THANKFUL..".LET ME COUNT THE WAYS"

-
What am I thankful for this This Year as Thanksgiving rolls around once again, You know time waits on no one, I am thankful that I am still alive, My daughter just gave birth to a 6lb 14oz baby girl..Brielle Akira, Yes I am Nana number 5..I wear it well I must say, I thank God for another blessing. I awoke this morning with devout thanksgiving for my friends, the old and the new.  Its not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our thanksgivings,..I am thankful for my family, I may not see my families as I wish but when I do, its always a celebration. For the last 11 months people have come in our lives and gone, We knew some was here for a reason or season. but whatever it was they taught us something I am sure..but if you didn't learn anything, its sure to repeat itself.. I am thankful for my children, all different personalities keep me on my toes. A parents love is whole no matter how many times divided..I am thankful for my job, a lot of people are not working and can't find a job. The unemployment rate is at its all time high, I may complain a bit, but I know which side my bread is buttered on. Lord if I can't have what I want, Let me want what I have..I am thankful for just being who I am..For, after all, put it as we may to ourselves, we are all of us from birth to death guests at a table which we did not spread. The sun, the earth, love, friends, our very breath are parts of the banquet.... Shall we think of the day as a chance to come nearer to our Host, and to find out something of Him who has fed us so long....~Happy Thanksgiving~

    Though we communicate far, few, and in-between I'm thankful to have such an old (as in longevity) friend in my life!

The Pursuit of Unhappiness Always Succeeds...

Much unhappiness has come into the world because of things left unsaid..People never say what they really mean, talks in a round about way, I am more and more convinced that our happiness or our unhappiness depends far more on the way we meet the events of life than on the nature of those events themselves..But most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be. Plenty of people miss their share of happiness, not because they never found it, but because they didn't stop to enjoy it..We fall in and out of love through out our lives..some make us happy some make us unhappy. Some people come into our lives, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never ever the same.You can’t dial down feelings and we can’t turn back time. We can hope, even pray, that these intense feelings, desires & passions for that person, will subside if denied. That the ache in the heart will go away, that it will be filled with some other feeling, other than the love & happiness it...

Am I Dreaming? Gods Church or The Devils Chapel...

Where God has his churches, the Devil has his chapels..So it seems I must have been dreaming, Forget about the life you have created for yourself since you were old enough to know what you wanted to do with your life, because 99.9% of the time it's not going as plan. We are taken down this dark road of "Why am I here" is this a lesson? should I have gone left? I must have went right to the Devils chapel. We don't know it's the Devils chapel. for the moment we have that selective vision and hearing.but does the devil know he is a devil?..hmmmmmm, or maybe I am dreaming and I am really in Gods church...Wow, I am so overwhelmed, because they both kinda seems alike, God said we will go through trials and tribulations."God never promised that we wouldn’t have challenges. In fact, He said just the opposite. His word says, ‘Be truly glad!...these trials are only to test your faith, to see whether or not it is strong and pure…’ so if your faith remains strong after b...

'If You Don't Have A Dream, How You Gonna Make Your Dream Come True?

-

How Indeed?..Our visions are, in many ways, our most vital assets. They may frustrate and tantalise us when we realise that we are unlikely ever to turn them into a reality; but they can comfort us enormously if we cling to them in times of adversity.But You know, I have come to believe that some people are as happy as they make up thier minds to be. Everything is always cut and dry. and we know that is not the way life is. I have dreams, I never stop dreaming.There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure. Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning. I have witnessed some folks who just stop dreaming, the older they get they just adopted this "live and let live" No need to dream or want more.It's sad...And for God's sake, never get into the petty habit of measuring your self-worth against other people's net-worth. Every second you spend thinki...
