Calling all to reach out for each other! And as you REACH OUT & STRETCHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....
You will find you CATCH more than you may have thought you would...
Especially when as you do you give away bright SonShiney Smiles with kind words to each you meet along every street and take the time to stop at each senior lunching table and smile and bless each one...
And when you see that any of those who gather there tend to sit off alone...invite yourself to join them!
You can change and enrich their life as you enrich your own by taking interest in them and draw them into the activities of the group...
Most of these senior centers of many exercise classes offered through out the week to try to keep them active and on their feet....
You know the saying: "Use it or lose it"?
You may have some lonely senior folk in your own neighborhood who you have never seen go out at all...
You could invite them to join you and introduce them around...especially to those you know with whom they have much in common and tell them both together ....Jane, Sue... Did you know that both of you grew up not far from each other even though you never met before??
Let them chatter a bit with each other and when they run out of things to say to one another, ask them questions or tell them another tidbit they have in common...
Then you can bring the two of them with you into exercise class with you and sit them together near you and you can find ways to entertain them...
Once they laugh enough with each other...they won't ever separate...you can be happy you helped two lonely souls find each other...
Stretching ones mind...stretching ones heart....one shall catch joy and laughter that fills much more than rooms with exercise enthusiasts!
Relationships are the only things in life that survives death...and when we choose to seek ways to be a continual blessing every where we go...
When we choose to vow to speak only words of honeycomb from our mouth our whole life through...
We can be sure we will not have as much fetching to do...
For blessings of all kinds will always chase down he or she who live as Esthers and Jacobs always!
So keep STRETCHING and reaching OUT onto and for others and instead of Fetching you will be CATCHING not fish....but harvesting the lost and lonely who were lost amongst thickets and weeds!
Amen Amen Amen and Alleluia!

We Can Make Excuses In This Excesive Heat Not To Exercise...But If We Are Wise....
We can choose to be wise and both recognize and embrace alternative options to remain atractively active!
Those of us who are accustomed to walking outdoors to all of our destinations...
We can instead bicycle there and get there much faster and endure the sun for far less time..
If we were able to walk before...The distance remains the same yet bicycling our bodies still get to STRETCH CATCH & FETCH...
Possibly your physical activity has not been curtailed by rising tempretures but by lack of safety in your neighborhood!
So if something out of your control keeps you in doors....try putting on some music to SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE your hips to!
You can choose to do the TWIST or lots of leg lifts...
You can also turn household chores from being a down right neccesary bore....
Into fun that gets your heart pumping and your muscles flexing and a stretching....and Sing HIM New songs at the same time....your vocal cords can too never become dull or mute...
Doing so you shall refute any stiffness coming to you....and your heart then will never become blue!
So do not simply get under the fans to be cool....Become a fan of action not reaction...and you will have fans of friends chasing you!

