A devotional I wrote:
There was a girl who loved to make crosses. She made them in different colors, and sizes. One day she was in the backseat of her dad's car making a very special cross. Her dad looks in the rearview mirror, and asks
"What colors will this one be sweetheart?" She looks up, and replies, "Blue, and purple". She smiles, "it's for someone special." Her dad smiles in return as they arrive at the grocery store. As they park they over hear a man and his wife arguing in the car next to them. The little girl looks over, and closes her eyes as she wraps her little hand around the Cross that she just completed. "Daddy, can you help me to talk to that couple next to us?"
Her dad takes the keys out of the ignition, and smiles. "What for baby? They seem pretty heated right about now." The little girl smiles, "I just want to give the man this Cross I just finished." They got out of the car, and the little girl walked close to her dad as they approach the couple's vehicle. Her dad gently knocks on the driver's side window. "What do you want man?" The man in the car said as he lowered his window, "leave us alone".
The little girl's dad looks down at his daughter and frowns, "Honey, he doesn't seem like he wants to talk." The little girl smiles big, and goes up to the window. "Mister, I have a present for you." The guy in the car looks down at her, and replies "Oh yeah? what might that be?"
The little girl looks up at the man, and smiles, "Just a present for you," she says and raises her hand up and places the Cross into the man's hand. The little girl starts to cry happily. "It symbolizes the love that God has for us, God's word says, 'and be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgivn you.'"
The man in the began to tear up as he opened the door. He huggs the little girl, ad whispers in her ear. "Thank you darlin." He turned back to his wife, and says "I don't know what got into me, please forgive me. I'll be better, this little girl has shown me the light." The man, and his wife hug, and thy reconciled their differences.
From then on out they lived happily ever after.

I love this song,
God is very amazing isnt He? Even tho this world says we have flaws, God is the one who says we are flawless.
In depth, we are all saved by His grace and never by our own actions.
The only actions that we need to do is answer His call and accept what He did for us all and walk thru that door to everlasting life.
Amen, and Amen!

Life has stand still periods, expecially when the one we love has passed from this life to the next.
I still struggle with my mom's passing. I used to dream of her, now it hardly happens but i do jnow that she will return.
She was my rock, as God is mine as well.
She is with Him waiting on me to come join her in paradise.
And i know it will take yeara before i join her. ANd i am ok with that.
Is the pain still there ? Yes
Was her death real? More than u know
I was asked by the chaplain at the hospital what my decision is about my mom. SHe asked all 6 of us.
I sighed, i said if its what she wants let her have what she wants i just dont want her to hurt anymore
.
And i never wanted her to hurt in the first place.
When a loves one passes it is to no obligation against you, it is never your fault even at times i blame myself for not being a better son.
I was better in ways cuz inwas there when no one else careb to be.
Her worss ring true to me even to this day,
" It is ok, I do not hold anything against him (meaning me.)"
Rest well mom, love you.

Happiness is the essential part of life. That is what life is about, becwuse God never intented ua to be distand apart because we are all connected.
This connection comes from God and His heart, the very heart that was placed in you is the very heart He has Himselr.
It beats, it sends that life source though tour veins throughout your body. Without the heart your body will plainly stop.
So, in love as God sees it we are to cherish the heart instead of hurt it. To cherish it is to have someone know and feel how you feel, if that makes sense at all.
In realism, love is never ever about changing a person. It is always accepting, kind, and loyal.
Love is kind, love is patient. The patient bird has always gotten that worm, as the patient fishermen always gets that fish.
There are plenty of fish in the sea, you just got to know what to look for, or simply just throw your bait out and allot God to real your fish in for you.
Love is like that, bait, hook, singer. And when that special one takes your bait, take it slow, take it easy, because with patients comes a lifetime of happyness.
God Loves you and so do I!

"It is my turn to show you what I the great I AM can do. Be patient, be kind and know that I am HE."
Ok Lord, let's do this.

