Stretch Your Lovin Towards Each One You Meet & Greet That You Be Not Blue For HE Has Over Come This & That Too!

Greetings Dawlins of ours!!!

Stretch forth your love & Faith as you stretch out your legs along HIS path upon which HE has placed you leading you both to & through the narrow gate into life...

What ever hovers over you trying to steal HIS joy from you...

The sun of the Son shall shine forever more through anything that makes me or you blue...For when we have HIM & HE has me & you...

There is absolutely not a thing we must do alone.....we need not be strong...
But let HIM who is in you and in me...who longs to free of from all bondage and pain...

HE will lift and heal us of all things when we choose not catch the hum drum negative tunes of those who prefer darkness over HIS light and life which following HIS Ten Commandments wil always bring us...

The Lord Himself yearns to take upon HIS own shoulders all that weighs any and all of you, me, and my Puddin Head Precious William...

But HE is a gentleman who will never force HIS will our desire upon us...
We must reach out to HIM ask in trust and actually give our sorrows, fears....our joys and laughter too...
To HIM...

As St Francis says:  Cast your care upon HIM for HE cares for me and you...

So you and we need not fear but remain free indeed in, with & though HIM the only friend who is forever Faithful and never makes mistakes...

 HE knew long before now that this too would come....
And this too shall pass...

And at last...HE will raise us onto HIS Holy Wings of fire and with great love 
HE shall carry us above and upon these clouds of our circumstance...

It is never up to us do do anything but obey and and follow....
We are called to be believers not achievers...

Obedient followers of HIS leadership...
Not the leader... less we shall slip...
But rather a soul who invites many to follow HIM...

Less they become lost...
Fall and go down into pits laid as traps for us....or even traps and prisons of our own making.

And this is what gives us freedom...
If we are not doing our own thing but HIS...

Whoever or whatever foils our plans....happens so that HIS commands have the opportunity to trample the enemy again and again Amen!

William's hernia far worse needs surgery...surgical consult scheduled for Wednesday at hospital surgical office where his outside VA oncologist is.

Yes he was stretching himself beyond what he should...had he not tried doing it all...the hernia he...we would never had to endure.

William is believing God, praying for a MIRACULOUS healing of not only the tumor which has definitely already shrunk....
But of the hernia too that he not have to undergo the hernia surgery.

I keep saying he must keep Wednesday's appointment since even when God heals...one must go to the doctor to confirm the MIRACLE or risk losing the MIRACLE.

I am still washing everything by hand and packing our van with most all of our belongings....except for our mattress so that if the evil one continues to illegally enter there will be nothing of value for them to steal.

Things will never have a hold on our hearts...
But the fact things have been stolen...
Is proof that an evil one is physically prowling our dwelling/

And we must take care medications... papers with personal information whether medical, social Security....whatever....are never left here...never want to put God to the test to protect us from an enemy HE has made known to us.

Preparing to embrace tent camping still again on November 30, 2013.
We are grateful God yearns to have us again to Himself in HIS parks where solitude with HIM is both peaceful and relaxing.

William needs help in the bathroom, dressing etc....not because of the tumor which is improved...but the hernia which he would not have had he allowed me to do our lifting and carrying on Art Stroll Day October 5, 2013.

Each of you....each of you are so so precious....precious... precious!

Whether you are among the few here in the United States who have chosen to receive our hearts within yours...or if you are among  the many in different parts of Europe, Asia, India and Africa...or upon islands or any where around this earth who have loved us for years over the Internet...

Or if you are finding us for the first time...
I invite you to become a FOLLOWER through Friend Connect on this page...and write us through Postal Mail at address bellow...

Love & Blessings to you!

Lets never get discouraged but instead encourage one another...our sisters and brothers...
Let us never compete with our friend, sister or brother...
But instead seek to assist our friend along his our her journey...

Making our own journeys a shared journey...
For it is not about getting to a finish line first...

