A LOVE NOTE

A LOVE NOTE
FROM JESUS
By: Yvonne Green


Throughout the good/ bad times there
has always been something significant.
Something that no matter how good/bad
it seems to pull me through each time.


It’s been talked about.
Sung about, read about,
studied about, some people may wear one,
others may not have one to wear.

You should have it figured out by now
If not oh well I will go ahead and tell you I am referring to {CROSS}.


It seems like the more lessons that I learn from the school of hard knocks the more I wonder will graduation ever come?
In every lesson I seem to find
Love,
Jesus

The more I shared in the sufferings of Jesus and endured persecution
Love,
Jesus

When people judged me right and left I found
I accept you for who you are where you are
Love,
Jesus

The first time I stumbled and fell down only to feel someone’s arms around me I could not see to help me stand up I found
Love,
Jesus

When I am around people who do stuff only to get a reaction from me I found “Lo I am with with you always”
Love,
Jesus

When I am around people who want to be Christ like and I stop and think how blessed I am I found
Love,
Jesus


How God loves mankind and just waits patiently
already knowing that one day someone
He created will come to Him.

God does not need to fellowship with man
He chose to fellowship with man there is a difference

If there were not a Roman soldier to nail him to the Cross
Jesus would have nailed Himself to the Cross.

When Jesus was on the CROSS HE saw every sin to be committed past, present, and future

Every good work to be done.
Now I could continue on but as soon as I stopped I am sure that I would learn another lesson that would be signed
Love,
Jesus

If you will recall at the very beginning I vaguely mentioned something but in reality nothing’s bigger than the CROSS.

For me every time I got a note that was signed
Love,
Jesus
I learned another lesson about the CROSS

JESUS’ BLOOD is so important for many reasons:

Forgiveness

I accept you

Unconditionaly Love

Mercy

Grace

List is indeed infinite

Remember there are 2 pieces of wood

One facing parallel
and the other perpendicular
which simply means I love you
enough to give you free will

Now you choose.

You decide
Love,
Jesus

I predestined YOU to HEAVEN
Love,
Jesus

Lo I stand at the door and knock
Love,
Jesus

Gods Purpose

A Little Backgound on this is that I originally wrote this as a song and still sing it Author: Yvonne Green

There is but One God/
God’s Purpose will stand
Taken from Isaiah 46
Written By; Yvonne Green

For there is but one God
For there is but one God
For there is
For there is but one God

God’s purpose will stand
His purpose will stand
His purpose
God’s purpose will stand

For there is but One God
For there is but One God
For there is
For there is but One God

From the east He does summon a bird of prey
A bird of prey
From the east He does summon a bird of prey
And the bird does answer for there is but one God
And the bird does answer for there is but one God

God’s purpose will stand
His purpose will stand
His purpose
God’s purpose will stand

From a far distant land He does summon a servant
From a far distant land He does summon a servant
And the servant is grateful to hear his voice
And the servant is grateful to hear His voice

For there is but One God
For there is but one God
For there is
For there is but One God

One God.

No Limitations

Taking the Limits Off of God

God's power is limited by only one thing: Your way of thinking.

When we are worried, negative, or discouraged, it shows a lack of faith.

The children of Israel were guilty of it.

They saw first-hand His miracles but still questioned God when they were in the wilderness.

Stir up your faith today and get out of that rut!

It's time to stop thinking about what you can't do and start thinking about what God can do.

No matter what you need, never ask, "Can God?"

God can and God will.

When you truly believe this and keep an attitude of faith,

you'll be at peace and expect all of the good things that you inherit as God's child.

GOD

LOVES

YOU
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:1

Everything and everyone came after God, (Jesus, Holy Spirit, Angels) nothing came before.



GOD WILL NEVER LEAVE U. GOD LOVES U

Imperfect People

Okay Guys I can't take credit for this one. This is just some of notes that I took today that I felt like sharing.

Mark 2: 1-12

Imperfect People:

"How do you look at these people?"

"Key to being a Christian is you need to remember not everyone has Jesus in their heart."

"Maturity reflects how you view other people/

How you receive them?"

