Patience, Strength, and Hope!

Yay! I have a new kitten! She is so cute and soft. However, she is biting and scratching my hands all up at the moment.  Someone abandoned her little family. They were really not old enough to be taken away from their momma, but we had been looking for a kitten and God sent us this one. She reminds me of how the Devil can be though, He comes as a cute little kitten but can be a vicious as an angry lion.     There is nothing worse than fresh scratches on your skin. A kitten can look cute, but their claws can hurt badly. I still love her and will keep her fed, watered, and entertained, but her claws hurt! We need to be careful in reality just the same, cause something can look cute as a kitten but really be the Devil in disguise. Most people have Satan pictured as a red animal with horns and a pitchfork, but the truth is, that He is everything we ever wanted.     Every dream, every lustful wish, every boastful thought was put there by Sa...

Making the Best of Depression

   When there is a lot of snow on the ground, it is so easy for the Devil to move in and speak the word " Depression" in your ear.  Being depressed is no fun and there are definitely  so many excuses that you can use in a winter storm.  The Devil will really use your mind as a playground so keep busy.  Clean your house, read a book, learn to crotchet.      Keep your mind moving as best you can if you do not wish to be depressed.  It is very easy to think negatively when you are stuck in the house all day long.  Whether you are by yourself or have a bigger family and going  stir crazy, don't let the Devil have even an inch of your mind. Believe me, He will do His best to put silly thoughts in your mind to get you all out of shape.      Now would be a good time to start some kind of a journal. Journaling is a good way to jot down your positive thoughts. When one keeps a journal, you can l...

Acid Refux and Apple Cider Vinegar

      As you get older, certain health problems become more noticeable.  Things like bones hurting more often, you get tired more easy, and for me, acid reflux.  Now, I am no doctor, bur like anyone else, I've had my share of problems.  Home remedies sometimes work better than over the counter medicines.  Apple Cider Vinegar is one item that I have found to have more than one purpose.  One can use Apple Cider Vinegar for household cleaning, but it also is  a good health aid as well. Apple Cider Vinegar is said to help aid the digestive system in many ways.       Most people that I have seen like to use a product called "Bragg," Apple Cider Vinegar. They say to make sure it is raw and unfiltered. Be careful when drinking Apple Cider Vinegar, though, it is very bitter, and very, very strong.  I can not drink it by itself.  I like to add honey and lemon to my Apple Cider Vinegar.  Some people ha...

Three Simple New Years Resolutions

         Sometimes all some people can do is produce negativity. There is nothing worse than someone who refuses to have a positive outlook on life. That's what my blog is centered around, trying to avoid those negative people and start surrounding yourself with people who have the same goals as you do.  Finding friends that have the same goals and same values as you do is very important.  No one deserves to be alone and no one deserves to be put down all the time.  God put us on Earth to be happy and that is what we need to achieve.            The Devil will always try to put obstacles in our way. In the end, however, He knows that God has already won the battle. If the Devil didn't try to defeat me, I'd be worried because then He would have won. I find that reading my Bible daily and praying to God is the most comforting thing that a person could do. As much as possible, we...

Shop till ya drop

Lately I have been going to drugstores to shop for household items and have been saving some money to put toward other bills. I am so excited! I will never pay retail price for those items again. I am talking about laundry detergent, toilet paper, toothbrushes and cleaning supplies. I feel silly shopping at drug stores for those kind of items, but I don't feel silly when I see what the final total is. There is nothing that excites me more than to help save a few dollars.   I don't know of anyone right now who couldn't afford to save some money on their bills, especially at Christmas time! Christmas time is difficult for more people than you might realize. It depresses some and that shouldn't be,but it's so true.  When you find items really cheap on your next shoppping trip, try to think of a person who could really use those products. It might be an older person or a younger person in college that doesn't have much money to spend.  You would be surprised at ho...

watching the world go by

   The grass isn't always greener on the other side.  No matter which side of the fence you live, there are always going to be problems and milestones to encounter. Everyone dreams under the same stars, whether they are normal, handicap,disabled, or just fine.  Sometimes it's better just to be who you are and not try to blend in with everyone else.The crowd doesn't always have the right answer either. Sometimes they are hiding something they are ashamed of when they badger you.  Don't let it stop you from enjoying your own life. Try to do everything you can to better it, but don't let them push you out of existence. The trouble is not worth your time.   If people really love you, they will accept your disability or whatever it maybe that you are keeping from them.  Sometimes a disability is visible, sometimes it isn't. God gave it to you to prove His love to you in some way that only you can tell it was from Him. Not anyone everyone goes through the s...

"think about your thoughts"

   There are so many articles written on judging others but I don't think the subject can be reiterated enough. People don't think before they say the words that are jumbling around in their heads. Everyone have emotions no matter who they are. It's not enough that media emphasizes bullying but will it ever be stopped?     Please think before you speak your thoughts out loud.Even if you are just talking under your breath, people could still be offended.  I know some people that have said some hurtful words about me thinking I couldn't hear them, but I really did. However, I didn't confront the person about it cause it was no use. I was taught not to stoop down to the bullies level. I've had a hard time in life, but not like some others.    The regular human being has feelings not matter who they are. If you are hosting a yard sale, for example, you shouldn't whisper behind the customers back when they turn away and walk to their car. It's not polite ...
