Living Life Abundantly

I believe that Thanksgiving should be every day. There is really no way to describe the way I feel but this video captures it exactly

I Thank God For My Blessings. God is Good! Happy Thanksgiving!

I ask if you have a heart for 2 reasons, the 1st being if you have one and its healthy don’t take it for granted be thankful. 2nd if you have one, are you willing to help someone in need of a heart get one?

There is a 16 year old girl named Jessica Harris in need of a heart transplant and insurance won’t cover it. She has a rare condition called Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS). At birth she was only expected to live for 30 minutes…she’s 16 now. Do you believe in miracles? With God all things are possible.

You can make a donation to help Jessica get the heart transplant that she needs by visiting her website at www.TheJessicaHarrisDream.com

BEST POEM IN THE WORLD (author unknown)

I was shocked, confused, bewildered As I entered Heaven’s door,
Not by the beauty of it all, Nor the lights or its decor.

But it was the folks in Heaven Who made me sputter and gasp–
The thieves, the liars, the sinners, The alcoholics and the trash.

There stood the kid from seventh grade Who swiped my lunch money twice.
Next to him was my old neighbor Who never said anything nice.

Herb, who I always thought Was rotting away in hell,
Was sitting pretty on cloud nine, Looking incredibly well.

I nudged Jesus, ‘What’s the deal? I would love to hear Your take.
How’d all these sinners get up here? God must’ve made a mistake.

‘And why is everyone so quiet, So somber – give me a clue.’
‘Hush, child,’ He said, ‘they’re all in shock. No one thought they’d be seeing you.’

JUDGE NOT!!

Remember…Just going to church doesn’t make you a Christian any more than standing in your garage makes you a car.

Every saint has a PAST…

Every sinner has a FUTURE!

“Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.” ~Matthew 7:1-5

Now it’s your turn… Share this poem!

I believe in myself.
I believe in those who work with me.
I believe in my employer.
I believe in my friends.
I believe in my family.

I believe that God will lend me everything I need with which to succeed if I do my best to earn it through faithful and honest service.

I believe in prayer and I will never close my eyes in sleep without praying for divine guidance to the end that I will be patient with other people and tolerant with those who do not believe as I do.

I believe that success is the result of intelligent effort and does not depend upon luck or sharp practices or double-crossing friends, fellow men or my employer.

I believe I will get out of life exactly what I put into it, therefore I will be careful to conduct myself toward others as I would want them to act toward me.

I will not slander those whom I do not like.

I will not slight my work no matter what I may see others doing.

I will render the best service of which I am capable because I have pledged myself to succeed in life and I know that success is always the result of conscientious and efficient effort.

Finally, I will forgive those who offend me because I realize that I shall sometimes offend others and I will need their forgiveness.

This is what Living Life Abundantly is about…

TEARS ARE FOR BABIES… WORRIES ARE FOR FOOLS….

When a man lifts you up, it’s definitely to the height of his hands, but when GOD lifts you up it’s limitless, seek HIM now and forsake all else and be uplifted forever!!!

Tell me about the law of gravity that states anything that goes up must come down and I will introduce you to the law of aerodynamics that states that it is possible that something can go up and remain there..

Before this year runs out, u shall find yourself somewhere that u can’t even bring yourself down.

Your blessings shall never come down, u shall never fail, the law of gravity will never work in your
Finances, business, family, all area of your life, etc.

The devil is a liar. You may be going through a tough time right now but God is getting ready to bless you in a way that only He can. Keep the faith.

The love of God is like the ocean, you can see its beginning, but not its end.. This message works from the day you receive it..

Pass this on to your true friends. Something good will happen to you; something that you have been waiting to hear. God honors His Words.

I wanted you to be the first to know that I have moved and to give you my new home address: I have moved from Beggars Alley located on Poverty Lane at the corner of Bleak and Busted Circle. As of today, I have a brand new home.

My new address is: 123 Living Well Drive in the Abundance Subdivision, located at the corners
of Blessings Street and Thankful Peak. You get there by taking the Praising Him Interstate, which runs North, South, East and West.

