Living The Life




I heard on co-worker ask the other co-worker how was it going. To his reply came, "living the dream."  Are you living the life?  Ecclesiastes 5:18 says, "...it is good and comely for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labor that he taketh under the sun all the days of his life, which God giveth him for it is his portion."  God wants you to live a happy, stress-free full life. Don't allow anyone to take that from you. This day, when someone come towards you with aggression, smile.  Maybe there was a death in the family and that person is just angry.  When your enemy hate you without a cause, thank God. God maybe preparing a table before you in their presence, which has set them off (smiles).  When threaten to lose your job, rejoice. Your boss may not have the respect of the company like he or she thought and wants to take away your joy--not knowing God gave you your job.   When blessed, praise God. There's more where that came from.   Living life means to move about earth with your hand in God's hand. It's not about how much power, wealth and prestige you can get. It's the little things that matter. Next time you drive by and see someone sleeping under a bridge, with no clothes, shoes or nothing to eat, just think it could have been you. Without God's love, where would you be?  Don't let anyone take away your life's joy because they are having a bad day. Live your life!

I Got You!

Do you remember going to the arcades? You and your friends’ old rendezvous spot, battling for the top spot in one of the popular games. While you guys horsed around, a group of troublemakers bullied their way onto the machines? Your posy band together vowing to have each other’s back.  Now days, every man for himself. Someone will call 911 for you, any more than that would be heroic (Romans 5:7).  No one takes on any man’s cause anymore. The back-in-the-day phrase was "I got your back."

Understanding It Better By and By

    Funny how life has a way of showing you what you’re made of.  When adversity hits, what you say you wouldn't do becomes easier to do.  When the rubber meets the road, yes! you do the unthinkable.  Let's say you have a house fire and on the second floor is your baby and mom. You can only save one, which would it be? I've heard many say they would grab the baby since mom has been around a long time. I couldn't say.  I'm not in that situation right now.  There's no way to know what to do until tragedy hits.  Some can handle atrocities, whereas; other have no clue how to maneuver suffering nor know why hardship occurs.  Stop trying to figure out why hardships happens--only the Father knows.  He won't  have you guessing long.      The underlining reason at the end of your trials gives away the mystery. Experiencing hardship isn't fun but you will come out with more insight than ever before....

I Didn't See That Coming

Arriving at work, I put my lunch bag in the refrigerator, fired up the computer and  entered my logged on.  The phone rang.  "This is Ms. Swanson," I told the caller.  "Yes, right away."  I hung up the phone, reached for my keys and raced downstairs asking God to provide what I need from the spiritual realm. I wasn’t sure what I would run up against. A policeman was at my car writing a ticket. One of the sergeants’ saw my handicap placard on the seat and called me to come down quickly. While racing to the car, I noticed my IPhone watch on my arm. I wasn't allowed to wear it at work, especially with security violation written all over the action. I forgot to take it off! Supposed someone saw it, I could lose my job. Right at that moment I remembered to get my retainer from my purse when I put it in the truck. It could melt in the heat, costing a replacement cost of $300. All I can say is, "I didn't see that...
