A woman was at work when she received a phone call that her small daughter was very sick with a fever.  She left work and stopped by the pharmacy to get some  medication.

She got back to her car and found that she had locked her keys in the car.  She didn’t know  what to do, so she called home and told the baby sitter what had happened. The baby  sitter told her that the fever was getting worse.  She said, “You  might find a coat hanger and use that to open the door.”
 The woman looked around  and found an old rusty coat hanger that had been left on the ground,
 possibly by someone else who at some time had locked their keys in their car. She looked at the hanger and said, “I don’t know how  to use this.”

She bowed her head and asked God to send her help. Within five minutes a beat up old
 motorcycle pulled up, with a dirty, greasy, bearded man who was wearing an old biker  skull rag on his head. The woman thought, “This is what you sent to help me?”  But, she was desperate, so
she was also very thankful. The man got off of his cycle and asked if he could help.  She said, “Yes, my daughter is very sick. I stopped to get her some medication and I locked my keys in my car. I must get home to her.  Please, can you use this hanger to unlock my car?

He said, “Sure.”  He

walked over to the car, and in less than a minute the car was opened. She hugged the man and through her tears she said, “Thank You So Much! You are a very nice man.” The man replied, “Lady, I am not a nice man.  I just got out of prison today.  I was in prison for car theft and have only been out for about an hour.”

 The woman hugged the man again and with sobbing tears cried out loud, “Oh, Thank you God!  You even sent me a Professional!”

Is - GOD GOOD  - or what!?

Just another friendly story to share. It will make you think about the things you choose to do in life.Hope you enjoy.Bless you all and have a Great Sunday!

Just Stay
A nurse took the tired, anxious serviceman to the bedside.

She had to repeat the words several times before the patient’s eyes opened.

Heavily sedated because of the pain of his heart attack, he dimly saw the young uniformed Marine standing outside the oxygen tent. He reached out his hand. The Marine wrapped his toughened fingers around the old man’s limp ones, squeezing a message of love and encouragement.

The nurse brought a chair so that the Marine could sit beside the bed. All through the night the young Marine sat there in the poorly lighted ward, holding the old man’s hand and offering him words of love and strength.  Occasionally, the nurse suggested that the Marine move away and rest awhile.
He refused. Whenever the nurse came into the ward, the Marine was oblivious of her and of the night noises of the hospital - the clanking of the oxygen tank, the laughter of the night staff members exchanging greetings, the cries and moans of the other patients.

Now and then she heard him say a few gentle words. The dying man said nothing, only held tightly to his son all through the night.

Along towards dawn, the old man died. The Marine released the now lifeless hand he had been holding and went to tell the nurse. While she did what she had to do, he waited.

Finally, she returned. She started to offer words of sympathy, but the Marine interrupted her.

‘Who was that man?’ he asked.
The nurse was startled, ‘He was your father,’ she answered.
‘No, he wasn’t,’ the Marine replied. ‘I never saw him before in my life.’

‘Then why didn’t you say something when I took you to him?’

‘I knew right away there had been a mistake, but I also knew he needed his son, and his son just wasn’t here.
When I realized that he was too sick to tell whether or not I was his son, knowing how much he needed me, I stayed.’

The next time someone needs you … Just be there.  Stay.

DIRECTIONS TO OUR FATHER’S HOUSE.

Make a Right onto Believeth Blvd.

Keep straight and go through the Green Light, which is Jesus Christ.

There, you must turn onto the Bridge of Faith , which is over troubled water.

When you get off the bridge, make a Right turn and Keep Straight

You are on the King’s Highway - Heaven-bound.

Keep going for three miles: One for the Father, One for the Son, and One for the Holy Ghost.

Then exit off onto Grace Blvd.

From there, make a Right turn on Gospel Lane

Keep Straight and then make another Right on Prayer Road

As you go on your way, Yield Not to the traffic on Temptation Ave.

Also, avoid SIN STREET because it is a DEAD END.

Pass up Envy Drive  and Hate Avenue

Also, pass Hypocrisy Street, Gossiping Lane , and Backbiting Blvd.

However, you have to go down Long-suffering Lane , Persecution Blvd. and Trials and Tribulations Ave.

But that’s all right, because VICTORY Street is straight ahead!

AMEN!!!!!

SEND THESE DIRECTIONS TO YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY SO THEY WILL NOT GET LOST.

Life is God’s gift to you.

The way you live it…………is your gift to God

I try very hard to stay positive cuz I know that the Lil Nuns I take care of feel the stress too. I’ve been trying to take it one day at a time and not looking to what I can fix tomorrow. I take it when it gets here and I am Thankful!

I Thank God for Loving me even when I mess up.This week has been tuff on my eats and exersizeing. I was beginning to feel down and ready to give up and God reminded how much He loves me, even when I fail.He also reminded me that if I will just keep looking to Him, He will help me. I have learned that i’m NOT a failure ,I am human!I Have not failed cuz I did not quit……I have noticed the small changes in the past several months and it makes me happy. So when you feel like quitting,think about how far you have come and Keep going. All my Buddies here have a Blessed Day. Thanks for being here and being you!

