When the lights are hung on the christmas tree with care, and you hear the beautifull words and bells to your favorite christmas song on the radio, or as you are wrapping the presents you so carefully chose for your loved ones and you look at the special ones present and you are wrapping it with such care i cant help but wonder and think about the little child out on the street that has nothing, has no clothes to keep her warm or the family in the nice cozy home but yet no finances to be able to have a tree or presents.... we look so often for those that are out on the street to bless and uplift but what about the families that do have homes but nothing else. I and some friends of mine went over to a couples house the man is handicapped actually paralyzed from the waste down due to a stroke about 4 yrs ago we took them over a tree and decorated it for them and just to see their eyes light up just warmed my heart.. Sometimes the best gifts are in watching the eyes and faces of those that dont have the finer things that some of us do.. so i challenge you to take atleast one family that may not have a tree or decorations just go and spend some time with them try to see their need and make it a special day for them.. Its such warm feeling to know that you have friends around when you are struggling it makes the trial they are going thru seem alot less hard to go thru.. God bless you.. sister carrie

We will not understand all until the day we go to heaven.

For a while now i have pondered " why cant we know all and feel everyones pain and feel all their feelings" but not once have i ever gotten that gift maybe it really wouldnt be a gift. I have come to realize that we need to lean more on GOd then we do our friends. Our friends sometimes have a tendancy to not tell you everything they are feeling . Not intentionally trying to hurt you but when you care so deeply for them and there is something going on with them and they dont come to you about it and you go on thinking that everything is alright but then you find out later that you were all wrong it hurts. The pains of this world are very very painfull. I just thank GOd now for not allowing me to feel all and see all. I am the type of person that is a fixer, or mother hen and i always want to help those that are around me in any way i can and sometimes i cant fix the problem . Those that i am close with i do expect them to feel comfortable to come to me when ever there is a problem and i trust that they understand this and i have come to realize that not all of them feel free to come to me. I dont know why this is maybe iam just too opinionated and need to just be a listening ear at times instead of opening my big mouth.. BUt GOd is working on me with that. Iam sorry to my dear sister for making her feel like i didnt care, but if i had known that i made her feel that way i would have apoligized and re explained. My intentions on this earth is to reach out and help in any way i can but if my mouth is making others feel more insecure or judged or make them feel like i dont care about their situations then i need to back up and rely only on God. SOmetimes when we have a loving heart we do have a tendancy to be strong and sometimes others are hindered by that.. I just pray that God opens the oppertunity for this situation for this particular sister to be more open with me about her feelings so i dont go on thinking nothing is wrong when there really is something wrong.. i dont know what else to do but to give it all to God and believe him for this healing.. Lord i thank you for everythign you have done in my life.. in Jesus name amen and amen

Friends
Entry for December 17, 2005
  Friends: So today started off really good until i got a pm from a close friend. See i had wrote a blog in here about the story of lita expressing my feelings of hurt and not understanding and this person read it over two months ago and has even come out here visiting and never ever has said one word about it offending her.. but now all out of the blue she comes at me with i was lyeing in it and that it was untruthfull and that i was badmouthing her,, well first of all i used aliases so no one would know who the characters were but i had to get my feelings out because they were bothering me and so i thought i would blog it with different names and get some prayer as well as support on the issues.. and i guess i was wrong in doing so.. So many times i have bottled things up and just me always being the fixer and helping other people and me just shutting my feelings down so i can help others and now i finally find a way to open up and let my feelings out and here we go.. someone has a problem with MY FEELINGS.. Well i just needed to vent a little.. i figure i already got in trouble for venting my feelings for the story i wrote well know that i love ya even tho you think i lashed out at ya when i didnt.. i love everyone and only want the best for everyone.. and sometimes having that loving heart all the time gets me into trouble.. so there it is in a nutshell.. God bless you all I thank God for the friends he has placed in my life.. Thank you Jesus for Friends...

Sowing in Love
When you go to the store, or to the mall, or wherever you are going today and you see someone or meet someone new dont look at them and judge them, why not reach out to them, its not just in church that we are to be loving. God places people in our paths for a specific reason and when we are out shopping with the family even tho there are those around us that are out doing their christmas shopping and they are aggrivated at the lines or parking smile at them and give them something to remember. Each and every person that comes across our path we are going to be held accountable for.. so when we reach our judgment seat and Jesus is before us i know i want to hear that i was a faithufll and loving child and that i reached those that GOd placed in my path with love and longsuffering. I have a cousin that is staying with me and she is dealing with some health issues and she is new to the Lord and we will get into discussions here and there and one time she asked me a question about another religion and i told her that i believed that its not about religion and that if someone is in say for example a catholic belief but yet they do not go to church there or do the normal rituals that catholics believe in then maybe just maybe that person is not really a catholic and dont have the same beliefs as the catholics do and that they need to find a church that they believe the same as so that they can be faithfull in that church. and she got mad and called me judgemental and it struck a nerve with me, no i dont feel i was wrong but i did get convicted because i let it get me mad and it brought her and i to an arguement and then we stopped talking and it was a very uneasy feeling she stayed in the car as i got out to go into the wallmart God dealt with my heart not on the fact that i was wrong for saying what i did but he did deal with me on how i reacted.. We have to watch how we word things to people.. Those people even tho you feel comfortable talking with them we still need to choose our words wisely and not get them upset and make them feel uncomfortable its not for us to change their minds or hearts and they may not see eye to eye with us in our beliefs but what we are called to do is to love them in such a way that they stay in our lives so that we can show christs love to them its thru the love that they will be reached not thru arguing.. well that is my thoughts today.. i pray you all have a blessed day.. and by the way i did get back into the car and i apoligised to her and told her that i was very sorry if i had offended her and that God dealt with me on how i reacted and we hugged and we continued to love eachother.. that is what true christianity is all about .. give some of that unconditional love that you were given by Christ to those that you come across this christmas holiday as your out shopping.. GOd bless you all love carrie