I no longer have to travel on Begging Peter to pay off Paul Route, because it is located at a dead-end intersection called: I Don’t Have, that crosses Borrowers’ Junction & Complaining Lane. THAT road does not lead to my new home.

I no longer hang out at Failure’s Place near Excuses Avenue, near the Procrastination Mall. I have moved on to an upscale community called Higher Heights with unlimited potential and opportunities for me to Succeed—-can’t you tell? Just look at me!

I met the neighbors and I love living next to them. Let me tell you about my new neighbors: The IT Family: Mr. CONCEIVE IT, Mrs. BELIEVE IT and sister ACT ON IT. Then there’s FAITH & HOPE from next door, Ms. PERSISTENT & Mr. POSITIVE across the street, Steve & Eve ACHIEVE from down the street AND my favorite neighbors are the family who live in a beautiful High Rise on the Penthouse Floor. The head of the house is God, he’s the Father, Jesus, his only Son and H.S. (who’s hardly home because he’s always traveling, he’s a real people person).

It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood! The best thing is that if you’re tired of living where you’re living, there are TONS of homes for sale in my new neighborhood!

Oh, just one thing I want to warn you about. There’s this Big DOG named BLESSINGS and every single time I leave my house he chases me down and overtakes me!! It’s like he’s everywhere!! I see Blessings in the city and Blessings in the fields, I see blessings when I come and when I go!! Since I can’t get away from him, I’ve learned to just expect him and Embrace him. Good thing he doesn’t bite!!

I am so thankful to be a product of my new environment. All of my clothes are now custom designed by the MASTER TAILOR and MADE to fit just me. I am dressed in life’s finest!! I have a new walk and a new talk all because I CHOSE TO MOVE!!

Life is good because: God is good.  Have you moved too?

Walking To The National Mall:

Once we emerged from the L’Enfant Plaza metro station and got over our initial shock… we were greeted with the bone chilling cold outside and even more shock!  The streets were packed. There were people walking in every direction as far as the eye could see… There were police cars, emergency vehicles, cops on foot, cops on horse, news vans, chartered buses, helicopters over head, and people people people every where and all over.

The streets were blocked off and navigating through the crowds was almost impossible. Willae and I had to figure out where to go and how to get to the Silver Ticket gate section as indicated on our tickets. Our big brother Marcus agreed to meet us at the Merry Go Round after the inauguration as we went on our quest to find the Silver Section…

It was no easy task by any stretch of the imagination… It was still dark and it was very cold but we pressed on…

When we finally found the line for Silver Ticket holders we were stricken with thoughts of would’ve could’ve should’ve…. We couldn’t help but think that we should’ve took our chances and camped out…but we knew we would’ve probably froze to death… so we really did make the best possible decision considering the circumstances.  That cold air was whipping through my body as we waited in that line and all I could ask myself was:

Was it Worth it?

Of course it was and I embraced it and waited with Willae and unlike many ticket holders we made it in!  Our day started early and now it was a wait game.  The gates opened at 8am (which meant we’d be waiting in the cold until close to noon for the swearing in ceremony to actually begin).

Well we were not as close as we’d like but again, we were grateful to be there.  The National Mall was completely filled with people.  The jumbo screen panned the entire area giving us an even better appreciation and perspective of how many of us were actually out there.

What we saw was breath taking and what we felt was amazing…  If there has ever been a Kumbaya moment this was it!

For those that don’t know, Kumbaya is a song.  Kumbaya means Come By Here.  Here’s an excerpt of the lyrics:

Kumbaya, my Lord, kumbaya……

…..Someone’s laughing, Lord, kumbaya….

….Someone’s crying, Lord, kumbaya….

….Someone’s praying, Lord, kumbaya….

…..Someone’s singing, Lord, kumbaya….

It is fair to say that in every direction we looked there we were people laughing, crying, praying, and singing (including us).  God was in the midst. The overall vibe at the National Mall was surreal, serene, and serendipituous. You could FEEL the LOVE. That Love is what sustained us all through that monstrous cold.  I believe it is that Love that will rebuild and reshape this country.

The Change We Can Believe In showed its face a million times over at the National Mall and all over the world!