But making certain that we go through the narrow gates with care together that not one trips without being lifted up and carried upon our shoulders...

For we are to be imitators of HIM Jesus Christ.

We are not to be seeking to be the first to finish...but to bring with us many souls along with us who also cross the finish line safely & securely through the narrow gate to salvation in heaven forever together forever.

Let not one be lost....imitate HIM HE already paid the cost that you and I need not be the best...but the last to cross the finish line after making certain that each one whom HE has given us...placed on our path needy of friendship, love, compassion or any good physical or spiritual thing...

Sing Sing Sing....New songs of joy & thanksgiving and all living will therefore be full filling our hearts and HIS plans for all to eternity.

Amen Amen Amen....dear friends!

When Others Press You Back & Down.... Stretch Your Faith and Your Body...Refuse to break!

We can all fall as victims of negative thinking...
Especially if the only persons around you are not happy in their own lives.

Some folks no one can please....because they actually enjoy being disagreeable.
It is a fact that some folks weirdly get a high of some kind when ever they successfully divide...
Divide anyone...a husband from his wife...son from his father and or his brother...

And even within churches... leaders who are typically self appointed, dress vulgarly and therefore lead others including youth to live as they do...dressing in tight sexually explicit clothing...leading them to delve into promiscuous behaviors...

You & I nor our children need to follow along with this crowd...that is...
Those who choose to live self-righteously, lustfully, and sinfully.

It will not be easy to completely shield thy eyes from every single person who dresses distastefully.

But we can make choices that limit the amount of time that we are in such public places.
Instead of exercising at a gym or health club where it has always been acceptable to wear skimpy coverings while "Working out"  hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Choose instead to stretch and tone your body in your home or even your prayer room...
Stretch...your muscles and body to soft gentle worship music at the start of each new day...
Before you set off for work and or play.

And at the end of each day after much travel up and down trails of trials and tribulations...
Why not end your day the same way with soft soothing stretching to worship & praise tunes of joy...

And the fear or despair that tries to attach itself to even me...has no choice but to evaporate or dry and rise.

Amen Amen Amen...Friends keep on smiling!   Stretching Catching and Fetching...
God's goodness, joy and life!

"Catch a Fall'n Star And Put It In Your Pocket....Save It For A Rainy Day!"

As a very young child though not certain my exact age...
I learned that song.

Cannot recall where I first heard it...
Oh it may have been on a children's television program...

Possibly Captain Kangaroo or Romper room that came on television just before him.

Since the Captain was the one who had "Mr. Drawing board" where an unseen person was drawing on something from its backside....

So all you could see was the artists drawing or painting coming to life but the creator of this art remained unseen.

So it is with our human lives so frail....
What we cannot see such as funguses among us that can in many cause serious disease.

Yet within our societies which we live in exist people whose choices have turned themselves into parasites of a kind...

That can actually gradually tear down not merely the physical human body making it sick...
But negativity, un-constructive criticism that teaches nothing...that does not turn one away from anything dangerous but is merely vindictive in nature..

Too many of these personalities exist today and possibly a few of them if they meet you today...
Few may if they meet you and you teach them to wear blue without being blue...

They just may catch your bright SonShiney Smile into their heart....
A Bright Star which they can carry not merely in their pocket but within their heart's soul and....
Like you & me always sing new songs in spite of our circumstances...

Sing praises to God for our dreams now as if they already exist...
And HE sitting up high upon the heavenly throne watching waiting and listening for even one just one to sing and shout with a mere mustard dustin of trustin...asking until they receive....seeking HIS Holy Face from morning till dusk with simple trust...and soon very soon....HE will perform...

All that we dare to boldly dare to see with Jeremiah eyes & sing praise for....and continue singing HIS praises even after...

HE chases us down with MIRACLES and more MIRACLES with much joy and laughter...

All because we daringly stretched forth our love and FAITH to HIM and our neighbors
Our great catch is far more than "fallen stars or heroes" but the essence of fullness of life itself!


