Handicapped

The real handicap

I have a handicapped brother you see, and oh he is an embarrassment to me.

I don’t like to tell folks about him, I don’t want to be seen with him cause folks point and stare and I don’t think that’s fair. I mean I am normal so why do they have to look at me like that, what I have I done, I only want to have some fun. I beg my parents not to take him out when I have things to do, it might scare others, I keep telling myself this is true. He yells and drools, and sometimes he just plain stinks, oh my gosh what will others think?  I have a handicap you see, I am sometimes loud and annoying, I often want my way, and often I don’t help others out in a day, sometimes I yell,  and my attitude just plain stinks, what must God think. But He extends his grace to me so that I can be free, so why can’t I do to others what he has done for me. I have a handicapped brother you see and now I am as proud as can be.

Truth

I was sitting here thinking just now, about churches, we went to a really nice little church this morning that preached Gods word and only Gods word. And the people were genuine, no false pretenses just to get you in the church doors, make you a member and get your tithes. Witch makes me wonder, are we willing to be the minority for Jesus, for if we are preaching the truth sad to say, we will be asked to leave some churches, we will not have friends, for they will opt to stay were it is comfortable and there is a false sense of security. I have learned from experience that I would rather be someone who loves Jesus and his word and lives for truth then a pew sitter with a false sense of security. Genuine faith is going to ask you to give some things up, Jesus was not just killed for our sins, he was killed because he spoke the truth. He was different, he did not dress fancy or go to a big church or have fancy programs, he was a simple man, who probably would be asked to leave most churches , because he spoke the truth and did not dress the part of a Christian. So my question in all this is, would you be willing to leave your church, your friends your so called security, for the simple and unbridled truth of God. For he is asking it of us, the problem is we are just not listing.

To abide in Christ is to truly Live

To see but not to see makes one blind, to hear but not to hear makes one deaf. To say I love you and that not to love, makes one hateful. To say I am a Christian and then live a lie, makes you a hypocrite. We are human with a spiritual soul, and only one can make us whole. Jesus my rock and salvation the author of creation. And to truly learn to live, I must die, to my own will and desires I must say goodbye, for in giving Him my all, I truly learn to live, I faithfully learn to give. I give myself to helping those around me, and truly seeing, hearing, and loving, I learn to really walk as a Christan a human saved by grace, a mortal in an immortal race. One who must to others show the love I was freely given, this is what makes me driven, driven to give all I can give, for in giving and loving I devotedly learn to live.

Stand

Stand the test of time, when others around you are blind. When you are told your wrong and you feel you  can't go on stand. Stand the the test of time, even when your at the end of the line, stand up and fight the  good fight even when day turns to night. Stand when all feels wrong and nothings seems to go right, Stand for God, stand for truth, Stand when your alone and everyone else has left and when you have done all to stand- STAND!

Once again I post

Just thought  I would jot down some random thoughts, I have been looking for work it is not easy . Wilkes county is dead, dead business, dead jobs, walking dead people LOL. Any way that is the way it feels, but God is good and he will provide. So for now and always I will trust Him

Beauty in Death

I went walking in a Cemetery today, something I love to do, I came across this really cool quote on a tombstone. "The life of one we love is never lost, its influence goes on through all the lives it ever touched." I thought to myself wow, how neat I want my tombstone to say something similar. I just want to be able to touch the lives around me with love and care. I don't need to be famous or rich, or even live the American dream, I just need to be aware of those around me, help those in need, and live my Life for God. So that even in death there will be beauty.

Thank God

Have you ever woken up, and just thanked God for the day, knowing that it could turn out to be good or bad? Have you thanked Him for your day even if it was bad, and did you remember to thank Him when it was good?
This life is not our own and we need to remember to thank our heavenly father daily for all His benefits. He is a kind and loving father, so each and every day remember to say Thanks dad
