Thought Provoking

As a family we attend church each weekend on Saturday nights and on Sundays. Our daughter whom is 5 years of old loves church. She loves hanging out with all the other kids, singing songs, doing arts and crafts and just playing and having fun. Over the last five years she has spent basically every weekend in church and looks so forward to each weekend.

As a parent I can share that this has been a very positive influence on her life. I'm so happy that we as a family attend church services every week because I can see the fruit of that in my daughters life. If your a parent who hasn't attended church, consider attending. Your entire family will be blessed. Especially your children.

As children we dream some huge dreams, That's OK. Yet somewhere along the line we are suppose to grow out of cartoon land. Some do, and some don't. Occationally it's good to watch a good old cartoon, read a great fantasy or watch some strange movies. Yet and again, reality calls.

Have you ever pondered your dreams, the creativity and how your mind creates places, people, and things you've never seen or done before?

Remember back when oil was $180.00 a barrel. It's down to what $50.00 a barrel these days. So where are the savings at the pump? Do you see them? I sure don't. Oil drops over $130.00 a barrel and the pump price drops .50 to .75 cents a gallon. Do you see something here?

On another topic, the Iraq war. How much money has the American Citizen paid for that war? and even greater, when do we get paid back for liberating the country? Yes another topic, here, The Bail Out situation. So the American Citizen bails out all these multi billion dollar corporations? That makes us stock holders. Did you get your stock certificate? I didn't either and I also didn't get a invitation to those $300,000.00 plus parties they threw.

Meanwhile millions and millions are without jobs, have lost their homes or soon will. Great mathematics. Geeze, the blogging world operates more efficiently.

How many megs can one's brain hold before the memory chips clog up. Occasionally, we must clear the clutter out and come down from the high altitudes of our own thoughts and find reality. Otherwise, the families always running for cover, the dogs batting it's head against the walls and we lose track of what we were trying to accomplish.

Blink!

Do you sometimes feel as if you have bad luck? Cars breaking down, automobile accidents, headaches, illnesses, and family problems? Maybe your days and life are ruled by frustrations, anxiety, fears, thoughts gone wild, or maybe true happiness just seems to escape you.

There is a scripture in the Bible that basically says "we reap what we sow".

Don't train wreck others, don't add frustration to the lives of others, don't sow seeds of destruction into other families, don't bring frustrations upon others, or create anxiety in their life, or fear and it's quite possible, these things will leave you. We do, we reap what we sow.

Sow love, honesty, truth, integrity, peace, compassion, mercy and good things into the lives of others and be blessed.

If you want to find happiness and success in life, start with keeping you're promises. Broken promises are like wounds cast upon others that bring infections back upon you.

Have you ever encountered a situation when someone owed you money that they promised to give to you, yet you never received it. Or maybe someone promised to take care of another matter, yet that too never came to pass. Next think you know, the person does everything they can to avoid you. That's because they don't want to be held accountable. They are hoping it will just go away.

What they don't realize is that they are accountable and their actions or shall we say non actions will catch up with them and many times they will be multiplied back upon them in other areas of their life. You see, we all reap what we sow and if we sow dishonesty and broken promises, we will reap the fruit of such things.

Have you ever noticed how sometimes people's true colors shine through and the colors are the complete opposite of what they wanted you and others to think about them? Only to realize that you have been handed a continuous flow of deception and lies? It amazes me how some people use and abuse others basically to make up for their own miserable worthless lives. Many times you can even see the fruits of such people in their children do to the dysfunctional family and dysfunctional family lifestyle. It's sad because their lives are filled with endless scares, headaches, and metal illnesses and the affects upon the children lead to emotional problems, anger management problems, guilt, shame, embarrassments, and they become disconnected from reality.

Know this, they do not go un noticed and while they think they have pulled the wool over the eye's of many, in time, they will be exposed. You see, those who cast evil and wickedness upon others in the end become ensnared in their own ways. Life becomes endlessly painful for them, they continue to encounter emotional, mental and even health problems that soon overtake them. It's really sad to see a life and the lives of others waste away and decay like that. It's a long, slow and very painful death, yet death is withheld from them.

There is no peace, saith the LORD, unto the wicked.

There are big fish and small fish in the oceans of life. Many times we set out for the big catches and end up with sardines rather than tuna. Yet even as a child we must learn how to catch the minnows before we attempt to catch the big ones. We learn from the process of starting with small things when we are small. Sometimes we see ourselves as giants with great capabilities. Sometimes we see ourselves as that which we are not or shall I say have not arrived at or accomplished yet. Now don't get me wrong, that's not to say that we all can't find and become successful. However it is to say that we must work at success, earn success, cultivate success and become successful before we lay claim to it. Oh, and by the way, quitting is not in the formula.

Success is sometimes like threading a needle. It requires pin point accuracy.

It is good to dream about success, however it is better to find success. One way to find success is to open you're eye's and get your focus off yourself. Another way to find success is to invest in the lives of others without using them and abusing them along the way. You see, when you do what is good and right, success will find you.

I encountered a dream last January. There was this man and he appeared to be like a professor. At least he thought he was. He had all his books and papers in front of him on a table. He was speaking as if to a large crowd. In front of the man were rows and rows of chairs. The chairs were all empty, yet the man continued with his speech as if all the chairs had people sitting in them. The man was speaking and teaching to empty chairs. It was only a dream.

What colors does your character and personality give off? Are you a beautiful rainbow or a headache? Are your colors full or transparent? Do people like you or put up with you? Do people enjoy you or walk away wondering if you're all there. Do you see yourself as beautiful colors while others see you as colorless?