Today went very smooth. I loved it, except for one part.
This dude new hire a different one thinks he controls breaks lol then he tried to prevent me ad my buddy from my own mounts from stacking the pallets.
I went to break, then released the stacker from his position for his break and told my buddy that since the super visor said u can stack u will stack.
Get there and releieve him. I wont let anyone run anyone over for real. BEcause respect goes a very very long way with me.
In truth the realization holds true within itself. Why is it that people want to bark at the chain of command?
Because they want free money, and easy jobs.
Sorry partner, not ever on my watch.
I believe in hard work, i believe in truth as well.
To be truthful, even online shows your character. Too many people on the web want to be who they are not.
I seen this a whole lot in years past. ALot of people here on this site ARE real so I am blesaed to be here.
Some may think my style is strange, but hey its all cornbread and biscuits.
I hafta fix a file in a few and it is 2:42 am. And i do not mind fixing it at all.
I will say this once again, patients is key to all happiness.
Many read my thread, as to many simply ignore it.
I am not looking to be famous, i am looking to bring people closer to God because they are loosing that grip in faith that can cause heartache!!
Whew!! Sorry types that fast, ok Spirit one step friend at a time. Lol
The Spirit has a lot to say, and at times it floods lol but u know? I love God and i accept the gifts that He has instilled in me.
My buddy at work always likes my compay, but its cool he is a good friend.
But when a worker thinks he can do as he wishes and run people over i stop. I corrext that person correctly and respectfuly and never mean or loud until they scream at a supervisor.
Even one who is a good friend of mine.
Then i get mad becauwe they show no respect to authority.
So i hafta ask this, do they respect God and His authority?
I dint know i hafta pray on it.
I said all that to say this, love each other as God loves you friends.
Because love is never ever about the persons past, or even what people say about them.
Love is ALWAYS humble and forgiving.
God Bless

Ahh, good ol Friday. I work tomorrow to make up for Wednesday.
They closed down due to this weather. However, it stalled out and went what? To other direction.
Other places that I have worked made us work regardless, or never allowed us to make a day up.
With my job, they give good essentives. They always show that appreshiation to their workers.
That is very rare, that is love. They treat us all like we are family. Ar Christmas, (Yes it is my favorite time of the year.) they gave us all stainless steel cups that keep things hot, or cold for a legnth of time.
I said, this is not normal for me because my other jobs say do your work go home thats it.
The supervisor smiled and said, you are in the right place now.
And i am.
Yea i may have a big family, but to be quite honest we did not get along all the time.
It was a rollarcoaster each and every day. But some things are better left unsaid.
Due to the way i grew up, i grew up hard mind you, i deal with PTSD, Anxiety, and Depression.
It is a horrid ordeal to have to deal with. But i manage quite well.
On my bday, something told me to go buy my cross necklas. It was a good price, one of those Walmart deals: 38$.
I was missing mom like crazy, but since I got the necklas i been feeling better.
It was God's way of saying, "my child, everything is ok. Your mom? Is here with me and when you pass from this life to the next then you will be reunited with her."
At times i still miss her, but at others i can smile better at her memory.

My friend at work has things on a mixed up level.
This level is enough to annoy me. He says that women on the internet are out for one thing, sex.
I glared at him, I said dude you are very wrong. He said that he is not, but in realism he is.
He has no true view point on what true love is about. To be quite honest here, he lives in an area that has everything all backwards.
I guess it is time to go back to my country town.
It drives me crazy how many view love. And love is never abiut that one night stand.
Why is it that when someone shows a little hint if interest in someone it revolves around sex?
What has become of love? I clearly do not know.
To be quite honest, people are blind. Satan has blinded people into believing to feel loved is to have sex.
Sex is NEVER the answer to feel love. It clearly demonstrates that these people who are blinded by this they think the wrong things.
I never say, "i love you" until the lady says it first. Why? Because alot of women feel preassured into being "perfect" and being what men demand.
But what does God say? Women are the helper to the man. For centeries men and women have faught because of one problem, not all men do this mind you, some women do it to.
This problem is this, sex kills love. When someone is sex crazed they look for ways to find it. It does not mattet with what or with whome.
My brother? Is one of them. He is so messed up in the head that he has clearly forgotten his country roots.
He is not a "true" cowboy. He is southern but cowboy? Not by far.
A true cowboy is one who holds a heart to cherish it ans not to destory it.
A true cowboy is reapectful, he is respected by his peers.
A true cowboy is never about that bed but is always about that heart.
That is me. Take or leave it as it may, but my brother? Lol well he is ok just has his head so far up his but that he cant breath.
*bows* grasshopper over and out.
