“Taking time is something we all must do..taking time to spend time with family is a must..taking time to enjoy your life..it as well is a must..taking time to do what makes you happy..it as well is a must..we all have to take time and daily so to do those things that we know within our hearts that we must do..Amen..because just work and no play..well that in and of itself is a no, no..Amen..we all have to have balance in our lives..with everything we do..because too much of anything is not good for anyone..Amen..but when we do take time and make an effort to find balance in our lives..with everything..than we as well in turn becomes a well rounded individual to say the least..Amen..because when our wells are running dry..and we are just scooting along in life..other than truly enjoying it than we miss life..we miss everything that God has blessed us with..Amen!”

“For we have to be willing to make our plans..and follow through with them..Proverbs 16:3..Amen..as most know my hubby is gone a lot with his work..he at times is gone for over a month at a time..and so here recently we decided that on my days off from work and while he is home..we are gonna take a day..and we are gonna go and have fun..so far we have had the best time ever..Amen..because when we are home we work and we stay busy with life..and stuff..but when we decided to do this..it is wonderful..we decide on a town that were gonna go..we get us a hotel room..we pick a nice place to eat..we go bowling..we go and play games..and when its all finished up at the end of the night we end up at Waffle House..spending a few hours..eating waffles..actually lots of them..Amen..laughing and talking..its the best..Amen..and the next day I put my top down on my car and on our drive back home..we take side roads..we go to parks..we go to different lakes..and again..it’s fantastic..and we literally have the time of our lives..we feel like young teenagers..on a date..lol..even though we’ve been married almost 26 years..Amen!”

“But again is this convenient?..no not really..because we do have a lot to do in our lives..but is it worth it?..you better believe it..Amen..so I am saying all of this..to say we do what we gotta do in our lives..to bring balance..to do what makes us happy..to stay full of joy..Amen..we do those things that are needful in our lives..because family..friends..adventures..nice dinners..great desserts..all of these things are wonderful gifts to have and to enjoy..Amen..so make plans in your life..yes we do work hard..all of us do..but as well we must play just as hard and we work..Ecclesiastes 5:18-20..again doing those things that causes our hearts to smile..doing those things that causes our relationships to flourish..for all things are given to be enjoyed..and we ourselves must grab ahold of those things..because if not we just live day by day never experiencing life as we could be or even as we should be..so I do pray you make plans and you follow through with them..believe me..it is well worth it..Amen..you’ll not be disappointed..so enjoy this life..enjoy your blessings..and make your plans..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
