LIve in this Moment, Don't Live in the Past, The Future is designed

It seems that everyone I talk to is busy, busy, busy. That is what is going on around me and yes with in me as well.
There comes a time in ones life that you realize that all this business is  good, but you are missing out on life.
Perhaps we need to take a step back and (to use a cliche) "smell the roses". What I mean is every second of every day can be a special moment. Have you ever had one moment in time where that moment seems to go on and on. What do I mean you ask, well think of this, the first time you see your brand new baby sister or brother, or (for those married) you see your bride for the first time when you are standing up front waiting for her and you see her coming down the isle. You know that special moment in time when everything seems to move at slow motion just for an instant and yet it seems it lasted for quite a while.
I guess what I am saying is that you need to live life for every moment and don't let those moments pass.

So live in this moment, don't live in the past, and the future will be what it is, we have a designed destiny that God has control of.

God Bless

Gold

Your heart is like gold

Shining with love

Showing you care for those close to you

I see the gold shining through

I know that Jesus put that gold there

For the entire world to see.

Now there will come a time when

You will think the gold is gone

Just remember that it will never

Be taken away.

For a gift from God is not taken

Away, it is just up to us

Whether we use it or not.

So when you have a need think of the

Gold that Jesus freely gave and

That will make your heart shine more.

Gold is precious just like you

I will always love you

And I will forever be grateful.

Top Side of The Grass

So the summer is over, this is the last weekday before kids start going back to school. It was a good summer, busy but good.

Now the fall begins and we have a lot to look forward to. Being the end of summer is not the end of everything. I know there are some who wish summer would be here all the time, but if you live in Regina, then the summer is short and the winter long. But that is where God has put you. So instead of complaining how short it is perhaps we need to rejoice that we have the summer we had, and thank our Lord that we are still breathing and are on the top side of the grass.

It is a wonderful day of family and friends. Keep on smiling and let every see that no matter the time of the year or week or day, that you have a Saviour that controls your life and your destiny. In Him you will be great.

God Bless you

Have a Blessed Day!

YAY

2. Went to BaBa and Papa's house and built a deck
3. Built a closet for Mom and Dad (me)
4. Went to Calgary
5. Went to Pelican Narrows (for a week)
6. Worked at the Church/School
7. Went to youth conference, The Hard Way, in BC and just got back last night (another week)
8. Built a fence
9. Help replace an engine in a car
This is our traveling and busy man. Wow I was never that busy when I was his age...

God Kept our son safe through all of this.

Thank you Jesus.

Have a Great Day


In that day you will say: “I will praise you, O LORD. Although you were angry with me, your anger has turned away and you have comforted me. Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The LORD, the LORD, is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation.” With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.

Isaiah 12:1-3 The New International Version

Life is a Gift

Strength, is it strong

Life is it wrong

You breathing is good

Then life is not just a song

We can remain

We have the strength

Given us by our Lord

Never is Life wrong

It is a gift given to us

Never take for granted

Do we even care

Look around

We have a chance

Life is not wrong

Life is a gift

Share or don't share

Who cares?

Our gift Giver

Your willingness

Give of yourself

Share to the world

Life is a Gift

Have a great Day!!

People need the Lord

As i look outside this morning it is raining...mmm I love the smell of fresh rain in the AM. Well summer is coming to an end and the fall soon will be here. It is truly amazing to me how the world knows what to do when it is suppose to.
I think that God is an Awesome God to have designed such and elaborate place for us to live.

What do we have to look forward to? Well the fall, winter, spring and yes Summer again. But what will you plans be for the fall. Will you continue the way you have been or will you be like the men who came back from the Promised land and say "What a might and Awesome Land!". This fall is your opportunity to claim people for Christ. A new beginning in the middle of the year if you will.

If you think about it there is no time like the present. Like this song says People need the Lord.

In My World

In my world there are many things

In my heart is a void that needs to be filled

In my eyes I could not see the ending or beginning of a love so deep

In my veins flows the blood the ever life giving blood I feel

In my mind are the thoughts of a love so dear and a love so pure

In my touch I feel nothing yet there is plenty of feeling there

I am so alone and my heart is still a void

 

My eyes I cannot see what love is like

My veins the blood goes so slow

My thoughts are being drowned by the constant nagging of no love

My touch I touch everything yet feel nothing

The void I have in my heart seems so deep like a never-ending drop

 

Until one day I met you Lorie, now I look and see the stars

I feel the love that fills the void and I feel the love so deep

The blood in my veins flows freely now

My thoughts are of you alone my love

 

My heart is no longer a void

LIVING FOR THE MOMENT!

If we live in the now and don't worry about the later or the before.
If you live every moment to its fullest you will see that the later or the before really doesn't matter as living in the moment serving our Saviour is what you need to do. By doing this the later will be mapped out for you and the before will be forgiven if there is a need.

Just keep your eyes turned toward the Saviour  living for this very moment in time and you will find all is well.

"It is well with my soul" is what we can sing...

Is Clutter all there is??

when are working at something and it tends to take a lot more time than you thought it would. I have been trying to accomplish some tasks in my workshop area and I find that it has been interesting. I have a lot of little things and stuff that needs to go. Some might call it clutter, others might call it valuable, and yet some call it junk and a disaster.

No matter how you look at it it is still all there, and what to do about it? Well a little purging might be in order, if not one could end up on that reality show "Hoarders". (OK not that bad).

It reminds me of ones heart and how cluttered it can get with the every day stuff that somewhat matters, but in the end is just clutter. If we were to open our hearts and let the One who is able to help us get rid of the clutter and have Him start tossing away the stuff that is no good and keep all the good stuff you will be surprised on what you will end up with.

Let Jesus work in your hearts and minds and let Him help you get to a place where you can move and have pure clean thoughts.