"85% of people would com to Church if someone they knew would invite them "

God blesses (fill in your name)_______________ so

the World can say there is something different

Go to www.youtube.com and do a search for 8 Reasons Why I don't share Faith for those who want to see the video.

Here they are 8 reasons Why You Don't share Your Faith::

8.] I'm afraid I will get Beat up

7.] I'm afraid that I will not make sense

6..] I'm afraid that people will make fun of me when I ask the ? Have you Heard of Jesus??

5.] I don't know where to begin to share my faith

4.] I'm afraid I will be a bad witness

3.} I'll say the wrong thing

2.} I don't want people to think I''m a religious nut (self--esteem)

1.} I don't know enough about the Bible

These are EXCUSES not REASONS

JESUS NEVER PICKED OR CHOOSE

WITH JESUS THERE IS LOVE FOR ALL

IN TODAY'S GENERATION PEOPLE WANT TO SEE THAT YOU CARE BEFORE YOU CAN REACH THEM

GOD CARES ABOUT SEEING PEOPLE COME TO JESUS

WHEN GOD SPEAKS TO US WE MAKE THE CHOICE::

LISTEN/FOLLOW GOD

VS

PRETEND/IGNORE THAT GOD HAS SPOKEN DIRECTLY TO YOU

YOU CAN GET IN THE GAME OF CHRISTIANITY AND BE AN MVP PLAYER

IF NOT NOW WHEN??????

IF NOT YOU WHO?????

YET PRIOR TO RESURRECTION MORNING

WHEN

JESUS WAS ON THE CROSS

HE SAID

"FATHER FORGIVE THEM

FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO"

LOVE OF GOD


As I look to the left than to the right I see God’s love.

It is painted in laughter I hear a smile on a Grandma’s face.
Its funny how Grandparents work.
When they are just parents it is typical for the son or the daughter as the case may be to hear both yes and no.
When they become a Grandparent suddenly their love is different.
They get all the favorite things for the grandchildren.
Its common to hear just don’t tell your MOM and of course the child is going to say I am going to do just that.

Cause in the Child's mind I want you to bless me and you want feel good if you don’t bless me.

Kind of makes me wonder where they get an idea like that from and of course I know the answer but I hate to give the answer away.

Then I find myself stopping and thinking that God knew the book of Revelation before He chose for there to be a beginning.

To begin simply means to create, start, implement, however whenever there is a beginning there must be a finish line.

What is so interesting that God knew the order that the verses need to be in.

The written word is a gift from God to His sons and daughters.
After all God remembers everything that He has ever spoken and will ever speak to every one of His sons and daughters.

Regardless how mankind acts nice or mean, an act of friendship or a hate crime the choice is left up to mankind.
Not that mankind chose for it to be that way but God chose it that way.
Yet it makes me stop and wonder because God created mankind to worship Him as we should .
To have an intimate relationship with Him to always thirst for more.
Yet God took His love so far to the point regardless of how mankind treats Him.
He simply says I love you.
With God, He sees one or the other
This is my child who last prayed (you fill the date in)
Or this is my creation that I long to welcome to the family.
The angels are waiting to have a party and waiting.
There is nothing that will hurt God quicker than someone who accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior , yet isn't close to God
. More than anything God longs to hear every son and daughters prayer.

He even silences all of Heaven just to hear your voice.
In the meantime God waits and longs just to hear your voice

As much as He longs to hear your voice
He just simply says it would not be love from their Heavenly Father if I did not give them free will.
God made the choice to give everyone free will.
Just as a child wants to be spoiled by his/her grandparents

God wants to do even more but it all begins in prayer.
The best thing about the Bible is that God works according to His written word
Not mans word there is a difference.

Regardless of your choice God gently whispers I LOVE YOU can’t wait to hear from you.

Praise God

I was exercising last night to praise music.

One of the songs was titled Oh the Greatest Gift.

Well I must admit I found myself thinking of the words throughout the day.

Okay the first part of the song which is:

Oh the Greatest Gift I ever received was Hand Me Down Love

Love that Stood the test of time.

