“I know that your name speaks volumes..just the mention of your name brings some form of who you are when someone would happen to mention you automatically people will think of something as to who you are..whether it is good or bad..everyone has an image of a person..whether they work at a bank or work in the mines..whether they exercise or whether they choose not too..but whatever it is they think of something that goes hand in hand with you..Amen..and I know that as for Erik and I while raising our son we would always tell him son your name means more than anything..for you see people whom can trust you and rely on you means a whole lot..Amen..for we can have it all but if we fail to keep our name then we’ve pretty much failed..because people remember you for who you are..and they remember how you were regardless if it was good or bad people remember…I know my dad when he preached his very last sermon the message was that years ago all that men would have to do was shake another man’s hand and it settled it..there was no contracts to sign..or huge forms to fill out they just knew that if you shook hands then you meant what you said and that you would do what you said and keep your promise..for our integrity means so much..Amen!”

“I pray that when others look at me and my family that they see people in whom they can trust..and people in whom love the Lord our God with all of our hearts..for the word says that a good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favor rather than silver and gold..Proverbs 22:1..so today and every day that follows try your best to live your life with a good name..don’t have people second guess who you are..and if you’ve failed and fallen short from that in your past or even now this very day know that you can begin today being real and honest with the person in whom the Lord has made for you to be..for who you are and what you do speaks volumes of who you love and whom it is that you serve..which is Jesus Christ our Lord..for when God is in us we change and we change for the good and we change to be better and do better than that person in whom we was yesterday or even today..so let us live to please the Lord with all that is within us..let us live by that golden rule that says do unto others as you would have for them to do unto you..for we all are in this thing called life together and guys when we rise up to help one another and treat one another with respect and love we all win..and that is the key to great and noble victories in all of our lives..so be the best that you can be for our Lord..always living as He alone would so desire and choose for you to be living..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 ❤
