Time For Christmas Spirit.



I liked this song sent to me by a dear friend.

We seem to be sending our kids the wrong idea about Christmas.

Like we do with many things, we side tracked away from the the Birthday of Jesus
to St Nick so stores could profit.

And why did St Nick give presents to the poor?

He was touched by God to do good deeds for the less fortunate. He was touched by the idea of the three wise men who searched far and wide till they found the new born babe in swaddling clothes lying in a manger surrounded by animals and hay, bringing gifts of gold, myrrh and frankincense.
They saw something special in a child from a poor family. They saw spiritual greatness, love and hope for the future of mankind. Their gifts were nothing compared to the glory of God in the highest, this child represented to them.

St Nick believed in the Father , the Son and the Holy Spirit and because of this, he was deemed a Saint. People might not have known who he was but they knew of his goodness and the charity he showed to those less fortunate.
St Nick was a man of mystery.
His existence was based on faith as our belief in God is based on faith.

We, from our generation, remember lots of cookies, to give as gifts this time of year.
Pop corn strewn on a string to hang on the tree.
Home made candies and chocolates also hung on the tree.
Candles are now replaced by lights but they must have emitted an extraordinary halo around the tree at night adding to the splendor and magic of this holiday.
Outside the snow would glisten like diamonds under a starry sky
Many people dressed up a tree in their back yard for the animals to nibble on.
Further south where it was warm the tradition continued and people designed their own ways to celebrate and kids would be introduced to joy and God through gifts of kindness .

Lots of families made personal gifts in preparation for this big event of birth.
This was a time of year to give something personal to a loved one, to show how much their birth meant to them. The three wise men began a tradition of gift giving which was followed up by St Nick and thus the birth of Christmas, as we know it, was initiated, to brighten and enlighten the eyes of children all around the world.

Every year we'd make something special with the year written on it. A painted bulb , an egg or some gold and silver paper design for the tree. An angel would sit on top of the tree or a star.
Underneath we'd have the nativity scene we so gently pack to keep for the following years.
We'd go to church and bring presents to place under the tree for the needy.

Great memories.

So the above song rings in bells of hope that we can bring back the true meaning of Christmas
into perspective, the way it was meant to be and if you are looking for gifts to buy, support your community. Buy a person a gift card for a hair cut or an oil change or a good restaurant, support your cobbler, dry cleaner, local wine maker, butcher, knitting/quilting shop, dressmaker, etc...
Once they close down or move, they will be missed.

Have a good one.

It's A Great Day!!!!



You wake up in the morning feeling kinda dull like the weather and then you see the world all green and lush and you know, it's going to be a Great Day!!
--------------------------------
The Coat Hanger:
A woman was at work when she received a phone call that her small
daughter was very sick with a fever. She left her work and stopped by the
pharmacy to get some medication. She got back to her car and found
that
she had locked her keys in the car.

She didn't know what to do, so she called home and told the baby
sitter
what had happened. The baby sitter told her that the fever was
getting
worse. She said, "You might find a coat hanger and use that to open the
door."

The woman looked around and found an old rusty coat hanger that had
been
left on the ground, possibly by someone else who at some time had
locked
their keys in their car. She looked at the hanger and said, "I don't
know
how to use this." She bowed her head and asked God to send her help.

Within five minutes a beat up old motor cycle pulled up, with a dirty,
greasy, bearded man who was wearing an old biker skull rag on his head.

The woman thought, "This is what you sent to help me?" But, she was
desperate, so she was also very thankful.

The man got off of his cycle and asked if he could help.

She said, "Yes, my daughter is very sick. I stopped to get her some
medication and I locked my keys in my car. I must get home to her.
Please, can you use this hanger to unlock my car?"

He said, "Sure." He walked over to the car, and in less than a minute
the car was opened. She hugged the man and through her tears she
said,

"Thank You So Much! You are a very nice man."

