Compassion

Tis the season to be jolly, to be happy to be loved!!! It's also a time to show compassion! I was reading thru Luke and came across a particular story that brought attention to me of simple compassion that Jesus bestowed on a widower. She was in a funeral procession for her one and only son!!! And Jesus came up to her and he felt compassion for her (Luke 7:13) And He told her not to cry! She just lost her son, her ONLY son and a man comes up to her and tells her to stop crying! That would just be hard for me to do a complete stranger to tell me to stop crying! I think I would have taken offense to that! But she doesn't retract Jesus' words! All Jesus did next was just touch the coffin and told the dead man to arise! Jesus showed that woman that He had compassion for her and that He loved her!
I feel that this is one way to see how God showed His compassion for us by giving up His one true love, His son! And then I think about all those that are close to me that don't know how compassionate our BEAUTIFUL our God really is! And how much I DON'T show them compassion by not sharing Gods compassion(how to use the same word 3 times in one sentance!!!)
Why should I be any different to be able to have this knowledge and hoard it all to my self??? I don't deserve it like everyone else does! This really convicted me with my walk! Going to Church is not ENOUGH!!! It's verbaly too! This is my life long resolution...new years resolution are so 5 mins ago...(thats for you Aim) ...It's to NOT keep God all to my self! I want to be able to know that I will see my loved ones and unknown ones in Heaven...My resolution is to keep the great commandment to Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature!!! My world right now reolves in Redmond, Oregon!
Luke 7:13~And when the Lord saw her He felt COMPASSION...

YEAH SNOW!!!!

It snowed yesterday!!! I rarely get to see snow before Turkey day and yesterday was just a blast!! On top of everything else I had the day off too!...My neighbor and I took our dogs for a walk while it snowed and if you see the pictures in my last blog my dog isn't very big and will only be a little bigger than what he is now!
Well Milo the neighbor is an American Bulldog...He's a big boy and watching Gizzmo trying to play like a big dog was sooo funny!
Im doing good I have possibly my last doctors appointment regarding my accident tomorrow!! At least thats what the doctor said at my last visit! It depends on if my rib is healing. I haven't had any problems lately but sometimes im uncomfortable in the morning. I sure hope it is healed! Then I can work full time again and possibly get a second job for a little bit!!!
I have been going to a great church, the only thing is the pastor preaches for only a half hour!! But it is filled with God's word and thats what matters most!
May you all be blessed

PICTURES!!!

This is dedicated to my little man....He has been such a great comforter and love bug! He is the best cuddle buddy on cold nites while watching a movie! We are learning how to be obedient but as most of you know that with children they take a lot of patience!! I don't have kids but I do know what it's like to have one....kinda! Enjoy the pics!

ALCOHOL!!!!

I am BOYCOTTING any form of Alcohol in my life!! No having a glass of wine with dinner, not gonna have a cold beer with a friend, Believe it or not I'm not gonna even COOK with it! Im mad, REALLY MAD!!! I just found out yesterday that my God mother is dying with cerosis(cant spell and spell check isn't working) of the liver!!!

After having to deal with my dad in the hospital with drinking related problems and my mom on her way down the same path, I now have another special person in my life that I get to see suffer because of the choices that they made!! Im mad because I just don't understand why? Why lie that you are sober and then keep drinking anyways?? I mean I really have no room to talk after having my own problem with addiction to smoking(I have quit). My dad for instance...He was told that he should never put another alcoholic beverage into his body as he is leaving the hospital this summer and then he goes and sees his regular doctor who tells him that ONE drink a week is ok not one or two a nite. And then my mom doesn't stop drinking nor slow down the intake of how much she drinks, in front of my dad. So naturally he is gonna want to have a drink too.

I know why God alows these things to happen it just hurts and there is nothing I can do!
IM just frustrated that it's happening to the people I love so dearly and now at the rate that my mom drinks she's heading down the same road! I am a state away and I think that has helped me to deal with the things that I can't control!
Even my own husband has had problems with his drinking too. I have't been around him in 6 months to see how he is and now it's not my concern anymore. I guess everyone has that free will to live the way they want to.

Prayer really works!!!

Ok sooo Happy Belated Halloween! It was a good one for me! I had my arainment fro my accident(I got the ticket) and the Judge asked me how I plead and I got teary eyed and replied,"I guess guilty" I have never been before a judge and it frightened me a little. I didn't sleep at all the nite before and woke up sick to my stomach too. So by the time I saw the Judge I was ready to ralph!!! But thank God I didn't. I was 4th in line to speak with the dude and so he asked me if I have ever had any accidents in the last 5 years and I said "No" then he asked if I had any tickets in the last 5 years and I said "yes, 4 days before the accident." So I had to explain myself and so then he gave me 2 options! 1: pay the 225 dollar fine or 2: go to traffic Safety class.....UM....big decision here....Ill take traffic safety class!
I hope every one is well! I am feeling better but still don't have a car so it's a little frustrating. Not being able to go when I want to have to keep my puppy in a kennel when I am gone and sometimes it's all day. Yea my cousin lets him out when I am gone but I don't think other people should be caring for my animal. Oh well!
Ok short and sweet got to get ready for Church!
