“It’s funny how at quickly life goes by us..at how fast our children grow up…and at how life goes by without even realizing that it is…that daily the hours slip away..and at how fast a week goes by…but what’s even more strange is the fact when you think back and you look back at how everything has changed…even when you think it all is staying the same..and that right before our own eyes 20 years has come and gone..and in them 20 years we think about our lives..and how much we’re grown…how much we’ve changed…and at how life happened…and how daily it happens but how we fail to actually see it happening…it’s like we lived it…but kinda of like we didn’t..like for me 20 years feels maybe like 10…if that makes sense to you…but my thoughts today is this…I pray that our lives are being lived…and I pray that our lives are being enjoyed…and I pray more than anything that our lives are filled with enjoying all the simple things that happen and take place daily in our lives…and my prayer is that our lives are filled with love, joy, peace and tons and tons of happiness…and I pray that family and friends are always welcomed and always surrounding each and everyone of us…because as I said…life happens…and while we’re living it…and going our ways daily…it happens very fast this life that we live…so let us make moments and enjoy them…for material things are great…don’t get me wrong…our jobs are pleasant for we do need them as well…but when it comes to really living life..I think that always boils down to the simplicity of things…having a comfy home…having food on our tables…and having our bills paid…having our health…having our families and our friends…having us a great and awesome church to attend…them things mean more then anything in all of this world…Amen!”

“For an example let us look at even now..at this year 2023…and realize that just in a few days it is already going to be Decemebr 1st…that seems so unreal to me…that already were moving in on a new year…Oh my goodness..2024..here it comes..Amen..so my prayer is that we all just take time and make time for them important things in our lives…which is them important people in our lives…make time to have that dinner date…make time to meet up with that friend for some lunch…spend time with our grandma’s and grandpa’s if you still do have them in your life…go for them walks, hikes and adventures with your babies…your toddlers…your family..let us try to do these things when we’re not busy working..and I pray that we try our best to make that time a productive one…doing meaningful and treasure filled things that last forever and ever…for they say that gifts are great…and buying someone something is nice…but when you make a memory with someone…that means more then anything…for I am as well learning to be more appreciative of my time..and learning to make the most of my time..because time and life is moving by and it’s moving by very fast..so let us make sure that we make loads of memories…and let us all learn to enjoy them simple things in our lives…for the bible says that godliness with contentment is of a great gain…1 Timothy 6:6…and that our lives are but a vapor we are only here for but a moment and then were gone..James 4:14..so let us do them things that mean the most…and let us make the time to enjoy life…for our lives are honestly and truly a gift…and each day we ourselves have to be willing to open up our gifts…so let us open them and let us all enjoy them…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 whenever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi ❤️
