always turn out for the best. No matter how hard I try to help this one woman, she's a very heavy load. Financially, she exhausts my finances. All the time she borrows ahead of a payment I make to her, then when she gets drunk, she forgets that she's borrowed the money. I've stopped answering her calls, because I just can't handle the stress anymore. Yesterday, it was a good thing I wasn't at home, because she drove up into my driveway, and was looking for me to get more money. She's working on the October payment which isn't even due until the 1st. I didn't mind helping her, until it was brought to my attention, that she was telling people she thought I was cheating her. Now, my feelings are hurt and one thing's for sure. She'll have to wait until, the 1st to get the rest of her payment. I'm tired of her draining me.

I'm Fat........

I wish there was something I could find that would help me loose weight. It's not easy to believe in all the different brands on the market. The best diet pills cost so much money, that I'm not able to afford them. Even some of the products, come up being bad for your health. I don't want to cause myself any health problems, so I really have to check out different reviews on the pills.

Snooping Software........

There's been so much activity that's illegal, going on within companies. They need a way to keep track of what their employees are doing online, to protect themselves. Many company computers have been used for illegal trading, or porn viewing by employees. The Employee monitoring tutorial can give you employers an inside track on how to use spying software, within your company. Not only will it let you see who's working online, but you can monitor the different actions of your workers, and how they manage their working schedules. This will give you an inside view of who is really being productive and who the loafer's are. You can utilize this software to decide when promotions or raises are due.

Give & Spend..........

I've always had a motto, that I sort of live my life by. Especially, when that still small voice whispers to me. It's "Give & spend & God will send". This has been my whole idea about life. He gives us what we have to reach out and help others. It has come to my attention down through the years that he always, brings me what is needed to survive and make it from day to day. Truly, if you do what God leads you to do, he will provide for you when you need him.

Spa or Pool Filters

How many times have you gone out after a storm to find your swimming pool full of twigs and leaves? It's not an easy task to clean the pool after such a storm. Turning on the filter system, is great but you must replace the filters at one time or another. Your spa, can suffer as well once you've had a party and several people have jumped in. You might want to go online and find a good dealer who offers spa filters to get a quote on price's for them. This link will take you to one of the website's. Follow it and shop around for their different packages.

Miss Josie

I can remember her now, the tall thin framed woman, would make her way down the sidewalk to go to church, unless the weather was bad. Sometimes, people would come and pick her up and take her to church with them. This lady was well into her late sixties or early seventies, with salt & pepper hair that she wore back in a bun at the base of her neck. I always was ready for her to stop by or come to visit my grandmother. The lady, was a story teller that could hold your attention with her exciting ways of expressing the suspense and drama. At the end of her stories, was always a moral that gave a clear picture of what a person should choose for their life.
I remember going to her home 2 doors up to check on her when I hadn't seen her for a few days. Sometimes, I would see her walking around out in her yard. There was this huge fig bush, that had the sweetest fig's on it. My grandmother had a fig bush but the fig's it grew, weren't as sweet as the fig's on Miss Josies' bush. Miss Josie, was an old maid and never had any children. I suppose it was fitting that she taught Sunday School to the children and told them stories, that they could enjoy like I did.
This is a tribute to one lovely lady, who loved her Lord and made sure everyone saw it in her life.

Scriptures..........

My people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their resting place.
All that found them have devoured them: and their adversaries said, We offend not, because they have sinned against the Lord, the habitation of justice, even the Lord, the hope of their fathers.

Family

It's been very important with me down through the years, to try and keep the family having holiday and other get to gathers. I feel that's where you make your memories and infuse the family feelings of being together. So, when ever possible I would make the effort to put together a dinner and such. It's worked so far, but I feel this year will be somewhat different, with all the extended things that have happen in the past few months. So, I will play this holiday season, by ear and wait to see what comes of it. You just never know what will happen.
