Have You Ever Tried To Type A Story and Have Your Battery Konck Out On You Before You Were Done?

It happens to me every day,,hence why I have not written here since September 3, 2010...

But have no fear...I am determined to finish this one today....


Before the fizzle, and POP and this thing goes black & stops!!

All you & I really need is FAITH of a grain of mustard....

Or as in the case of my dear friend Kathy Mac...who with her very ear hubby Michael...

Live between two corn fields in Northern Georgia...

If one cam muster just a shaving of even a corny corn kernel worth of FAITH...

You can speak to that mountain our field of doubts and problems that only bring strife and stress...

The Lord never said for us to speak or talk about our mountains of problems & pain....

But speak to them to be gone in Jesus Name!!

Have you noticed this thing has not gone black & dark....
But Lord Oh Lord....You have kept me on...

Thank You Lord that you LIGHT & LOVE Shines Forth Upon and Through Me Tonight!

Batteries never included...Faith Drives All Good Things!

Amen Amen Amen & Alleluia!

EstherStephanada....Praying with & for you!

Why is it That So Many Folks Have Difficulty Being Happy Embracing Life as Who They Are and Instead Live Their Lives As a Fictional Somebody?

Subject: Why is it That So Many Folks Have Difficulty Being Happy Embracing Life as Who They Are and Instead Live Their Lives As a Fictional Somebody?

How is it regardless who you meet along most every street... you may have to be acquainted with them a year or more before ever seeing beyond a fictional character that they play day in day out...   On the REAL LIFE STAGE and PLATFORM!


Just every day morning to night from the moment the alarm bell rings!

No wonder so many folks are under slept, under fed, and are often losing their head... SPITTING FIRE from their mouths because...

It takes great effort and hard work to maintain a false life or false image, than to simply be ones smiling, laughing, joyful, happy, and kind encouraging self!

Why protect a false image or fictional person anyway?

What is the pay off for you?  Why do you?


Blessings to you as you embrace your reality that you are a wonderful person and a blessing to know, but only when you are your self!

Each One of Us is Created By GOD For God and So All of Us Are Uniquely Beautiful!

There is no need to put oneself down when speaking kindness to another.

Likewise when giving someone a compliment, wanting to lift their day, if we say something that is not true...
They know it is not true and therefore trying to make a person feel better backfires making them and you embarrassed at the least.

We can all speak kind things that are true without putting anyone else or ourselves down.

And when we put ourselves down we cause others around us to disrespect us and to disrespect themselves.

For there is no such thing as "Fake kindness."

Our words either bring honor or dishonor to others, ourselves and to GOD at once...each time we open our mouth....

 So make sure to wisely choose the words you speak... for it is better to silently love than to speak in a phony way.... a silent loving smile can heal volumes when given sincerely!

Blessings!

Each and Every Person Has The Potential To Turn A MiserableDay Into A Joyous Day For Anyone They Meet and Greet Along Every Street

Regardless if you are old or young.... or somewhere in between....

You can lift another from sadness to joy...

Relieve another's pain by simply giving a smile from your heart even when you are confused or have your doubts.

Singing and smiling are a choice which always brings positive results!

A smile is the only free gift that is immediately joyfully returnable and exchangeable every single time...

Even in your neck of the woods!

It costs you not a thing to try it... so I encourage and implore you to do so!
Solemnly I assure you that when you get in the habit of giving away the free gist of your smile each direction your face ever turns...

You my friend will become happier each time!   For you will receive much more than you give from the hearts of those around you... and make some new friends!

You will not need to search for batteries to hear their new songs....
Songs created by your initial choice to smile and spread joy...

Thus each one has a special task to perform through out their everday of their lives!

Blessings!

Regardless To Who You Are Where you Were Born or To Whom You Were Born To...

GOD Created you uniquely in HIS Own Image!  Now howcould we have been made better than that?
 
  We couldn't be!
   
When we begin to let ourselves feel that we are less than whom GOD created us to be, when we put ourselves down either with our own mouth or just in ourthoughts....

We are actually with our actions saying that GOD is not honorable!

Yet no man woman or child could ever be even as honorable as GOD almighty who IS Love itself!
Who IS Mercy which endures forever... Who IS TRUTH... so how could HE lie and not cease to be Himself!

So please whether you are young or old...  You were created to love and be loved by HIM, my friend!
So let us all live out all of Most HIS Holy Words and let us begin with ....
 "Let The Redeemed of The Lord Say So!"