STRETCH! 
              
                 STRETCH! 

                            CATCH & FETCH!

Sunday, July 21, 2013

Whether You Have Painful Knees.....Nor Even A Home With A Roof Above Thy Head....You Cany Can Can Stretch Fetch And Catch...and Be Healthy!

Even if you live in a tent, you can be healthy,  find work, as you exercise ....Stretch, fetch and catch good things in the midst of all that is unkind...in spite of those who may vandalize all that you own...

As one day we returned to our tent in Tickfaw State Park to have found our tent vandalized...and our van too on another occasion as we slept in an apartment at another time & place...

It is a choice to be blue over such lost persons whose lives must be awfully boring and empty to take a screw driver to another's vehicle & remove                                                                                         the screw or bolt that holds the tail light in....

                                                                                   Or we can wear blue instead!

Wherever you sleep...under the stars in a park or between sheets in a bed...you too refuse to be blue and stretch your Faith as you reach for your toes stretching your arms back & legs before you close your eyes at night and you too will sleep better.

Do the same as you wake in the beautiful morn of HIS dawn and your brain will excrete good things you do not have to become scientifically educated about...simply start your day stretching your body & your Faith together at the same time and you will feel better as you wait upon HIM to make foot stools of your enemies who strut their shameful trivial behaviors!

Amen Amen Amen and Alleluia!

In June My Husband & I Joined The County Senior Center In Kannapolis..Now we are Stretching...Catching and Fetching Much More!

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!



For the first time in all these married

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!

Oh Linda Darling!! Stretch Catch Fetch Play..have fun..never be glum..let HIM workout for you!! HAAAAHAAAAA


Date: Fri, Sep 10, 2010 at 11:34 AM

Oh Linda Darling!! I wrote to you on the blogs... Now Stretch Catch Fetch Play..have fun..never be glum..let HIM workout for you!! HAAAAHAAAAA

Linda Holland Invinci Momma of Grace King!


Hello Linda!


Yes we can have much on our plates to pull us this way and that...but we need not ever let it all pull or push us out of shape!

Remember, that what we do on our own...not letting HIM do for and through us is never worth much....

And HE not only gives us our plates...but HE has chosen to be our main course meal.... but we must choose to both receive HIM and eat HIM...

And then, it does not matter who created which wheel nor which we ride upon.....just as long we let HIM be our driver...our our pilot upon HIS wings we can lean back, relax and enjoy our flight through our trails of challenges that never become trials nor grave stones but stepping stones and HIS many accomplishments which we can remember but never look back to...

But keep our eyes above that our future becomes brighter and brighter without withering but only more fruitful and bountiful and it all both begins and continues with our choices....
Which stretch, Catch Fetch and toss HIS Light and Glory to new friends...as we lead many along our Giggly-Wiggly Way to and with HIM!!

Amen Amen Amen & Alleluia!

EstherStephanada!





Remember you are "INVINCI MOMMA but not because of who you are but WHO HE IS IN YOU!!!

Thank you Linda for your kind words!

I am glad GOD uses me to inspire some... you!

All things are possible....not only possible, nor merely probable....

But HE makes them our reality when we keep our hearts upon our knees and seek HIM before we begin all things!

When you or I get overly exhausted.... It is because we have chosen to "Do It Ourselves"  Not allowing HIM to carry the burden...
We simply go through the motions...but let's let HIM do the REAL WORK the heavy lifting!

And when we ask and allow HIM to do it all for us & through us....  and give HIM ALL of the credit....

We can assume that how it turns out even when not what we had hoped... that for some reason IT IS HOW HE wants it.....  so relax knowing it is up to HIM... HIS responsibility not ours to make appropriate changes!

Regardless of outcome...we never need be disappointed nor glum...
We have enjoyed a ride upon HIS wings and been a part of HIM doing all things!


