Another note from GodsVine

Your Angel; Once upon a time there was a child ready to be born. So one day he asked God: "They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?" God replied, "Among the many angels, I chose one for you. She will be waiting for you and will take care of you." "But tell me, here in Heaven, I don't do anything else but sing and smile, that's enough for me to be happy." "Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you every day. And you will feel your angel's love and be happy." "And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me, if I don't know the language that men talk?" "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak." "And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?" "Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray." "I've heard that on earth there are bad men. Who will protect me?" "Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life." "But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore." "Your angel will always talk to you about me and will teach you the way for you to come back to me, even though I will always be next to you." At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from earth could already be heard, and the child in a hurry asked softly: "Oh God, if I am about to leave now, please tell me my angel's name." "Your angel's name is of no importance, but you will call your angel this: Mommy." ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Now who can have a abortion? You want someone to love and here they are. How much I regret having an abortion , When I think back it hurts so much. God forgive me. ------------------------------------------------------------------

Internet Postings on my blog.

Wow , what a trip I took trying to find out how to post on here! There has to be a easier way to get information about up dates.

It's Just me!

Well I feel safe enough, I can write what I feel . No one ever reads my blog so I am going to use it as my stepping stone.I am very sad and tired of life the way it is today. I tried to keep in touch with my family because I made the choice to move away from New York where they all live. I have been gone about 39 years but returned a lot of times to visit a lot. I'd call on holidays, birthdays and very rarely ever received from them the same . But that's OK, I will live with it. Just sadness,Then the computer came along and I thought they all have computers so I tried to contact them using MSN, when they said they could not get it to work I added yahoo and still I only hear from them on occasion. I tried. When my Husband died on 8/26/1999 , my sister Carole and brother Dan came to the funeral.We spent a minute together. God Bless them,Carole went back because her back hurt really bad. And Dan and his wife spent one night. I was very glad and thankful to see them all. When my mother died on 9/1/2001 I was there we spent a little time together. When my Dad died on 1/24/2002 , again my brother Dan came I think. Things were very lonesome I can't seem to remember to much. I was sad I didn't see my sister Red at Ed's or Dad's funeral But that's the way it goes. Well, its been 11 years and I miss them a lot but if they are happy so be it. God bless you all . Now My kids , I have two daughters left. Kel who lives in England, I talk to HER just about every day. Barb who lives across the street I talk to as she need something. A sitter or some one to listen to her troubles, She speaks to me with such hatred and I don't know why. I pray for her and of coarse Kelly and their family's everyday. Maybe Kelly and I get along so good because she is 3000 miles away. I don't know but what I did do to Barb? I don't know, all I know is when I talk to her or her son all I can think about is the bible. The disrespect they give me is over welmimg. It makes me so sad. Now the worst , when I look at America I see no relief . How , saying Gods name in vain is an every event action ,how the use of a four or five letter word is used to say hello.( How the f--- or hay B----, whats up) the T.V. has everything on it sex , nudity, Homosexuality, murder every sin know to man.It makes me sad. How we have kicked God out of America is like (God here, "you are destroy yourselfs"). Is that what we are saying ? WHY DON'T GOD FEARING PEOPLE STAND UP AND SAY ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. WE NEED A GOD FEARING PRESIDENT TO LEAD US AND FOR US NOT TO HANG HIM OUT THERE ALONE. Stand BY GOD , STAND BY A GOD FEARING PRESIDENT. SOMEONE SPEAK UP BEFORE IT IS TO LATE. PLEASE MAKE ME HAPPY AGAIN BRING GOD BACK IN OUR LIVES. All of Americans that believe in God Stand up the non beleivers did and now God is out.

Lets make God happy and repent. Ok , I know I wrote no one ever reads my posts but I do pray someone reads this one and passes it around. God help us . Give us a chance.I know you are tired of us. but there are many Good people out here, save us please

Way Back When

Do any of you remember when you went shopping and bought the food for the house, it was so cheap. But not only that, it was good. Today we went to the market and shopped. I bought a package of 2 1/2 Pounds of beef to make chili and a few burgers , that is after dividing it up but I saw how much fat there was in the burger. So I decided to fry it all up and get the fat out. There was over a cup of fat, When I emptied it. I finished cooking it and there was more fat.
Now with the FDA on top of all these things you know with the restaurants and after all our health should be the bottom line, one would think they would make them put a warning sign on all products. But I really never remembered hamburger being that fat.
Or should I say that much fat being in it, where you can't get it off your hands.Oh well maybe I am crazy. Well just thought I would check and see if anyone else remembers.

