Many of Those Who Are In Prison Today....

Many folks who find themselves in prisons today did not go through their entire lives dishonestly.

Many simply could not learn by the traditional school house teaching methods....

Not only could they not progress in their learning...

Their inability to learn made them out casts from their piers.

When a boy grows into a man without a friend, nor skills with which he can apply himself...
He not only has no hobbies, no friends....
   No ability to find gainful employment.... What is for him?

These make up a group who almost always finds themselves in trouble...but this is a group who can be guided and directed.

They simply need more hands on personal teaching and mentoring...Most through their young years were only told what "they can't do" and never shown what they can in such a way they can understand.

http://thecarpentersfriend.com/  believes that many in jails and prisons whom society has forgotten, but their tax dollars house, clothe and feed them... can when taught a skill such as carpentry, can become law abiding tax paying contributors to their communities.

And most young men who seem to be in trouble often may only need a friend...a mentor.

Have You Ever Attended a Function of Any Kind Hoping To Find Others You Can Regularly Bless Only To Find....

We need not stay home in the blues regardless what kind of news has been presented to me or you...

We can choose lots of things and not let other's drab positions stifle our hearts from reaching out and reaching up!

When we choose to STRETCH CATCH AND FETCH.... not only will our bodies muscles be healthy and feel great...  http://stretchcatchandfetch.blogspot.com/

Our positive attitudes will inspire some...yet others will refuse to let you lift them out of their sour-puss mode that allows them to speak arrogantly justifying themselves...while using the same sentence to put you down...possibly get you ejected.

Remember those who waste time only complaining about those who are cheery givers not complainers....say nothing of the person they are complaining about but merely volumes about themselves.

Simply humbly let them say whatever they say holding your head high for soon and very soon not many days...
You the lowly humble ones will be lifted as your accusers condemn themselves...

For Our Lord Promises to snare the wicked with their own words and devices.

So keep on laughing and smiling using the vision of Jeremiah to see them in your morning cereal bowl for that is where Fakey Flakey Artificially Flavored Hypocrites belong...

They are certainly not part of or a chip off the rock who hung, bled and died upon the cross for all man kind.

Chaff in the wind my friends are here today blown away often before tomorrow...
The Joy of The Lord will never leave you...never think HE does not need you!

No one is expendable, yet everyone must be bendable though straight and tall and not moved by stress nor nonconstructive criticism... No one need be gloomy that other's never need them...for realize when they think they are rejecting you...it is themselves they cut off with their own mouth!

Hallelujah!! Amen Amen Amen and Alleluia!

I have Always Been Concerned for Those With Extremely Large Numbers of FaceBook Friends Who Share Everything With Everyone

This week I saw on Facebook a picture taken of someone who was sleeping in a suitcase.  I also see daily so many who are so lonely...hungry for anyone to accept them as who they are.

So many are at risk because they in their hunger to have one good friend whom they can regularly be with....
Do fun things together...or simply hang out once in a while in the others home...listening to clean music enjoying a lemonade together on a hot and steamy afternoon.

However, since in today's fast society so many are so busy racing to their next whatever...Some really have schedules that they cannot control...

But many make schedules to appear that they are sooooooo  soo busy that others THINK that they are important!

If each one took the time to take regular walks in their neighborhood...with their own spouse, with a friend...or even alone...

If each one taking such a walk...asks Our Lord to place in their path that day...just one aching soul who simply needs to receive genuine smile or, kind words...

GOD always answers quickly this sort of prayer for me....its similar to The Prayer of Jabez who was depressed all his life that he had caused his mother great pain as he was born..for the name he was given was PAIN and this pain he bore until he to called out to GOD saying :

"Lord Bless me indeed,
 Enlarge my territory,
May your hand be upon me keep me from evil that I may not cause pain."

We cause pain in HIS poor little ones when we fail to give such a lonely one a genuine smile...
When we fail to say hello...or Good Morning and GOD Bless you!

When we deliberately on purpose take the time to meet and greet each along our daily paths or streets...
GOD will always reward us infinitely more than we can ask think dream or imagine...

And thus GOD expands your territory and mine just as HE did for Jabez...
As HE Blesses others through us...HE too will Bless you and I through them...for the one who is easy to over look is the one friend who will become our gem...the diamond in the rough...who The Lord needed to use us to polish up!

I will be looking for you along our daily walks hoping that my husband and I one day receive the opportunity to exchange Bright SonShiney Smiles with you!

Amen Amen and Alleluia!

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!