Anyone Will Feel Glum or Blue if All They Ever Do Is Sit and Never Move...Even One Confined to a Wheel Chair Cany Can Can...
Many to most neighborhoods across most of USA ...even in the best of areas that were always safe in the past are now infected with legal businesses and clubs that both draw the types of folks no mother or father would want their children growing up near.
My husband and I have signed a one year rental contract on this house in what appeared to be in a much safer area than we have lived in our entire marriage...we celebrate 14 years on May 30, 2011. Looks can be decieving and in these end times I am learning almost always...absolutely not a thing is what it appears to be...so a word of caution to all of my readers...
Take caution! Strictly follow the what the Word of GOD directs us all...Pray Always!
When we purposely choose to always be mindful of HIM...as scripture directs...
If we are Singing HIM New Songs no matter we are washing laundry, hanginging it on the line in our back yards, repairing the lawn mower, cutting the grass or planting tomatoes and leaf lettuce in rows with love...
When the enemy attacks and he will keep attacking till the day which is soon and very soon.... http://soonandverysoonandsuddenly.blogspot.com/
You because your eyes and heart are already focused upon GOD...you will be safe for you will recognize and be able to repond to The Lord's direction or instruction...
And when under attack even a fraction of a fraction of a secondin responding makes a difference.
Everyone is healthier when they stretch both their bodies and their minds...
Choose tp practice GOD's Holy Word and SEEK & FIND new solutions to both old problems and new ones!
So I was walking every day in this Kannapolis neighborhood whether my husband William cared to walk or not.
We rented this house because it is so close to St Joseph Catholic Church of Kannapolis.
My husband had caught the walking fever as I wrote here last time.
Then after about a week of walking every early evening with me...
I cannot recall what came up that he said: "Walk without me...you'll be fine...I'll be right here...no one will bother you with our vehicle in the driveway!"
Well I had for months walked alone without feeling the treat I did in prior neighborhoods...
But since I felt assured and safe...I was even singing to Our Lord Praises...
I walked several times around the block...and ventured down ans into the next...
I became the target of male leud conduct...Certainly GOD protected me...but now I cannot put GOD to the test!
I believe GOD allowed this to happen because both HE wants to keep my William...
And now more than anytime before, it is important husbands and wives are unseperatable!
You who may not have the choice to walk...maybe you have a physical condition and are in a wheel chair...
You can still get out into the fresh air...on your porch and do stretching exercises within your chair.
There exists exercise programs for folks like you... check out:
http://sitandbefit.org/
I began watching Mary Ann many years ago when still in Louisiana. There was a time that I was unhealthy, before GOD healed me of a multitude of things...and HE will heal you too...none of us need be blue...
HE is not a respector of persons and it only takes a mustard grain of Faith....
HE heals no one who simply sits around being glum...HE expects us to actively reach out for it!
Remember the man who had no plan but to lie next to the pool at Bethesda to be the one who got into the pool first to be "The only one healed that year?"
Do not wait for someone else to walk up to you and drop what you want into your lap.
Let not the poor choices of sinful men make you a couch potatoe!
Put on Mary Ann's sit and be fit...I bet she lets you play some of her things on her website...and if not I think she will after I forward to her this post of support of her program.
You like me who may not be able to leave your home alone without putting GOD to the test...
We can use our computer to encourage others like I am here. You can start be clicking and becoming a public FOLLOWER of this blog as you with me stretch your Faith, stretch your mind...and your hans over your keyboard.
Click the comment buttons and tell me and everyone else how you are stretching your Faith, mind, body to bring about positive change in your neighborhood, community and home!
GOD only requires that with FAITH we take action and do what we can do....
When we do what we can....GOD will do for us what we can do not!
Amen Amen Amen and Alleluia!

My Husband and I Have Been Walking Every Day For About Two Months Now!
My husband began taking me to the mall to walk about two months ago since where we had been living was not safe for me to walk alone.
Not being able to walk in our neighborhood without putting GOD to the test, I was putting pounds back on that at onetime..long ago were not easy to take off.
My husband never having exercised with me in the past...but always being my biggest fan and inspiration...
My Billy-Jacob calling to me to pick-up the pace...becoming a race...3X around each day...
Not only have I dropped some pound and inches...
Now that seasons or changing... I found me a great pair of turquoise colored pants for $3.22 and that included tax...and yes...certainly they are much smaller size tha if we had not begun our walking regiment...
Best of all now my husband feels so invigorated doing something he had never been in the habit of before....
He simply knew that I missed walking...so he took me...and now we both have received bonuses....
We have STRETCHED out our FUN time out together...taking dull days ...wearing blue but refusing to be blue...
CATCHING onto a NEW.....fad and flame has lit beneath HIS wings upon which we fly...REACH and FETCH...
And the best is yet to come...for we shall never quit....regardless where HE takes us....safer neighborhoods simply will mean we shall walk outside instead....
Do like us...and invite a buddy to WALK with you and never be weary...RUN and never faint.....
And with your heart sing and shout and paint your town PINK and RED as HIS BLOOD...for HIS Glory sake!!
STRETCH...CATCH....FETCH...and you will never again feel like a wretch!
