God loves Color
Not all tree’s are light green. Not all tree’s are dark green. They are dark, light, and everything in between. That is what God’s creation is all about 😀 He loves different color in his creation and different color of people ❤

Get Better Sleep
Don’t allow fear, worry and anxiety to disrupt your sleep. Practicing gratefulness allows the body to relax more effectively. Keep a gratitude/thankful journal by your bed and write down three things you are genuinely grateful for that day.
Then we Your people, the sheep of Your pasture, will give You thanks forever; we will show forth and publish Your praise from generation to generation. Psalm 79: 13
Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and, with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God. Philippians 4: 6

Compassion International exists as a Christian ministry that releases children from spiritual, economic, social, and physical poverty and enables them to become responsible, fulfilled Christian adults.
Without Compassion most of these children would not get to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ.
This program prevents hunger.
It also provides, important life-skill training, clean water, medical care, and teaches the children to read and write.
Without it most of children would be illiterate.
Today Compassion works in 26 countries.
Compassion International is:
Christ-Centered
Child-Focused
Church-Based
Committed to Integrity since 1952
Today we can value children that no one else will.
We live in a blessed place, and those who can should be a blessing to others.
When we serve the “very least of these,” we are serving the Savior Himself as it says in Mathew 25:40 and accomplishing what He has called us to do.
When we make a difference in someone’s life, we are affected also. It changes their lives and ours. It’s one of the great blessings of serving others.
Me and Jeff have been honored and humbled to be able to be sponsors for Compassion for many years. We are sponsoring Emmadi from India.
If you would like to get involved and sponsor you can just go to their website or contact them and select a needy child today.
I have their # 1-800-336-7676
It will bless your life and change theirs forever.
Thanks so much,

Faithfulness Poem
A faithful Godly couple
Ken and Faye
A beautiful couple still in love for over 60 years
Faye a women with a sweet smell of faithfulness to God and an example that honors Him.
Ken with a twinkle in his eyes , a man with the joy of the Lord in his smile.
Both are trusting and true.
So precious in Jesus sight,
An example for all to follow,
The precious Lord has always been your guide,
All His blessings are forever yours.
For there are many jewels in your crowns, for all your service to Jesus and the saints.
May all your former days be filled with His glorious presence and love! ♥

Mom’s Poem to Me
I hear you in the corner of
my ear – almost unnoticed.
You play your music so softly
in order to combine earth’s
natural rhythm with yours.
You know your song will be heard
in the cosmos – far beyond time.
There will be dancing and singing
in the galaxy with light waves
and atmospheric sound.
A gathering begins at the rock
concert for all those in harmony.
Earth has been invited to join their
solar band. Will the blue rock be
a star in the show?

Faith Poem
New Eyes
Running through the village
embracing everyone she meets,
she laughs in ecstasy.
People call her mad.
“New eyes!” she cries.
“I have been given new eyes!”
And it is true.
Amazing love was shown to her.
For the scales which had previously blinded her
are gone now, erased
revealing such utter glory
that her mind took flight,
leaving only a rapturous heart,
the old life gone, new one taking flight
racing through the streets
on fire with Jesus love.
Free like a humming bird!
Self Control! What is That?
What are ways we can be out of control?
Why is our flesh so bad, once we start feeding it distinctive things, stopping is the problem; Probably because it is an escape and it feels good temporally. It is okay to feel good .
How high do we want to fly? Why do we crave things that will ultimately kill us? Are we stupid or something?
We can get satisfaction from doing good. It feels so good to do good!! A higher life, way higher and above human reason. Christ came to give us life and life more abundantly!
