Daddy thank you for your peace!

Peace is not the absence of trouble ; it is being calm within the storm 

Peace starts with forgiveness - & love of oneself and others 

My Peace I give unto you;not as the works gives-

This is peace that passes all understanding...

Many times people may wonder how peaceful you are about situations that would warrant disturbance... That's exactly the power of  the  peace of God within you!

Sometimes you are required to make tough decisions or endure difficult circumstances of life...

Just how do you pull through? Day after day? With every sunrise and even sunset ? From dawn to dusk? Without wishing the days would race by?During or after a storm, a tragedy or an unforeseen hurdle? It is the peace of God that passes all understanding! Thank you daddy for this peace that calms our hearts when life gets to a fearful bend! What blessed reassurance ! we are forever thankful! May peace , your peace prevail in your whole wide world!

Weathering the Storm~:))))

Life is a fight 

Life is for the living 

Life presents itself in many different shades

Life has seasons....

The real deal with life~ where the rubber meets the road

Is learning to weather the storms of life 

Learning to dance in the rain and not waiting for the storm to pass~

No one is entitled to anything in life 

It's not a guarantee...

Good things happens and bad things happen too~

It's easy to deal with good things ~ the real challenge is dealing with storms... The bad things ~

Rather than being a statement of resignation and give in...you can choose to view the circumstance as a battle - as an opportunity to get better and therefore strive to overcome the challenge 

Unleash your resilience virtue and fight on till the last lap~

Do not give up- do not give in~

Strive to see clearly after the cloud has passed and look beyond to see the Rainbow!

That's how life is lived ~because it comes in different shades and we must learn to weather the storm and move on ~ do not get paralyzed in one season of life 

Weather the storm~pick yourself up and live life .... For life is for the living!-:)))

Mothers Day 

by Carol Matthews

A Mother loves right from the start.

She holds her baby close to her heart.

The bond that grows will never falte

Her love is so strong it will never alter.

A Mother gives never ending Love.

She never feels that she has given enough.

For you she will always do her best.

Constantly working, there's no time to rest.

A Mother is there when things go wrong.

A hug and a kiss to help us along.

Always there when we need her near.

Gently wipes our eyes when we shed a tear.

So on this day shower your Mother with Love.

Gifts and presents are nice but that is not enough.

Give your Mother a day to have some peace of mind.

Be gentle, be good, be helpful, be kind.

Happy Mothers Day. 

Safe in the shepherd's arms...:)

The 23rd psalm is all about trust in God... 

The 23rd psalm reminds us of who God is...

The 23rd psalm reminds us that God is unchanging, uncaused and ungoverned...

change is constant... Days, health, weather, relationships etc change but God is a constant...

his love , his convictions, his mood, his plan is constant- God is our constant when everything else around us is changing...

Though God creates ... He was not created...

Though he makes...He was not made...

Though he caused....He was not caused...

Our God does not check the weather...He makes it...

Our God doesn't defy gravity...He created it...

Our God is not affected by health...He has no body...

Our God is omnipresent in all places in all times in all circumstances ....

God calms the storms and winds with a single word...He stills the storm~

Our God defeated the grave...as philosophers debate the meaning of life... He declares the meaning of life

Our God placed a zillion stars in the galaxy and a zillion galaxies and constellations in the universe

Our God of wonder puts billions of nerve cells together in a skull and calls it a brain~

And yes that's out shepherd who can visit you any time of day or night and calm you with a tenderness only Him can ...that's Our Shepherd~

Just think how special you are...:)))

Just think...

You're here not by chance ,

But by God's choosing.

His hand formed you and made you

The person you are.

He compares you to no one else~

You are one of a kind.

You lack nothing

That his grace can't give you

He has allowed you to be here 

At this time in history

To fulfill his special purpose

For this generation 

To every thing there's a season and a time to every purpose  under the heaven~Ecc. 3:1
