BLESSED NOT OPPRESSED

I get really sad when I turn on the television today.  

I wonder if people own a Bible much less even read it.  

It says LOVE THY NEIGHBOR as THYSELF !!!

   Get out your Bible..
dust it off; now look up 
Matthew 22: 34-40


[34] But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.
[35] Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,
[36] Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
[37] Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
[38] This is the first and great commandment.
[39] And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
[40] On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Now don't skip over the other parts in that verse..Did you notice before that..I highlighted those too..if you didn't notice.  


Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

                              ...not I said..or Joey said or Susy said..

                             or the person across the street...

JESUS SAID!!

I tell you what..this world is full of NOTHING but the reverse of that verse.  

All of this tearing down of things, and burning up stuff, and pointing fingers.  
Talking ugly about one another.  All of this killing and being ugly has got to stop.   
This is not right.  I wasn't raised to be ugly to people, any people.  
We were taught to be nice..just nice.

Don't get me wrong, I realize there are some people it is hard to be nice to...BUT that is what PRAY is for.
ASK GOD TO HELP YOU...WE ARE NOT ALONE !!!

<3 GOD IS ALWAYS NEAR  AND READY TO LISTEN <3 
  
BE KIND TO YOUR NEIGHBOR !!! 

My Mama told us if we didn't have something nice to say..don't say anything !!       

You walk around saying how you are so down and out.  

Don't you see how blessed we ALL ARE!!!

This country has been in the middle of a PANDEMIC..

ARE YOU SICK???  

HAVE YOU BEEN SICK?? 

If we are not sick, and if you lived through it ..

THANK GOD !!!

Becuase it is ONLY By the GRACE OF GOD.. 

YOU ARE BLESSED...NOT OPPRESSED !!!  

You better be THANKING GOD, not complaining.  

THINK ON THIS!!!

Thank God for you health..your life..

and your family..

Thank him for breathing, opening your eyes this morning and the ability to walk.  

Some CANNOT do these things !!!

May God Bless you..

Of Hens and Humans

I saw a lot of human characteristics and actions while I sat there on the stoop at my Mama's Ruby's house. You can learn a lot watching the happenings in a barnyard. I know I did watching the many adventures of my grandparent's roosters and chickens. This brought to me, after all of these years, in a featherly way what is common and wrong in the lives of people. We are a lot like those birds. I have a beautiful group of chickens and roosters. They are all different varieties and colors. Each one has its own style and personality. I named one of those beautiful hens, Ellie Mae. She was a victim of the other chickens’ unfair treatment. She was a beautiful hen. I would sit and watch her walk around the grass. I was sitting on the porch cracking some pecans one day. We were going to make some pies. I noticed that sweet Ellie Mae had some feathers missing. L ater that day, I saw what had ha...

JUST DUST

JUST DUST As I peered down the grocer aisle, there she was.. Standing there with her red pigtails, and fancy hair bows. I wanted to melt into the floor, and fade into the tile. I was wearing my polyester pant suit that my Aunt Lucy made me... She was wearing store bought clothes; it was just one of the reasons she thought she was better than me. And well, some kids at school thought if you didn't have those fancy store bought things that you didn't match up. I was just not good enough. See, my family didn't have all those fancy things that money could afford. My daddy was a hard worker. He worked from daylight to dark.. He was a carpenter. My Mama and Daddy gave me and my brothers a wonderful, loving home. They provided for us well. They took us to church. ...

No Not One

NO NOT ONE I was sitting on the doorstep with my friend Sophie one Saturday evening, and I said, “Sophie, ask your Mama if you spend the night at my house tonight.” “Hey, great idea”, she said. We were only seven years old, and having a sleep over was way cool. Then she said, “Oh wait, tomorrow is Sunday. Are you going to go to church?” I said, “Well, yes, of course I am, but you can go with us. Come on, you will like Sunday School. It is fun.” “Oh, I don’t know”, she said. “Why, don’t you want to go”? She said, “I don’t think God wants me in Heaven, I have been too bad.” I giggled at Sophie, and she gasped..I quickly apologized And gave her a hug..and said: My dear friend My Dear Lord and Savior Gave his precious son’s life blood for you All of us are too bad for Heaven… But NONE of us are too bad To be FORGIVEN...

IT IS ALL GOD
