God doesn't give you the people you want; He gives you the people you
NEED... to help you, to hurt you, to leave you, to love you and to make you
into the person you were meant to be.

One Flaw In Women

Women have strengths that amaze men...

They bear hardships and they carry burdens,

but they hold happiness, love and joy.

They smile when they want to scream.

They sing when they want to cry.

They cry when they are happy

and laugh when they are nervous.

They fight for what they believe in.

They stand up to injustice.

They don't take "no" for an answer

when they believe there is a better solution.

They go without so their family can have.

They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.

They love unconditionally.

They cry when their children excel

and cheer when their friends get awards.

They are happy when they hear about

a birth or a wedding.

Their hearts break when a friend dies.

They grieve at the loss of a family member,

yet they are strong when they

think there is no strength left.

They know that a hug and a kiss

can heal a broken heart.

Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors.

They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you

to show how much they care about you.

The heart of a woman is what

makes the world keep turning.

They bring joy, hope and love.

They have compassion and ideas.

They give moral support to their

family and friends.

Women have vital things to say

and everything to give.

HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN,

IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.
Please pass this along to all your women friends and relatives to remind
them just how amazing they are.

It's all a matter of perspective

(Embedded image moved to file: pic24705.jpg)

Look at this picture and what do you see?

Greetings everyone,

I have a story for you to read: One rainy day a woman overheard
someone say, "What miserable weather!" She looked out her office window to
see a big fat cardinal using a nearby puddle of water for a bathtub. He was
splashing and fluttering, thoroughly enjoying himself. She couldn't help
but think, Miserable for whom? It's all a matter of perspective.

That's a lesson that this young man learned. He was watching a artist
paint a picture of a muddy river. He told the artist he didn't like the
picture because there was so much "mud" in it. The artist admitted there
was mud in the picture, but what he saw was the beautiful colors and
contrast of the light against the dark.

The young man preached in a sermon, "Mud or beauty---which do we look
for as we journey through life? If we look for mud and ugliness, we find
them--they are there. Just as the artist found beauty in the muddy river,
because that is what he was looking for, we will find, in the stream of
life, those things which we desire to see. To look for the best and see the
beautiful is the way to get the best out of life each day."

Even the Bible says that what you see is what you get!!!

Some people complain because God put thorns on roses, while others praise
Him for putting roses among thorns.

Phillippians 4:8 says finally brethren, whatsoever things are true,
whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things
are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good
report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these
things.

Take the time out to see the beauty all around you. Take care of yourself
and one another and dont forget to SMILE!

God wants to bless you beyond what you could ever ask or think. Little
Pray, Little Power, No Prayer, No Power, Much Pray, Much Power!!!!

Keep walking on the water!

Greeting everyone,

When the storm comes in your life, dig in both heels, set your face like
flint and be determined in the Holy Spirit to stay out of the boat! Very
often the storm ceases as soon as you quit and crawl back into a place of
safety and security.

The devil brings storms into your life to intimidate you. During a storm,
remember that the mind is the battlefield. Don't make your decisions based
on your thoughts or feelings, but check with your spirit. When you do, you
will find the same vision that was there in the beginning.

NO WAVERING ALLOWED!!!!

James 1:5-7 says If any of you is deficient in wisdom, let him ask of the
giving God [Who gives] to everyone liberally and ungrudingly, without
reproaching or faultfinding, and it will be given him.

Only it must be in faith that he asks with no wavering (no hesitating, no
doubting). For the ones who wavers (hesitates, doubts) is like the
billowing surge out at sea that is blown hither and thither and tossed by
the wind.

For truly, let not such a person imagine that he will receive anything [he
asks for] from the Lord.

God has a great life planned for you. Don't let the devil steal it from you
through lies! Instead,....refute arguments and theories and reasonings and
every proud and lofty thing that sets itself up against the [true]
knowledge of God; and...lead every thought and purpose away captive into
the obedience of Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One) 2Corinthian 10:5

Remember to be good to yourself and to one another. Dont forget to send
your prayer request, comments and testimonies. Have a blessed day and dont
forget to sound the alarm.....SMILE :-).

Courage

Greetings everyone,

Have you ever had to face something that you feared the most? Some things
you may feel is not nothing to worry about but with other thing you just
have a problem with accepting to be for your good when it appears to be
such a bad situation to you. Courage is not a matter of not being afraid.
It is a matter of taking action even when you are afraid!

Courage is also more than sheer bravado--shouting, "I can do this!" and
launching out with a do-or-die attitude over some reckless dare.

True courage is manifest when a person chooses to take a difficult or even
dangerous course of action because it is the right thing to do. Courage is
looking beyond yourself to what is best for another.