I must admit the artist nailed it right on the dot.

Granted I must admit I could not even begin to thank God for each and every blessing.

One thing is I'm thankful for Hand Me Down Love, a Love that Stood the
Test of Time.

Bottom line is every person who has ever drawn a breath of life God predestined to Heaven.

Of course God takes it a step further and lets mankind choose.

Grateful for Hand me Down Love, Gift of Salvation, mystery of prayer, ectra......

Good vs Evil or is it Evil vs Good You be the Judge or is it God is the Judge

As so many others I went to Church.
Some might say I grew up in Church there was just one catch I wasn't saved.
Every Sunday morning I had to wear a dress.
The dress code was a little sticker compared to now.

Have you ever met someone who just seem to fit the right in.
They seemed to say the right words wear the coolest shirts.
Its so easy to accept them after all they fit in.

What about the ones who necessarily don't fit the mold?
Maybe its someone who rides a motorcycle and at every stop He passes out tracts.

Are you more comfortable to receive a tract from a person who dresses the right way verses a person that has long hair, has a earring in, and rides a motorcycle??

What's the difference?? It could be the same tract??

Didn't Jesus shed His blood for both.

Isn't James right God has no favorites.

Could it be society??

What will people think??

Regardless of what it is its What God thinks that matters.

Hate to tell you the following but this lady has it.

Okay your right I don't hate to tell you.

I work with a very special Lady well she is in my book.

More importantly she is in Gods book.

That is what matters right.

Indeed I say Indeed that is what counts.

The word Indeed in Hebrew is like an exclamation point.!!!!!!!

My friend has tattoos all over her arms.

My favorite one is found on the lower part of Robyn's arm.

On one side she has a beautiful tattoo of Jesus.

On the other side is a tattoo of the Devil.

Hey Robyn what's the story with those tattoos'??

Robyn answered the question with just one word.

Mankind. You either look to Jesus or the Devil.

One word answered the question.

Mankind. Final answer.

Robyn has it.

Above all God knows her by name.

I work with her and better yet we'll see each other in Heaven

MY FAVORITE SONG

I received this as an e-mail

I feel it needs to be shared

Just listen to the words

T--O--O-- B--U--S--Y--?

I received this as an e-mail and felt it should be shared.

Satan's Meeting


(Read it, even if you're busy, especially if you're too busy)

Satan called a worldwide convention of demons.

In his open address he said.
We can't keep Christians from going to church.
We can't keep them from reading their Bibles and knowing the truth.
We can't even keep them from forming an intimate relationship with their Savior.
Once they gain that connection with Jesus,
our power over them is broken.
So let them go to their churches;
Let them have their covered Dish dinners,
but steal their time,

so they don't have time to develop a real relationship with Jesus Christ.

"This is what I want you to do”, said the devil.

"Distract them from gaining hold of their Savior and maintaining that vital connection throughout their day!

"How shall we do this?” his demons shouted.

"Keep them busy in the non essentials of life and invent innumerable schemes to occupy their minds,” he answered:

a. tempt them to spend,spend,spend,and borrow,borrow,borrow.

b..Persuade the wives to go to work for long hours and the husbands to work 6-7 days each week, 10-12 hours a day, so they can afford their empty lifestyles.

c..Keep them from spending time with their children. As their families fragments,soon,their homes will offer no escape from the pressure of work!

d..Over-stimulate their minds so they cannot hear that 'still,small voice.'

e..Entice them to play the radio or cassette player whenever they drive...
to keep the TV,VCR, Cd's and their PCs going constantly in their home
and see to it that every store and restaurant in the world plays non-biblical music constantly.

This will jam their minds and break that union with Christ.

f..Fill the office tables with magazines and newspapers.
Pound their minds with the news 24 hours a day.
Invade their driving moments with billboards.
Flood their mailbox with junk mail,
mail order catalogs, sweepstakes,
and every kind of newsletter and promotional offerings free products,
service and false hopes.

g..Keep skinny, beautiful models on the magazines
and TV so their husbands will believe that outward beauty is what's important,
and they'll become dissatisfied with their wives.

h..Keep the wives too tired to love their husbands at night.