If I Were the Devil

Another from the God vine I found interesting, no wonder catch the name at the bottom. God Bless and have a wonderful Day , than Thank God for giving it to you. If your day went wrong ask the Lord for help . He loves us !




If I Were the Devil
Reading this really makes you reflect on the current way things are in the world. Let's always keep Jesus in our decisions to help back against the devil.

------

If I were the Devil I would gain control of the most powerful nation in the world;

I would delude their minds into thinking that they had come from man's effort, instead of God's blessings;

I would promote an attitude of loving things and using people, instead of the other way around;

I would dupe entire states into relying on gambling for their state revenue;

I would convince people that character is not an issue when it comes to leadership;

I would make it legal to take the life of unborn babies;

I would make it socially acceptable to take one's own life, and invent machines to make it convenient;

I would cheapen human life as much as possible so that the life of animals are valued more than human beings;

I would take God out of the schools, where even the mention of His name was grounds for a law suit;

I would come up with drugs that sedate the mind and target the young;

I would get sports heroes to take on the job to advertise them;

I would get control of the media, so that every night I could pollute the mind of every family, the backbone of any nation;

I would make divorce acceptable and easy, even fashionable.....If the family crumbles, so does the nation;

I would compel people to express their most depraved fantasies on canvas and movie screens, and I would call it art;

I would try to convince the people that right and wrong are determined by a few who call themselves authorities and refer to their agenda as politically correct;

I would persuade people that the church is irrelevant and out of date, and the Bible is for the naive;

I would dull the minds of Christians, and make them believe that prayer is not important, and that faithfulness and obedience are optional;

I guess I would leave things pretty much the way they are.

Paul Harvey.............Good Day.

Beautiful Blessings

Hi I am back and I want to share with you yet another story from the GodVine.com
It is so true how the children can open our eyes. Try reading the stories from the Godvine.com sometime I really think you will enjoy it. I know I learn a lot from my grandchildren It's when the little one get older that it is hard to understand them and vs-a- verse . Just try to keep your patients. Show lots of love and keep trying. I know I ask the Lord to show me or teach me patients everyday I will learn I am sure the Holy Spirit will show me.
While on the subject of the Holy Spirit try reading a book called "The Shack" By WM. Paul Young so good and thanks Godvine for passing on your news letters.And now the Story:







Beautiful Blessings:
One day a very wealthy father took his son to a very humble farm home. The father wanted the son to see and appreciate everything they have because the the son was never near poverty. The father decided to spend one day and one night with his son at this very humble home. On the next day after spending the night and returning to their beautiful mansion, the father wanted to hear his son's reaction towards the educating trip.

Father: So son what do you think about the trip. Did you see how poor people live?

Son: Yes, father.

Father: What do you think? What have you learn from this trip?

Son: I have learned that they have four dogs and we only have one. I have learned that we have a small garden and they have an entire forest. I have learned that we have a small stream on our back yard and they have a full river that has no end. I have learned that our back yard goes to the end of our property and they have an entire horizon. I have learned that we have lamps on our back yard to keep us from the dark and they have the stars.

The son continues his reply and said: Thank you father for showing me how poor we really are.



We sometimes don't realize the TRUE blessings we receive from our Heavenly Father because we're blinded by material things and what society deems to be worthy. Remember that true riches aren't what we have, it's Who we have. And we have Jesus. :)

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.

The Price (and Reward) of Raising Kids

Hi it's been a long time, With the holidays coming along I want to share something I read. It is so nice, enjoy. I did.


The Price (and Reward) of Raising Kids
This is just too good not to pass on to all. Here is something absolutely positive for a change. I have repeatedly seen the breakdown of the cost of raising a child, but this is the first time I have seen the rewards listed this way. It's nice.

The government recently calculated the cost of raising a child from birth to 18 and came up with $160,140.00 for a middle income family. Talk about price shock! That doesn't even touch college tuition.

But $160,140.00 isn't so bad if you break it down. It translates into:

* $8,896.66 a year,
* $741.38 a month,
* $171.08 a week.
* A mere $24.24 a day!
Just over a dollar an hour.

Still, you might think the best financial advice is; don't have children if you want to be 'rich.' Actually, it is just the opposite.

What do you get for your $160,140.00?

