Let everything that has breath praise the lord

I wake up every morning at 5:15am knowing that my day is going to be the same as yesterday.  The problem is that living that routine makes everything become a task and that is not how we are supposed to live for the lord.  We need to praise him for everything.  In our victories, defeats, wins, losses in everything we must trust that in his big picture there is a reason.  A Godly reason that we may not understand and maybe we are not supposed to.  As I know life can have its roller coaster effect on us, the one truth that never waivers is God’s loyalty to us.  Through our happiness and our anger, our sadness and depression He is with us and if we allow him will carry us when those times become to much to bare.  My heart has been saddened many times, but also there has been joy and I must take the time to be thankful and praise him for the good and the trials as my faith has grown stronger in him.  The cool thing about your faith growing Stronger in Christ is that everything of him becomes more real.  For instance, my hope is in Heaven, but because of my faith I know that it is real.  Our hearts are designed by God to encourage one another, but to also be there through the times of loss and hurt.  We as Christians need to step up to the plate and stop just asking how are you doing?  We need to be willing to walk along side those that God places in our life, risk being hurt and pour wholeheartedly in them.  For many people, it may be the first time anyone has taken the time to make life about them.  Ultimately, Jesus calls us his Beloved and in that we are His one and only so if we are created in His image we must learn to make others feel like that through Christ’s love in us.  Let Christ Shine through you and turn your cheek and persevere through whatever life or the evil one try and throw into your path.  My eyes are fixed on Jesus and his Truth and no longer on my feelings.  Let God Reign and Let everything that has breath in your life Praise the Lord!  Amen!

sparky went home

Well I know many people argue and believe that when a pet passes that is where it ends.  I, however, tend to be the opposite of that.  Our dog of 9 years had to be put sleep because of a severe neck injury.  I know without a doubt that he is living in my Mom’s Mansion in Heaven.  The love that we had for him and the love my mom showed him when she was here on Earth is something God would not just let go.  It has been a hard few days because he was so full of life and he lived a good one.  Unfortunately, he suffered a fractured vertebra and the surgery would not guarantee he wouldn’t continue to suffer.  I am grieving for him and thinking of all the love he returned back and all the fun and cute things he use to do.  More so, he was my dads friend, they went for walks every morning and for drives in the afternoon.  He knew Sparky would be waiting for him when he came home, run all over the house barking jumping and nipping at him.  This has been a large loss for me and my father because Sparky was such a big part of my mom.  However, it would have been wrong and selfish of us to make him suffer anymore than he already had.  As we are grieving there is another side of joy.  That side is knowing how that embrace must of been between my mom and Sparky #2, yes there is a Sparky #1, who has been up there with her as well, but that’s another story.  I can see her rubbing his belly and hugging him and as she called him so loving ” You Mama’s Baby!!” in my mom’s unique voice. I know that God is a big God and I know Heaven is a place for all of our loved ones.  This has been a year that has allowed me to see many people and now our “baby” go home.  My heart and desire is to live my life to the full and no longer focus on the thorn in my side, as it is there by the evil one to distract me from God’s call on my life.  I have peace knowing my mom is that much happier in Heaven and that Sparky as his eyes closed here on Earth, were opened to His mom’s embrace.  Thank you God for being a Big God and allowing me to know that our love is not wasted on anyone or any of our pets we hold dear to our hearts.

One of my Favorites Re-Posted Poem

Good Friday, Better Sunday

We call the Friday he suffered good
When nothing good occurred
He suffered like no one ever should
All of his Holy rights deferred

Jesus hung, dying and nailed to a cross
Allowing all darkness to come and reside
From their eyes this was the ultimate loss
Even one of His strongest disciples chose to hide

He called out to His Father and said
Forgive them for they know not what they do
This was moments before His body would be dead
Moments before we would all be made new

In the end, He almost could not take any more
Pleading with God for Why has he been forsaken
With His last breathe the temple curtain tore
He was indeed the Messiah this could not be mistaken

On the Sunday which was the third day
Jesus had risen and know he cannot die again
He was the Messiah, so dead he could not stay
This new covenant means the Lion of Judah will reign

Oh what a happy and better day Sunday was
For my cross I will never have to bare
The feeling of Satan’s unclenching claws
Causes me to surrender as I say the Lord’s Prayer.

Amen.
