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..

I GOT THIS ??

As we are now entering a new month, we pray that you Lord will carry us through each day whatever comes our way. You will lift us up when we walk through deep waters; you will guard our steps each day if we are walk near high cliffs. You will be with us in and out of danger. You, and ONLY you, are our lifeguard, and our protector; our Savior, our Heavenly Father. I pray that we desire ONLY to follow where you lead us to go. Luke 9:23 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow me. Everyday many of us make calendars..and YES it is a new month...SEPTEMBER is here !!! We make calendars to keep track of events, appointments, and other happenings or events going on in our lives. We are so busy rushing around in our lives and trying to micromanage. We have it down to the very detail. Some may have a daily schedul...

LET GO AND LET GOD

Have you ever set back and thought... Well, maybe it is time for me to let GOD take control of this in my life. First of all, You need to realize that GOD really already has control -- but he wants you to surrender to him that control. There probably are some of you out there who have thought about it, but how many of you have done it... You need to REALLY let him have control.. Let go of the worry and stress that is dragging you down.. LET GO AND LET GOD..... The Bible says Psalms 55:22 Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. WHY WOULD ANYONE KEEP CARRYING BURDENS WHEN GOD WILL CARRY THEM FOR US???? They are not ours, but HIS.. We have to realize that we cannot truly handle things on our own...we have to say DEAR LORD.. Not mine, but yours. It may be hard, but we have to g...

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...