* Naming rights . First, middle, and last!
* Glimpses of God every day.
* Giggles under the covers every night.
* More love than your heart can hold.
* Butterfly kisses and Velcro hugs..
* Endless wonder over rocks, ants, clouds, and warm cookies.
* A hand to hold usually covered with jelly or chocolate.
* A partner for blowing bubbles and flying kites.
* Someone to laugh yourself silly with, no matter what the boss said or how your stocks performed that day.

For $160,140.00, you never have to grow up. You get to:

* finger-paint,
* carve pumpkins,
* play hide-and-seek,
* catch lightning bugs,
* never stop believing in Santa Claus.
You have an excuse to:
* keep reading the Adventures of Piglet and Pooh,
* watch Saturday morning cartoons,
* go to Disney movies, and
* wish on stars.

You get to frame rainbows, hearts, and flowers under refrigerator magnets and collect spray painted noodle wreaths for Christmas, hand prints set in clay for Mother's Day, and cards with backward letters for Father's Day .

For a mere $24.24 a day, there is no greater bang for your buck. You get to be a hero just for:

* retrieving a Frisbee off the garage roof,
* taking the training wheels off a bike,
* removing a splinter,
* filling a wading pool ,
* coaxing a wad of gum out of bangs, and
* coaching a baseball team that never wins but always gets treated to ice cream regardless.
You get a front row seat in history to witness the:
* First step,
* First word,
* First bra,
* First date,
* First time behind the wheel.

You get to be immortal. You get another branch added to your family tree, and if you're lucky, a long list of limbs in your obituary called grandchildren and great grandchildren. You get an education in psychology, nursing, criminal justice, communications, and human sexuality that no college can match..

In the eyes of a child, you rank right up there under God. You have all the power to heal a boo-boo, scare away the monsters under the bed, patch a broken heart, police a slumber party, ground them forever, and love them without limits, so one day they will, like you, love without counting the cost. That is quite a deal for the price!

Love & enjoy your children & grandchildren & great-grandchildren!

It's the best investment you'll ever make!


So the best gift ever given to you is from our Father in heaven, A child.Pray everyday for that child to walk Jesus's walk be kind, to pray and believe!

Remember we are all Gods' children no matter how old we get!

Another day

Well, another beautiful day..... a........ no its not, we were told we would have sunshine today. Where is it? All I can see are clouds , it looks like one continuous cloud. Oh well the rain was needed to bring on those beautiful colors. The rusts , oranges , yellows and different color greens , which happen to be my granddaughters favorite color, green, mine to for that matter. I love this time of year. Autum and spring. The seasons are wonderful. Not to hot nor to cold. Just right. You have to love the The north all should experience it. I am going to post some pic's have a look and let me know what you think.

God has such a beautiful eye. Each and everyone of us can see and believe in his beauty. Just say the majic words "I Believe in you Jesus" and Believe!

I can't wait to fill old clothing with leaves and make a scare crow or warm hot apple cider. wow sounds great A. I love it . Thank you Lord

All I can say is Wow!

All I can say is Wow, You go Mister Buffett if only more people thought your way. Not only the rich but all. If President Obama ,Senate and congress don't want to Tax the rich then I say open an account and donate money to pay on the the debt. Only someone who is smart can do this. Lots of brains are needed here.
Wake up America can't you feel the Lord is getting angry with all of us . This country has always been rich. America , Canada and Great Britten and Austria. Have always been blessed. But we stopped seeing what it means to tithe. To tithe is to give 10% of what you have. Or if you simply can't do that then donate your time in helping the church or the elderly, something. Almost none of us do that. A lot of us were so selfish we made bills to get what we wanted not only what we needed but what we wanted. For this I am sorry. I had to file bankruptcy. And I am ashamed of myself. I made the price of thing go up as did all of us that charge things we really did not need,and were in unions. We demanded more pay . The better work environment was needed. But we voted our self out of jobs.Do you understand what I am saying. It is time to step up to the plate and save America and hopefully the others (Canada and Great Britten and Austria) will follow . I am not smart enough to do what I have suggested. The bank thing . But the rich can figure out who is and can be trusted.
Now the other part of this page. I know that there are people who are struggling out there, trying to find work and make as much money as you use to, but until that time comes,Take what ever comes your way MC Donald's, Burger King, Toco Bell what ever. Mostly PRAY TO GOD! he loves you. The problem is do you love him? At church I hardly see any youth. Who is teaching Gods rules to these young ones what chance will they have as they grow up? Are you going to wait till God says It IS TIME TO PAY FOR YOUR SINS. Are you really willing to go to hell and burn for ever?
Satan has done enough damage we gave him the power. We need to take it back and give our souls to the LORD! God vs Satan I know who will win . I pray you do to. God Bless America!!!!!!

