Accomplishing the dream...

We look ahead to the future for happiness, letting life slip through our fingers. Will we feel complete when the task is done or look back on how we missed so much fun? Self-exhausted and we cant see a thing, hurting those we love as well as ourselves. We have so much to be grateful for, but are we willing to open the door? Too frequently others see whats in front of our face, but were to blind to look as we're ready to race. Is this what life should be about? Money, fortune, fame or a big house? Family, love, friendship and laughter are what we should seek. Everything else will fall in its place so there's no need to compete....

Lets not take anything for granted

I wanted to take a moment today to send this message to everyone out there that has the ability to access a computer or email. Sometimes we don’t realize how blessed we truly are. We underestimate our lives and situations and don’t take the opportunity to be thankful for each and every moment we take a breath. So if you feel you are going through some trials and tribulations right now, there are other going through worse. So take a moment of silence and pray for those that may be going through worse, give praise for each and every blessing you have received so far, and stay focused and on the right path because the next day is not promised. You don’t want to miss out on what God has in store for us over a minor obstacle. A friend of mines sent this to me this morning and I wanted to spread the word.

Keep the prayer going....
Lord, I just want to say THANK YOU, because this morning I woke up and knew where my children were. Because this morning my home was still standing, because this morning I am not crying because my husband, my child, my brother or sister needs to be buried out from underneath a pile of concrete, because this morning I was able to drink a glass of water, because this morning I was able to turn on the light, because this morning I was able to take a shower, because this morning I was not planning a funeral, but most of all I thank you this morning because I still have life and a voice to cry out for the people of Haiti. Lord I cry out to you, the one that makes the impossible, possible, the one that turns darkness in to light, I cry out that you give those mothers strength, that you give them peace that surpasses all understanding, that you may open the streets so that help can come, that you may provide doctors, nurses, food, water, and all that they need in a blink of an eye. For all those that have lost family members, give them peace, give them hope, give them courage to continue to go on! Protect the children and shield them with your power.
I pray all this in the name of Jesus!!!
To all my friends please continue to forward this so that we can pray together for the people in Haiti.
We here are truly blessed!!!!!

this was really deep......it gives me something to think about when im complaining about things that are not really important. i helps me realize that the little things are so much more important, such as being able to take a shower this morning and knowing that all three of my children and my husband is healthy and safe.these are the things that matter......
