    the One who is and who was,
because you have taken your great power

September has been so good to me.  I completed my Master Life Bible Study and celebrated my birthday in Morocco North Africa and France.

 

While in Morocco I learned that 99% of the population is of Islamic faith .  They pray 5 times a day.  Each time I pulled out my Bible Study and prayed to God.

 

I realize if 99% of Americans prayed  just twice a day to God we could build less prisons .

 

 

On the day of my birthday I decided to be the cheerful giver because God has been so good to me.   As a random act of kindness display the power of Prayer.

While I was being transferred from Newark to LaGuardia the voice of the Pope was being heard on every radio station and loud speaker in New York City. I love the message from Pope Francis. He spoke about the poor and disenfranchised .

Sept. 21, 2014. Pope Francis denounced that extremists around the world are "perverting" religion to justify violence as he arrived Sunday in Albania, a Balkan nation where Christians and Muslims endured brutal religious oppression under communism but today live and work together peacefully

Thank you Pope Francis. To all young people that feel like they need a gang to identify with,KKK and or any white supremacist group or hate that might  hide behind a shield . The Pope said don't use religion to justify violence. Most of these individuals do go to church. I have always wondered what or who they pray to. Idiots!

I agree with Pope Francis. God would not ask you to get on a plane fly half way around the world and chop of someone's head. That's not good.

The entire month of June we will be celebrating Fathers Day. I think it is a great time to celebrate all fathers that have shown a positive impact on parental values in our society.  We will continue with the greatest father of all time God .

Genesis 17

New King James Version (NKJV)

The Sign of the Covenant

17 When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless. ² And I will make My covenant between Me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly.” ³ Then Abram fell on his face, and God talked with him, saying: ⁴ “As for Me, behold, My covenant is with you, and you shall be a father of many nations.

Yes from my point of view He is the Man. He is the Alpha and Omega the beginning and the end.

Hard Working

Jeremiah 13:10New International Version (NIV)

¹⁰ These wicked people, who refuse to listen to my words, who follow the stubbornness of their hearts and go after other gods to serve and worship them, will be like this belt—completely useless!

Wendy Williams

One of the hardest jobs in the world is that of a parent. I know kids you sometimes want to listen to your friends before  your parents.  Listen up ! Put God first and it will make the entire decision process easier.
Williams and her husband apparently caught their son smoking artificial weed while the TV show host was taking a break from filming seasons. The 14-year-old's drug use quickly escalated to the point where he needed medical attention. In a personal on-air moment, the host announced during the "hot topics" portion of Monday morning's show her son had gone to a rehab facility outside of the U.S. and is now healthy and sober.

Thanks

1 Corinthians 1:3-4New International Version (NIV)

³ Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Thanks

⁴ I always thank my God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus.


Yesterday we were reminded how to ask. Today don't forget to say thank you.  Even before it is delivered. Expectation is a test of faith.  When you see children with no  manners like saying please and thank you.  It is safe to say the apple didn't fall far the tree. So you can imagine how many people forget to thank God the source of our supply. If you are not receiving I blame you. No one say's it better than Ledesi.

As a random act of kindness remind someone where they receive their good. Be a Blessing give a Blessing of Thanks!

Follow Jesus

1 Corinthians 4:16-17New International Version (NIV)

¹⁶ Therefore I urge you to imitate me. ¹⁷ For this reason I have sent to you Timothy, my son whom I love, who is faithful in the Lord. He will remind you of my way of life in Christ Jesus, which agrees with what I teach everywhere in every church

Merciful Jesus

God sent his only Son Jesus Christ here on earth to show us the most sensible and right way to go for everlasting love.  The most powerful message Jesus gave us was to love one another and as a disciple pass that message on.  Thank You Jesus.

Over the past few weeks we have seen many groups like ISIS displaying hate. One gentleman Donald Morgan from
North Carolina was trying to travel half way around the world to join ISIS. He stated as a practicing  Muslim, Allah directed him to ISIS. Either Mr. Morgan has lost it or his comprehension is off. 
Who would pass up the opportunity to follow Jesus. God is all good and all love.  He would not ask you to chop off someone's head stupid!

As a random act of kindness remind someone we have many choices and paths to take. Jesus is a loving safe way to travel.  Be a Blessing give a Blessing!