So all of you anywhere in this world reading and praying this with me...Start singing now... "Let the Redeemed of The Lord... That is Me & That is You... In HIM we can all Sing New Songs and Do All Things!
So Let us begin Singing endlessly...

I Love you Lord and you Love me... together we not only can but we shall always do all things as we sing...
No weapon formed against me shall prosper...not against my person, against my heart or mind...

For YOU Oh Lord have not given me a spirit of fear... but your own heart, mind and body even to eat...
So I sing to You Lord and about you to all... For you have created me and so I can Love myself!"

Yes friends we are all HIS Cany can-can gals and Cany Can-Do young and old men!

Oh never fret over aging.... our age itself gives Glory to GOD... For if we HUSHHHHH don't tell....
We fail to give HIM Glory for the Miracles in our lives!

So sing friends sing!  And you'll never be blue never be blue...    'cause you got HIM, and HE's got you ....  So The Blues will never come to you! ....

WHEN DID YOU LAST FEEL LIKE YOU DID NOT BELONG? DID YOU PUCKER OR TUCKER OUT BECAUSE YOU COULD NOT CARRY YOUR HEART'S LOAD?

All of us have purchased many things where in the fine print...
      Never in bold...  it reads: "Batteries Not Included!"

But if and when you are the one who is not included but excluded...

Or you must watch on when others are unkind to another whether someone you know or like it does not matter...

Do you quietly stand by...  making yourself a paticipant in the exclusion...

Or do you speak out and up for the underdog who is abused or mistreated?

Do you fluff off persons like as expendable as batteries which wear out...

Leaving individuals discouraged or unloved?

In the event of this field trip for only black children...

The black children themselves must have felt something odd about it!

It teaches children of all races, creeds and color... to look at what makes them different instead of teaching them how we all were created by GOD and for GOD to Love and be Loved...

It teaches them to hate which no one is born knowing!

Please click "comment" and share your views, your pain can be used effectively to heal and turn hearts of stone to flesh...

When each of us prayerfully reaches out to draw us all together....

St Paul said to the Greek I am a Greek and to the Jew he was a Jew...  that by finding common ground in all  he could bring Jesus Christ among all

for HE is coming back for a united church... which Loves All!

How are your batteries now?  Need a re-charge?
Pray now!
"Heavenly Father I thank you that you know me, that you love me and that you died for me on a cross!  I thank you that you created me with a purpose you gave no other...

I thank you that you have taken my sin away, that you have healed my disease and that In and Through You and For You I can Do All things! That you are my Savior and for you I shall live everyday!"
Now click the comment button and tell all you have met Our Lord, share your heart how you were broken and now HE has bound you up and raised and carrried you upon HIS own shoulders with Love!
He is the Only Good Shepherd and He will never abandon you but comfort and strengthen you along every par of your journey with and home to HIM...

Never fear... He is with us always!  Amen Amen Amen!

HAVE YOU EVER TRIED TO TURN ON A LIGHT BUT IT WOULD NOT WORK>>>> THEN IN THE fine print IT READ "BATTERIES NOT INCLUDED"

So many things today come brightly packaged saying "Everything you need to...."  to do anything and everything imaginable from lighting up your life to taking photos...  even this thing they call a computer sitting on my lap upon which I am hunt-peck typing...

And often when we get them home... in the fine print literature it says: "10 AAA batteries not included!"

In life however... just as in our toys... not only are the batteries never included... we as people often find ourselves excluded!

Excluded from what appears to be the inside circles...
But we the excluded, do we really want to be included amongst their phoney ventures...

It is so much better and more fullfilling....
      To Remain only In HIM who controls all things...
With and in HIM HIS LIGHT... is the Brightest, the Truest... 

Let us not try to push ourselves into "The In Groupies" whether within churches, synagogues, civic organizations or others!

For HE will exult us HIS humble loving obedient ones.... and The Last will be first .... and the first shall be last!

Our Lord through EstherStephanada!

EVER DECIDE TO PUT ON A NEW YOU>>> GO OUT AND VOLUNTEER TO GET INVOLVED BEING A BLESSING AND WERE TOLD TO GO HOME THAT THEY HAD ALL THEY NEED AND.....

By the way don't bother to come back?   Everywhere there are Clicky Fakey Flakes in control of both churches and civic and charitable groups...

But the masks are begining to flake off...one big giant flake at a time!
Soon and very soon there will be no more darkness within for   which them to hide...
Their wickedness will be apparent to all...
And Soon and very soon there will be no more chances for anyone to CHOOSE HIS BETTER and BEST PART that will never be taken from us...

