Preparing Your Path

I found this on one of my emails, and thought it to be profound writing, am sharing with you what was shared with me.

Do you ever feel like every time you try to move forward in something, you hit a roadblock? Something happens that throws you off course. Be encouraged today because right now in your life, God is going before you. He’s preparing a way. He’s making your crooked places straight. He’s making your rough places smooth. You may be going through a difficult time right now, but it’s not the end. It’s only the beginning. God has equipped you for this journey. You may feel like you’re in a dry season, but don’t look at your circumstances. Look at the promise of God today! If you’ll keep speaking words of faith, God promises that He’ll anoint your head with oil and your cup will run over. That means you’ll be refreshed and anointed to do what He’s called you to do. God is preparing your path and equipping you for the journey. What do you need today to keep moving forward? Start by checking your attitude. Don’t go around complaining and focused on the negative side of things. Put on an attitude of praise and thanksgiving. Thank Him for making your crooked places straight! As you do, you’ll move forward in joy and gladness in the blessed future He has prepared for you!

Momma's "Little Man"

Doyle Wayne Cavender, Jr., born 5/04/63, was a sweet child, always smiling, my oldest son. These pictures are 45 years old.

My Oldest Daughter......

Misty Kaylinn Linthicum(Luark), born 4/01/68.........as you can tell she was a beautiful baby as well as little girl........

Butt-Dust?

These have to be original and genuine. No adult is this creative!!

JACK (age 3) was watching his Mom breast-feeding his new baby sister. After a while he asked: "Mom why have you got two? Is one for hot and one for cold milk?"

MELANIE (age 5) asked her Granny how old she was. Granny replied she was so old she didn't remember any more. Melanie said, "If you don't remember you must look in the back of your panties. Mine say five to six."

STEVEN (age 3) hug ged and kissed his Mom good night. "I love you so much that when you die I'm going to bury you outside my bedroom window."

BRITTANY (age 4) had an earache and wanted a pain killer. She tried in vain to take the lid off the bottle. Seeing her frustration, her Mom explained it was a child-proof cap and she'd have to open it for her. Eyes wide with wonder, the little girl asked: "How does it know it's me?"

SUSAN (age 4) was drinking juice when she got the hiccups. "Please don't give me this juice again," she said, "It makes my teeth cough."

DJ (age 4 ) stepped onto the bathroom scale and asked: "How much do I cost?"

MARC (age 4) was engrossed in a young couple that were hugging and kissing in a restaurant. Without taking his eyes off them, he asked his dad: "Why is he whispering in her mouth?"

CLINTON (age 5) was in his bedroom looking worried. When his Mom asked what was troubling him, he replied, "I don't know what'll happen with this bed when I get married. How will my wife fit in?"

JAMES (age 4) was listening to a Bible story. His dad read: "The man named Lot was warned to take his wife and flee out of the city but his wife looked back and was turned to salt." Concerned, James asked: "What happened to the flea?"

TAMMY (age 4) was with her mother when they met an elderly, rather wrinkled woman her Mom knew. Tammy looked at her for a while and then asked, "Why doesn't your skin fit your face?"

The Sermon I think this Mom will never forget.... this particular Sunday sermon..."Dear Lord," the minister began, with arms extended toward heaven and a rapturous look on his upturned face. "Without you, we are but dust..." He would have continued but at that moment my very obedient daughter who was listening leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little four year old girl voice, "Mom, what is butt dust?"

Homeless Need Respect Too......

Homeless men and women are part of an expanding, often faceless community. When we come in contact with a homeless person, we may feel repulsed, annoyed, even angered as we avert our eyes and think, "Why don't they do something to help themselves?" or "If I look them in the eye, that'll just encourage them to ask me for money" or "They choose to be homeless."

Frequently, it is our lack of understanding about the complexities of homelessness that fuels our prejudices and fears about homeless people. Somehow, that gives us "permission" to act less compassionately towards a homeless person — who is, after all, a human being just like us.

Homelessness goes hand in hand with poverty. In fact, "a growing shortage of affordable rental housing and a simultaneous increase in poverty" are the primary causes for the rise in homelessness, according to the National Coalition for the Homeless. Unfortunately, the working poor, those men and women who are earning the minimum wage, are often one hardship away from living on the street. A missed paycheck due to illness, an increase in rent, or loss of a job is all it can take to join the ranks of the homeless.

In his book 54 Ways You Can Help The Homeless, Rabbi Charles A. Kroloff offers additional insights about homeless men, women and children:

* Most homeless people are not drunks or drug abusers or former mental patients. Most are able or willing to work. One out of four homeless people are employed full or part-time, according to the United States Conference of Mayors.
* One child in five lives below the poverty line, making children the poorest age group in the United States, which accounts for the growing percentage of children who are homeless.
* Many homeless people have completed high school; some have attended college and even graduate school.
* The homeless are found not only in cities, but in small towns, rural areas, and affluent suburbs.
* Millions are among the hidden homeless — people who are one crisis away from losing their homes. They may be doubled or tripled up in housing or 48 hours from eviction or about to leave a hospital with nowhere to go.

And with the loss of an actual home, comes the loss of a person's sense of safety, belonging and self-esteem. Fortunately, you can make a difference in the life of a homeless man, woman or child.

When you encounter a homeless person in a safe environment, respond with kindness. Make eye contact and give the same respect as you would to any other person that you come across during your day.

If asked for money and you don't feel comfortable, a simple, "I'm sorry, I can't help. Take care" or "God bless" goes a long way.

Or, if you don't want to give money, carry fast-food certificates. This will alleviate any fears about the way your money could be spent.

For more suggestions on how to treat homeless people with respect, refer to 54 Ways You Can Help The Homeless.

Today's Outlook

Today's ambitious Capricorn Moon allows us to set aside irrational emotions in favor of a calculated response to a challenging situation. Considering the effects of our behavior increases the likelihood of reaching our goals, yet we pay a price for being overly logical. We could wind up being highly successful in the outer world, but without inner fulfillment. Happiness may also depend on embracing our feelings, even if this makes us more vulnerable.

FREEDON ISN'T FREE

I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG, OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA , AND TO THE REPUBLIC, FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION, UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!

It is said that 86% of Americans believe in God. Therefore,

I have a very hard time understanding why there is such a problem

in having ‘In God! We Trust’ on our money,

and having ‘God’ in the Pledge of Allegiance.

I believe it’s time we stand up for what we believe!

Profound Words

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will.
You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too,
so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love
for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone
you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every
sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.
Don't be afraid that your life will end,
be afraid that it will never begin.