I received this thought provoking and perhaps controversial article via email forward today. I say controversial because I’m certain some will object to the opinions expressed. No matter where you stand on the issue the author certainly provides some serious food for thought. Looking forward to your thoughts on the subject. Thanks for sharing this Coach Ace.

When are we going to get over it? by Andrew M. Manis

For much of the last 40 years, ever since America “fixed” its race problem in the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts, we white people have been impatient with African-Americans who continued to blame race for their difficulties. Often we have heard whites ask, “When are African-Americans finally going to get over it?” Now I want to ask “When are we white Americans going to get over our ridiculous obsession with skin color?”

Recent reports that “Election Spurs ‘Hundreds’ of Race Threats, Crimes” should frighten and infuriate every one of us. Having grown up in “Bombingham,” Ala., in the 1960s, I remember overhearing an avalanche of comments about what many white classmates and their parents wanted to do to John and Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King. Eventually, as you may recall, in all three cases, someone decided to do more than “talk the talk.” Since our recent presidential election, to our eternal shame, we are once again hearing the same reprehensible talk I remember from my boyhood.

We white people have controlled political life in the disunited colonies and United States for some 400 years on this continent. Conservative whites have been in power 28 of the last 40 years. Even during the eight Clinton years, conservatives in Congress blocked most of his agenda and pulled him to the right.

Yet never in that period did I read any headlines suggesting that anyone was calling for the assassinations of Presidents Nixon, Ford, Reagan or either of the Bushes. Criticize them, yes. Call for their impeachment, perhaps. But there were no bounties on their heads. And even when someone did try to kill Ronald Reagan, the perpetrator was a nonpolitical mental case who wanted merely to impress Jodie Foster.

But elect a liberal who happens to be black, and we’re back in the ’60s again. At this point in our history, we should be proud that we’ve proven what conservatives are always saying “” that in America anything is possible, electing a black man as president. But instead, we now hear schoolchildren from Maine to California are talking about wanting to “assassinate Obama.”

Fighting the urge to throw up, I can only ask, “How long?” How long before we white people realize we can’t make our nation, much less the whole world, look like us? How long until we white people can — once and for all — get over this hell-conceived preoccupation with skin color? How long until we white people get over the demonic conviction that white skin makes us superior? How long before we white people get over our bitter resentments about being demoted to the status of equality with nonwhites?

How long before we get over our expectations that we should be at the head of the line merely because of our white skin? How long until we white people end our silence and call out our peers when they share the latest racist jokes in the privacy of our white-only conversations? I believe in free speech, but how long until we white people start making racist loudmouths as socially uncomfortable as we do flag burners? How long until we white people will stop insisting that blacks exercise personal responsibility, build strong families, educate themselves enough to edit the Harvard Law Review, and work hard enough to become president of the United States, only to threaten to assassinate them when they do?

How long before we start “living out the true meaning” of our creeds, both civil and religious, that all men and women are created equal and that “red and yellow, black and white” all are precious in God’s sight?

Until this past Nov. 4, I didn’t believe this country would ever elect an African-American to the presidency. I still don’t believe I’ll live long enough to see us white people get over our racism problem. But here’s my three-point plan during the Obama administration: First, every day that Barack Obama lives in the White House that Black Slaves Built, I’m going to pray that God (and the Secret Service) will protect him and his family from us white people.

Second, I’m going to report to the FBI anyone I overhear saying, in seriousness or in jest, anything of a threatening nature about President Obama. Third, I’m going to pray to live long enough to see America surprise the world once again, when white people can sing of our damnable color prejudice, “We HAVE overcome.”

I’m a firm believer that with God ALL things are possible and that quantum physics is directly tied to spiritual laws and principles. I guess that explains why I found this video interesting. Check it out:

I know some folks will say its impossible to heal Yourself only God (or a doctor) can heal you. And others will take it even further and say its the work of the devil. Some will go even further. I’m fully prepared. I believe God is not bound to our Earthly imaginations, interpretations, and limitations. God is without limits. God can do anything and as my mom says (God can do anything but fail). The very act of prayer requires the mind doesn’t? So is it really impossible for someone to be healed from prayer which usually begins using the mind right? Check out this video before you answer that question:
