MEANINGFUL MONDAY'S...

Thanks be to THE LORD, it is a new week, but, which blew in with a mighty hand, and is still doing so! Tornadoes, and damaging winds, LOTS of destruction, people without power, loss of life, leveled homes, and other such, in more than a few states, is a reminder of just how precious, and unpredictable time is, so, let us embrace this least favoured day of Monday, with gratitude, and PRAISE!!!

I am happy today, anyway, because I was able to restore my system, and learned a lot, though it took 3 full days of work, and deliberate determination! PRAISE THE LORD, it feels good to be able to move freely about:))) I got TDH; technical difficulty headaches, but, all is well at this moment, and I am restored:)))

During my troubles with this media, I again, was reminded of how easily we become attached, addicted, and needy of things! Even if we don't realize it, we are often like, bound to things, after some time, and use, and this is how we begin to take things for granted! Then, I wonder, HOW did we manage before we became SO attached to the Internet? I try to remember what it was like, but, I have been online for so long, it is like a distant memory! In some ways, I WISH it were like it used to be, but then, there IS good use for this media, yes?!?

We are surrounded by sink holes in this life; sink holes which, if we aren't careful to avoid, can trap us, defeat us, and ruin us! Some are really obscurely hidden from us, some are obvious, and some we practically jump into, because of lack of self-control! You see, our circumstances, the people in our path, and other factors, quite easily, put us at risk, and on the edge, as we attempt to live in the flesh, over the spirit! This is one great reason for PRAYING without ceasing, for then, we are enabled, more than not, as well as for the good of others! We have much to contend with in this life, and besides that which we can't control, such as natural disasters, storms, and so forth, a large portion of it brought on by other people, and what they create, and so, IN *GOD* WE MUST REMAIN, for various reasons, and particularly, for safety, to ensure we can move past the sink holes, and avoid their dangers!!!

Humans are CREATED to BE resilient! We are MUCH more capable than we imagine, even in the midst of devastation! We ARE enabled to pick up the pieces, and make something out of them! And when *GOD* IS THE CENTER of our lives, we are all the MORE enabled! Too often, we give up in our discouragement, or we just stop to wallow in the negatives, INSTEAD of turning to THE LORD, and RETAINING UNSHAKABLE FAITH! WE CAN DO anything with *GOD* whom strengthens us!!!

 

This is a photo of an 82 year old Woman, after a tornado hit her property, I think in Illinois! Illinois was hard hit, as was Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky, with a few other states having suffered the effects of powerful winds! Such photos I share for the purpose of remembering that no matter how bad we might have in the hours of the day, MANY have it WAY worse! Sometimes after seeing such photos, hearing of disasters, and other such, we begin to see just how good our lives really are, despite the problems we face, and endure! *GOD* BLESS her soul, she looks like she is in shock, which is to be expected, as her whole life is changed by the winds of time! Let us PRAY for her, and ALL others, always...

Monday's can be monsters; yet, it is HOW we deal with it that forms it's results! There ARE a LOT of crabby people on Monday's, and problems in the mix, still, it IS THE DAY THE LORD HAS GIVEN US TO USE FOR GOOD, in the best of our abilities!!!

I BELIEVE in all bad, wrong, or negatives, GOOD prevails, and IS the healing balm of *GOD*! I believe that out of all bad, wrong, or negatives, comes the GOOD of *GOD*, IF we ALLOW it!!!

 The storms of life are tough, but, right behind them IS the sun, IS the good, IS the opportunity of restoration, renewal, and moving forward! THE LIGHT IS EVER NEAR; perhaps obscured at times, but, it never leaves us!!!

I wish you a day of understanding, of patience, of tolerance, of endurance, of perseverance, of ALL which will make it well for you! I wish you a week of discovery, of ability, of kindness, of PEACE, of LOVE, of *GOD*! Take care, and *GOD* BLESS US ALL! MUCH LOVE, and be sure to KEEP THE LORD AS THE CENTER, and FOCUS of this time that HE HAS GIVEN, while HONOURING HIM in thought, action, and reaction, BY BEING A BLESSING FOR OTHERS! PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME, WORSHIP HIM, REJOICE IN HIS LOVE FOR US, and HIS PRESENCE IN OUR LIVES, and THANK HIM ALWAYS! PRAY, PRAY, and PRAY! TO *GOD* BE THE GLORY!!!