The man replied, "Lady, I am not a nice man. I just got out of
prison
today. I was in prison for car theft and have only been out for
about an hour."

The woman hugged the man again and with sobbing tears cried out loud,
'Oh, thank you God! You even sent me a Professional!'

Is GOD GOOD - or what!
------------------------------------------------
Two little old ladies were sitting on a park bench outside the local town hall where a flower show was in progress.

The older one leaned over and said, ''Life is so boring. We never have any fun anymore. For $10.00 I'd take my clothes off and streak through that stupid, boring flower show!''

''You're on!'' said the other old lady, holding up a $10.00 note.

The first little old lady slowly fumbled her way out of her clothes and completely naked, streaked (as fast as an old lady can) through the front door of the flower show.

Waiting outside, her friend soon heard a huge commotion inside the hall, followed by loud applause and shrill whistling.

Finally, the smiling and naked old lady came through the exit door surrounded by a cheering, clapping crowd.

''What happened?'' asked her waiting friend.

''I won $1000 as 1st prize for 'Best Dried Arrangement'.''


I thought it was funny lol :):):)

A Molten String of Love and Trust


George Carlin said man has thrown away all sense of sanity. He has not been using his gift of a brain to live and make peace with mankind animals nor the environment.
As a result man struggles to survive every day.
The world lacks in tolerance and forgiveness.
People become cold, calculating and greedy.
As the negative instead of the positive become entrenched into daily life,
people and planet become weaker for how can you win, fighting against yourself?

There is no yin and yang in life.
There is only one, tied together, by positive and negative forces.
These magnetic forces do not separate us but tie us all together.

United we stand - Divided we fall.
So work ....... united.
-------------------------------------

The flickering lights in a deep dark sky
Know when we're apart
For one by one they fall and die
Like cinders in my heart
You leave me always in despair
Each time you go away
You break me up and leave my life
In cruel disarray.

I sit and watch the stars by night
And wonder if they could
Just for an instant make you stop
And take a good long look
Reflect upon what we do have
Each others' strong embrace
Our eyes could see each others' soul
Through crowds and walls and distant space.

There is only you and me
a child and a small dog
A love so pure and molten
No sword or knife could cut.

But then when you're away my dear
The view becomes a haze
Other stars begin to carry
The string of memories we made.
And we're lost between their lights
And search in vain, to find
The string that held us close ,
A flutter and untied

The Universe sits in splendor
It's colored and lit up
A fireworks display of motion
Disappears as fast as it lights up
And every day I sit a thinkin
It can never be untied..........

Melted hot and molten
Our silken string is strong
No sword or knife can cut it
or untie it in wind.

A Lady's Life
------------------------------------

Little Johnny and his family were having Sunday dinner at his Grandmother's house. Everyone was seated around the table as the food was being served.
When Little Johnny received his plate, he started eating right away. 'Johnny! Please wait until we say our prayer.' said his mother.

'I don't need to,' the boy replied. 'Of course, you do.' his mother insisted. 'We always say a prayer before eating at our house.' 'That's at our house.' Johnny explained. 'But this is Grandma's house and she knows how to cook!'
------------------------------

Pete was in the restaurant yesterday when suddenly realized he desperately
needed to pass gas. The music was really, really loud, so he timed his
gas with the beat of the music.

After a couple of songs, he started to feel better. he finished his coffee,
and noticed that everybody was staring at him....

Then he suddenly remembered that he was listening to his iPod.

--------------------------
When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they quickly discovered that ballpoint pens would not work in zero gravity. To combat the problem, NASA scientists spent a decade and $12 billion to develop a pen that writes in zero gravity, upside down, underwater, on almost any surface including glass and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to 300°C.
The Russians used a pencil.

GOOD FRIDAY

Posted by Picasa
Rubens

Good Friday

Many Orthodox Christian churches often observe Good Friday at a later date than the Good Friday date observed by many western churches.
Good Friday focuses on Jesus Christ’s death, which is described in the Christian bible.

