Mark

For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.
Mark 13:8
Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and the children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death.
Mark 13:12
Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.  But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.  
Mark 13:31-32 

Scriptures

Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
1 Timothy 6:12
For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed:  for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.
Timothy 1:12

Auto Insurance

Recently there was a wreck in which I was involved.  I wasn't the driver of either vehicle, but I was in one of the cars.  It took a couple of days to get an adjuster out to look at the vehicle and assess the damage.  I was contacted about any injuries, I may have obtained.  I'm thinking about getting this company to give me an  auto insurance quote  for my car, and maybe I can invest in a more lucrative insurance.  I don't drive as much as I did when I was working, so they say I can get cheaper coverage.  That would be a very nice adjustment to my present insurance.

Scriptures

But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.  Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
1 Timothy 6:11-12
Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world begin,  But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:
Timothy 1:9-10

Quickly

I know how it is, when you want to see the pounds melt away.  It's just human to hope for a miracle in a matter of days.  All too soon, many give up because they don't  lose weight quickly  and get discouraged.  I myself, have been a victim of that very situation.  Giving up is much easier that toughing it out to loose 1/2 pound.  Get more information and read how this can be accomplished with certain products.

Proven Strengths......

When you find that your needing some strength and support during the hard times, it's not always easy to find.  The only strength I found down through the years to be there when needed, was calling upon my Lord.  I know you think that I'm just "thumping the Bible", so to speak.  Yet there are many who will relate to what I am saying.  Leaning on the word of God, and his promises, can pull you through the hardest of situations.  You just have to hold on and trust the situation to be handled by God.  It's been proven time and time again.  When you give the problem over to God, and place your trust in him.......He Will....!

Need Relief......

It gets to the point many people have a hard time sitting very long periods.  This is due to the uncomfortable health problem of hemorrhoids.  You'd be surprised at how many people suffer from this problem.  It's necessary to find some form of  hemorrhoid relief , whether by prescription products or surgery.  Temporary relief, can be found by using certain gels or creams.

Too Busy........

 One day a teacher asked her students to list the names of the other students in the room on two sheets of paper, leaving a space between each name.
Then she told them to think of the nicest thing they could say about each of their classmates and write it down.

It took the remainder of the class period to finish their assignment, and as the students left the room, each one handed in the papers.
That Saturday, the teacher wrote down the name of each student on a separate sheet of paper, and listed what everyone else had said about that individual.

On Monday she gave each student his or her list. Before long, the entire class was smiling. 'Really?' she heard whispered. 'I never knew that I meant anything to anyone!' and, 'I didn't know others liked me so much,' were most of the comments.
 
No one ever mentioned those papers in class again. She never knew if they discussed them after class or with their parents, but it didn't matter. The exercise had accomplished its purpose. The students were happy with themselves and one another. That group of students moved on.

 Several years later, one of the students was killed in
Vietnam  and his teacher attended the funeral of that special student. She had never seen a serviceman in a military coffin before. He looked so handsome, so mature.

The church was packed with his friends. One by one those who loved him took a last walk by the coffin. The teacher was the last one to bless the coffin.
 
As she stood there, one of the soldiers who acted as pallbearer  came up to her. 'Were you Mark's math teacher?' he asked. She nodded: 'yes.' Then he said: 'Mark talked about you a lot.'

After the funeral, most of Mark's former classmates went together to a luncheon. Mark's mother and father were there, obviously waiting to speak with his teacher.

'We want to show you something,' his father said, taking a wallet out of his pocket 'They found this on Mark when he was killed. We thought you might recognize it.'

Opening the billfold, he carefully removed two worn pieces of notebook paper that had obviously been taped, folded and refolded many times.. The teacher knew without looking that the papers were the ones on which she had listed all the good things each of Mark's classmates had said about him.

'Thank you so much for doing that,' Mark's mother said. 'As you can see, Mark treasured it.'
 
All of Mark's former classmates started to gather around. Charlie smiled rather sheepishly and said, 'I still have my list. It's in the top drawer of my desk at home.'
 
Chuck's wife said, 'Chuck asked me to put his in our wedding album.' 'I have mine too,' Marilyn said. 'It's in my diary'
 
Then Vicki, another classmate, reached into her pocketbook, took out her wallet and showed her worn and frazzled list to the group. 'I carry this with me at all times,' Vicki said and without batting an eyelash, she continued: 'I think we all saved our lists'

 That's when the teacher finally sat down and cried. She cried for Mark and for all his friends who would never see him again.
 
The density of people in society is so thick that we forget that life will end one day. And we don't know when that one day will be.
 
 So please, tell the people you love and care for, that they are special and important. Tell them, before it is too late.
 
And One Way  To Accomplish This Is: Forward this message on. If you do not send it, you will have, once again passed up the wonderful opportunity to do something nice and beautiful.


Remember, you reap what you sow. What you put into the lives of others comes back into your own.

Loose Weight

Everyone want to loose weight and if possible they want it to happen quick.  I've found that  fast weight loss
  may put your health in peril.  It's possible to find good products that can assist with this type of weight loss, but considering the pro's and con's are essential before attempting this resume.  I'm sure your doctor, can suggest a product that would help you according to your body's needs.

Loosing A Friend.......

I know that many of you lost good friends this last year.  My sister lost one last year and now she's lost another one beginning this year.  It's been hard enough on her just loosing the 1st one, but now she's lost a second and I'm sure her heart is really hurting.  I have managed not to make as many close relationships, as she has and therefore, it's not as often that I loose someone close to me.

