“In our society everything is generated by texts or emails..Amen..and in this range of motion and direction that we all have came to know we do disconnect from actually the forms of communication that we grew up on and were raised on..Amen..which was first we always visited..Amen..the doors to everyone’s homes were open..Amen..and secondly we picked up the phone and we actually talked to our families and our friends..Amen..but now we merely just as I say write everything..even the form of birthday messages and celebration and even Christmas cards have been thrown out the window so to speak..because we just have gotten really impatient with our lives..and we have gotten to the point of just having things happen quickly and always rushing that we have lost sight of the connection aspect of our lives..because an email and a text is not at all the same as a face to face conversation and or telephone call..Amen..because with the texting and the emails..we get at times even upset for the way we are perceiving the message that has been written..Amen..we are reading it the way we think the other person is saying it..so again walls get built..friendships end..connections go out the door..because someone has gotten offended..Amen..but when you are with a person..then you hear actually what is being said and the connection stays there within the lives of you and with your loved ones..Amen..because then there is hugs..and laughter..and fellowship..and as I say there is a connection..and that has got to stay within relationships..and always so..Amen!”

“Because I know that for me I have to do more than just text my son..Amen..I have to call him and many times a day when I am not around him or I don’t get to see him..because then I am connected to him..and I want that all of our lives..the connction..Amen..and that guys this morning is my point for all of us..if you want your family and your friends in your life..then stay with them..make it happen..Amen..do what you can and get back to the basics of life..and then we live well..because they are ours and God has given them to us..so don’t drift from the ones that has been given to you..but do your part..and love them well..and pick that phone up let them hear your voice..Amen..and if you have the facetime or some form of an app that lets you see them then communicate that way..because we all need each other in our lives..and we need more than just a a message..as I say more than just an email and or some text..it is not at all the same..Amen..so whatever you want in your life..just know that you have the power to make it happen..and if you are not liking the way yours is going then step up and do something to change it..because expecting different results to happen by doing the same things will never happen..that is what we call insanity..Amen..so faith without works is dead..James 2:14-26..and know that we can pray all day but unless we put feet to the prayers that we are praying..it stays the same..it remains..so even if others don’t..does not mean that you can’t..Amen..so you wanna change?..well, then be the change..you wanna stay connected?..well, then do your part to make it happen..take it to the next level..shake it up..change it up..step up and go the extra mile..and begin seeing life for you and for them change..and change for the better..Amen,.so let us live and laugh and love and stay connected..do more than just text or email..but actually hear the voice..see the face..and enjoy their presence..as they enjoy yours..Amen..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 ❤
