You know, as days go by, the time has come; the change inevitable; as in the past. To see our line of life, to watch it grow in all ways, through every stage; not knowing where it will end, only to trace back to the begining of its time. To see all that was done, in one handful, that is ones life. A very blessed and happy New Year to everyone! PTL

Life holds many surprises; some good; others better; some we'd rather not have. We really have no choice on how and when they appear; but we do have the choice on how we receive and accept them. (or maybe "allow" with no resistance). It is truly all about "attitude". Attitude can change everything for the better; absolutely everything! Now this is something to think about. Attitude is your choice; so we really do have the ultimate choice; to choose our attitude on how we see our lives and everything around us. Amazing! Just imagine this for awhile.....think about your attitude regarding your life. If there is any negative thinking in there; switch it to positive and see what happens. I am going to make a point of doing this...this is very exciting; I believe I can change my whole life; just by changing my attitude to everything positive. Praise the Lord!

Psalm 25:17 "Relieve the troubles of my heart and bring me out of my distress" When your world is troubled and you feel down remember that God is all around you know that He will help and comfort you Trust in Him is what you need to do. I offer this Psalm for all the troubled souls who are looking for something that they already have God within. PTL

Everything is always changing. How we deal with the change will be a direct reflection of our future life. If you choose to look at all change in a positive way, you will always be able to grow and learn. Don't get stuck in the resistance to change and experiencing new things; in this way you will gain more knowledge and wisdom and be able to better serve God and your purpose.

There are always changing seasons in our lives; what we do in the midst of all the change depends on our outlook, our attitude and acceptance of it. Change is good as long as you remain positive; it is an opportunity for growth. Make the most of the changes in your life by looking forward to the new as you shed the old and let go of the past. It is a wonderful time of new beginnings.

When it seems you're far from home
you don't know which step to take
your heart is cold and so alone
afraid to make a big mistake;
just reach for me, then you'll see,
there are no wrongs, but just to try;
fulfill desires of your heart
only once to find it out
to know it's right, to know it's true
it's something you just have to do.

Keep within your realm of peace
though reach for all eternity.
it's meant to be, fulfill this need
join with the passion in your soul
break all the chains that you secure
to be set free, to finally see
that who you are, is how you feel
and how you feel about who you are.

Life can be a mystery
a puzzle put together piece by piece.
As you join each piece of your life,
you have an opportunity to assist each piece into place
none to be left unfinished, until your life is through.
Each piece represents an experience,
a story of where you have been, and what you have done.

What will the picture of your life puzzle
look like when you are finished?

My grandson is in kindergarten, and he wanted to take his favorite new Christmas toy to school today; the pull string Jessie from the movie Toy Story. He has been playing with the doll(along with Woody and Buzz) nonstop since Christmas. We had to write his name on one of Jessie's boots as Andy did on Woody's boot in the movie. (Yesterday, he wore his Mom's floppy brown hat to school, because he thought he looked like Jessie and when he walked into the classroom, he took the hat off and said "yeeha, just like Jessie does!"). Well today when we walked into the classroom, his little girlfriend came up to him and gave him a great big hug, as usual, and then they began looking at his Jessie doll and playing with her. The little girl noticed his name on the bottom of one of Jessie's boots and immediately asked, "Can you put my name on the other boot, Elijah?" He shyly looked at her and said "Yes". Now here is pure, innocent, and unpretentious love; the sweet kind that is alive in childhood. I think it would be great to still remember how to love like that as adults. When I told my daughter the story of her sweet little boy, her comment was " What an example for adults to follow in relationships! You each wear a boot, so all is sharing and equal!" Love and wisdom are brought to us in many different ways throughout our lives. All you have to do is realize it.

The Lord blesses all we do, when we ask Him to.
He will bring others to you, for your light to shine;
to show them all of God's glory, through your faith in Him.
Continue to walk with Jesus, in good times and in times of trial,
in this way you will bring glory to His Name,
and you will be filled with the peace and joy
of living within God's promise that He will
always be with us.

My Lord, forgive my wrongs,
start me fresh with each new day,
release the burdens of my heart,
take away my shame.
Keep me from all harm,
be with me in each moment.
allow me to feel your presence
in Your Name I pray, dear Jesus.

Thank You, my Lord, for all my blessings. I am so blessed that you allow me to create...words...music...inspired by You, Lord. When I write, I think of You, when I sing, I sing for You; all for Your glory Lord. You fill me with Your grace, You light my way so that I can do all that You ant me to do. You fulfill Your purpose in me. I praise you Lord.

Trials are a necessary part of life to learn to trust in God. In turning to God for everything, you begin to humbly see that the human beings that we are, need God in our lives. As you come to this realization, God will allow you to see His miraculous power unveiled in your life; but only as you completely surrender to Him. The more of yourself you surrender, the more of God's power is able to come through you. It will no longer be "you", but God completing your purpose, the plan He has for you. The more trust and faith you put in God, in all things, the easier it becomes to walk daily with Him. Jesus, who walked this earth as God's true and only begotten Son, already knew this, and was able to perform miracles all the way through until the biggest miracle in which He completely surrendered to God's will of His death on the cross and resurrection from the dead. All glory to Jesus who has saved us all! Trust in Him, follow the way that he lived on earth and see all that God does through you. PTL
