Unconditional Love, A Possibility or Is It Fiction?

The visitor yells from the other room for help because her friend has seemingly fallen asleep. Her husband swiftly comes into the room and gently picks her up and puts her in the wheelchair, takes her to the bedroom, tests her vital signs and finds they are okay. He lovingly dresses her in her nightclothes, puts  her to bed and quietly slips out of the room hoping she will be able to get a good night’s rest. Her health is fragile at best. He spends many long hours at the hospital encouraging the love of his life to never give up. He goes about his life in such a quite manner that most people never know all that he does. He spends time trying to prepare sermons, counseling with parishioners, helping to guide a stepchild to take the right paths for his life and lovingly giving his wife the best care he can.  In his free time he tends to his plants and writes articles on Wordcasters.

The preceding incident took place when I was visiting my daughter and son in law last year. It had such a profound effect on me that it comes to my mind on many occasions. It showed me about a great love and that it is possible for human beings to love unconditionally.

The spiritual journey they chose to walk gave them the opportunity to help enhance many others lives along the way. The bond of their love had been tried and re tried many times and yet, it only made them grow stronger in their faith in the Lord and continually renewed their strength in their journey.

When I think of their lives together I think of 1 Corinthians Chapter 13, verses 4-7.

Dear Marc,

Because of your love and care Michelle knew some of the happiest times in her life. I just wanted to say thank you for all the love and care you gave to my daughter I know she would want you to continue your journey of giving to others and continue to grow in your faith in the Lord.  She would want you to live your life to the fullest and never give up. If she taught us anything it would be to live life as large as you can and don’t quit.

You are a very special man and I am glad that you are part of our family.

How to Defeat A Hearing Deficit Disorder as It Relates to Addictions

Have you ever heard of hearing deficit disorder? Well it took me a long time to realize that I suffered from it and now I know the problem exist with many people today, not just young people. A hearing deficit disorder is a problem that goes like this, what a person tells you, you are sure that you heard and understood them,  but what they actually said is not what you heard.

The reason I bring this up is because many people who suffer from addictions are ego driven, they will act like they know what you said, rather than ask you what you meant. Sometimes they actually believe they knew what you meant and don’t feel a need to ask, yet their interpretation is entirely wrong, this is a hearing deficit disorder. 

It is at this point in our lives that we begin to have problems, our lives start going astray, the harder we try to look good, the more we fail. This type of thinking only draws us further into a deep, dark hole into which we are sliding and don’t even realize it or choose to deny it. Many of us live our lives under false pretense believing no one will know.

We increase our intake of drugs, alcohol or anything to make ourselves feel better about ourselves because we know that we are no longer okay and Mr. /Ms Ego can no longer convince us. We fall deeper into the hole. One day we wake up, we face our demons, and our choices are to climb out of the pit and find a better way to live, or continue to go deeper into the pit and get sicker.

Many of us were raised to believe that if we followed the entire directions mommy & daddy taught us about living life, then everything would be wonderful. We would wind up living in the perfect world. Now I don’t know who sold that bill of goods but he/she was one heck of a salesperson.

I’ve watched many people hit the wall when they were faced with making the choice of recovery or going back to where they came from. I’ve seen many choose to go back to where they came from and the end results have never been pretty. Many of them die an ugly, slow, painful, alcoholic death, but a few do live long enough to come back to recovery and learn to live a sober, fulfilling life.  That is always so heartwarming to see.

Overcoming a lifetime of wrong thinking and being close minded is not an easy matter to overcome but it is possible, if you really want to. It requires surrender, willingness, open mindedness and honesty to the very core of their being.

This is a course that must not be taken alone if you want success. I know from experience that anyone can find a wonderful happy and healthy life if they stay on course and take time to share it with others. 

If you’re feeling lost and want help contact a church, or a 12 step program, mission, salvation army, hospital, or treatment program listed in phone book. Any or all of these programs should be able to lead you in the right direction. 

Seek God and He will show you the way.

Read John Chapter 8 verse 12.

My Rant- Take Back Our Country-Fire Congress

This is an e-m ail that continually goes around on the internet and I hope there are enough of us that will push for the Congressional Reform Act of 2011 as stated below or by adding even more reforms to the Act.

 Let’s keep spreading the word because I believe that  with God’s help we the people making the decision to remain true to the love of this country can get it back on the right track. A nation people want to come to because they know if they obey the laws and work hard they can become successful and raise their families better than where they came from, can become citizens legally and know they are free from some of the fears and horrors of where they came from. It is the legal immigrants who founded this country.

 Let’s not lose our dignity and give up our God given rights to people who want to tell us how we should live our lives all the way down to what we should be eating now. Why are we allowing people some of them that we wouldn’t want near our families direct our lives,  INSANITY?? God grant us WISDOM to NOT  FORGET TO VOTE THEM OUT IN 2012!!!!

