First post of the New Year

   I know it is no excuse, but I have been having some esophageal spasms in my neck and shoulder since Dec. 31st, just now getting back to normal. I love life and enjoy each day as much as possible. I am going to try to write something each week. I love writing and I love to try to inspire someone else with words.  I want to be an inspiration every day that I walk and breathe.  I want to make a point to be the "Good Samaritan," and try to help make a difference.  If there is one thing I despise it is when someone is turned away from a job because of a disability, or when someone is turned away because of their, "social status," in life.  That should not be and we (and I mean myself as well) as Christians need to be more considerate of the needs of others, no matter what status in life they achieve.
  I like to be myself in public, but when it comes to treating others in  Christian manner, I try my very best not to discriminate.  It is hard to keep from glancing, or maybe even staring at someone in a wheelchair, or someone who has a broken ligament. From experience, it can be very hurtful. That person did not choose to be disabled, they did not choose that walk of life, I am sure. I am writing this post to help us become more aware of others needs and feelings. 
   If there is a child who is quadriplegic and you are at a restaurant, his family would not appreciate the extra attention.  If you have a child with ADD and he is acting crazy, do not stare! It is embarrassing enough without the extra help. Instead, just try to go on eating, like you would normally.  God loves all His Children equally and that includes, you, too!
  So in closing I want to recap on what I am saying here.  It is easy to get caught with the "deer in the headlight," stare when something is a little different, but try your best not to make comments and instead share a smile, or a warm welcome.  You never know how much that a simple word or hug could help someone.  I want to leave you with  a Scripture today as well.

 "But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors."

James 2:5 (KJV)

Terrific Tuesday

2 Peter 1King James Version (KJV) 1 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: 2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; 6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; 7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. 8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall n...

Fantastic Friday

“To make this as simple as possible, let me say it this way: justification is all about Jesus. Jesus’ work, not our works, saves us. Jesus’ life, not our own life, is our hope. Jesus’ death, not our religious works, is our payment. Jesus alone forgives sin. So, we’re to repent of our sin to Jesus. Jesus alone gives righteousness. So we trust in Jesus for our justification. Our justification is not accomplished in any part by our own work, morality, or religious devotion. Justification is accomplished by Jesus plus nothing, and Jesus plus anything ruins everything.”   Mark Driscoll “Sometimes we’re so focused on our desired blessings that we fail to stop and thank God by remembering the blessings we already have in Christ .” Mark Driscoll    Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 1 John 3:1 Prayer-- Lord, help me realize that the World d...

Ten Ways I Stay Motivated

1.  Start the day with prayer or meditation. 2. Brew a good cup of coffee. 3.  Go over my list of goals. 4.  Set new goals ones the old ones are accomplished. 5.  Listen to motivational podcasts or youtube videos. 6.  Read biographies of people who have survived cancer or some amazing trauma.  This helps to remind me that no problem is too big for God. 7.  I try to look in the mirror and say affirmations every morning.  Some of these affirmations are the same ones and some are different.  8. Try to keep a good, constant routine. 9.  Write or draw in my journal. 10.  Reward myself for accomplishments.  After all, you deserve it. Hope you have a wonderful week !!