The day is also known as Great Friday, Holy Friday, and Holy and Great Friday

What do people do?

Great Friday is a strict day of fasting for many Orthodox Christians .

Some Orthodox churches begin observing Holy Friday on Thursday night where the liturgy’s main feature is the reading of 12 sections from the gospels, all of which are accounts of Jesus Christ’s passion.
Other churches may have a Good Friday liturgy in the evening. Some priests remove icons of Jesus from crosses and wrap them in linen to reenact ancient burial rites.

Some Orthodox Bulgarian churches have special traditions, which include allowing people to pass under a table in the middle of the church and light a candle after the church bell rings.

This ritual is believed to wash away one’s sins. Many families of the Orthodox Christian faith may spend time on Great Friday to decorate Easter eggs as part of the Easter preparations.

Background

Many Orthodox churches retained the Julian calendar after the Gregorian calendar was introduced in Europe in 1582.
Therefore they often follow a different Easter date compared with many western churches. Easter holidays, such as Good Friday, are “moveable feasts” as these dates change according to calendar calculations.

There are different types of Orthodox churches that are well established in the United States.

Some of these churches include the Greek Hellenic Orthodox Church, the Romanian Orthodox Episcopate of America, and the Russian Orthodox Church.

The Russian Orthodox Church in North America can be traced back to the late 18th century, where a Russian church was built on Kodiak Island in Alaska during that period.
Alaska was previously part of Russia. The number of Greek Orthodox churches grew as Greek immigration increased after the late 19th century in the United States.

Symbols

Many Orthodox Christian families prepare Easter eggs, which are beautifully decorated and often dyed red to symbolize the Jesus Christ’s blood.

Jesus died to prepare mankind for his Fathers World
He died in Faith
He died leaving people to believe he would resurrect into life everlasting.

His death brought upon dark clouds and a storm they say.

Today I look out my window and the wind has been blowing a few days now threatening
stormy weather.
Is it a fluke?

I have noticed it before in previous years.

Joy of Easter.

Posted by Picasa



Easter is a beautiful ceremony in the

Russian /Ukrainian Orthodox Religion.

If people have a chance to go see one such ceremony it is worth their while

The church is all decked out. Christs’ coffin is there, surrounded by candles, white lilies and other flowers

The candles are lit and the whole place looks and smells so holy with incense.


The ceremony is an all night mass and people have to stand as there are no benches or chairs.

Maybe some churches have benches I don’t know. Old people sit up front.

Women on the left and men on the right

I guess you are allowed to bring your own chair.

The choir is unbelievably beautiful

People get their blessings

There is a procession around the block with candles.
Then the church gives every one a hard boiled colored egg.

When Christ has risen every one rejoices and lots of kissing takes place
and then everyone goes downstairs to bless the
Easter bread, cheese, kolbassa’s and eggs basket.

This is the best part because then you exchange your eggs with friends and strangers.

Every one is happy on this day.

You get home around 5 am just in time for breakfast and you feast on the food that was just blessed.

It gives you a very glowing feeling to know that today you

Took part with Mother Mary, in the death and resurrection of her beloved son,
the son of God.
You cried with her and you rejoiced with her.

There is not one Mother there, who doesn’t feel the trials and tribulations of a Mother’s broken heart.
There is not one Mother who doesn’t feel the glory of God as he gives back to her the son she thought she would never see hear or speak to again.

It is a miracle and those who have known pain, sickness and hopelessness, can once

again believe that with God’s help, good things do happen.

When you get home, the air smells fresher, the flowers seem brighter, and life seems to have turned a new page

You have a fresh outlook, new ideas and a new reason for living.

This is why we have such traditions.
They are to remind us who we are and what is expected of us.

They remind us that just when things can seem so hopeless,

there is suddenly a light that shines upon your head

lightening the load in your soul and things don’t seem so dark anymore.