Give them headaches too
! If they don't give their husbands the love they need, they will begin to look elsewhere.
That will fragment their families quickly!

i..Give them Santa Claus to distract them from teaching their children the real meaning of Christmas.

j..Give them as Easter bunny so they won't talk about his resurrection and power over sin and death.

k..Even in their recreation, let them be excessive.
.have them return from their recreation exhausted
Keep them too busy to go in nature and reflect on God's creation.

Send them to amusement parks!, sporting events,plays,concerts, and movies instead.

l..Keep them busy,busy,busy!

And when they meet for spiritual fellowship,
they will leave with troubled conscience.
m..Crowd their lives with so many good causes
that they have no time to seek power from Jesus.
Soon they will be working in their own strength,
sacrifice their health and family for the good of the cause.

'It will work! It will work!!'

It was a quite a plan!

The demons
went eagerly to their assignments causing
Christians everywhere to have little time for their God
or their families, and to have little or no time to tell others
about the power of Jesus to change lives.
I guess the question is, has the devil been successful at his scheme?

You be the judge!

Does "busy" mean:
B-eing
U-nder
S-atan's
Y-oke?

Hope you enjoyed it; now have a blessed day!

Meditate

Its easy to get caught up in the daily routine and take things for granted oh like just being able to talk with Our Heavenly Father. When I read this e-mail I knew it had to be shared.

Deck of Cards

It was quiet that day,the guns and the mortars,and landmines for some reason hadn't been heard.

The young soldier knew it was Sunday, the holiest day of the week.

As he was sitting there, he got out an old deck of cards and laid them out across his bunk.

Just then an army sergeant came in and said, 'Why aren't you with the rest of the platoon?'

The soldier replied, 'I thought I would stay behind and spend some time with the Lord.'

The sergeant said, 'Looks to me like you're going to play cards.'

The soldier said, 'No, sir. You see, since we are not allowed to have Bibles or other spiritual books in this country,

I've decided to talk to the Lord by studying this deck of cards.'

The sergeant asked in disbelief, 'How wil l you do that?'

'You see the Ace, Sergeant? It reminds me that there is only one God.

The Two represents the two parts of the Bible, Old and New Testaments

The Three represents the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost.

The Four stands for the Four Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

The Five is for the five virgins there were ten but only five of them were glorified.

The Six is for the six days it took God to create the Heavens and Earth.

The Seven is for the day God rested after making His Creation.

The Eight is for the family of Noah and his wife, their three sons and their wives -- the eight people God spared from the flood that destroyed the Earth.

The Nine is for the lepers that Jesus cleansed of leprosy He cleansed ten, but nine never thanked Him.

The Ten represents the Ten Commandments that God handed down to Moses on tablets made of stone.

The Jack is a reminder of Satan, one of Go d's first angels, but he got kicked out of heaven for his sly and wicked ways and is now the joker of eternal hell.

The Queen stands for the Virgin Mary.

The King stands for Jesus, for he is the King of all kings.

When I count the dots on all the cards, I come up with 365 total, one for every day of the year.

There are a total of 52 cards in a deck; each is a week - 52 weeks in a year.

The four suits represent the four seasons: Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter.

Each suit has thirteen cards -- there are exactly thirteen weeks in a quarter.

So when I want to talk to God and thank Him,

I just pull out this old deck of cards and they remind me of all that I have to be thankful for.'

The sergeant just stood there.

After a minute, with tears in his eyes and pain in his heart, he said, 'Soldier, can I borrow that deck of cards?'

Please let this be a reminder and take time to pray for all of our soldiers who are being sent away, putting their lives on the line fighting

Leap of Faith

Not to long ago I wrote about how one person matters

After all a person's value comes from God

It's like I read somewhere when you realize that everything you have comes from God.

Well everyone does matter.

Okay Okay allow me to set the stage

Last week at the Singles Ministry that I attend quite frequently we had a baptism service.

There were 14 people that had signed up to be baptized last Thursday

Last Thursday morning the singles Pastor felt God impress on him how they were more people that needed to be baptized.