Myths and Facts About the Debt-Ceiling Compromise

I am very sorry but I don't speak any language except English , If you want your comments published Please say so. I don't want to get anyone in trouble. Thanks for your understanding.

For those that don't want to go and read the web sight them selves, here you go, And for those that do here you go: http://money.msn.com/credit-rating/escape-from-the-great-debt-trap-bloomberg.aspx?gt1=33001

Myth: President Obama caved.

Fact: President Obama laid out key priorities that had to be part of any deal. Those priorities are reflected in this compromise. First, we avoided default which would have plunged the economy into a deep recession, imperiling the well-being of millions of Americans. Second, the initial down payment on deficit reductions does not cut low-income and safety-net programs such as Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. Third, we set up a path forward that will put pressure on Congress to adopt a balanced approach. And finally, we raised the debt ceiling until 2013, ensuring that House Republicans could not use the threat of default in just a few months to force severe cuts in Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.

Myth: Republicans got everything they wanted

Fact: They won’t admit it publicly, but when push came to shove, Republicans backed down on their key demands. For months, Republicans called for a budget that would have ended Medicare as we know it, made catastrophic cuts to Medicaid, or cut investments in education by 25 percent, clean energy by 70 percent and infrastructure spending by 30 percent. As if that wasn’t enough, they also demanded that we repeat this debt-ceiling crisis, just a few months from now.

None of these of these demands made it into a final deal.

Myth: This deal cuts Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security.

Fact: There are no changes to these programs included in the initial phase of this agreement. In the second phase of the agreement, everything will be on the table – and the President has made clear that the committee must pursue a balanced approach where reforms to programs like Medicaid, Social Security or Medicare would only be acceptable if coupled with higher revenues from the most fortunate.

Myth: This deal reduces the deficit entirely on the backs of the middle class.

Fact: While the initial down payment on deficit reduction - about $1 trillion – will require belt-tightening, it still will allow us to invest in the programs and priorities we care about most. Moreover, hundreds of billions of this initial round of cuts will come from security spending.

As we negotiated the domestic side of the cuts, we protected our historic new investments in Pell Grants as part of the down payment. For the second phase, we made sure that programs for the most vulnerable, like food stamps, Medicaid and the Earned Income Tax Credit, would not be hit by the “trigger,” the automatic cuts that will go into place if Congress does not find an acceptable compromise.

Myth: The joint committee -- the so-called "super committee" -- makes it easier for Congress to cut the programs we care about.

Fact: The joint committee system puts pressure on Republicans to seek compromise. As we all know, in this round of deficit reduction, there wasn’t a lot of leverage bringing Republicans to the table. In round two, that changes.

If Republicans aren't willing to compromise, then the joint committee will fail. This would automatically trigger an additional $1.2 trillion in deficit reduction designed to be painful for both sides, with half that coming from savings in the defense budget.

Myth: Since we weren’t able to raise revenues right now, we won’t be able to raise revenues in the future.

Fact: The deal lays out two paths for further reducing our deficit. Both of them include revenues. Option one is for the joint committee to develop a plan that is passed by both Houses of Congress, and signed by President Obama. The President has already said that he will only support a balanced approach involving shared sacrifice. That means raising revenue through steps such as closing loopholes for corporations, reforming our tax code, and asking millionaires and billionaires to pay their fair share in taxes.

A Letter to our Leaders

"We’ve got to rein in the deficit to put our economy on stronger footing and ensure that seniors and middle-class families aren’t bearing the entire burden when millionaires and billionaires, oil companies, hedge fund managers and corporate jet owners are let off the hook.
It comes down to this. You shouldn't need to have lobbyists on the payroll to have your voice heard in Washington. And in your financial dealings, you deserve a basic measure of protection against abuse. You should have the freedom to buy a home or open a credit card or take out a student loan with confidence that you’re getting a fair deal."
As always I hear a lot of words from Washington but nothing is ever done! So I decided to help out. Here are a few suggestions.