You can soldier on and fix everything that’s broken.

People chant thrice

Christ has Risen! Christ Has Risen! Christ has Risen!

Rejoice man kind, for Christ has risen for you.

We Are Forgiven

Posted by Picasa


One must never forget why Adam and Eve were thrown out of paradise.They disobeyed God and God was angry but he understood why they did what they did.
God loved man and he had faith in him but God also wanted man to have faith in him. God showed man good will by letting him go.

Man is worthy if he follows Jesus.
Man is worthy if he doesn't follow Jesus.
Jesus asked his Father to forgive us for we know not what we do.
Jesus forgave Juda for betraying him and Juda knew that he knew.
Imagine how this must have played in his head?
Jesus forgave Mary Magdaline.
Jesus forgave the crucified criminals.

Jesus's last words were: Father, why have you forsaken me?
But he was resurrected so again, God came through for him and for mankind.
Jesus was not forsaken as neither will man be.

This is the story that Christianity is based on......Hope .....Faith.

It has always been a question of trust and faith which Adam and Eve did not have.

The Christian religion is ingenious. There is none like it in the world.

Of course there will always be false prophets and we are warned about them and told to use our heads.
Isn't this true freedom, to be given a right to decide for ourselves and time to make the right decision through coming to an understanding?

In the end, God will show us TRUTH and we will be educated.
This is why God doesn't fear the devil because the devil is not about TRUTH but its' manipulation.
The thing about TRUTH is that, in the end, you must either understand it or self destruct because you can't.
This is the way our minds were constructed by God.
He knows who we are.

That is the plan but first God is giving us time to do what we need to do to obtain understanding because it is important to us, not to him.

God recognized man's need to understand first before he could himself be trusted by man.Being smart he must have known that there is only so much arguing one can do with oneself lol
If God was ever to have a friend and not be ONE, it had to be based on truth.
We do not know the whole story behind that.
We only know God did not want to be alone.

In the end, it is between man and God as it was between Jesus and God.

Religion isn't about clothing, food, torture or judgement. These directions were given to us because we did not know about germs or dust or social etiquette etc... elements which were harmful to us not to know. Since then man has progressed.

Religion is about forgiveness and love.
How do you judge a humble shepherd leading innocent lambs?

When you have peace because you understand, it is better than begetting peace through the sword.
Man is like a dog or horse who would give its life for someone it loves but will never risk losing its life to help an owner, if the owner is harsh and beats it.

This is why I believe in Jesus.

He had a message of TRUTH I think was worth sending forward .
His Truth crosses generations because some things just never change.
It doesn't matter who you are or what station you hold in life, there is something
for every one, found in the teachings of a humble shepherd.

AND

we are all forgiven.
We were forgiven the day God let Adam and Eve live.

No Miracles

Posted by Picasa


French movies are very different from what we watch here in North America. They seem to be closer to the essence of what real life is.

Like today, I watched a movie with subtitles about a man who woke up from a coma and found he was paralyzed from the neck down.
They even sewed up one eye because it wouldn’t tear and they wanted to save it.

He could not talk, so he had to blink for “yes” or “ no”, to communicate.

It was a hard battle for him to relearn how to talk let alone write a book blinking one letter at a time.

He had a family who would come visit and take him on outings with him. He'd watch his two children play and entertain him because he was Dad.

The movie was about his thoughts because he now saw that although his life was loose and immoral, with lots of wine, women and song, it was only the mother of his children and the children who valued him, when others laughed and
mimicked his seemingly vegetative state.

It reminded me of a book we read in High school : Johnny Got his Gun but this young soldier woke up with no arms legs hearing or face. The only way he could communicate was through head banging for “yes” and “no” .

Neither story is a life one wants to live.

To be imprisoned in your head is not an ideal one longs for... and yet, we are all in our heads.