Sing New Songs All Day Long and watch your joy rise higher...  as you stretch catch and fetch and pass HIS Fire to others!

Blessings! 

EstherStephanada!

Hi Stephanie,

Just have time for a quick note in response to your emails of yesterday.  Wow! It is great that you have found so many teachers!  I did not know where anyone was, I remember Mr Turner from Grace king, but not Mrs. Turner.  Mr. Turner was so nice, I loved him. Whenever I thought I was going to be in trouble with a teacher I could go to him and he would always tell me not to worry that whatever it was would work out.  He was nice.  Wasn't he our disciplinarian? I can't remember, and my books are put away on a shelf right now... I'm getting ready to head to Daytona for work.  

I remember Mr. Ordoynne but I don't think I had him.  My teachers are no longer there, I had Mr. Coon, Mr. Skorlich for sciences, and Mr. Lively and Miss Oliva for spanish.... English I remember Mrs. Owens, and someone else... I remember Mr. Naquin, but I never had him as a teacher, but he was the best.  Mr. Hawkins was in my hall, Mrs. Miller, for Civics... And then I had teachers who's names I just don't remember.  Oh, Mr. Sullivan was my favorite History teacher, though.  And I rememeber not liking my PE teacher Mrs. Colar.  Really there were not many teachers there that made an impact on me except my science and history teachers, and if I liked someone.... Oh, and Mr. Haufpauer, the librarian... Since I spent a LOT of time in the library my junior and senior year.... Especially my Senior year.  

Anyway, I have to get to to work, I have a lot to do, I'm trying to coordinate services for an individual and arrange some interviews with service providers, and also I have a medicaid issue that I have to take care of for another individual.
Today is a busy day.  Thank you so much for the inspirational poem you sent.  I printed it out and hung it on my bulletin board beside me so when I start to stress I can look at that, sit back and take a moment to lay it all at God's feet, and relax then get back to work!

Much love and big hugs!
Linda



On 9/10/10 8:28 AM, "Stephie Gustavson"

Hi Linda,

I was not able to get into that loud heavy metal electric, and yelling not singing.

So I put EWTN on for a while & TWC but did not even keep either of them on the entire night.

I turned TV off and listened to soft quiet music and worked online searching out several things you & I have talked about last week.

I found that Girard Playground has a website and I found email addresses for coaches etc.

I will write a couple of women this morning who volunteer there these days.

Mrs Kathleen Turner taught me both at JQA & GK and still teaches at GK...I wrote her last night.

Mrs Fuegi wrote me late yesterday afternoon.

I found a Facebook page where many students whom I knew were chiming in about remembering Mrs Dunaway... (I recall Faye was her first name)
Mr Levy Mrs Charron  Mr Odoyne etc etc.

I found a memorial board for former students of Shaw HS it listed Gary Ordoyne as having graduated either 1964 or prior and being listed on this board meant he has died....but the date of his death was not listed.

You know I was not able to write my former classmates not having a Facebook.... 

I will forward Ms Fuegi's note... she mentioned Mrs Owens did not keep in touch with her.

I went on Covington High website since she said Jay Naquin moved there and she had heard he was teaching there...   but the two teachers with same last name had different first names...  but I will write  the woman...  I think "Donna" today also.

Blessings!

EstherStephanada!

STRETCH YOUR FAITH>>> YOUR MONEY AND>>>> YOUR TIME>>>

So many folks today are very quick to say that they do not have time to pray...

Have not time for their families or time for any kind of play...

But it is when we GIVE GOD the First Fruits of our Day....
In our first awakened moments as we lift our head from the night's sleep...
Praising HIM... with Gladness....  that HE will in turn not only fill our hearts with a New Song to carry us along through the New Day's challenges...

Starting our Day with HIM... HE makes us more productive and thus our time is STRETCHED...That we may CATCH HIS Blessings and FETCH more to share with others....