The source of all courage is the Holy Spirit of God, our Comforter. It is
His nature to remain by our side to help us. When we welcome Him into our
lives and He compels us to do something, we can confidently trust He will
be right there, helping us get it done.

Ephesians 16:13-14 says Therefore, take up the full armor of God that you
may be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand
firm. Stand firm therefore.

Be encouraged on today!

Positive

Is it possible to be positive when you are going through so much at this
time in your life? Things can be so overwhelming when the pressure is on. I
am pushing pass my hurt feelings on today in spite of all that is going
wrong right about now. I know that we wrestle not against flesh and blood
but against the rulers of the principalities, against powers, against the
rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high
places. The wicked one is responsible with getting each and everyone of us
off course. I challenge myself to stay positive because I know that I am at
the end of my breakthrough.

I become transparent to you all because I go through the storm like
everyone else. I am not always the one who is on top of her game at all
times but when it comes to those days that I feel down and out the holy
spirit speaks to me and tell me to be still and know who I serve. I serve a
true and living God and these trials and test comes to make me strong.

Romans 5:3-5 says "….we glory in tribulations also: knowing that
tribulation worketh patience; and patience, experience; and experience,
hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad
in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us."

The wicked one will not steal my joy. He will have to replace all that he
has taken from me. GIVE ME BACK MY PROMOTION! GIVE ME BACK MY PEACE! GIVE
ME BACK MY ANOINTING! GIVE ME BACK MY HOME! GIVE ME BACK MY BUSINESS! GIVE
ME BACK MY FINANCES! GIVE ME BACK MY HEALTH! GIVE ME BACK MY INTERGITY! I
AM TAKING IT BACK! IAM TAKING IT ALL BACK! IN JESUS NAME!

What do you need to take back? Name it and take it back!

Remember each minute is a blessing from God

Mary and her husband Jim had a dog named 'Lucky.'

Lucky was a real character. Whenever Mary and Jim had company come for a
weekend visit they would warn their friends to not leave their luggage
open because Lucky would help himself to whatever struck his fancy.
Inevitably, someone would forget and something would come up missing.


(Embedded image moved to file: pic31270.jpg)
cid:2.2006674449@web57107.mail.re3.yahoo.com


Mary or Jim would go to Lucky's toy box in the basement and there the
treasure would be, amid all of Lucky's other favorite toys Lucky always
stashed his finds in his toy box and he was very particular that his toys
stay in the box.

It happened that Mary found out she had breast cancer. Something told her
she was going to die of this disease....in fact; she was just sure it was
fatal.

She scheduled the double mastectomy, fear riding her shoulders. The night
before she was to go to the hospital she cuddled with Lucky. A thought
struck her...what would happen to Lucky? Although the three-year-old dog
liked Jim, he was Mary's dog through and through. If I die, Lucky will be
abandoned, Mary thought. He won't understand that I didn't want to leave
him! The thought made her sadder than thinking of her own death.

The double mastectomy was harder on Mary than her doctors had anticipated
and Mary was hospitalized for over two weeks. Jim took Lucky for his
evening walk faithfully, but the little dog just drooped, whining and
miserable.

Finally the day came for Mary to leave the hospital. When she arrived
home, Mary was so exhausted she couldn't even make it up the steps to her
bedroom. Jim made his wife comfortable on the couch and left her to nap.

Lucky stood watching Mary but he didn't come to her when she called. It
made Mary sad but sleep soon overcame her and she dozed.

When Mary woke for a second she couldn't understand what was wrong. She
couldn't move her head and her body f felt heavy and hot. But panic soon
gave way to laughter when Mary realized the problem. She was covered,
literally blanketed, with every treasure Lucky owned! While she had
slept, the sorrowing dog had made trip after trip to the basement bringing
his beloved mistress all his favorite things in life.
He had covered her with his love.





Mary forgot about dying. Instead she and Lucky began living again,
walking further and further together every day. It's been 12 years now and
Mary is still cancer-free. Lucky still steals treasures and stashes them
in his toy box but Mary remains his greatest treasure.

Remember....live every day to the fullest. Each minute is a blessing from
God. And never forget....the people who make a difference in our lives are
not the ones with the most Credentials, the most money, or the most
awards. They are the ones that care for us.

If you see someone without a smile today give them one of yours! Live
simply. Love seriously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God


A small request
All you are asked to do is keep this circulating.

Dear God, I pray for the cure of cancer.
Amen

All you are asked to do is keep this circulating, even if it is only to
one more person, in memory of anyone you know that has been struck down by
cancer or is still fighting their battle.