So he sets off to the store and gets 8 shirts and 7 pair of shorts all different sizes of course.

That night everything that the Pastor had purchased was used. Instead of 14 being baptized 21 people were now baptized.

I want to talk about the last person for just a minute he walked up to the Pastor and said "Do you think that God can love me?"

Well you guessed it the Pastor said Yes and He led him in the prayer of salvation and then He was baptized that night.

Thus all the clothes that the Pastor had purchased was used and instead of 14 people baptized 21 people got baptized.

Talk about a spiritual High.

I must admit I just wanted to sit there and soak up Gods Presence like a sponge.

To soak Gods love up like a sponge.

For you see the Pastor listened to God and as the Pastor tapped the rock God was faithful.

Well lets just say a lot of people had spiritual hangovers so to speak

Always remember you do matter for God knew you before He formed the Earth.

Think about it.

Doubts

If you never had any doubts about your salvation,
I doubt you have ever been saved . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Andrian Rogers

Jesus responds to our doubts by showing us who He really is (Matt 11: 4-6)

Gods word is not given for information

Gods word is given for transformation

Jesus never breaks His promise

"I show you doubt, to prove that faith exists." ---Robert Browning

"Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do." --John Wooden

Remember God loves you where ever you are.

Whatever your feelings are that is what God wants

Remember God uses the weak to lead the strong

ONE PERSON . . . . .

One person can make a difference

JESUS DID !

If only one person that has accepted Jesus could tell one person

Only one person telling one person

What a difference HEAVEN would be . . . . . . .

IF ONLY . . . . . . .

GOD leaves the choice up to you . . . . .

Remember God gave mankind free will . . . . .

IF ONLY . . . .

TO BE A SPONGE ! ! !

I just finished looking this word up in the Webster's Dictionary.

Sponge - to absorb

Like most people you might think of absorbing a liquid maybe water. Okay I will admit it that was my first thought.

Then somewhere along the way I started thinking of God's presence.

Have you ever wanted to do any of the following:
-To soak the presence of God up like a sponge thirsty for more.

-To have a hunger for THE ONE WHO GAVE IT ALL FOR YOU

-To have a thirst for THE ONE WHO GAVE IT ALL FOR ME

Ah yes Jesus did give everything He Had for you, for me or is it for me, for you.

To just soak it up .

To be a sponge when you feel the presence of :
_God
- Jesus
-Holy-Spirit
-Written Word ( in this case when you hear or read)

Just to be a sponge soaking up everything that is Good from God

A very wise Pastor said "Change People Change People"

Another wise person said "Now Go Change someone by the power of the Holy Spirit that is within you."

Ah yes to soak it up and then to share Gods love with another person.

One of the biggest fears a Christian has to Witness to another person.

For those who have shared their faith with another I salute you.

For those who say that God is their Heavenly Father I hear by challenge you to share your faith with 1 person while hear on Earth.

It can be as simple as saying 'YOU MATTER TO GOD" or maybe something like 'ONE BIRTH CHANGED HISTORY".

Then if you hear a question you can tell them about Jesus.

Remember how your heart and life was changed the second you asked Jesus into your heart.

Changed People Change People

S T O P ! ! ! !

When I rec this e-mail I took the liberty of sending it my friends.

Some are co-workers. Ok I forwarded it to a lot of co-workers.

I received this e-mail from my Uncle who gets up early every morning

just to pray for ME!!

Read This Slowly

Jack took a long look at his speedometer

before slowing down: 73 in a 55 zone.

Fourth time in as many months.

How could a guy get caught so often?

When his car had slowed to 10 miles an hour,

Jack pulled over, but only partially.

Let the cop worry about the potential traffic hazard.

Maybe some other car will tweak his backside with a mirror.

The cop was stepping out of his car, the big pad in hand.

Bob? Bob from Church?

Jack sunk farther into his trench coat.

This was worse than the coming ticket.

A cop catching a guy from his own church.

A guy who happened to be a little eager

to get home after a long day at the office.

A guy he was about to play golf with tomorrow.