In the end he began to believe that this was just a dream, that he was still in a coma and would one day wake up and live a normal life.

This belief gave him hope and a desire to live, even if it was in his head.
He was able to enjoy life and laugh at people, their silliness and awkwardness as they struggled to make it..... life...... work for them selves.

He could see himself in them, except now he was above it all. He reached a state of higher maturity and understanding. Things which mattered, didn’t matter anymore.
He had lots to fall back on and relate to.

He was able to finally find a little joy in his state of affairs.

I believe eventually Parkinson’s patients must end up this way as well, once their nervous system gives out and fails to send messages to other parts of their body.
I knew this was the case with my Mom.

But as long as there is hope, then I guess everything is bearable.

While I was watching this French movie, multi tasking, I came across a story about the Virgin Mary and people on the net, scoffing at her virginity .

The French movie came to a portion whereby the Wife took this paralyzed man to church where miracles had been witnessed.

He, himself, was not a religious man but had nothing to say in the matter and so the wife spoke for him to the priest. He got his communion and a prayer for a miracle.

No one wants to believe Mary producing a virgin birth because it would definitely be classified as a miracle and yet in life, miracles happen everyday.

Doctors perform surgery with hands guided by nothing short of Gods will. Cancers cure by themselves.
We all have cancer but it takes a strong immune system to keep it under control. Miracle?

The blind see. The deaf hear. Accidents are prevented. Bombs don’t explode. The premature continue to grow and strengthen. Goals are scored miraculously without hindsight. The win is either yours or it isn't. It's already written up for you beforehand.

There are so many stories that have no explanation except that they all must be a result of God’s will.

Incurable diseases get cured.

It’s as if there is such a thing as mind over matter.

Say no to Satan and he will leave your body and make it whole again.

Say yes to God and he will fill your mind with strength to beat the most horrible of all odds.

He will regenerate what seemed to be lost forever.

I don’t know but today seemed to be a day of miracles for me. The way things fell into place so I could sit down, understanding it and write about it.

What people do not seem to understand, is that even with all your faculties in order, people fail to communicate. To communicate requires understanding.

Not understanding and failing to communicate, leads to other problems our society seems to be suffering in. Wars, immorality, hunger, sickness etc.....all of our problems stem from not being able to understand or communicate.

To be able to communicate, with or without all your faculties, is indeed a miracle.
Does it take a paralyzed person to see this or perhaps .....the innocent?
Then why are we lost, with all the knowledge we obtain from life and living?

Something to think about.

Leaf Whisper of Hope.

Posted by Picasa



An Indian tracker took some pioneers through the plains in the mid-1800's.
Suddenly he stopped and pointed. "Bear have babies." He said.

One of the younger pioneers ran up and asked, "How'd you know that!?."

"I know these things," replied the Indian.

They continued their journey, and a little while later the Indian stopped, pointed, and said:
"Deer tracks."

"How'd you know that!?" asked the young pioneer once again.

"I know these things."

After another hour of journeying, the Indian jumped of his horse and put his ear to the ground. "Buffalo come."

"How'd you know that!?"

"Ear wet."


CHANGE AND HOPE IS ALL AROUND US.

WE CAN"T SAY NO



People today are grasping at straws. They yearn for something good to happen.

They are tired of lies, of taxes, of imbalance, of being led by the nose by banks, companies,
false leaders and prophets.

They are tired of being pushed into the myth that Chaos is good because it creates more jobs.
There is just too many people hurt by chaos and so how is this change..... for the better?

Technology is good but it forces you into a faster lifestyle which doesn't give you time to think or reflect on where you are going or what the consequences of your decisions will be or even to pace yourself.
The days go by faster, the nights are not long enough.

Tired, strung out, you look for peace. There is no more fight left in you, no struggling because people are worn out by constant, unending turbulence, from and by those, who will not take NO for an answer.
Common sense has flown out the window.