Good Saturday Morning my Buddies! I’ve been up since 3 in the morning, just can’t sleep.I am working today for a co-worker , Which I don’t mind I love my Lil Nuns. I was going thre some old folders and found this nice story, thought I would share with you. Hope you all have a Blessed day and remember to eat right and drink your water, and get up and move.

Unfolding the Rose

A young, new preacher was walking with an older, more seasoned preacher in the garden one day. Feeling a bit insecure about what God had for him to do, he was asking the older preacher for some advice.

The older preacher walked up to a rosebush and handed the young preacher a rosebud and told him to open it without tearing off any petals. The young preacher looked in disbelief at the older preacher and was trying to figure out what a rosebud could possibly have to do with his wanting to know the will of God for his life and ministry.

But because of his great respect for the older preacher, he proceeded to try to unfold the rose, while keeping every petal intact. It wasn’t long before he realized how impossible this was to do.

Noticing the younger preacher’s inability to unfold the rosebud without tearing it, the older preacher began to recite the following poem:

It is only a tiny rosebud,
A flower of God’s design;
But I cannot unfold the petals
With these clumsy hands of mine.
The secret of unfolding flowers
Is not known to such as I.
GOD opens this flower so sweetly,
Then, in my hands, they die.

If I cannot unfold a rosebud,
This flower of God’s design,
Then how can I have the wisdom
To unfold this life of mine?

So I’ll trust in Him for leading
Each moment of my day.
I will look to Him for His guidance
Each step of the pilgrim way.

The pathway that lies before me,
Only my Heavenly Father knows.
I’ll trust Him to unfold the moments,
Just as He unfolds the rose.
  I ask For Gods help everyday in this new journey of life. He is FAITHFUL!

The Butterfly

A man found a cocoon of a butterfly. One day a small opening appeared. He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could, and it could go no further.

So the man decided to help the butterfly. He took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily. But it had a swollen body and small, shriveled wings.

The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, which would contract in time. Neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings. It never was able to fly.

What the man, in his kindness and haste, did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening were God’s way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.

Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our lives. If God allowed us to go through our lives without any obstacles, it would cripple us. We would not be as strong as what we could have been. We could never fly!

Hello Friends, hope you enjoyed this as much as i did. It really made me think about how we want a quick fix with our weight. We are willing to try starvation diets to only end up frustrated and ending up heavy again.God made food for us to eat, we just need to learn how to eat it the correct way and the right portions.Blessings to all, and have a great Day!

Happy Thursday to you all, I’m on my way to work .I take care of Lil retired sick Nuns, kinda like a nursing home but with spiritual benifits.I love my job!

  Well the diamonds have decided to spread there wings and fly, I will miss my buddies but I know that God has another plan for me.I know that when one door closes another will be opened. I have been lurking around the forums and looking for one which I think I might fit in.Anyways , I want to let everyone know that it doesn’t matter which teamwe are on or not on , that God has brought us all here for the same reason and to let us know that we are not alone in this journey. We are all here to change our ways!

I hope that you all have a Blessed day and I will chat at you later, Gotta go share my gift of Love with my lil Nuns.Love ya all!

Judas Asparagus

Anyways, Jesus died for our sins, then came back to life again.  He went up
to Heaven but will be back at the end of the Aluminum. His return is
foretold in the book of Revolution.

I’ve been doing some thinking .The past few days I have read alot of blogs about God. That is great that we are not ashamed to share our love for Christ, the good thing about these blogs are ,thay have made me think and recheck myself and where I am with God in my life.

  I was not brought up with any religion as a child, as I became a teenager I learned of Jesus threw a friend. Still No personal relationship with God.Then…Here came my divorce, which lead to self distruction. Drinking ,smoking,doing drugs and not caring about what happened to me.Anyways..I had to hit rock bottom to find my savior, Jesus Christ. I gave up everything for my Lord. I tought sunday school. I was in church giving to God everything I had cuz he gave me back my life. At this time in my life,Jesus was first above all things. I would get up and start my day at 4:30 in prayer and devotions. My life was great, don’t get me wrong, I still had my trials but God helped me threw them all. I even lost 50 pounds during this time of my life.I wouldn’t put food in my mouth if I didn’t give God thanks.He gave me the strength to do it. 

   Then for some reason, I wasn’t going to church as much and my ways were changeing and I wasn’t seeking God for things and as the days go by I talk to God but I’ve come to relize that I really MISS him!!!! I can’t do this life changing journey on my own , I need God to hold my hand and help me. Thanks for the blogs and reminding me that all we have to do is ask. Ask and you shall recieve!

Soo what I am saying is we need to thank God for everything and seek him for everything! I can’t do this without him, and I Thank God He gave me friends Like YOU!!!!

Nothing speciall to say ,Just wanted to start myday off with my buddies. I’m on my way to work and thought if I stopped here It would make my day brighter. I love reading the blogs and knowing that I am not the only one with this journey ahead of me , really makes me feel better. I pray you all have a Blessed day and thanks for being You!
