A Day In My Life

Greetings Family! What a great, challenging, crazy busy but rewarding summer it has been. I have lots of posts I have been scrambling on paper and notebook..napkins etc etc. There will be time for me to get those to you. For now I would just like to share quickly some of my reflections. Enjoy and as always feed back is welcomed. An Exception To The Rule It is 7:26 a.m. in a Portland Oregon hotel. I have been up for awhile. The boys are in the next bed over sleeping soundly. Anthony is moving around but for the most part the room is quiet. I love this time in my day. I can hear myself think, more importantly I can hear the Lord and feel Him loving on me! That type of reassurance will go a long way in the day before me. School will be in session in a few weeks; days at the pool are numbered and pretty soon I will be counting Christmas lights.

Wisdom Pearl Sometimes, The Lord waits for you to make the First step towards Him.. That type of blind faith releases an abundance of blessings! Sj ...Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead - James 2:17 ps..read the whole chapter before making a judgement

Wisdom Pearl Have the heart of a servant The hands of a lay person Armed with a smile of contentment And an air of encouragement Your company will always be welcomed And your Words will always be weighed as truth -sj

Wisdom Pearl If you can not be what you once were Then be the best of what you currently are Finding joy in the newness of this chapter of your journey The choice is always yours -sj

Wisdom Pearl Broken can not fix broken -sj

The Real Of It All.... Everything ceases when its time has come The hands of the dead are open and empty So live, give and love as the opportunity presents They are funny things Not staying long And may not come around again Each moment is its own treasure -sj

Don't Be Silly Don't be a silly man or a foolish girl Don't be a hopeless boy or a delusional woman Death comes to all but it is only the beginning Not nearly the end Live, Love, Laugh and be stronger with the knowledge that more awaits Help, Care, and Serve! Taking stock in every good deed because it holds it's own reward -sj & many others

Wisdom Pearl An open hand is easier to bless and quick to give Cheerful is it's soul A closed fist belongs to a miserable heart who desires to own everything but gains nothing losing all in the end -sj

Wisdom Pearl You are the steward Not the Owner A steward can't be the Owner and the Owner will never be a steward A Servant to His cause yes....even then He still remains the Owner Don't twist it! -sj

Wisdom Pearl Have the mind, humility and thankfulness of a faithful steward and when the Owner returns the good reward will surely be yours -sj

Wisdom Pearl: Never forget that no matter the vastness of your possessions or the depth of your treasures You are only a steward For a time and no more Naked you came in...and naked you will leave -sj

Wisdom Pearl While a pebble may not be able to cause a WAVE it can still create a Stir in the Water -sj

how does one explain God to their children when they (parents) have never sought God for themselves How do these same individuals make an argument that God does not exist When they never sought Him for themselves Taste and see that the Lord is good -sj

Question How does one go about dismissing God when one has not attempted to have a relationship with Him? -sj
