The truth!

“The human voice can never reach the distance that is covered by the still small voice of conscience.”
Mahatma Ghandi

A baby's conversation with God

A baby asked God, 'They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?' God said, 'Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you.'

The child further inquired, 'But tell me, here in heaven I don't have to do anything but sing and smile to be happy.' God said, 'Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you. And you will feel your angel's love and be very happy.'

Again the child asked, 'And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me if I don't know the language?' God said, 'Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak.'

'And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?' and God replied, 'Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray.'

'Who will protect me?'
God said, 'Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life.'

'But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore.' God said, 'Your angel will always talk to you about Me and will teach you the way to come back to Me, even though I will always be next to you.'


At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth could be heard and the child hurriedly asked, 'God, if I am to leave now, please tell me my angel's name.'

And God said, 'You will simply call her, 'Mom.'

New Life

There's something about a baby being born that really just reminds you of the whole meaning of life... the joy, the pain of bringing new life into this world, the love that you feel when see this new tiny little person who is blessing you by letting you love them.... completely unconditional. They don't care who you used to be.. they don't care how much money you have.. they don't care about anything as long as you love them and take care of them. They are completely dependent upon you... kinda brings into focus the verse in Matthew 18:2.. when the disciples were asking who would be the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?? and Jesus answered "I tell you the truth, unless you chage and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven."

Little children love unconditionally, little children love unconditionally, UNCONDITIONALLY~ They trust you, they depend on you, they don't want to leave your side, they love spending time with you, they get excited to tell you things... the way we should be with our heavenly father.

It's not a coincidence that Jesus tells us
"A new command I give you. Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. BY THIS ALL MEN WILL KNOW THAT YOU ARE MY DISCIPLES, if you love one another" John 13:34 & 35

Love one another... unconditionally . . . become like a little child . . .

Sometimes....

Sometimes we assume we know how other people feel...
Sometimes we don't approach a situation because we don't want to feel like we're butting in....
Sometimes we stop ourselves from saying what God wants us to tell other people...
Sometimes we just need courage....
Sometimes we just need SLEEP...lol
Sometimes we just need to stop and smell the lilacs..(ya it's suppossed to be roses, but lilacs were my mom's favorites...and my sweet Gavin brought me some home from his special grandpa Ronnie's house)
Sometimes I have to remind myself to just CHILL OUT!
Sometimes Brandon says I'm "random"...how funny is that coming from a 3 year old...
Sometimes I don't appreciate what I do have because I'm too busy looking at what I don't...
Sometimes I really wished I lived closer to my sister and nieces...
Sometimes I think I know what God's up to and then he suprises me again...
Sometimes I just have a lot of things built up in my head that I need to type...LOL
