"NOW is the time to choose to take giant leaps into your New life.
As I'm sure we've all realised by now,
we are NOT going anywhere
and the only place that is changing is WITHIN us.

It's time to explore and leave the past and the old bad habits behind....
Go for it, it's all about your choices.....".♥ ♥

My Purpose Statement

To not only inspire but to be an example to my children, family and friends
that change within ones self is not only possible but it has life altering effects
that bring true abundance and joy
into the emotional, physical, mental and spiritual sides of our being
creating a sense of oneness
which produces a high vibration of love, peace and good will
that flows forth into our immediate and outer environments.

A man was exploring caves by the seashore.
In one of the caves he found a canvas bag with a bunch of hardened clay balls.
It was like someone had rolled clay balls and left them out in the sun to bake.
They didn't look like much,
but they intrigued the man so he took the bag out of the cave with him.

As he strolled along the beach, he would throw the clay balls
one at a time out into the ocean as far as he could.
He thought little about it until he dropped one of the balls and it cracked open on a rock.
Inside was a beautiful, precious stone.

Excited the man started breaking open the remaining clay balls.
Each contained a similar treasure.

He found thousands of dollars worth of jewels in the 20 or so clay balls he had left.
Then it struck him. He had been on the beach a long time.
He had thrown maybe 50 or 60 of the clay balls with their hidden treasure into the ocean waves.
Instead of thousands of dollars in treasure, he could have taken home tens of thousands,
but he just threw it away.

It's like that with people.
We look at someone, maybe even ourselves, and we see the external clay vessel.
It doesn't look like much from the outside.
It isn't always beautiful or sparkling so we discount it.
We see that person as less important than someone more beautiful or stylish
or well known or wealthy.
But we have not taken the time to find the treasure hidden inside that person by God.

There is a treasure in each and every one of us.
If we take the time to get to know that person, and if we ask God to show us that person
the way He sees them, then the clay begins to peel away and the brilliant gem begins to shine forth.

May we not come to the end of our lives
and find out that we have thrown away a fortune in friendships
because the gems were hidden in bits of clay.

May we see the people in our world as God sees them
.

Being a good person may not have any effect on others, but it does make it easier to live with the fellow in the mirror.

Y'know, if I can ever get that guy to toe the mark I can be rich, famous and well-liked by all. But, let me tell you, that old boy has some issues!

'Washed-clean by the blood of Christ'
brings us afresh into the world....

Choice is given.... ~to do for one's 'self' or, to do for 'others'
Whom will you choose ? for a 'Master'
Do you acquire ? or, do you give
Do you assert yourself ? or, do you remain humble

'Looks' do not define 'the person'

The sum of 'our past', [?] is, what we presently are
and hopefully, changes, will mold us yet further 'in the right direction'

[our outcome was known before we were physically conceived]

Wow, another awesome thread, thanks again, Bro. Dave.


:) God bless you Susie Sis'


Many, won't find time [or, the patience'] to trawl such a page

Those that do, 'will see'
and find ..... what, 'they' are meant to [see] find
