Peanut Butter and Jelly

What is the difference between carrying around a peanut and a grape vs. two pieces of bread with peanut butter and jelly spread over them?

One remains in it's origianl state which can be understood to be shallow in a sense while the latter has gone deeper . Peanuts and a grapes are only able to rise to the first dimension; simply because of the peanut and grapes unwilligness to go through change. The peanut and grapes refusual to change limits their potential. There's so much greatness so to speak in the peanut and grape, unfortunately, satisfaction with the status quo forces the peanut and grape to remain shallow and those that seek the peanut and grape only get just that, a peanut and a grape.

 When expansion is welcomed, when the limits are removed, when the peanut and grape make themselves avaialble to be used by the gifiting and imagination of creative ability they become something much greater. When the peanut and grape cry out "enlarge my terriotory", what they must realize is that they are asking the creative hand to strip them of all they are acustomed to seeing and hearing. Now they must make themselves available to be crushed; not only crushed but they go through rigorus process which yields transformation . All of the other peanuts and grapes stand in amazement over the transformation. Not to long ago, they were only able to see the peanut and grape for what they were "a peanut & grape" which was a shallow state.

 However,  as soon as the peanut and grape become willing to go deeper and to become sumerged into the plan of creative ability, they transform and become peanut butter and jelly.

 Now if a peanut and a grape can conform and transform, how much more should we submit to the Master Craftsman? God desire to show you His glory. Will you allow  Him - The Potter - to make you  into what He has designed you to be?

.....Let Us Love One Another!

There was a man that had nothing better to do but complain all day! He complained about his wifes cooking, her hair style and the weight she gained after college. 

 The kids would laugh and he would complain that they were to loud, their teachers gave lots of home work during the first week of school and he complained that the school system was horrible and the educational system was going down the toobs.

His wife cooked bacon and he said , "Why didn't you make sausage?" She made peppered stake and he went on to say, "Woman can't you do anything right? You know I love chicken parm!"

Whenever he went to work, he would talk about what went on in his house. He shared intimate things about his wife with people he had known for less than one year.

During the company holiday party, his wife was the laughing stock. Sadly, she didn't even know what they were giggling about.

He complained whenever he went to the supermarket, mall or corner store about the unreasonable prices. He once debated a store clerk over a 59 cent pack of gum. He even argued which gums flavor lasts longer than the other.

One night this man fell asleep. He woke up at two o'clock in the morning and noticed that his wife wasn't beside him. He ran to the kids room and noticed that they weren't there either. Puzzled, he went outside and noticed that the car and SUV were still in the driveway. He didn't understand, "What is going on?", he said within himself.

 Time passed, and he realized that it was almost time to go to work. He was so perplexed, he didn't know what to wear. His wife was a master designer and always coordinated things for him. He mixmatched everything. He had on two different color socks, clothes weren't ironed (he didn't even know how to iron) he was a mess!

 He went to work and his co-workers were shocked "Why is he so quiet?," they said amongt themselves. "Something has be wrong if Mr. Complainer is not talking" they continued. 

He was now mute and at the point where he felt as if he was going to have a nervous break down.
He left work early because he couldn't imagine what happen to his family. He dare not tell his family because they were all aware of his tactics. The blame would all be placed on him, so he dare not say a word.

 He went home and cried, cried, cried, cried, cried.....until he woke up......

 IT WAS ALL A DREAM!

He looked to his left and saw his wife praying to God and asking in her prayer, "Lord please speak to my husband, let him know that I love him and the kids do too. Lord let him know that I love him til death do us part"

He became broken, he cried bitterly. He joined his wife in prayer. He embraced his wife, asked her and the children for forgiveness then he asked God for forgiveness. He then decided to do the one thing he had eluded all along, he accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord & Savior!

We only have one life to live!  We have to love each other with REAL LOVE!

 We have to appreciate and value our family, love God and love people.

 Jesus said, "This is how they will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another"

....God Shall Supply All of Your Needs!

Went for my morning walk and couldn't help but pause to observe this mother duck with her babies (about 10 ducklings) walking or should I say waddling..lol ~ It became obvious upon closer observation that the mother duck was looking for food for her "kids" and she was diligent!

She looked around the trash, she searched through the grass and nothing. She kept walking about 25 steps from her starting point and she struck gold! She located a spot and began to eat along with her "kids" What amazed me was the fact that the entire time she searched, the ducklings followed their mother's every step.

~When she stopped, they stopped~

~We she searched, they waited~

 These ducklings were focused and had no doubt in regards to their mothers ability to find something to eat. The mother duck does not work, yet she knew exactly where to go for the food! The food was provided for her in abundance; more than enough for her and the ducklings.

Dear reader, how much more does our Heavenly Father care about us?

Is not our life more valuable than that of a duck?

What is your need?

 Know that God is able to provide your every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus ~

Seek, Ask, Knock  and watch God move!

....Fearfully and Wonderfully Made!

Life is too short to be stressed over small stuff....better yet things that are not even significant ~ one of the greatest enemies of happiness is negative self talk ~ at times we can be our own worst enemey

 ~ When we constantly reherse things that we have not accomplished in our life: didn't get the high school diploma...didn't go to college, when will I get married, why did I get married ~

We place ourselves in a psychological prison ~ the difference between an actual prison and a psychological prison is the fact that those individuals that are in a psychological prison have the power to get themselves out - simply because they hold the key...you have to love you and everything about you ~

You may not look like Halle Berry or Denzel Washington....but you are beautiful inside and out ~ we have to value and appreciate who we are, what we are and how we look.... Did you know that you were created in the image of God? Did you know that you are fearfully and wonderfully made?~ it's hard to love others when we don't love ourself ~

We have to learn to love ourselves....start by loving where you live...it may not be a mansion...but you have a roof over your head... love where you live....love what you drive...it may not be a Bentley..but it gets you to where you need to go...love what you drive.
You are valuable and your life has meaning ~

God loves you and I do too :)
