Today I am going to share a poem, one that is found many places, but it says so much….

 

Life is not a race - but indeed a journey.

Be Honest. Work hard. Be choosy.

Say "thank you", "I love you", and "great job" to someone each day.

Go to church, take time for prayer.

The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh.

Let your handshake mean more than pen and paper.

Love your life and what you've been given, it is not accidental - search for your purpose and do it as best you can.

Dreaming does matter. It allows you to become that which you aspire to be.

Laugh often. Appreciate the little things in life and enjoy them.

Some of the best things really are free.

Do not worry, less wrinkles are more becoming.

Forgive, it frees the soul.

Take time for yourself - plan for longevity.

Recognize the special people you've been blessed to know.

Live for today, enjoy the moment."

This is very true and inspirational to me! And it’s how I try to live my life! I hope that some part of these words or the entire thing will encourage you! I can’t imagine my life any other way, but  most of all, I can’t imagine it without the Lord and prayer! I mean that. Because of him, we have an abundant life to live! And when we live it abundantly in him, we have joy and peace! Be sure to dream big!!!

Keep on Trucking and know it will get better!!!

One of my all time favorite songs, by one of my favorite artists. It always makes me know that It will all get better and to keep going, not to slow down and dwell in self pitty! So guess what, that is just what I do! And Yesterday I had to really do it! But it worked and today is a new day, and it has been beautiful!

So here's the video ~





I have to say it's true, if you slow down and let the devil know you are there, he is going to get right in your business and break you way down!

Here's it's a new day and a nice day! We have just being spending some time together, mommy and girls! They have been too funny and having lots of fun hanging out around the house! And we have something big to look forward to, it's called, Race Day tomorrow! Daddy will be in the pits, but mommy and the girls will be watching and cheering from the stands! Yeah!!!! I can't wait and neither can Lil E! She is so so ready! She even showed me how we are to cheer today! My Lil racing buddy for sure!

Hope yalla re having a great day!

The SWEETEST!!!!

When you wonder if your little ones are learning what you are teaching them. You are hit with the surprise. I have been sick and can't stop coughing. Last night Lil E was snuggled in my bed, and I had been coughing and had a cough drop. Then it hit me, she knows just what to do. She said "Mommy, Jesus is in your heart, if we pray he will make you better." I said aww that is sweet, can you pray? She smile the biggest and brightest smile ever and said yes. Then here it is her words, "Jesus make mommy feel better. Please take her cough away and not let her throw up anymore. Please Jesus make mommy not sick. Thank you, Jesus. Amen." Tears rolled down my face and I'll never forget that very moment. My sweet lil 4 year old daughter prayed for me! So yes, even when you think they aren't listening or getting it, they are! Keep on teaching them and praying for them.

May your day be blessed!

We choose them!

We choose them... And I'm so thankful that we did, I am the one who's life has been made so much more! My daughters, the ones that I was given from God's arms through the loving gift of Adoption! They make me do all that I do to be a better mom, person, to make their life better! Jesus Christ did choose us, too! He gave his life for all of ours! What a wonderful gift. Salvation is the most wonderful gift anyone can receive, and you know what it's free! How much better can it be?

I saw this beautiful video tonight, Adoption is a gift, it's a gift of love! Please view this video, as you will see, it's a gift by many and how wonderful it can be!



Hugs and Blessings,

Nothing is Impossible!!!

WOW O WOW, I had to share this with you all! I am not sure who all has seen this video, but it is simply remarkable! Praise God! What a wonderful Christmas Miracle this family was blessed with! Just remember, the power of prayer does work, God is still in the Miracle business, and nothing is impossible for God!

The Christmas Ten Commandments

THE CHRISTMAS TEN COMMANDMENTS

1. Thou shalt give thy heart to Christ.
Let Him be at the top of thy Christmas list

2. Thou shalt prepare thy soul for Christmas.
Spend not so much on gifts that thy soul is forgotten.

3. Thou shalt not let Santa Claus replace Christ, thus robbing the day of its spiritual reality.

4. Thou shalt not burden the shop girl, the mailman, and the merchant with complaints and demands.

5. Thou shalt give thyself with thy gift.
This will increase its value a hundred fold, and he whoreceiveth it shall treasure it forever.

6. Thou shalt not value gifts received by their cost.
Even the least expensive may signify love, andthat is more priceless than silver and gold.

7. Thou shalt not neglect the needy.
Share thy blessings with many who will go hungry and coldunless thou are generous.

8. Thou shalt not neglect thy church.
Its services highlight the true meaning of the season.

9. Thou shalt be as a little child.
Not until thou has become in spirit as a little one art thouready to enter into the kingdom of Heaven.

10. Thou shall not forget to share your joy, peace and faith with those around you.

God Bless the USA

God Bless the USA! May our freedoms continue! May we stand strong in our Christian belielfs and morals. The very reasons I did vote McCain/Palin!!! But for reasons I can not imagine, it was not the way this time. There was nothing ever against Obama for color or race! But difference if what I believe in and what he stands for. But today starts the next chapter? How do we handle this? Do we hide in shame or move on??? May we stand proud and hold our heads up high! I pray we do! I pray that each one of us finds the peace we need and the love for our Country! Many of us are broked now, but I have to remind myself, God has control! We must turn it over to him! We must stop trying to fix it now, and let God do it! We are blessed to live in the GREATEST Nation on Earth! One Nation Under God! I challange everyone to turn their focus on God, let him comfort you during this time, time of unknown. Let God lead you, lead you morally, lead your future decisions! Pray, and pray faithfully! "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people he chose for his inheritance." Psalms 33:12. God will bless us, but we have to keep God center! We must put our faith in him! "For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline." 2 Timothy 1:7. With this, yes I did vote for McCain/Palin, but I am going to stand strong in faith that God has a plan and stand up for what is right by God's word! He will provide for us and will get us through! He will Bless the USA! Turn your eyes to God! Praise his Holy Name! And remember we are living in the GREATEST land, Our home, the USA!!! The home our BRAVE MEN and WOMEN fought and died to keep us free!!! Thank you to all that Serve! God Bless the USA!!!!
