BELIEF

I have a firm belief in who I am. I am not sure totally what God has in mind for me but I imagine it to be great. And why not I mean, I express Joy at every turn. I was about to say moment when I remebered I just mentioned the name God in this Blog. Well, to the topic at hand. I have a thing about googling people especially if I hadn't seen you in a while. Just to see what if anything they have been up to. Now tell me, Is it good to believe everything you read? I think you shouldn't unless it is the gospel truth. Why people doubt that I have no idea but chil' believe me I am lifting them in prayer. Any hoot, I believe, there is that word again, that all people are innocent until they prove you wrong. I hate jumping to conclusions based on someone else's views and opinions. I ask questions and get a feel for their action, responses, answers and body language. I consider myself the mentalist and that weird gnome looking guy from the TV show Lie to Me. Is it a good thing to know the truth? Not really. However, knowing is half the battle and it is up to you how you handle that person or situation going forward. So believe in your friends, family and self. Nothing but a clearer more open path follows. Hasn't life been more clearer to you when you were in the Truth. BELIEVE!!

God's Roses

As a Mother I tend to reflect on my life as a child. How innocent the world was and yet how everything I needed was provided. My kids ask for things all the time but I see to their needs being met. God does that for us. We are his children and he makes sure that our needs are met. Can we as adults see the world innocent again. No I fear not. So much of this world has been made more clear because of Satans hand in our lives. So many dying due to fighting in wars. Children are going to bed hungry due to the vast unemployment rate. We have so much viloence in our schools that kids are trying to learn in fear. Parents are not wanting to be parents but kids themselves. With all this being said, I suppose you are wondering why I entitled this 'God's Roses'. Well, I see this world as a Garden that has been overruned with Weeds and Thorns. Sort of lIke Jesus's Parable but in a different more bigger picture. We are the Roses and the World is a garden.

A Day for Mother's

Ave Maria! Mother is god on the lips of a child. I remember the day I became a mother. I was young and very afraid. I have always wondered what it would be like to have a child running round the house laughing and dancing in my living room. Now they are all here and I am feeling so blessed and fulfilled. I have my times when I think they are trying to see if my head will explode. I can't stand it when they do the things I ask them not to do or don't do the things I ask them to do. There may never be a time when parents and children agree or compromise. We dictate and they complicate. Does a family meeting really help anything. A friend of mine told me about the speaker/listener approach when communicating with my husband. This has become the only way I can communicate with my kids. They seem to like to have the control of the floor. However, they tell each other to 'Shut Up I got the floor' alot. It is a good exercise to practice for adulthood.
My Mother has been in my corner my whole life. Last night while I was talking to her I had a glimpse of not hearing her voice. I started to cry and she asked what was wrong. I told her that I loved her and that at that very moment I felt her life in me. Her love is so deep for her children that I can feel it inside me. What a measure of love. It is the same love that God has for us. He loves us so much it was felt through his son's suffering, tears and as the blood ran down his hands and feet. I can never repay my mother for her blood, sweat and tears. Just as children of God we can never repay him. The next time your mother calls and you are quick to be discouraged because you are in a hurry, stop. The next time my kids make me yell so loud that they have to cover their ears, I will stop. The next time I am in a hurry and life is getting too loud, I will stop to hear God speak to me. Never rush the time you have to be a mother you are molding a future. Never rush the time you have left to return the love to your mother, she gave you a gift of life. Never rush your praise for God, He sacrificed his son so that you may have life. Give him ALL the Glory for your mother, life, children, and his sacrifice. I love you Mom! Thanks for giving me a great example of how to be a great mother too. Your love is endless, your life is priceless and your impact in my life can only be described as God-send!! Thank you Father for finding the perfect Angel to be my Mom. I only hope that my kids will feel this way one day. I can only hope. Signing out!
