“So I’m thinking back to a few years ago when Erik and I crossed over into New Mexico and at how the whole entire scenery changed..including the sky and even the weather..and Erik keeps talking about how beautiful the clouds were..and of course I keep telling him yes they’re so very beautiful honey..and so time goes on and he still continues to talk about the clouds and the sky..and I say to him honey I know we’ve seen them like this before..but he keeps insisting that these clouds were different..and so he finally says to me..I know what it is..it’s my sunglasses because they’re polarized..and they brighten everything up..so he takes off his sunglasses and says here put them on and take a look at the clouds..and I tell ya, guys, they were amazing..so very beautiful..almost like looking through 3D glasses..but I thought about us and our lives and at how some people are so very optimistic while others are so pessimistic..how others are always seeing the good in a situation while others are always finding the worst possible thing ever to go wrong and or happen in a situation..at how some see the glass as being half empty while others looking at that same glass sees it half full..Amen!”

“And at how you can take two people in whom are going through the same things in life and how one can be so encouraging and positive about what their facing, all the while others seems to be the most and worst negative and far fetched person that they can be..how that in life it is really a matter of how we ourselves choose to go through and how we ourselves choose to live it..Amen..how daily we all can be any and whatsoever way it is that we choose to be..for the bible says that each new morning Gods mercies are new..Lamentations 3:23..and that we all are to be salt and light in this world in which we live..Matthew 5:13-16..I read a quote once before and it said..Live your life in such a way that others in whom know you would want to know Christ..so I always remind myself that my actions always speak louder than my words..and I always remind myself that I am to represent Christ Jesus in any and everything it is that I do..because I understand that somewhere out there but more importantly right in my own home I have a family in whom watches me and my actions..watches me and how I choose to live my life..they watch the reactions that I make when things arise and take place..they watch the way I speak to people, and about people..Amen..and not only me with my family but as well you with yours..they watch the way we act and react to pretty much everything guys..for as they say for some the only bible they’ll ever read is that in which we choose to live..for I always say that it’s easy to read the bible and quote the scriptures..Amen..but living it out guys is another whole story..Amen!”

“So this is my thoughts and this is my prayer for each of us today..let us live our lives unto the Lord and not unto man..let us live our lives representing our Father and representing Him well..for I like the saying that was said and was wrote on about pretty much everything and that was this..”W.W.J.D”..in return it means “What Would Jesus Do”..so whenever things occur and circumstances present themselves unto us..always choose to do what the Lord would do..Amen..I pray we all choose to live a positive faith filled life..I pray we choose to let our mouths always speak of the good things and not all of them bad and negative ones..I pray we always choose to take our cares and give them unto the Lord..because I promise when we do, He in return places His peace in our hearts..so I pray we live for the Lord knowing that somewhere, someone out there is watching us and our lives..so let us make sure that we are living a good one..one that will draw, bring and compel others to come to know the Lord all because we choose to shine Him..Amen..we choose to be different than this ole world in which we live..we choose to walk the walk and talk the talk so to speak..we choose to magnify and lift up His name at all times..for you see God is God and He never..does He ever change..and He knows us and He knows everything that we’re facing and that will ever face in life..so I pray we don’t let the storms pull us into them or as they say we don’t let others pull us into theirs..but that we pull others into our peace..that peace that only comes from God..that peace which surpasses all understanding..Philippians 4:7..Amen..so let us wear those bright glasses today..let us wear them faith filled ones..them ones that choose to be positive and choose to see the good in it all..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
