“For many of us we may look back at photos of our childhood and even back to when our babies where younger..and when we married..and at our families..and just reminiscing over our lives..and at how much everything has changed..and how quickly it changed..it never really seems like it when were living it out..but when we look back it seems like it was not so long ago..Amen..and we can see mistakes that were made..we can see the part or parts where we should’ve did better..or could’ve did better..with the person in whom we were..and maybe wished for some a thousand times over that you could go back and say what you wished you would’ve said..or even done what you know you should’ve done..but in the looking back at the photos and the memories it as well maybe stirs up a little flame in you to be better and do better..hopefully it awakens a stirring in your soul to know that life is fast and that life is quick even if we think it’s not..Amen..and it stirs you so much that you chose to live your life well..and so well that when you look back maybe 10 years from now there is no regrets of failure or wishing you would’ve said or done something..but much rather you just did the thing or things..and said whatever was needed to be said..Amen!”

“Cause guys we ourselves have to choose to be watchful and very much mindful over our homes and over our lives..the things that we do..the company we keep..the way it is going..Amen..because so much can happen right before our eyes..and somehow even right there in front of us we miss it..until as I say the day comes years later and you’re looking back and you think how did I not see that?..how in the world did I miss that?..Amen..so for us no one else can watch over our lives as we can..and we each have a responsibility for our homes..we all have a responsibilty for our families..and our lives in which we live..because we all have free will to chose and do whatever in the world we want to do..but let me remind us all that there is consequences for our own actions and them things that we do..but as well them things that we overlook..them things that we are not being mindful of..Amen..for you see I always say that your home and your life is for you to pay attention too..not anyone else..and you have to be careful with what you allow and what you do..in all areas..Amen..because little things in your life they do grow into big things..kind of like a seed its a small little thing..but over a few months or so it grows and sprouts big things..Amen..the same thing in our lives..and in our world in which we live.”

“I think about the scripture that says this, If the goodman of the house would had known what hour the thief were going to break in he would’ve stayed awake and not suffered his home to be broken up..Matthew 24:43/Luke 12:39..Amen..for you see areas I am sure in your life that you may be dealing with right now..and you may think how in the world did it get to this?..Amen..but guys it happens and it happens if were not paying attention..just like when kids are little and you are watching them always..everything they do..the same with your life..Amen..your home..your job..your family..your friends..everything..you are paying attention..being very much mindful and very much watchful..Amen..because the enemy the word says is as of a roaring lion roaming about seeking whom it is that he may devour..1 Peter 5:8..and he only has power if we give it to him..but all you have to do is look around and you see people and you think how did they get there?..they were so smart and so kind..they were those cheerleaders and football players..they had their whole life ahead of them..and now they are at these places that I’m sure they never thought they would be..Amen..but did it happen overnight?..more than likely no..not at all..it happens little by little..with every little compromise..not paying attention..not thinking of the outcome!”

“Because the enemy is very sly..he is very quick to make us second guess the things were doing..and making us to say to ourselves..well, it don’t really matter?..right?..and let me say to us all..YES!!!..it does matter!!..everything were doing..because it matters in your marriage..it matters in your family..it matters in your ministry..it matters in your relationships..it matters in everything..because let us all remember it is that one bad apple that ruins the whole basket full so to speak..Amen..and little things become big things very quickly..so my whole heart to us all this day..is let us be watchful and mindful over our lives..stay on top of it..and all of it..and whatever you do listen to the holy spirit of God when he is speaking to you personally..letting you know what to do and what not to do..because believe me He always warns us of what lies ahead if we do this or that..but again we have free will to do what we want to do..for the Lord makes none do anything..so let us choose carefully..and let us consider how it will as well affect our lives..and our families..and everything else that is involved..for obedience is where it lies..and good choices helps for a better life and a better way of living..I love the scripture that says..for me to live is Christ and to die is gain..Philippians 1:21..and what does that mean?..well, it means dying to who we are..and living our lives for Jesus Christ our Lord..following Him in all of His ways..and always acknowledging Him and His presence in our lives..being obedient and being mindful of Him and His love for us!”

“Knowing that this world is not our home guys..were just passing through it..Amen..once again heaven is the goal..Amen..so let us live well this life that we have been given..shining and sharing the gospel with all..Amen..being as we should be for the Lord..walking with Him..and living and loving this life that we have..making great decisions..and not having regrets as we one day will look back over it..so one day at a time guys that is the goal..doing the best we can with what we have..knowing that everything we do matters and it does matter greatly..for it not only affects us but as well them ones in whom are in our lives..so we will be mindful I pray and we will be watchful and very much so..for it is in His name, Jesus’ name that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
