Two sided people

Two sided people, ah, I bet you thought I was talking about someone else. No, in fact I'm talking about you, me and everyone else on the planet. We all have a good side, and we all have that bad side that causes us to sin and do things that we ourselves don't like. I get mad at people for hardly no reason, Take the man who fills my grocery bags too full, even when I've asked him to please not. He makes me so mad that I feel like punching him. And it's not funny, because I should not feel that way about anyone. I get mad about little things. Sometimes I feel that I should be first to be waited on just because I'm me. On and on and on. Hey! don't sit back and read this and think that you are not the same way. We all are! And the thing about it is that we could be better if we would. Think when you get mad, "" is it all about me, or is there a real injustice going on. If it's all about you, pray that the feeling will pass, and that God will forgive you for the feeling of self importance.

There are times when anger is appropriate. When you see others being hurt, then the anger is well placed. Even Jesus got mad about the money changers defrauding the people.

OK, So I've confessed a little once more of my not so perfect life. But I just wanted you to know that you weren't the only one to fall into this kind of temptation. I have failed many times too.

God Bless

Gardenia's ready to plant

So if you will remember, in the spring when the gardenia's were blooming. I got some cuttings and smelled the sweet aroma of the flowers for a few days, then cut the flowers off and left the stems in water. I showed you a picture of the roots that had started spouting. I gave some advice that you should get you some cuttings from your neighbors bush and root you some yourselves.


Well if you did, you have something like this now.











And if you put them at a window where they were getting a little light then the tops should look like this.












OK now your gardenia's are ready to plant.
Now is the perfect time to plant because they still have time to take root in the ground before cold weather sets in.

So, if you didn't do it this year, maybe you will next year.
Good luck and God Bless

Firefighters gaining on Los Angeles-area wildfire
By RAQUEL MARIA DILLON Associated Press Writer

There are people, that think it so funny to pull a joke on some one, or do something as a prank.

Most of these people think ""what's the harm"" and most get by with it. They go into cemeteries and smash the stones, They think that's real funny. They have no ideal the hurt that is caused by their actions, The grief and expense that the family will bare, has no effect on their already harden hearts.

Someone went in the forest near Los-Angeles and just for the fun of it, lit a match or lighter and set something on fire. They thought it was funny, I suppose. But how do you think they feel now, knowing that because of their actions, property and homes of many have been destroyed and lives have been taken? I know that you have all been reading about the fires and how they have been burning 10 days or more now. so I won't rehash all the news articles.

I just want to bring to people's attention that jokes, pranks, and those sort of things are not always funny nor are they always innocent. So just watch yourselves and think before you do something that you may regret.

God bless

Wildfire's origin probed in blaze near Los Angeles
By RAQUEL MARIA DILLON Associated Press Writer

What's love got to do with it?

what's love got to do with it. I know most of us recognize this as a song title . Have you ever noticed That when someone truly loves you , that they're rarely say the words ' I love you '. Willard Hardy Ever tells me in words, but by every action he takes. while on the other hand , there are people that say (I love you ) to me all the time , but rarely show it .

Christ told us in words that He loved us, and then He showed us the ultimate signs of His love. He took our place. We should all be eternally dammed for all our sins. But Christ stepped in with a love so big, a love so undescribable. We can't explain that love, we just know it's there because we feel Christ's presents in our hearts and in our lives. He walks with us every second, and is there before we even know we need Him.

I wish with all my heart that my unsaved family and friends would come to know that same Jesus Christ. To know that kind of love. To have that confidants in something that is greater that all. A love so great that it envelopes you and comforts you in a way that is not describable in human words.

If you don't know this kind of love, then you don't ""really"" know Christ as Lord and Savior. Let me ask this question. Are you living your life just using the name Jesus and saying you are a Christian, Or have you been born again? have you really let Christ in your hearts, and turned your life over to Him?

Call on Him now, Get to know that same Jesus Christ, You know, the one that gave His life for you. Yes, That Jesus.

God bless

house work

Well I don't have to go to the nursing home today, so it's a fine time to do what I hate most, cleaning house. I know a few people out there that have show place homes and would cringe at the look of my home, and most likely have. My house is lived in and I like it that way. Willard and David both drag in a pound of dirt a week on their shoes. Willard , on a week end goes in and out , in and out. bringing all sorts of stuff in the house on the bottom of his shoes. I try not to worry about it, as I wait until afternoon when he is in the house for the day. I am not one of those wives or that kind of house wife to jump up with a broom or dust mop every time he comes in and gets grass, leaves and dirt on the kitchen floor. Something that some of you wives should get to know is, most men don't care! Just as long as their belly is full and they have clean clothes in their draws and closet, they could care less that there is tooth paste splatters on the bathroom mirror that they just put there when they brushed their teeth. they don't care about the trash beside their chair. An they don't care to remember how it got there. I could go on and on, but I think you all get the drift. I married Willard, I did not marry this house. I am Willard's wife not the house's wife.

Hey I know men that have to take off their shoes before they come in the house. I could only wish that Willard would, but I'm not making a big deal about it. Because I care more about him than the house. And after all, it's his house too.

When I lived alone I kept a very neat and tidy home. But sorry folks, I'm not running behind any one with a broom and a dust pan, and a cleaning clothe. OK now that I've said all that, on with the cleaning.

God Bless

Jealousy

This little green beast is really not funny.

Jealousy can cause so much more than most of us would think. Our Bible study group talked about jealousy today. It started with reading Chapter 26 of Genesis. Where king Abimelech who at the beginning gave an order to his people that no one would cause any harm to Isaac or Rebekah. But as Isaac grew larger in the number of servants, herds, and all that he had. Abimelech grew jealous and had his servants to fill in the wells that Isaac was getting water from. Isaac moved and again Abimelech's servants fought about the wells. It was only when Isaac was far enough away from Abimelech that they stopped fighting over the water rights. There are so many places in the Bible that show us jealousy of one sort or another. Jealousy in families, Children against children. Jealousy will destroy our very souls if we let it. One of the men at the Bible study group made a comment that really needed addressing. He said that there are those people that want others to be jealous of them. He said it made some people happy when they thought others envied them. And I couldn't help but agree with him. Because I know some of those types of people myself. And it dawned on me, that, that type of behavior is as bad if not worse than the people that are jealous.

Jealousy is an evil spirit that rips apart family's & friendships, and for that matter entire nations. And what for , you be the judge on that one. I know what has caused my jealous moments. What has caused your's. Be honest with yourself and just go to the Lord with it. He is a wonderful Savior that forgives. His grace is sufficient for each and every one of us. Thank God for that.

God bless.