God Bless You

We can bless others by rising above our own situations and coming out ahead rather than being buried by them.

Today is the beginning of a new week. New opportunities to bless someone. Take the time this week to look at your circumstance and see if what you are going through, or what you are doing, or even if you have some trouble. Take the time to try to bless a fellow human being!

Think of it this way:
We can bless others by rising above our own situations and coming out ahead rather than being buried by them.

Jesus will give you the strength that you need in order to succeed.

Philippians 4:10-13

10. But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at last you have revived your concern for me; indeed, you were concerned before, but you lacked opportunity.
11. Not that I speak from want, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am.
12. I know how to get along with humble means, and I also know how to live in prosperity; in any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of being filled and going hungry, both of having abundance and suffering need.
13. I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.


God Bless you this Day!

NOW IS THE TIME!

If there ever was a time to decide

Under the heavens
There is a place
Do we decide?
Do we keep pace?

It’s now or never
Attitude is high
Never or now
Don't just give a sigh

Pray right now
Or never give in
Let someone show you how
Then victory win

Come to a choice
Feel inside
Heart is a voice
Let it decide

When you say
Will I ever
Just don't stay
Forever is never

When you decide
To let Jesus in
He will abide
From now to forever

World Happenings

When you listen to the news during the day and you hear of all the bad that is happening in the world it makes you think to yourself and perhaps you even say it out loud, "What is this world coming to". Now I ask this question:
Do you think that we hear about so much in the world because of the inexhaustible media? Or is there more bad?
Just think 20 years ago you probably didn't hear so much.

Well no matter what there is going on in this world you can always count on The One. That is Jesus. He is ever present and is always willing to be there for you even if you don't realize it.

In Ephesians it says:

You, however, did not come to know Christ that way. Surely you heard of him and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus. You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true, righteousness and holiness.
Ephesians 4:20-24 The New International Version

You can live for Christ. The world will still do its thing, but now you will have a reason to pray for it.

God Bless

You May Think Your Right

So for yesterdays blog well the site was slow and then I forgot to put one up.

G'Day to you all.


In this day and age when Marriage is attacked at every angle you may think I am next. If you want to keep your marriage intact you need to work at it. Guys I am talking to you! You need to work at by respecting, loving, honoring your wife. Be sure to tell her daily that you Love her and that she is beautiful. Wives, when your husband complements you that is a way for you to know how much he love you. Wives you need to accept the compliment with thanks.

As a married couple you need to Discover your own language of love. A glance with a grin, a touch, or even just brushing by will give that feeling of Love if you have developed your relationship.

I am so blessed to have a caring loving wonderful wife, Lorie is my best friend, lover, confidant and most of all the one who understands me.

But most of all a marriage that is based on a relationship with Jesus Christ is a strong marriage indeed. You as a couple need to Pray together daily

Be happy don't worry

Today is Monday,

A great way to start off the week.
Look at it this way, this is an opportunity for you to be excellent in all that you do.
Try to look at this week as a possibility of positive outcomes. Any thing that may arise make it a positive instead of a negative. Think of it this way. When something arises that may not have been excellent, that is and opportunity to improve. A step toward the positive result.

You know it is all about the attitude and how you start y our days. If you were to start it in a grumpy state then your week will be a drag. Start you week on a positive note. I have blogged before. If you are unsure how to make your day look into the mirror and start laughing, yes just laugh. It is surprising how funny we all look (or I think I do) when I laugh.

Be happy don't worry type of attitude.

Keep on smiling

Live for the Weekends

You know how we all live for the weekends and vacation time. Do you think that is all there is to life?
Is that the only thing we work our selves for is for those time.
I know at my workplace it is hard to understand peoples perception on life.
Work complain about work and say things like only 3 more days, or its hump day.

Well there is more to just living for the weekends. There is providing a safe environment for you family by working and earning money to provide for them.

Next time you have a negative thought about work try turning that around by thinking to yourself or if you prefer say openly to yourself. " I will be positive in my workspace and keep a positive outlook".

It is a good thing to keep yourself in check. It is most liberating. And yes it could be funny to see people reaction when you say that. Mostly a strange look.

Have a great day

From Goo 2 You By The Way of the Zoo!

From time to time I wonder why,
Why the world spins as it does
Why the stars are just hanging there
Why the moon just sits in it awesomeness

Has this all been by chance
Has this all been by just random luck
that we all came into being by the chance meeting
of two random particles that came together and decided
to make nooky and create the first being
I don't think that this phrase works in this world
"From Goo 2 You By The Way Of The Zoo!"
the world believes we are all here by chance.

Well I don't think so. I choose to believe in what the Bible says
that God Created this world. I am not just a chance meeting of
some random particles. I am and you are Created by God's design.

And so are you!!!

God Bless you

Here is a YouTube video I thought i would share.

Can you make them Smile??

Well it has been awhile since i wrote a blog. I was on holidays. Now back at it.

You know that we have a way in life to have an impact on people. Well everything you do you impact people. Try this some time: When you go to the store and you are in a check out and the cashier seems a bit off to you. Strike up a conversation and let the cashier know what an awesome job she/he is doing. You would make that persons day. I try to do this often, I try to get a smile from the person serving me. At no time should you be so impatient to make the person uncomfortable, its not their fault if there is no price on an item or if you don't like the price, they did not set the price. If it is wrong and you have proof, just prove it in a gentle manner. Keep the peace so to speak.

Try it next time you are in a store. See if you can make the person serving you smile. It is not that difficult. It will make you feel great.

It is easy to do, comment on how efficient they are. My father in law would say to the gal cashiers that (if female) something like this. "Has anyone said to  you today that you are pretty?". I can tell you this, that brings a smile.

So try it the next time you are impatient, it will make you feel good as well as the person serving you.
