PRECIOUS MOMENTS

Precious Moments. Have you ever looked at times in your life that really pleased you? Like when as child is born, when you first fell in love, or when you received your first flowers from someone that was so special you even cried when they were delivered. How about that first kiss?

         These are all precious moments in time that we don’t want to forget. We keep those moments locked away for a time in our lives when we need a pick me up. Yes we pull those memories up to somehow cheer us up. Or when we reach our golden years to think back on the times we experienced good times.

           We hope, dream, and experience good and bad times, but the bad times we push away and try not to think about. If they were really bad our memories banks seem to bury them so we can’t remember how bad they really were.

             I’ve had some really bad times, but the good times our weigh the bad. Now that I’m getting into what they say are my golden years, I look back at the good, the bad and the ugly. I hope and prayer the golden years don’t take my memories away. I want to be able to pull those precious memories up when I’m feeling blue.

              So remember when you are sad, pull those precious memories up and smile as you think back and smile. Keep those precious moments close to your heart.

MAY GOD BLESS!

WISHES, PROMISES, PRAYER!

WISHES, PROMISES AND PRAYER!

Let’s start with WISHES. When we are children we wish for so many things, like a new doll, or new bicycle, maybe a new catchers mitt. When we become a teenager, we wish for more flexability in our lives, to stay out later, have a girlfriend or boyfriend, have the best looking person in school ask us out. Now into our adult years we wish for a husband or wife, a child to love and watch grow. We wish for them to have a healthy life. And now you get the jest of wishes.

            But wait, what about the times you said something to someone that you WISHED you hadn’t said. Once you have said it, you can’t take it back. You come down with a fatal disease, you wish it hadn’t happened but now you have to deal with it, wishing it to go away doesn’t always work. Maybe you saw someone but never a said a word to this person. Now you wished you had said hello. Took the time to stop them and talked just a few minutes.

            PROMISES, have you made a promise lately? Has someone promised you something but didn’t follow through? Promises like when you marry, you make promises in your vows to love, honor, and cherish. How many times have you seen this promise go down the drain. How about when you were a child, you did something wrong? You promised your mom or dad you would never do it again. Did you keep that promise, or did it fall to the wayside also.

            We all make promises and I’d like to think we all keep our promises no matter how hard it might be. Promises shouldn’t be given out lightly for the breaking of a promise can be devastating to the person we made that promise too. Think the next time you are making a promise, is it something you really can keep? DON’T make a promise unless you really can follow through and keep that promise.

            PRAYER, we all have prayed for something one time or another. Only to be disappointed in our minds those prayers, never answered. Are you sure they weren’t answered? Maybe it just wasn’t the right time for those prayers to be answered. I know how impatient human beings are, I’m right with you. I prayer for answers to many questions and when I don’t get an immediate response I think maybe he didn’t hear me.

            So the next time your child wishes for something, or you, be patient. Next time you make a promise, make sure you keep it, unless there is no way you can keep it. Prayer? Don’t give up, sometimes it takes a while for a prayer to be answered. It depends on if the time is right for those prayers to be answered. Sometimes it is answered in a different way then we are expecting.

Talk to you next week, but I’m not promising!

MAY GOD BLESS!

MOTHERS' DAY

Mothers Day. What does it mean to you? Whether you ae a mother or a child, this is a time to reflect at the times and years which you look back at your life.

Think back when your mother held your hand when you were out in a store.  When you learnt how to ride a bike, she stood by your side and ran along side to make sure you didn’t fall.

When you did fall she cleaned your skinned knee and put that special bandaid on it.

When you started o school, she wept as you walked into school that first time. How about when you had your first school dance, she made sure you were dressed to look like a million, taking pictures for the family album.

Then graduation, she wept again, seeing you now as an adult ready for the world. Whether it was on to a college or moving out to your apartment to stand on your own.

How about when you had that steady special someone? A wedding in the close future. Then comes the grandchildren whom your mother has explain it is her job to spoil them rotten.

Yes it’s Mother Day and a time to give her a great big hug and a kiss on both cheeks. Your mother is special. Treat her to this day and every day for she gave you life.

MAY GOD BLESS!

Choices

Choices, we all make choices everyday in our lives. For example, we chose to get up in the morning or sleep in. We decide what we are going to wear. Who, we are going to call, or who we plan on seeing.

            Our decisions not only affect us but others too. Everyday and everyone we speak to not only affects them, and us but several others in the course of a day. Whether it is a small decision or a large one, our brain has to correlate or compute what we are going to say, do, and or react too.

            Each movement our bodies make is also a choice we make. Sitting, standing, walking, running or laying down. Whether we are aware of our brains making that choice, we are doing it without thinking we are still making that choice.

            Many things we do each day requires us to put on our thinking caps, but there are so many things that rule our day we are unaware of. These things just come natural to us and we do them we think without thinking.

            The next time you pour yourself a cup of coffee or brew a pot of tea, stop and think about it. This is a conscious thought that you have choose to do. Some decisions take longer to make and others take no time at all.

            
             I could go into more detail about the choices we make on a daily basis, monthly, yearly, but then you would have to reflect on the choices you have made in the past. Always remember, it's the choices you make today and in the future. The choices you have made in the past you can not change, but the choices you make today and for tomorrow you can change.

                                                            MAY GOD BLESS!
