A Memo From God

Date: Today

From: God

Subject: YOURSELF

Reference: LIFE

I am God. Today I will be handling all of your problems. Please remember that I do not need your help. If life happens to deliver a situation to you that you cannot handle, do not attempt to resolve it. Kindly put it in the SFGTD (something for God to do) box. All situations will be resolved, but in My time, not yours. Once the matter is placed into the box, do not hold onto it by worrying about it. Instead, focus on all the wonderful things that are present in your life now.

- If you find yourself stuck in traffic; Don't despair. There are people in this world for whom driving is an unheard of privilege.

- Should you have a bad day at work; Think of the man who has been out of work for years.

- Should you despair over a relationship gone bad; Think of the person who has never known what it's like to love and be loved in return.

- Should you grieve the passing of another weekend; Think of the woman in dire straits, working twelve hours a day, seven days a week to feed her children.

- Should your car break down, leaving you miles away from assistance; Think of the paraplegic who would love the opportunity to take that walk.

- Should you notice a new gray hair in the mirror; Think of the cancer patient in chemo who wishes she had hair to examine.

- Should you find yourself at a loss and pondering what is life all about, asking what is my purpose? Be thankful. There are those who didn't live long enough to get the opportunity.

- Should you find yourself the victim of other people's bitterness, ignorance, smallness or insecurities; Remember, things could be worse. You could be one of them!

God gives us hope. His love and understanding is ever present if only we believe. I can say I believe and though I have a far way to go spiritually I know things will be better if we have faith and trust in him. He gives us no more than we can bear. I just thank God for loving us just as we are.

Pink Saturday!

Today I’m showing some thinks, I would love to have, I think they are very soft and pretty.
I can see myself laying down reading and relaxing on the beautiful chaise lounge, and I love the ottoman. Of course I think my husband will put his foot down and tell me enough To much pink for him. Oh well, it doesn't cost to dream.

I believe in pink. I believe laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in happiness. I believe that tomorrow Is another day. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe in miracles.
Have a Happy and Bless Saturday! and be sure to visit Beverly at http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/ for a list of all the participants.

Keep Praying for the victims affected by the storm.

"Hopeful Friday"Prayer For Those Who Are In The Way Of Hurricane Ike

Cielo from The House In The Roses ~~ http://houseinroses.blogspot.com/ is hosting a "Hopeful Friday", to celebrate God's love and to make a chain of positive thoughts and inspirational messages. So join Cielo every Friday.
I decided to keep my post from Tuesday, because I'm still lifting my prayers to God to keep all safe from Ike.
I am adding special prayers to everyone that has had to deal with this major storm/hurricane and for what is in store .

O Heavenly Father, all the elements of nature obey Your commands, including hurricanes. Calm the storms that threaten us and turn our fear of Your power into praise of Your goodness.
Grant this through Our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives and reigns with the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever.
Amen.

“May God give you...For every storm a rainbow, for every tear a smile, for every care a promise and a blessing in each trial. For every problem life sends, a faithful friend to share, for every sigh a sweet song and an answer for each prayer.”
Irish Blessings

Enchanting Window Party

Cielo from The House In The Roses is sponsoring an "Enchanting Window Party". Go and visit Cielo at http://houseinroses.blogspot.com/ and visit all the participants that are showing there beautiful windows.

To me windows are like the windows of opportunity in life. Like in our homes we have many different ones to look at our world. There are times when windows of opportunity appear and for

whatever fear based reason, we decline to look through them. The thing to remember is that there are other windows. They may appear in a different emotional architecture but we somehow remember that windows are everywhere. To say you missed the only opportunity is like saying you missed your only chance to breathe. Another window is out there, waiting, whispering for you to look through its opening. Perhaps now is one of those times.

My house don't have many windows, it has mostly sliders.

But I love the view and the light that comes through them.

The windows of my soul I throw wide open to the sun.

John Greenleaf, My Psalm

I hope your dreams take... you to the corners of your smiles, to the highest of your hopes, to the windows of your opportunities, and to the most special places your heart has ever known.

"Let there be many windows to your soul, that all the glory of the world may beautify it"

Ella Wheeler Wilcox

When God Closes a Door, He Opens a Window.

Bless Sunday

Sometimes I read a passage in a book and those very words can be life changing.Here are some passages that have changed my life:

"...Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others..."
