Thank You Jesus For Everything!

Bless it day to thee friends!

I just had something on my heart and wanted to share. We all are knowing in some way the things which are coming upon the earth in the economy. I just want you to know that our future is as bright as the promises of God. We are born with the desire to be success by the finished work at the cross. The poor are not getting poorer unless they have that mindset that they accept living in poverty. The middle class should be getting wiser also so we all can have our needs met and if you believe strong enough we all shall have over flow. You see the rich man or woman many not have God leading them either to the land of milk and honey cause even they shall fall [fail]. It is a way of how you think which has you were you are right now. It is not the out side of our body things which brings us God's will for prosperity....... it is the inside way of our thinking about the world, the lack of material things, even the basic needs. We must go inside ourselves cultivate, create and manifest that which God wants for us for we do have the spirit of truth available to guide and assist in all needed to bring victory in Jesus. If you listen to the news, neighbors, friends, family, and newspaper where the gloom and doom is it will become a part of your thinking and believing process. Greater in us then in the world is what is written. Do you believe that? I absolutely do for it is where the angels tread and manna flows it is hope and a future as Jeremiah 29:11 speaks.  This is why renewing the mind is so very important. The mind [thoughts] that leads us to the truth that sets us free. Wanna be free from this atmosphere? Then as messengers spoke many times in scripture "FEAR NOT!" that is the way to finding and receiving all that Father God has your name on. For fear is    False  ~Evidence~ Appearing~ Real. 

Get the message? Some of the messages, news, words spoken and written are not truths. If you hear someone speaking not in accordance to the Bible then it is not real. Also misery loves company so when you are hearing any negativity if you agree then you become as it is. Helpless and hopeless, ect. 

We agree to the thing said if we don't have a word of God to stand on which will bring us unto the Father's teachings. 

God is a God of plenty, No lack, His land is overflowing and many will not or do not ask for what He offers or has freely available. We think we have to have this or that and it will fulfill that need although without His way and word it will not come about in our lives due to lack of knowledge. That is why we perish. It is not God's will we live in fear and lack for that is Not his way of giving in His world. His kingdom within us is stocked up with all kinds of wealth and health. Hallelujah!! I believe, I believe therefore I receive. 

Many think what others say as the word instead of the Bible. Lord, have mercy on those that know your word and do not do it. Renew, Renew for His blessings that make rich and add NO sorrow. In Jesus' Holy Name do this!! 

Lovingly, rilda   

Living in lack and struggle does not please God.

okay, I'm not, but this mirror kinda made me look l-o-n-g and thin. Here are some pictures taken on a recent field trip to the children’s museum.

Here are the girls hanging off one of the old cars (Big Miss, friend, and Little Miss)

I am in the hospital having a baby (Doctor Little Miss was wonderful!)

I love a puppet show!

Puppet show from the back....It WAS the girls!

The dentist said, "This won't hurt a bit".....AHHHH

Here Little Miss is inside a huge bubble (too cool!)

So many things to try....

Hurry, hurry, call the firetruck

Racing the skeleton

The kids loved trying out the special needs

Digging for dinosaur bones

Making a video

How's that wind there Sarah?

The castle maze

The train ride (did I mention it was REALLY windy?)

Never doubt that a 17 year old cannot have fun in a children’s museum!

Another long night. DS slept fine is his big boy bed. YES! The power went out last night so that kept me up for a little while. I just feel so tired. It has just been a very long week. I plan on staying at home today and doing a few things. Quick clean the house, find a place for my strawberry jam and wash some clothes. Anything else will be extra! 

My family is looking for a new church. Please pray for us on this issue. I have been in prayer over the whole situation and the Lord is leading me. Hope everyone has a wonderful day. God Bless. I


Cleaning, large houses and what nots.

What a great day I had yesterday. The sun was out and I got more of my garden planted along with some clean up around the yard. I was hoping to have my chicks this year, but the storage shed has taken a back seat to things lately. The other night Hubby and I were discussing the next couple of years and what we wanted to do. In July, our little town has an annual garage sell and is very popular. All of the little towns around us do the same thing, just at different times. It's great because you know when each is held and make you list of needed things.

Well this year we are going to do it one more time. I finally got Hubby convinced that we need to clear out the stuff that we just don't really need. I feel that this might be the last year that people would really be willing to pay for an item that they just have to have. I think that with harder times coming, people are going to hang on tighter to the wallets and that your dollar is not going to stretch to much farther. Plus as we are getting older, we either don't have the time to get all of the holiday stuff up, and as my daughters family grows, we will be spending more time at her home. So in the next couple of weeks, we are going to go through both of the sheds, plus the house and get ready again for a sell. It's funny, but the older I get the less I want around me. I don't want the clutter and storage of things. We are even going to scale back and put in a couple pieces of furniture too! Things that have been given to us and have sat idle for some time.

I am wondering, how many of you in large homes now, remember starting out in a one bedroom place and thought you had the world by the tail? Remember how big it felt to have a place of your own! Could you go back now, with what you have and live that way again? I bet not. Why have we, as a society, believe that bigger is better. There are somedays, that I wish to go back and live in that two bedroom apartment, just for the comfort that it gave me. Yes I wanted bigger in things, but bigger when it can to the land,not the house. I think this is one thing that alot of people need to revisit in their lives and see if change is needed. I can't believe that back in the 50's and 60's, America was raising a family of four in an 900 square foot home, and look at us now!

Well I best get going. I am heading towards town today to have lunch with Hubby at work and pick up some last minute things for tomorrow. Then it's back to getting the last minute things baked and packed.

Have a great day and will talk to you later.

“I want to know one thing,” said John Wesley, “—the way to heaven: how to land safe on that happy shore. God himself has condescended to teach the way. He hath written it down in a book. O give me that book! At any price, give me the book of God! I have it: here is knowledge enough for me. Let me be a man of one book.”