E-MAIL AS FOLLOWS::

 Congress is no longer responsive to the will of the people...it's time to force them to act on behalf of America.  We now have a professional political class whose only purpose is to continue feeding at the public trough.  We need to wean them away from waste and corruption.  Congress routinely exempts themselves from the laws they impose upon the rest of the country it's time for that to end.

"The task of weaning various people and groups from the national nipple will not be easy. The sound of whines, bawls, screams and invective will fill the air as the agony of withdrawal pangs finds voice." -Linda Bowles

Subject: WE NEED THIS NOW!

I have totally cleaned this e-mail from all other names, sending it to you in hopes you will keep it going and keep it clean. This is something I will fight for and I hope you all read it all the way through. You will be glad you did.

The 26th amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds) took only 3 months & 8 days to be ratified! Why? Simple! The people demanded it. That was in 1971...    Before computers, before e-mail, before cell phones, etc. 

Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took 1 year or less to become the law of the land... all because of public pressure. 

I'm asking each addressee to forward this email to a minimum of twenty people in their address list; in turn ask each of those to do likewise. 

In three days, most people in The United States of America will have the message. This is one idea that really should be passed around.

Congressional Reform Act of 2011 

1. No Tenure / No Pension. 
A Congressperson  collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are out of office.

2. Congress (past, present & future)  participates in Social Security. 
All funds in  the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social  Security system, and Congress participates with the American people.  It may not be used for any other  purpose.

3. Congress can  purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do. 

4. Congress will no  longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.

5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health  care system as the American people.

6. Congress must  equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people. 

7. All contracts with  past and present Congresspersons are void effective 1/1/12. 
The American people did not make these contracts with Congress. Congresspersons made all these contracts for  themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The  Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should  serve their term(s), then go home and back to work. 

If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people then it will only take three  days for most people (in the U.S. ) to receive the message. Maybe it  is time.

THIS IS HOW YOU FIX  CONGRESS!!!!! 

How to Find Great Wealth And Be A Winner On A Daily Basis?

  

She had worked fervently in the latter part of the month to make sure she had covered her sales route thoroughly. She had to make sure she enough orders before the 1st of the month to pay the bills, to say nothing of the extras, like food. Above all else she wasn’t willing to allow her daughter to go to a public school, after all, the private Christian school was doing so much to enhance her education and hopefully was building her self esteem.

It was one of those months when all the footwork seemed to be for naught and there was only one more day left before the end of the month. The next day she awoke early in the morning knowing that today was the day, her last chance; she just had to come up with the rent, utilities, etc. Upon awakening she suddenly felt a sharp, familiar pain; somehow she knew she had contracted a kidney infection, the pain was so great she could not get out of bed. Oh no, she cried with tears streaming down her face and in total fright, what am I going to do? How am I ever going to be able to take care of my daughter and her next thought was, oh God I hope I don’t lose custody of her. One more time fear was closing in on the woman and trying to take over her life.
At that point she cried out to God and said Lord I can’t get out of bed and I don’t know what I am going to do, please help me. Needless to say she did the only thing she could that day which was to stay in bed and drink lots of water in the hope of flushing the poisons out of her kidneys. She was running a high fever so she slept most of the day and when awake she drank water continually.
A strange thing happened while she was sleeping; her phone started ringing off the hook and orders started to pour in for the product she was selling. Since the woman was sleeping she had no idea what was going on because she had turned the ringer off to the phone and the message recorder was set to low, therefore, she couldn’t hear them. When she was finally able to get out of bed, she checked her messages and lo and behold she discovered that there were enough orders to meet all her needs, there would even be a little left over. The Lord had supplied everything she needed while she was sleeping.
I wrote this story in the hope that someone during these hard economic times will be encouraged enough to surrender their heavy load to the Lord. I feel strongly about surrendering to win because the woman in the story was me. I had worked so hard for the month before I had contracted the kidney infection and nothing had come to fruition. It seemed like the harder I worked the worse things got. I just knew that the Lord had deserted me. I gave up in total despair that day. When I wasn’t sleeping from the fever that I was crying out, God why have you deserted me? I believe God allowed me to get sick that day so he could show me that he would take care of me. All I had to do was the footwork and to quit worrying about the end results. I needed to surrender it all to Him.
I believe the moral of the story is; to surrender to God is to win. He will meet your every need, not your every want. Become a daily winner, surrender all to the Lord.
The lesson I had to learn is in the Holy Bible, Matthew, chapter 6, verses 31-34 and Mark, chapter 5, verse 34. Check it out it; hopefully it will help you win in your earthly journey too.
May God bless and keep you as you trudge the road to happy destiny.
