“I know that for many of us daily we are very productive and very busy individuals..and we have a lot on our plates to say the least..for I know these last few weeks for me I have been very busy..my mind and my plate has been very full..but I as well know to whom much is given much is required..Luke 12:48..but as well I know how very fast our cups so to speak can run dry and we end running on fumes..Amen..other than running on that fuel that we should be running on..because you know if we don’t take care of ourselves and stay filled up we will end up at a stop along the way..because if we don’t have our own cups full we aren’t really able to pour over into someone else and their lives if we don’t have anything to give..Amen..so in the midst of all the busy schedules..and the work..and the tests..and the every day life essentials that we have to do to maintain our homes and all of the rest..we must take out time in one way or another to spend time with Jesus first and foremost..Amen!”

“But as well we should make time for ourselves..doing something that makes us happy..because we must remain guys..Amen..and when we let life and all of the hecticness and so forth get us well it gets us really good..but see we can’t control life..but we can control us..we can go to our filling station and get filled..because happiness is always an inside job..Amen..and staying fueled and filled with Christ is as well that inside job of ours..we have to do it..no one is going to be able to get it for us..we have to go to our Father and spend time and make time..loving on Him..letting Him know that we love Him and that we need Him..for God desires our love and worship..He loves when we love Him..when we get our focus and attention to where it should be..because the Lord says store up your treasures in heaven..for where your treasure is there as well is your heart..Matthew 6:19-21..and my heart leaps with joy for heaven..and it leaps for joy knowing that we have a Father in heaven that is always there..so remain guys..remain and stay full of the Lord..stay full of all of His mercy and His grace..keeping your eyes on the Author and Finisher of our faith..Hebrews 12:2..Amen!”

“For I love the song that says this..”Here’s my cup Lord..I lift it up Lord..come and quench this thirsting of my soul..bread from heaven feed me till I want no more..here’s my cup fill it up and make me whole..what a wonderful song..but as well there is another great song that says.”We have a heavenly Father above..with eyes full of mercy and a heart full of love..He really cares when your head is bowed low..so consider the lilies and then you will know..Amen..for it says in the word of God to seek first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto us…it says for us to take no thought for tomorrow: for tomorrow shall take thought for the things of itself…Matthew 6:33-34..for life never changes the way it does things nor has it really if we all would think about it..but one thing I can say is that we as individuals can change who we are and how we take care of life when life is being dealt to us..and we do that by staying filled..keeping them cups overflowing and overflowing at all times..for we have not because the scripture says we ask not..so let us ask so that we will receive..for the Lord will answer our prayers..and let us rest knowing that God is always in control..and we know the saying that says if God is in control..Well, there is “NOTHING” ever out of control..so let us, each of us, be still and know that He alone is God..Psalm 46:10..and He alone can do anything..and will do anything for you and for me..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