Soon and very soon there will be no more crying and no more HIS Light will expell all darkness for Eternity and they will have to make a final embrace of either their past wicked ways or repentance and forgiveness and let HIS light both expose and wash away their sinfulness forever and ever... Amen Amen and Alleluia
HIS GLORY REIGNS!

PRISON OVERPOPULATION HAS SOCIAL CAUSES, THEREFORE REQUIRES A SOCIAL SOLUTION!

I remember growing up in New Orleans, Louisiana and at a very young age...  5 years old and noticing how many folks were very kind and friendly when they were in certain public places...
   
In shopping malls, grocery stores, schools... in libraries no one had better even utter a word....
     
But whenever I found myself in secluded places with only one or a few...
Sometimes, many folks who I saw in my everyday life seemed to be a different person in private!

Such folks snickered about the poor behind closed doors amongst those who were of the same cloth...same heart and mind!

They were only kind when they were being observed by many forgetful of HIM above who not only sees all that we do and hears all that we say...
  but HE READS HEARTS that are unspoken whether they be pure or they be filled with filth of deceit, jealousy, prejudices, anger unforgiveness and bitterness...

I recall my mother taking me and my two brothers into the big city for both Carrollton and Okeanos Parades...
      
And watching a policeman handcuff and paddle with his baton...   A HOMELESS MAN WHO WAS HUNGRY...
Straggly and had to be cold for he had no coat and Momma had each of us wrapped up with sweaters, hats and scarves and over coats!

The policeman was arresting this hungry tattered homeless man for sneaking/stealing a lucky hot dog from a vendors cart.

How many of those who were raised from their youth amidst violence would not have ever become violent themselves if all mankind had always been compassionate and kind...
         Like the Good Samaritan who took care of the traveler whom he happened upon along his own journey... who had been robbed and beaten and left to die...

Why was that man who snuck the lucky hot dog that turned pout not to be lucky for him...

Why was he left to starve in the first place?  Where were his brothers and sisters who should have lovingly been feeding him good things all along?

They were all there looking on watching both a Mardi Gras Parades and his arrest as entertainment all at the same time!

EstherStephanada & Billy-Jacob here asking you... What are YOU not your church or your Rotary Club doing...

But what are you doing NOW during This Holy Week to alleviate the suffering of another that GOD can draw both you and 
          them more deeply within himself?
      

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN SOMEWHERE...MAYBE A CHURCH WHERE THEY ASKED FOR VOLUNTEERS... AND THEN SHOWED UP AND WAS TOLD THAT EVERYTHING WAS UNDER CONTROL AND THAT YOU WERE NOT NEEDED?

Have you sought oppertunities to serve in hope to share your abilities, talents, and time with and for others...

Just to be told things by clickish folk who act as they own all things...

"We don't need you..go on home we have it all under control?"

Why do you wonder do they bother to have "Ministry Fairs" to get folks involved if they truely do not want others taking part in WHAT IS THEIR JOB?

So many pray asking GOD for many things... help with repairing their home, guiding a son, or even for things such as a washer and dryer?

I have never seen Jesus.. The Father or HIS Spirit float down on a cloud waving keys to new cars, computers, or batteries to opperate gadgets!

What I have seen and I have heard is GOD send us into others lives to fullfill their needs... that they in turn may at same time fill voids in ourselves or still another who too has had his heart upon his knees.

Yet almost each one whom GOD has sent us to..in order to be a blessing, has  turned us away not realizing that they are saying NO TO GOD and choosing for themselves to not recieve or at best postpone the manafestation of what they both have prayed and dreamed of...

For we ask to be blessed with our hands closed into fists which can never receive or bless but only fight and cause pain and suffering!

So when you find that the blessings you long to bestow onto others will not be received... shake their dust and move on and leave them to Our Lord's chastisement or wrath...

But if you are one who is lonely or in any knid of need...
When you choose to always receive each one you meet... greeting them along every street ... http://MeetAndGreetAlongEveryStreet.blogspot.com/

Choosing to be a Blessing to each one giving them Joyful SonShineySmiles along your way... http://freesonshineysmiles.blogspot.com/

Blessings will always chase you down because you made the choice to treat each one as a sister or a brother!
http://YouCanBeAJacobToo.blogspot.com/

And you will never need to look for batteries for HE will keep you filled with HIS POWER, HIS ANNOINTING....

HIS Graces are enough for us always and are new and fresh each morning and each time wecall HIS name...
And each time we receive a new neighbor... a new friend into our homes and hearts!

Blessings!

EstherStephanada!
