Good Morning


Its' a new day with breakfast of Pancakes and butter and warm syrup and of course, milk.

Prayer starts our day and giving Thanks for our food.

Part Two of or story of counting our blessings by Parents or siblings or friends or people we meet of all ages that come into our lives.


Pig, you get one shot at it.

What shot? Pig asked. Its'an expression Pig, that means : You only live once.

You have a time to be born and a time to die and then the judgement.


Hebrews 9:27-28

Pig says' that sounds scary. For some it will be and for others joy unspeakable and full of The Glory of GOD. 1 Peter 1-8

Pig, knowing GOD as your Personal Lord and Savior, Jesus will say to you.

Well done. you good and faithful servant. Mathew 25:23


To the others sadly, to weeping and snashing of teeth and eternal darkness.

JESUS said, I never knew you. Mathew 25:12 and Mathew 13:42


Reading these chapters will give you more understanding of the why?

But this is the bottom line.


Decide to do good instead of evil.

Knowing God of heaven which came down to earth to take

away the sins of all mankind so you could go to heaven.

JESUS who died on the cross for you and saved you from sin when you said Yes.

Please come into my heart and forgive me. I will live for you instead of living to

and for myself.

Its your choice to say Yes or No to JESUS.


If you have been serving the devil you need to say no more I choose JESUS.

I renounce The God of this of world His name Satan. I deny Him NOW.

I will serve YOU ONLY JESUS.

Your name is above all Names. You are King of Kings and Lord of Lords. You are the Savior of The World.


YOUR CHOICE... and being luke warm choosing neither doesnt' work either.

You have two choices thats it. Pig said, that sound pretty simple.

Yep.

Even a child can understand that If you are hearing about JESUS now?

A Simple Prayer:

Forgive me I believe you are GOD.

I know You died on a cross for my sins and rose again from the Grave on the 3rd day.

Please come into my heart.

Live in me.

Thank You.


JESUS knows your heart and a Simple Prayer of wanting to live for JESUS will do.

You can make your Own Prayer up. To commit your life to JESUS.

In JESUS Name

Amen.

When we are living for the pleasures and riches and for exclusively for ourselves now and just for yourself. There are consequeces.

As Mother has taught us, choose wisely because you will reap what you sew.


Pig, it is so important to treasure the kindness given you and the truth shared from the Bible wherever it comes.

Read by a child or a Grandpa or neighbor or even a stuffed Pig sharing,

The Words of GOD.


To know the Greatest story ever told, gives the meaning of life we are all looking for.

Pig smiled and agreed as she sat by my side to continue listening.


I will always be so grateful that GOD chose my Mother to be my Mother. We knew her as children so many things about her that we loved.

  1. She loved us.

  2. She loved reading to us.

  3. Encouraging us.

and said to go follow your dreams, that you can do it .

  1. Don't let obstacles stand in your way. Do what you can and GOD and your destiny will do the rest.

  2. Remember, Can't does nothing..

  3. Try and then try again. Don't give up. Its not always easy to get what you want to achieve. Its worth the effort to keep going.

  4. Every day is precious make sure you don't waste it by doing nothing.

You can't get this day back .

  1. Choices you make good or bad are made daily be careful how you choose.

9. We have Prayer and GOD to help us.

10. GOD that loves us will help us all to get back on track when

we mess up.

Then, Pig got excited and said

Stop, Drop and Pray that's my motto I live by.


Funny Pig, I know your lots of your Mottos' Pig. Like, Pancakes, Prayer and Praise.

This we Know .

Pig smiles and said, Yep.


Her Motto is Also

Is to Just keep it Simple .


When Pig is sharing GOD.

The Real story of Christmas and Easter and to say,

Yes, to JESUS

Pig says,Keep it simple.

Pray,

I beieve you are GOD

Forgive me of my sins.

Come into my heart.

Live in me.

I will live for you all the days of my life.

In JESUS Name

Amen.

I love that Pig.