Social Security reform;
1) any one on drugs collecting SSI will be given 1 year to clean up their act. No more than one year. If they choose to continue taking drugs then they will foot the bill them self's. If they have children , the children will be taken away and placed with child services.To be raised by a druggie is creating another druggie, it is child abuse.No more free money.
2)Social security was not meant for a retirement program, but seems it has turned into one. Fine you work, you pay and you collect. But a spouse can not also collect while the other spouse is alive ( if you earned $1500.00 in S.S. a month that is what your family gets not when your wife hit 62 she also get $900. It is not our fault she decided not to work .That is not fair) and If that spouse passes on the remaining spouse should collect the funds only up to the amount that the spouse collected o S.S. and that's including the the kids. No separate funds till the kids reach a certain age.If the spouse that is alive is able to work and support the kids and is to be able to earn enough money 100% the low income for as many family members in the household nothing is needed to be given . If the spouse is left with little income then only then is money to be given. What as it stands now ( say a dad passes away each of the kids collects around $900.00 Bucks well no more maybe $900.00 for 2 Kids $1200. for three, etc.) And Only till they are Eighteen.
I said it before open up hospitals for the seniors .The young learn from them, Let them help in the senior hospitals and schools. That would be helping the old and the young.


Now some ways to collect revenue:
1) Loop hole need to be closed On the millionaires and billionaires. My Goodness how much money do they need. The eye of the needle is so small a camel will never get through it. There will be no place in Heaven for them.Greed a major no no.

2)I don't want to single out the oil companies but I have no choice No more tax breaks.Stop catering to these co. Start local trains To go from town to town to pick up locals . Then the cars don't have to be using up all the oil.

3) Stop hedge fund managers and corporate jet owners need to be taken care of I am a laymen given enough time I could come up with something maybe a new tax.

4) I am not going to stop there Senators , congressmen and Lobbyists need to take a pay cut after all the seniors have not even had a raise in two years.Our bills need to be paid also.I would say 10-15% would be fair. No more first class jet or plane rides no more write offs for lunches. I never got paid for lunch.

Lets also look at the youth today I can see if they break the law public caning should be considered maybe the next kid will think twice. Stop coddling the people in prison, their there for a reason. OK.


Well here are just a few ideas. Try them. May God show each one of us what to do. Won't you please write your Washington leaders try to give some input. After all this is our country.

A picture says a Thousand words!

Hi, Just a few lines to show you a picture of the sky here in Ohio, About two weeks ago we had one hell of a storm. The sky was fierce. With the heat wave and the rain pouring down , I thought something was going to happen. Don't think I'm crazy but the clouds have looked a lot like the Devil himself. With the times such as they are, maybe he is really getting ready for tribulations. I hope we are ready. Take a look at this picture . You tell me what you see.

Spirtual Growth

Have you ever read the bible and come across a parable and not understood what the meaning was? So you might give it a lot of thought, and you are really not sure. Well I believe what God wanted you to do is get together with your friends and family hear what they think it meant. Then ask your religious leader what it meant. Keep The Lords word alive. Pray alone or in a group. It does not matter ,do both. Spreading the joy is what matters.

Matthew 23: 1-23 gives both the parable and the meaning. Oh how easy it would be to understand the bible if they all were easy. But if all were easy would we have a chance to be saved? Christ's life was not easy. But everyday He went out and talked among His people and believe me I don't think all were His followers , at least when they started listening. Many walked away and didn't listen at all; only listened to see if they could charge Him with something. But thank God many did listen and we have his word today.

In Matthew this is what is said..... I won't go over the whole chapter, you really need to read for yourself. ......."

3	And he told them many things in parables, saying: "A sower went out to sow.
4	And as he sowed, some seeds fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured them.
5	Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they had not much soil, and immediately they sprang up, since they had no depth of soil,
6	but when the sun rose they were scorched; and since they had no root they withered away.
7	Other seeds fell upon thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them.
8	Other seeds fell on good soil and brought forth grain, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
9	He who has ears, let him hear." 18 "Hear then the parable of the sower. 19 When any one hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what is sown in his heart; this is what was sown along the path. 20 As for what was sown on rocky ground, this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy; 21 yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while, and when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately he falls away. 22 As for what was sown among thorns, this is he who hears the word, but the cares of the world and the delight in riches choke the word, and it proves unfruitful. 23 As for what was sown on good soil, this is he who hears the word and understands it; he indeed bears fruit, and yields, in one case a hundredfold, in another sixty, and in another thirty." Now ask your self which seed are you? Line 4 goes with line 19, Lines 4 & 6 the meaning is in lines 20 and 21 , Line 7 The meaning is in line 22 and lastly , Line 8 and 23 go together. Now I'm going to say I am a weak person but I pray all the time that God gives me strength to be like line 8 and 23 . And I pray every day that all my brothers and sisters are like lines 8 and 23. God Bless and read your bible every day, that's were you will find strength.

