Good morning and happy "tank fillin' day" to each of you, I pray that you are touched by the spirit today and that your tank if filled to the brim so that you have enough to get you through every hill and valley, every twist and turn, and every road that might lead you into darkness without that tank full to drive you out! Don't forget that yesterday is gone, never to come again....tomorrow is not promised so you must live in this day...a very wise man sent this to me yesterday...so very true....
If you are anxious, you are living in the future
"If you are depressed, you are living in the past
If you are happy, you are living in the present"
I have to remember that, sometimes. Waiting for life to happen is a mistake. Choose to be happy in this moment.
Each day I sign my blog share on face book with "onward and upward and never looking back" I have to remind myself sometimes that I cannot change the happenings of yesterday, I cannot predict the events of tomorrow all I can do is live this very moment being the best I can be, all I can do is love madly and dance....if I stumble all I need to remember is that God is standing right there to pick me up, dust me off, and gently push me in the right direction...
Now if you will come and lift prayers with me for two very special families it would be much appreciated...
A very dear friend of mine became a grandma for the second time yesterday to a beautiful little angel, named Maryann, we prayed over her last night asking God to fill her with health, to allow her a life of unconditional love, to allow her to grow in a home where there are Christian values and teachings, and to allow her to be a woman who walks in the faith, trust, and belief of our Father in Heaven. Welcome to the world Maryann, you have been entrusted into the hands of a loving, caring, and kind mommy and daddy and will be loved beyond measure until the end of days!
It is a dreary day here in Utah, the skies are hazy and the smell of rain is overwhelming, the temps have once again dipped down and it is reported that it will remain cold and rainy for the next few days....Today's weather is a symbol as to how my heart is feeling. Yesterday my Aunt Gwen and her daughter Carrie flew to Arizona to be present at a memorial service for my cousin Walt, a man taken so young from the ravages of cancer. My Aunt and cousin have been strong and have been so supportive to Walt's wife Connie, please if you will think of them today as they say "until we see you again" Let the actions of Walt the last few months of his life be erased from their memories to be replaced with memories of youth, of love, of compassion and of happiness. We never know how the news of terminal illness will affect us, I only pray that if you have been diagnosed with a terminal illness that you seek love and joy in the end of your life, that you accept the diagnosis, that you fight a good fight in overcoming and that you realize first and foremost that the ones who are rallying around you are the ones who love you the most. Don't allow anger to consume you, don't push your loved ones away, take that time in your life to lavish them with your heart, to tell them things that you should have told them at some point in your lives but neglected to, make peace with anyone who you have been at war with and don't take pettiness, anger, or any other negative to the grave with you. It hurt the ones left behind so much more, it leaves them with a hurt in their hearts that leaves scars that are irreversible. Today I pray for my Aunt, my cousins, and Walt's wife that they are being overcome with memories of the good times, with memories of Walt's smiles, of his laugh, and of his love.
Rest in Peace my cousin!
Father in heaven, as one door closed another opens, we give thanks to you always for blessing us with your unconditional love and your never ending dedication to each and every one of us. Father bless my aunt and cousin, and his wife as they say goodbye to my cousin, a brother, a son, and a husband, allow them to feel your love around them and that Walt is no longer in pain nor filled with anger, allow them to feel his spirit so that they know in their hearts that he is walking the golden path to stand at your side. Father bless this new baby with unconditional love and knowledge that no matter what happens in her lifetime that you will never leave nor forsake her, fill her parents with patience and calm as they go through life, teaching her the difference between right and wrong and always sharing your love with her. In the name of Jesus Christ we ask for mercy, favor, abundant blessings and of course your love always...Amen.