Boy, 11, Fatally Shoots Teenage Intruder During Home Invasion

An 11-year-old St. Louis-area boy fatally shot a 16-year-old who entered his home during an alleged home invasion Thursday, police said.
Two people had approached the home twice before Thursday, and on the third attempt entered the house through the front door, police said. The 11-year-old who lives in the home shot the 16-year-old intruder in the head, St. Louis County police said in a statement.

Why was the 16 yr old performing this act of crime?

A Woman's Work

Isaiah 66:13 says -- As one whom his mother comforts, So I will comfort you. And, you will be comforted all over Jerusalem

Growing up I had many mothers in my life. Aunts, Cousins, Neighbors, Teachers -- were always mothering me. I learned something from each of them (cross your legs, stand up straight, say please and thank you). Being an older Mom -- I thought long and hard about the type of mother that I wanted to be.  My cousin would say thats the "Virgo" in me. Always planning and always thinking!

I recall a conversation with my OB years ago. I told her my baby had to be born in September (so we could be Virgos) and have a hebrew name. She laughed and said that I would teach my baby many things and that he would teach me to be patient. Well, he was born Oct. 1 as a Libra, ha, ha. In fact, Mothering HAS taught me to be patient. I parent via text, via phone, and via discipline and with patience. My greatest reward is that my sons honor God and treat others with dignity and respect. My greatest fear is that someone will disrespect them. All else can be fixed, changed

My friends always comments that I'm a "good mom, good mom!" My sister says "I'm a good mom -- given my limited resources." But, honestly, I don't feel extraordinary. I stress education, family and God  because knowledge is power and the cost of a limited education can hurt us all.

This is my cousin Caroline. Caroline is outstanding  mom. We both learned from our parent's you do not need to spend the most money to teach your kids basic life skills. Quality time is essential. Last week Caroline's son  David wrote a blog talking about his life skills he learned from Perdue University. David stated management of money , time and respect was important. Daniel,David and Jason Luv you!

Motherhood is the most important job in the world. Labor really begins at birth until young adulthood.


As a random act of kindness hug a mother that you come in contact with today! Be a blessing -- give a blessing of wisdom to a young mother.

Peace

Psalm 120

Come to me

A song of ascents.

¹ I call on the Lord in my distress,
    and he answers me.
² Save me, Lord,
    from lying lips
    and from deceitful tongues.

³ What will he do to you,
    and what more besides,
    you deceitful tongue?
⁴ He will punish you with a warrior’s sharp arrows,
    with burning coals of the broom bush.

⁵ Woe to me that I dwell in Meshek,
    that I live among the tents of Kedar!
⁶ Too long have I lived
    among those who hate peace.
⁷ I am for peace;
    but when I speak, they are for war.


I know parents over the past month we have covered many what if situations concerning our kids.  Many good, bad and ugly.  Parents we can never stop speaking about Jesus Christ's truth teachings. Theses messages should be planted in our family's thoughts.  When approach with the idea of joining ISIS it will be a no brainer to follow Christ teachings.

Dream

Psalm 126

A song of ascents.

¹ When the Lord restored the fortunes of^[a] Zion,
    we were like those who dreamed.^[b]

Jasmine Lawrence was 11 years old when a bad relaxing perm caused her hair to fall out. "It was embarrassing, it was traumatic, it was totally shocking to me," Jasmine told "The Oprah Show" back in 2007. "It got to the point where I only had hair on the top of my head. So, I was braiding it down to cover up this area where I had no hair."
 
From then, she vowed to never use harsh chemicals on her hair again. Jasmine researched how to create her own all-natural hair products and it wasn't long before the teen named herself CEO and founder of EDEN BodyWorks, her own product line

Today, Jasmine is 23 years old. "Oprah: Where Are They Now?" caught up with her recently to find out how she and her company have been doing since first appearing on "The Oprah Show.
The company is reportedly worth 2 million dollars, but Jasmine says the money hasn't changed much in terms of her lifestyle. "I don't live as if I was a millionaire," she says with a laugh. "I have a normal phone. I drive a car that's from 2008 that I'm still making payments on, I'm paying my own college tuition -- just normal things so I can have the regular experiences of life."

Expectations

Expect the best and God will deliver the rest.   Yes that is called Faith.

Psalm 5:3New International Version (NIV)

³ In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice;
    in the morning I lay my requests before you
    and wait expectantly

 

Expectations began when God revealed the 10 commandments.  As parents we have a moral and spiritual obligation to pass this on to our children.
 

 

As parents we must set educational moral and spiritual expectations for  our children. Our ancestors realize the need to achieve from slavery thru the industrial age.