You can still teach puppies NO but you can't teach your children or the world NO.

They have taken that right away from you, as we have taken it away from God.

The moment they go to school, you lose your children.
They go in with bright eyes, full of confidence and hope and promise and come out dazed,
confused, arrogant, disenchanted.
Their dreams are ripped out from under them, by the very people and system who are there to teach them.

Kids come out fighting, telling you , that you don't understand the world.
You don't know how it is? It's all changed they say.

You think........ truth .....out of the mouth of babes.
Truth .......that once came out of your mouth as well. lol

Now who told them these lies?
And what gives people the right to do that,
rob children, of their rights to be children?

People have lived throughout time, and as the old end their lives and die and the new begin, NOTHING in life has changed.

It's just different people ,doing the same things, with different technology.

We still have jelousies, greed, stubbornness, lies, corruption, fraud.

We still have romance, love, hope, inspiration, desire, passion.

We still have mental illness, insanity, disagreements, cruelty, pain, disease, prisons, torture, self torture.

We still have life and death, war. Our blood is and still runs red.

Laws and politics have done nothing to change things.

We try to change things, to make it easier for people but it backfires on us and stays difficult because saying NO and accepting the word NO ... has always been our problem from the days of Adam and Eve.
All our efforts to change things and do otherwise, have amounted to nothing and are failing us.

We do not see how many good things we have lost, by making the word NO something we refuse to accept.

Now, instead of having a trained puppy, who understands .......NO,
peeing on the floor is wrong,
we have every one objecting to NO and saying
we will pee on the floor if we want to.
No one can stop us.
What are you going to do ?
Nothing.
Because you have no right to.

Nothing has changed.
We fight to stop people from beating others and replaced it with people becoming their own worst enemy and beating up on themselves and then still keeping it your problem, yours to carry on your back, as Jesus carried the cross for our sins... but.. you still can't say and accept the word NO.

You can't say NO. Man is born equal. He just refuses to accept that word and angers God and Jesus said ............it's cause we don't understand.

Hope and faith is lost because only God can give you these things and he's being bullied out of existence, blamed for the world's problems.

No one sees, it's not God who is to be blamed, it's our interpretation of him.
It's our interpretation of all the words in our vocabulary.

How can we ALL be children of God, and then say he is taking sides, making one go against the other?
God said NO to both Adam and Eve which means ,Adam and Eve were equal in his eyes.
Is Adam and Eve equal in our eyes?

Man's Laws have hidden the meaning of Common sense but hope and faith and common sense isn't lost. We are.
These words are still there, if you look for them and want them bad enough .....but along with them, comes the word NO.

Nothing changes in life.

We want what we have lost, we search for it and will continue to search but God has made it clear, that You still can't say NO ....to God.
Jesus bought us time to learn what the meaning of the word is, so we can accept it.

AND WHAT IS GOD?
He is love and peace and
He is in every one of us.

Hope and Faith, Love and Peace is found in understanding the meaning of the word NO and having trust and the
good will to believe in it.

We teach a puppy the word NO and the puppy has love and good will, trust and it wants to be your friend, enough to want to please you and pee outside.

But people????? God tries to teach them NO, but people are like wild
undomesticated animals.

Every day we pass laws saying wild animals cannot be trained AND HAVE NO PLACE IN CITIES . They can't be brought into the house because they will always pee on the floor.

They will turn on you because they will not take NO for an answer.
Why.... because they don't understand what it means.
How does this make wild animals different from mankind?

How can we ask God to invite us into his house, when we refuse to invite them who will not take NO for an answer, into our own?

We all know the 10 Commandments which teach us the word NO.

So we have to ask ourselves a question.

Who is better and smarter and more deserving of God and heaven and peace and love and of answers to all our questions, hopes and dreams?

Man........ or dog?

Who should God open his doors to?

We alienate him today because we know his doors will be closed.
Why?

Because WE CAN"T SAY NO.
