Help Us Remember

Help Us Remember
As followers of Christ, we should never judge and we should never be quick to anger. Read this below as a reminder and give someone a big smile today instead :)

------

Help us to remember that the jerk who cut us off in traffic last night is a single mother who worked nine hours that day, that she is rushing home to cook dinner and help with homework, to do the laundry and spend a few precious moments with her children.

Help us to remember that the pierced, tattooed, disinterested young man who takes forever at the checkout stand, is a worried 19-year-old college student, who is balancing his apprehension over final exams with his fear of not getting his student loans for next semester.

Remind us that the scary looking bum, begging for money
in the same spot every day (who really ought to get a job!)
is a slave to addictions that we can only imagine in our worst nightmares.

Help us to remember that the old couple walking annoyingly slow
through the store aisles and blocking our shopping progress are savoring this moment, knowing that, based on the biopsy report she got back last week, this will be the last year that they go shopping together.

Let us be slow to judge and quick to forgive.
Let us show patience, empathy and love.

Open our hearts not to just those who are close to us,
but to all humanity.

Remind us each day that of all the gifts you give us,
the greatest gift is love.




I'd like to thank "TheGodVine.com "for this reminder.

1 Corinthians 10:13

"No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it." - 1 Corinthians 10:13

I am going to do as the Lord said and start looking for all the good in life. I have so much to be thankful for . My Grand children,





Although some of them and my oldest daughter live in another country , I get to see them almost every day. Thanks to the Internet.My daughter and her husband moved to another Country years ago. At first I was angry with them for leaving . But, I understand why it was done. I see them more than the ones that live here in the USA. My youngest daughter is to busy with her own life to worry about being here all the time,with her School and new boyfriend.



All parents try to teach their children by the things that went wrong in their lives so the kids don't make the same mistakes they did, and we feel guilty if we don't succeed. The truth is we must let them make the mistakes in order to grow, all we can do is guide them, teach them right from wrong and mainly about GOD. When the time comes they will turn to Him and make things right,repent. We are not God so don't judge ,let God do that. Guide them and enjoy them while you can.
I also have my health , income and a leaking roof to remind me things are not always perfect. No matter what happens in my life I look up to the Lord and thank Him a few times a day. Mostly I have a peaceful feeling . I know I am heading in the right direction. Thank You Lord.

Tis the Christmas Season!

Merry Christmas to all . I am so wondering why we picked this day to celebrate Christ's Birthday? We really don't know Jesus was born on December 25Th. From what I was just reading the pagans picked this holiday to honor the the earth.The church wanted to get people away from the pagan tradition so they started celebrating Christ's day. If I am off base please let me know.

I love the Lord God with every fiber in me and I find I need to honor God everyday. If not for Him I would have been lost a long time ago. Now I want you to know what is making me feel this way. First I look around and I see all the wrong we do . Hurting one another. Lying , stealing , cheating. swearing, raping, and homosexuality, how we use the bible to fit our own needs. How we tell little lies so we don't hurt someones feeling. well I bet their feelings will really be hurt when they find out not only you lied but that you can't be trusted either.
Today I watched a simple soap opera on T.V. and I see they are about to make one of the Young men's actors gay. I think how much good they could do by showing good things and how to lead us to good ways not show the youth how to go against the bible.I see the elder woman across the street. All she wants is for her kids to come and spend a day with her. They are so mean to her. Yelling at her. I have tried to be there for her but now I am tired. And feel so guilty.I don't want to burn in hell.Help me Lord!



I am tired of looking around and seeing the disrespect for one another in the world today. Religious leaders molesting the young.Parents Beating Gods' babies, talking to one another and using the f--- word as if saying hello. Wars in your name. How can this be a happy season . Oh God forgive me for my judgeing ways, I am trying so hard to be good and love and worship you everyday. But its so hard. My grand son who I share raising with my daughter, is going down the wrong path I can feel it. I try but I can't stop him . Please help me Lord. Help them.Show us all the way. Come back soon Lord save us.