Acne Treatment......

 I've seen where there are certain, supplements that help with your health.  Skin and beauty products are building markets so that people can get  acne pills  that helps clear their skin's surface.  I'm sure that there are some of these products which can help, and securing the suggestion of a doctor would be beneficial before attempting to purchase one.

Traveling Angels........

Two traveling angels stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family..

   The family was rude and refused to let the angels stay in the mansion's guest room..

   Instead the angels were given a small space in the cold basement.

   As they made their bed on the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it.

   When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied,

   "Things aren't always what they seem"


   The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very hospitable farmer and his wife.

   After sharing what little food they had the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they could have a good night's rest.


   When the sun came up the next morning the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears.


   Their only cow, whose milk had been their sole income, lay dead in the field..

   The younger angel was infuriated and asked the older angel how could you have let this happen?


   The first man had everything, yet you helped him, she accused.

   The second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you let the cow die..

   "Things aren't always what they seem," the older angel replied.


   "When we stayed in the basement of the mansion, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall.

   Since the owner was so obsessed with greed and unwilling to share his good fortune, I sealed the wall so he wouldn't find it."


   "Then last night as we slept in the farmers bed, the angel of death came for his wife I gave him the cow instead.

   Things aren't always what they seem."

   Sometimes that is exactly what happens when things  don't turn out the way they should. If you have faith, you just need to trust that every out come is always to your advantage. You just might not know it until some time later...

Birth

The birth of a new baby is always, something that new parents indeed want to brag about.  There are certain projects that need to be finished before the youngster arrives.  Parents and friend may choose to help the new parents by sending out  baby shower invitations to a well hosted party.  There's always so many items needed for a newborn, and this helps with the cost of the child's birth.

Now What

I was taking a course online that was important to my driving record.  As I progressed the website, kept moving me along to the next page of the driving course and then giving me short tests, to test my knowledge.  I was about 3/4's of the way through the course, when suddenly my computer screen froze.  I tried to click on the screen to get it back but it wouldn't give.  Not knowing what to do, I sat there and waited to see if the course would reconnect and come back online.  The screen went black and then it told me I had lost internet connection, please reconnect to my service provider. 
All of the work I had do and the tests I had taken were not saved and therefore lost.  I was so mad, and reconnected to the internet service provider, then went back through the steps of getting back online, to go back to that certain account.  It was my hope that the work which had progressed to a certain level, would still be there.  To my dismay the whole course had to be started over again.  Each time the computer would slow down or stall, it would scare me for fear it would happen again.  I managed to make it all the way through the course this time, and sighed with relief when it was over.  I suppose if I had of had the  wildblue internet provider , things would have been much different and I wouldn't have had the problems that I experienced. It's necessary to have good service even if you live out in a rural area.

Hey Larry

It wasn't the best of situations, but somehow we managed to get through them.  You voiced your opinions, and made it very clear how you felt about the way things were being handled.  Unfortunately like me you had no say.
I'm talking about the day we laid Robert to rest.  Down through the years you and he were growing up buddies, and when you finally made your way to our home, I was offended by the way you acted toward me.  He tried to smooth it over, but I knew you didn't like me. 
At his funeral you talked and talked and talked.........I finally had to excuse myself because the service was starting.  After the funeral, you called almost everyday about something you thought I needed to know.  Actually, it was your opinion about it that you thought I needed.  Finally, when I had grown tired of your incessant calling to talk about crap that one of the kids was doing, I just stopped accepting your calls.  You made some snide remarks on my voice mail, but I just chalked it up to you being you.  I just didn't want to talk about Robert's kids, ex-wife and such, anymore.  It wasn't my business anyway, and I was completely out of the picture.  Finally, your calls stopped, but I heard word of how you were from time to time.  I saw you once more, right after Betty passed away and that was the last time.
I'm sorry you are gone, but it looks like this is something we all have to face one day.  I suppose you and Robert can have a time talking about the old days, now that you are both deceased.
Sincerely,
Nita

Hello Bobby

It wasn't a good thing to hear that you had passed away.  Even though we weren't friends, during the years I knew you, still you made a huge impact on my life.  The type of impact you made was one that I wouldn't wish on any of my enemies.  You had a way of trying to suck people into your world, and then when they didn't accept things the way you wanted them to, you would attack them verbally to the point of everyone in the building being able to hear. 
My association with you was that as well as many other horrible situations.  You seem to push yourself on people, even though they didn't want to be around you.  One of you allies was my last husband and you became a thorn in my side with your every visit. Many of these would be unannounced, in the middle of the night, with your body in disarray from some one beating the heck out of you or stabbing you at a bar.  Naturally, you would fall on our couch, and be a visitor for several days, expecting me to wait on you.  My husband would try to help with this situation, but he didn't give much where you were concerned.  He allowed you to make yourself at home and help yourself to anything we had to eat, whether we could afford your extra expense or not. 
You were one of the people who helped my husband get illegal drugs which became his demise as well.  As long as I knew you I never was able to accept being around you, and you seem to push that much harder.  They say that God, lets the bad people into your life, so that you can learn patience.  What God was teaching me, was something I didn't want to learn. 
I don't know how you eventually died, but I hope it wasn't the way I thought you would.  I only hope you were able to get your life straight before this happened.
Sincerely,
Nita