Jumping out of the car, he approached a man he saw every Sunday, a man he'd never seen in uniform.

'Hi, Bob. Fancy meeting you like this.'

'Hello, Jack.' No smile.
'Guess you caught me red-handed
in a rush to see my wife and kids.'

'Yeah, I guess.' Bob seemed uncertain. Good. 'I've seen some long days at the office lately.
I'm afraid I bent the rules a bit -just this once.'

Jack toed at a pebble on the pavement. 'Diane said something about roast beef and potatoes tonight.

Know what I mean?'

'I know what you mean.

I also know that you have a reputation in our precinct .'


Ouch.


This was not going in the right direction.

Time to change tactics.

'What'd you clock me at?'

Seventy.

Would you sit back in your car please?'

'Now wait a minute here, Bob.

I checked as soon as I saw you.

I was barely nudging 65.'

The lie seemed to come easier with every ticket.

Please, Jack, in the car.

Flustered, Jack hunched himself through the still-open door.

Slamming it shut, he stared at the dashboard.

He was in no rush to open the window.

The minutes ticked by.

Bob scribbled away on the pad.

Why hadn't he asked for a driver's license?

Whatever the reason, it would be a month of Sundays

before Jack ever sat near this cop again.

A tap on the door jerked his head to the left.

There was Bob, a folded paper in hand

Jack rolled down the window a mere two inches, just enough room for Bob to pass him the slip.


'Thanks.'

Jack could not quite keep the sneer out of his voice.

Bob returned to his police car without a word.

Jack watched his retreat in the mirror.
Jack unfolded the sheet of paper.
How much was this one going to cost?

Wait a minute.
What was this? Some kind of joke?


Certainly not a ticket. Jack began to read:

'Dear Jack, Once upon a time I had a daughter.
She was six when killed by a car.
You guessed it - a speeding driver.
A fine and three months in jail, and the man was free.
Free to hug his daughters, all three of them.
I only had one, and I'm going to have to wait until Heaven
before I can ever hug her again.

A thousand times I've tried to forgive that man.
A thousand times I thought I had.
Maybe I did, but I need to do it again.
Even now.
Pray for me.
And be careful, Jack,
my son is all I have left.'

'Bob' Jack turned around in time to see Bob's car
pull away and head down the road.
Jack watched until it disappeared.
A full 15 minutes later, he too,
pulled away and drove slowly home,
praying for forgiveness and
hugging a surprised wife and kids when he arrived.

Life is precious.
Handle with care.
This is an important message;
please pass it along to your friends.
Drive safely and carefully.
Remember, cars are not the only things
recalled by their maker.

Funny how you can send a thousand jokes
through e-mail and they spread like wildfire,
but when you start sending messages
regarding the sanctity of life,
people think twice about sharing.

Funny how when you go to forward this message,
you will not send it to many on your address list
because you're not sure what they believe,
or what they will think of you
for sending it to them.
Pass this on,
you may save a life.
Maybe not,
but we'll never know if we don't try.
May today there be peace within you.
May you trust God
that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
'I believe that friends are quiet angels
who lift us to our feet
when our wings
have trouble remembering how to fly.'
Just send this.
The life you save may be ...
Your own child or grandchild.

Person of the Wek

Years ago I was blessed to hear a very wise lady who made the following statement:

TO CONTINUE TO LEAVE DEFEATED TAKES NO EFFORT
TO OVERCOME A SITUATION IT MAY SEEM TO TAKE EVERYTHING THAT
THE PERSON HAS INSIDE THEM SOMETIMES IT MAY SEEM IMPOSSIBLE BUT WITH THE GRACE OF GOD IT CAN BE DONE

This week my person of the week is a group of some special lady's.
They are the graduates of Mercy Ministries.
Life is never easy for anyone.
But the graduates of Mercy Ministries have chosen to be over comers.

After they complete the program and graduate over 80% become Missionaries or Counselors
to help others who are broken hearted.

As I have said many times before a person does not have to look to get knocked down.

On the flip side a person has to look to find encouragement.

Sometimes even in America a person has to look to find Jesus.