That is all the sermon we need.

Pig agreed.

.

As I continued to let her know, what Mother would say to us.

She would sit by our side and share.

I know school is not fun and some jobs that we all do every day. You are alive to enjoy the day that GOD has given you. You are made special with gifts and a purpose. You will be able to do fun stuff when the day is done and throughout your life. So don't worry or fret.


Pray,Pray,Pray and be encouraged.

Even if it is a whisper or you pray in your mind.

HE hears you.


Mother would tell us Remember, what is important to you is important to HIM who made you.


You are here for a reason. Mother she would say, either at School or work or wherever you are?

Your mission is to encourage someone else.

To put on your Smile.

Mothers would say Put your lips on. Which meant to put your chapstick on or lipstick to make your smile shiny.


To be an example for someone or

To Pray with someone or to help someone if you are able to.


You never know what the reason?

GOD has put you in this certain place in time.

It's an adventure of the day and it's called life.


Just know you are not alone.

GOD says, HE WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU OR FORSAKE YOU

Even UNTIL THE END OF TIME

Deuteronomy 13:8

Even then when it's your time to go old or young.

HE is with you.


You can get through another day with the attitude like my Granny had.

She, was always expecting something good with a smile.

Instead of Eeeyore and his sad face.

When something bad happens in your day, let it go. Shake it off like a wet dog.

Then begin again as if nothing can shake you as you continue to Pray and coninue your day.

Then Pig laughed and said,

Thats sounds funny. As she tried to shake her fluffy body a little bit.

Ok, she said now, begin my day again.

Funny Pig.


Pig, and I think of all kinds of things to make each task we do to make it more fun.

That's how I raised My children and Pig too.

It's our Motto from

MARY POPPINS MOVIE

with every task there is to be done, there is and element of fun.

Find the fun and it's a game.


Whether you are old or young

this still applies.


So let us Give Thanks with a grateful heart. Granny lived through hard times in her life.

She learned to be very thankful for the Big and little things because she said, they all count.

As My Granny said:

  1. Come expecting good things every day.

  2. GOD has Blessings in your day.

  3. Sometimes you need to go find them.

  4. Do good things not bad.

  5. Say, Please and Thank you.

  6. Have a Kleenex or hankie in your pocket.

Always have clean underwater on and wear clean socks.

What a thing to say, but she did.


7. Always have something good to say when people ask you.

How are you? Make sure to ask the same and be sincere.


8. Know the Pledge of allegiance to the flag Say it with your hand over your heart as to HONOR to those that died for our FREEDOM.


9. Know The LORDS PRAYER

  1. Know The Ten Commandments

11. Give Thanks in Prayer at night and over your meals wherever you are. Be an example.

12. LOVE GOD with all your heart and love the family GOD gave you.

13. To love and learn from every day of your life. Be wise and if they are difficult to love.

14. Stay at a distance and pray and love them there until things change use wisdom.


The words of Granny was to Be THANKFUL that is what Granny learned in her life.


Pig all I can say, is you would have loved to of met my Granny .

I know she would have told fun stories with you and you and her would have have been entertaining.


This is your day that starts the week.

This is the day that

THE LORD

HAS made

Let us rejoice and

BE GLAD in it.

Psalm 118:24


Pig said, let's think of something fun to do that sets this day a part from others.

and then she look at me with such sincerity

Let us GiveThanks to the one who made us❤️


We instinctively together bowed our heads and Prayed.

Thank you Lord for everthing.

We are so grateful.

Help us today and guide us in your perfect will.

Help us to walk in your forgiveness as we also forgive others.


Guard our lives and protect our mind body and soul.

May we live our life to reflect the beauty of the love you give us to give to others .

Praying Peace to Israel.

Praying Peace to America my home.

Praying Peace to our neighbors and those we meet today.

Praying Peace to our families.

Praying health and restoration too,

In every part of our lives.

Protect our dreams and hopes for the future for our children and grandchildren those we know and for our dreams too.