For those who seek to Be a Blessing to others, are always
Chased Down by more....  Like a Continuous river whose banks overflow!

SO STRETCH YOUR FAITH!

                    STRETCH YOUR FUNDS!

STRETCH YOUR MIND AND YOUR TIME....  

Obeying & Trusting GOD, you will not ever have to beg for dimes!

TODAY I MET CHRISTE ... WELL NOTFACE TO FACE>>> BUT THROUGH CYBER-SPACE LIKE YOU & I PPLAY PEEKEY BOO INTO EACH OTHERS LIVES!

Today as I updated some of my own blogs... writing to announce the need for my husbands Carpentry teaching program in all male prisons across the most wonderful USA of ours...

My back was aching a bit... just as it is NOW!! You know what I am talking about....
For if you blog half as much as I do....

YOU LIKE ME ARE NOT GETTING ENOUGH EXERCISE!
WE ARE SITTING IN ONE PLACE TOO LONG!!

Well after posting a few new ones today, I Clicked NEXT BLOG a few times!

And what did I behold but precious, Christie pushing me to DO WHAT I LOVETO DO... but have not enough for quite some time!!!  http://stiesthoughts.blogspot.com/

THATS RIGHT: MOVE IT! MOVE IT MOVE IT!! GET UP AND SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE YOUR BOOTY DOnT Just Sit ON IT and be a POTTSIE!

The Cunninghams were lots of fun to watch while young... but we need not be couch potatoes turned pillowed tomatoes to be crushed with heart attacks!

Lets Get up off our Duffs and Stretch Toss Catch and Fetch... Throw away the Remote Control!!

Do that while hubby is at work... and when he asks about it say: "HAVE NO CLUE!"

If we must cross the room to change the channels like we did.... way back.... I am sure you folks remember when nothing was push button but turning timer knobs!!

Now back then none of us thought that turning knobs was hard!

STRETCH YOUR MUSCLES... YOUR MONEY.... YOUR HEART OVER HILLS AND PLAINS WITH LOVE

It is a NO BRAINER!!!  When we stretch or bodies muscles we FEEL BETTER...  Our Brain releases endorphins giving us New Vibrant Sheer Energy!!!


Lifting Our Spirits lifting our hearts as our bodies get healthier.

Like wise when we stretch every dollar, making it produce as much as possible...

Spending not anymore than neccesary for each item...
We know Jesus grieved over waste... for HE made those tired weary apostles who had not eaten or slep for three days, work feeding the multitudes... remember "Have them sit in groups of 50"  and if not serving 5000 was not enough hours put in hungry themselves....

Can you see them trying to sneak a few morsels of fish & bread in their own mouths as they went along with Jesus feeding other men???

Jesus sais: "Pick up the fragments that there be NO WASTE!!!"   And they gathered 12 baskets of tiny pieces...  crumbs... have you ever watched a child eat... more falls to the floor or ground than they can get into their moth and down!

So when we give back to GOD the First Fruits of our labors... with at least a 10% tithe which assures meat in our house always... and give offerings above and beyond with a sincere heart wanting to bless others...  that extra is what GOD Promises to multiply back to us.... as we name those seeds prayerfully... so HE KNOWS WHAT it is we are planting for...

And we water our seed with spoken prayers...  asking GOD tp prosper not just us... but those we gave to...

We then are stretching... Casting Our Bread upon Living Waters and and it will come back multipled in furure days!

So as we do all this, let us also keep a net ready in our hands that we may Cast it out and draw in THE BIGGER CATCH... 
And a scicle that we may cut down and haul in Our Abundant Harvest in Due Season!

A harvest that will generate also an abundance os souls to HIS Kingdom through the Love which You & I first gave away...
HIS Harvest is Never Over... but Keeps on Overflowing....
Through generous smiling hearts like yours and ours!!

GOD BLESS YOU ABUNDANTLY ALWAYS!!
Amen Amen Amen & Alleluia!
