With God All Things are possible Good or Bad

Image by dannie4852 via FlickrI had a very perplexing day yesterday. Everywhere, everyone is talking about the disaster in Japan. Confused by some reactions of how people are saying that we should not pray for them because they are an Atheist country. Really! There are also Christian survivors there that have lost loved ones, and Atheists that have lost loved ones. We should pray that all of them find peace from all that they have lost.  We should also pray that many will see this as a sign of what God told us would come our way. I am not saying this as a doomsday post, I am merely saying we should all at all times be prepared for his coming by accepting Jesus as our Savior so that when our own time comes we are prepared. That is what love is about. Loving all that believe AND do not believe.  It is our purpose to share the word of god with others, but it is EVEN MORE PURPOSEFUL now to empathize and pray for those that have lost so much and so many.  Even more pray with gratitude for all that we have. Being grateful everyday for all that God has given us, and that is EVERYTHING.
Remembering that everything is thought first, think only good thoughts. Praise God with gratitude that we are not the survivors of such a tumultuous disaster, but remembering that we could be at anytime. Are you ready to leave this earth?
The greatest fear that most people have is the "fear of death," but those that have accepted Christ as their savior do not fear death, instead they believe that whatever happens in their life God is always with them. Relieve yourself of the greatest fear, the Fear of death, and realize if that is greatest fear, then "Fear is not a rational thought."This is a thought that I often play in my mind when plagued by Agoraphobia (fear of open spaces.)
My family's cookbook called "Traveling Recipes" is for sale as a pdf file on Etsy, all of the proceeds this from the sales this month are going to Autism Intervention Specialists.

CHRISTMAS FAIRS

Image via WikipediaIt's that time of year again and all the Christmas Fairs are cropping up again. I'll be doing one on Sunday, and I wish I had taken my last year's advice and followed through. When planning to sell at Christmas fairs, begin in January so you'll be ready in November and December. As usual I'm behind and with a midterm in Anatomy coming up and hundreds of angels still to make, I think...what will actually make me remember to begin in January?
When I want to change a behavior, I find an affirmation for it that works, and I adopt it until it becomes a mantra. The best one I got this year (sent by a friend) is this "I pay my bills on time, and always have extra money." I just kept saying it over and over in my mind and aloud. I would focus on that during meditation and eventually, IT HAPPENED. I can now say for real, "I pay my bills on time and I always have extra money." So for this one, I'm adopting. "I am always prepared for my Christmas Fairs, because I begin in January."
