Do we live to do or to be?

Thought:

I am not so much made up of the doing that I forget to be.

The times I remember that stick with me are not those that we went to do something, but that we were just there being who we were.

Be that

fighting,

yelling,

quietness,

crying,

laughing,

watching a fire in silence,

walking in the woods,

Some of the time I remember what we were doing but most of the time I find I feel the memory of being with the person that made the activity.

So does this work in all things? Yes we need to do things, Work, Church stuff, family stuff, etc.... Yet to excel should we not strive to just BE!

Be a man of our word

Be a peacemaker

Be a lover

Be a friend

Be a person of hope

Be a person that is at peace

Be one that gives

Be a world changer

Be a child of God(This is the gift Jesus gave)

So what make Being so hard? Why does the world try to kill the ones that try to Be instead of the busy one that makes useless noise?

SO TODAY I CHOOSE TO BE!

Thank you father for the gift of just being your child.

Just a thought............

And someone said out goes the light

The Rise of Pain....

I am making a note on Headaches. I hate them....I mean I wish I could see them boil in oil...(Those that know me understand I do not use the term hate lightly) Pain starts with a hint and boils up to where you can't stand light/sound/movement....The colors can be nice if you could just ignore the pain that comes with them. I am not complaining I am just upset...Pain I Just have to rely on God to just remove it. I do thank God for the hands that made meds that help I just want the pain to stop.

If anyone else is under the plauge that is pain, I am praying for you that God will cover you in peace and restoration.

My friends God is bigger that the pain and bigger than the way I think.

Well I did not mean to forget.....

I ask your forgiveness if by my lack of updates has this place become cold and dark.

Time seems to slip away and so does my mind.

As to the rest of life we are still living under the mercy of Christ and that is all that counts. I am thankful that I do not have to claim that I am the way to anything, yet I get to see how God works around me.

In the little things.....

The smile my son has when I come home,

The glow my wife has when she sees something that warms her heart,

The rain on my head then the sun to dry it,

The sound of a call to sit and rest at the feet of my God,

The sweet scent of flowers in the air or the strong oder of pine, both are welcomed.

When and Idea is more that just a thought yet is still a dream.

All of these and much more give reason, rhythm and rhyme to my life.

I just want to say thank you to my God and the giver of more than I can dream of. Jesus Christ,

(JEHOVAH-JIREH, JEHOVAH-NISSI, EL ELYON, YESHUA)

Too many.....

In all things I have to remember to not want too much. I want it all and I want it NOW... But if I can keep in the forefront of my mind that I get what i need then I should be good with that!

This little note from our sponsors..............

Give me a path to follow....

I think that everyone works better if you know where you are going. A clear defined path/goal/dream etc..... I have goals for my personal life, work, Spiritual, health. Etc.... What I don't see around me is people talking about theirs. This is not new it seems to be over the last 5-7 years People don't say I will do this or that but that maybe or i might do this. Can we just make our YES yes and NO no. Please.

And now for something stupid yet funny.....
