The Resurrection applies.....

Somewhere right now a Christian is taking his or her last drink. Their self-will is being reduced to a manageable level. They have stopped reading and repeating scripture and have started to study the Bible to show themselves approved. The teachings and Spirit of Jesus Christ have started to become the Substance of their faith. Things that were taken to heart and put between their relationship with Our Father are being removed. The process of a personal salvation has begun. A resurrection into a born again/new life if you will. Happy Easter weekend.

Good old days

We were on fb last night remembering the good ole days as kids and the differences between today's children. Their xboxes, their sense of self entitlement to eat what they want. Tell their parents no. Reject playing outside for the comfort of inside play and staying in adult faces. I was thinking as elders. If the way our parents raised us is still in our spirits. Than in a sense they are not old, but waiting to be applied by today's parents of infants. They already know that raising your kids as "Oh by the way items" and pacifying them with video games, etc. doesn't work! They may be tired of hearing the stories of how we were raised, but we need to keep telling them for constructive suggestion.

Feeding my spirit!

I feel no self righteousness in being saved or the process. I feel grace and mercy. A sense of "there but for God go I". I didn't do a lot to deserve still being here, but I sure plan on doing somethings too hold this peace and contentment. This is my effort to put a smile in your heart. Now you water it. Because there's plenty of sunshine to grow it. One Love.

 

PERFECT SPIRIT

There is a perfect spirit inside of me. A Holy Spirit if you will. I have known it was there since I was a little boy. I didn't know at that time it was my essence. I didn't know that through my struggles with my addiction of MORE. That the spirit was what stopped me from becoming a bad person. Now don't get me wrong. I did plenty of BAD things to myself and others. Situations and circumstances put me a in spot where little by little I started to listen to that Holy Spirit. I started to follow the teachings and Spirit of Jesus Christ on a individual basis. More often than not these days. My spirit tells my mind what to do and the order is passed on to my body. I'm very grateful this morning and want and want to break off a piece of that gratitude to all my family and friends. God loves us all. No matter our present station in life.