Hay, Warning, Warning Warning

I came across this while reading and thought I was reading about America. The land that I love .No, I knew what I was reading about. Read on:

Hear the word of the Lord, O people of Israel!
The Lord has brought charges against you, saying:
“There is no faithfulness, no kindness,
no knowledge of God in your land.
You make vows and break them;
you kill and steal and commit adultery.
There is violence everywhere—
one murder after another.
That is why your land is in mourning,
and everyone is wasting away.
Even the wild animals, the birds of the sky,
and the fish of the sea are disappearing.

Yes it is the beginning of :Hosea 4 in the bible. Read the rest here:

I so much feel lost about this . There are so many people who believe in God but do not stand up to be counted. That Have allowed God to be taken out of schools, Off building, off the money and more places then I even know about. Parents that do not teach their children the commandments Or take /send them to church. In today's times its ' more like "buy them another game and they will be out of our way for a while. " No one wants to teach our children boundary's. Everyone lets and teaches the children more sin. Like drinking, smoking,smoking pot, or telling a little white line. Tell them the truth so they learn to tell the truth.Then we wonder what happen.Do not set the bad examples , set good ones they learn from us.Please let God know you love him , help his children to find their way. Take them to church , teach them about God and family. I remember my mom , every weekend we would just go for rides in the country and sing song. ( The Bible tells me so) ha hah or we would go to the beach. All free things Then . but it was fun and we were together listening to the stories . You learn so much from the history of your Mom and Dads.Turn this country around. I don't blame God if he is turning his back on us. We say we believe but make excuses to sin. We must change things , we must show our Love for the Lord. Write your congress men and senators and tell them you want God back in this whole country. You want the right to spank your child if needed. Use you amendment right, speak up for God. After all some one did speak up to remove God from this country. Now it is our turn.

In an E-mail I received.

Our 14-year-old dog Abbey died last month. The day after she passed away my 4-year-old daughter Meredith was crying and talking about how much she missed Abbey. She asked if we could write a letter to God so that when Abbey got to heaven, God would recognize her. I told her that I thought we could so, and she dictated these words: Dear God, Will you please take care of my dog? She died yesterday and is with you in heaven. I miss her very much. I am happy that you let me have her as my dog even though she got sick. I hope you will play with her. She likes to swim and play with balls. I am sending a picture of her so when you see her you will know that she is my dog. I really miss her. Love, Meredith We put the letter in an envelope with a picture of Abbey and Meredith and addressed it to God/Heaven. We put our return address on it. Then Meredith pasted several stamps on the front of the envelope because she said it would take lots of stamps to get the letter all the way to heaven. That afternoon she dropped it into the letter box at the post office. A few days later, she asked if God had gotten the letter yet. I told her that I thought He had. Yesterday, there was a package wrapped in gold paper on our front porch addressed, 'To Meredith' in an unfamiliar hand. Meredith opened it. Inside was a book by Mr. Rogers called, 'When a Pet Dies.' Taped to the inside front cover was the letter we had written to God in its opened envelope. On the opposite page was the picture of Abbey & Meredith and this note: Dear Meredith, Abbey arrived safely in heaven. Having the picture was a big help and I recognized her right away. Abbey isn't sick anymore. Her spirit is here with me just like it stays in your heart. Abbey loved being your dog. Since we don't need our bodies in heaven, I don't have any pockets to keep your picture in so I am sending it back to you in this little book for you to keep and have something to remember Abbey by. Thank you for the beautiful letter and thank your mother for helping you write it and sending it to me. What a wonderful mother you have. I picked her especially for you. I send my blessings every day and remember that I love you very much. By the way, I'm easy to find. I am wherever there is love. Love, God Such a loving Mother to teach her daughter about God . So many Parents don't bother. I wonder if God will will think about them On judgement day?

A Reason, a Season, or a Lifetime

I receive e-mails from GodVine.com and would like to share with one of them with you. So read on, so inspirational:
People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. When you figure out which one it is, you will know what to do for each person.

When someone is in your life for a REASON . . . It is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally, or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend, and they are! They are there for the reason you need them to be.

Then, without any wrong doing on your part, or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.

Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.

What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered. And now it is time to move on.

When people come into your life for a SEASON . . . Because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn. They bring you an experience of peace, or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it! It is real! But, only for a season.

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons; things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person, and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

I hope you have understanding of this message, I do!

How I feel !!!!