The good news is God is always reaching His hand down regardless of where a person is spiritually.

For more information feel free to click on the link.

The best part is the Mercy Graduates come out praising their Heavenly Father.

In my book these are very strong women and I would like to take this opportunity to salute them.

Deep Breathe

I feel I must begin with one of my favorite sayings:

---Allow me to set the stage:

-Its that time of year once again

-Time to have your annual physical or maybe its a sick visit

-Regardless it involves a trip to the Doctor's office

-I'll be the first to admit if I can skip the annual physicals I will

-(DON'T TELL THE Doctor shhhhhhhhh...........)

-Still occasionally I get sick and I must admit once again I dread going to the

doctor. I don't know about you but its expensive to get better.

-Yet even though I'm sick its usually the flu ugh.

-Even though its difficulty for me to take breath I know I will hear the question.

-The Doctor enters the room :
-checks my ears (oh no, I think here it comes.....)
-take a deep breath (I think to myself I can't talk and I was just asked to take a deep breath)
- I found myself telling the Doctor I will try

-It seems like just the other day I found myself realizing everything that God did just so I could take a deep breath.

God knew I would need:
-a pair of lungs
-my heart would need to beat
-it would require for my brain to be active (after all the brain plays a crucial role especially with the other organs or so I'm told)
-a deep breath involves the digestive system


-Then of course God knew I would need a nose.

OK you win. I must admit God knew everything that I would need just to take a

deep breath. Every good n perfect gift comes from above.

Smile or Frown The Choice is YOURS

Normally I try to write something that is encouraging.

After all I must admit I do not have to look to get knocked down.

On the flip side I do have to look to find something encouraging.

Unfortunately, whether you turn the TV on or buy a newspaper. The result is the same.

You either read or hear about something that is negative.

Once again on the flip side you have to seek and search.

To read or learn about how a person chose not to be a victim but instead chose to be an

over comer. Which brings me to something as simple as a smile.

Studies have shown that it indeed takes less muscles to smile.

Yet it's easier to find a frown than a smile.

I must admit I found myself thinking "As a man thinketh so he is....."""

Simple, yet profound.

Frown vs. smile

Smile vs. frown

Regardless one or the other was spoken to that person's spirit man and if that was not important enough it was spoken to their destiny.

For you see a smile brings victory.

For you see a frown brings defeat.

Defeat vs. Victory

Victory vs. Defeat.

Remember it wouldn't be God's Love after all God gave man FREE-WILL

Valentine's Day

In my room I have a Jesus stocking

Okay I have 2 Jesus stockings.

Let me guess? Why are you writing about a Christmas stocking.

Well I was hoping that you would ask that ?

In the Jesus stocking in my room. It has multiple uses.

After all whatever is on my heart that's what God wants to hear.

Come on lets face it God know my heart far better than I.

So what goes in my Jesus stockings?

I have praise reports.

Answered prayers.

Of course they are prayer requests.

Then comes one of my favorite parts.

I buy my Heavenly Father cards after all everything I have comes from Him.

Now don't get me wrong. After all I'm not saying that you have to do it. Its just

something that I do for My Heavenly Father.

Last year I got Father's day cards, Valentine's Day Card, Christmas Cards.

The card that I put in my Jesus stocking for Valentine's Day last year is worth sharing.

In hopes that it will help in some shape, manner or form.

Here goes:

For a Wonderful Father (on the outside)

(on the inside you will see the following)

A FATHER'S GREATEST GIFT

TO HIS FAMILY IS

THE WARMTH AND LIGHT

OF HIS LOVE.

YOU'VE GIVEN ME SO MUCH IN LIFE,

ESPECIALLY A SENSE OF SECURITY

AND FEELING VERY, VERY LOVED.

I COULDN'T ASK FOR

A BETTER FATHER THAN YOU

AND ON VALENTINE'S DAY,

I WANT YOU TO KNOW

HOW MUCH I APPRECIATE

ALL

YOU'VE DONE FOR ME. . . . . . . . . . .

AND HOW MUCH I LOVE

YOU.

(in closing)

Your child,
