An Apple a Day: Hebrews 12:1-2 (NIV)

~~1)Therefore, since we are surrounded by
such a great cloud of witnesses, let us
throw off everything that hinders and the
sin that so easily entangles, and let us run
with perseverance the the race marked out
for us. 2) Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the
author and perfecter of our faith who for the joy
set before him endured the cross, scorning
its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the
throne of God.

Today Lord help us to stay conscious of you
throughout this day. Your presence is a promise
and a protection to us. Help us not to take our
our eyes off of you, lest we fall in pits of self-
pity, despair, pride and self--will. Let us be
aware of your presence all day, everyday.

This is our greatest protection!
Amen

This is so true. We are only alive for a short while when
compared to eternity. I'm trying to live "just in the
present moment" and not look back or forward, just
at today, now, this moment. For indeed, we are not
promised our next breath, so let us live each moment
as if it were our last. Have a blessed moment!

Happy Friday everyone!

Today Has Been a True Blessing!

Today was a very good day, and a busy day! My church (Restoration off of I-26 in Spartanburg, SC) is having it's 2nd annual "Girlfriends" event tomorrow evening. The first one was awesome, and I'm very excited about this one! I went this morning to help decorate for the event tomorrow. There were many volunteers there and it is an amazing feeling to be in the company of such loving and caring Christian women. We all worked together harmoniously and joyfully and was finished in record time. I am really thankful for a church that has so many friendly and compassionate people! We had a great lunch together (thanks Cathy!)and I left feeling truly blessed!

Next, I was in the company of my Parkie friends at Summit Hills Retirement in Spartanburg. Another group of very happy and optimistic people! It was the first PD exercise class that Summit Hills has graciously started for the Spartanburg Parkinson's support group! They are going to provide a class "Muscles in Motion" for us every 1st and 3rd Thursday, followed by snacks and fellowship. The Spartanburg PD Support group meets on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays at the Chapman Cultural Center for a Parkie dance class graciously taught by Carlos, our instructor! After the 30 minute class the support group "meet" and different resource providers and speakers inform us on various topics concerning Parkinson's. I have met so many new friends and I thank God for bringing such caring people into my life.

Today, I feel especially joyful and Blessed!Thank you Lord!

An Apple a Day: 2 Corinthians 16-18 (NIV)

~~16) Therefore we do not lose heart.
Though outwardly we are wasting away,
yet inwardly we are being renewed day
by day. 17) For our light and momentary
troubles are achieving for us an eternal
glory that far outweighs them all. 18) So,
we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but
on what is unseen. For what is seen is
temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Reminder for everyone (especially me)
Everything we suffer and endure here
on earth is for only a brief time when
compared to eternity. "This too shall
pass."

Today Sunday 09/16/2012

A big hello and welcome to my blog, Life Matters!
I want to share my exciting (or not) Sunday with you.
I must say it was exciting when I woke up this morning!
I'm thankful every morning the Lord lets me wake up and
I tell him so!

This morning started with my favorite cereal, Honey Bunches of Oats
with Almonds! Did you know this cereal only has 6 grams of
sugar per serving. The average cereals have 12+grams up to 20+grams
of sugar. Plus this cereal tastes great. I add in some raisins for their
sweet taste and I love raisins!

Next, I went to my home church Restoration and heard wonderful
praise and worship and a helpful message from my Pastor.

McDonalds for lunch - $1 large diet coke, $1.99 Grilled chicken wrap (with
Honey Mustard dressing) and a yogurt/fruit parfait! It is possible to
eat healthy at McDonalds!

Home for the remainder of the day. Watched Carolina Panther/New Orleans
game and my Panthers won!! 35-27

Napped after, ...... and the rest is pretty much the same. I rested on
the Sabbath! Busy week coming! I am looking forward to it!

An Apple a Day: by Andy Andrews:Elephants, Mosquitoes, and Going the Extra Mile

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 15, 2012

Elephants, Mosquitoes, and Going the Extra Mile

I’m writing today to ask you a very important question upon which things in your life will greatly depend in yet unseen ways. Are you ready? Here it is:

Have you ever been bitten by an elephant?

Have you?

Okay, I’m going to go out on a limb and assume that most of you reading this answered no to that question. But let me ask you another one:

Have you ever been bitten by a mosquito?

I’m going to assume everyone’s answer for this one is yes. And do you want to know why? Because it’s always the small stuff that will get you.

This silly little question exercise is something that the character Jones uses in my book The Noticer. It’s all part of a larger lesson on something that I think is of vital importance for everyone to learn—how to make “going the extra mile” your normal.

We always hear the phrase “go the extra mile,” but what exactly does it mean? Well, there are two factors that must become part of your behavior if you want that phrase to apply to you:

1. Sweat the small stuff (the “mosquitoes” of life).

Many people ignore the small stuff (I’m sure you’ve heard the common expression, “Don’t sweat the small stuff”) and claim they have their eye on the big picture. But what they fail to understand is that the small stuff is what makes up the larger picture of our lives.

The beautiful masterpiece you want your life to be is composed of tiny brush strokes, little actions and choices, that happen day after day, hour after hour, and even minute after minute.

Paying attention to the small stuff means attending to the people, events, and relationships in your life with an uncommon attention to detail. It means consistently doing the second step of going the extra mile:

2. Consistently doing more than is expected of you.

I met Julius Irving, Dr. J, one time. When we shook hands, I promise that his fingers wrapped around my palm five or six times…they were the biggest things I’ve seen in my life! I asked him, “How did you go from being Julius Irving to being Dr. J?”

His answer was simple. He told me, “I have always demanded more of myself than anyone else could have ever expected.”

No one expected him to do the things he did, to practice like he did, to stay as late and work as hard as he did. He demanded it of himself. He demanded more than anyone could have ever expected.

Now, I know most of us aren’t professional basketball players, but this can easily be applied to all areas of life, no matter what you do or who you are. If you demanded more of yourself than anyone else could ever expect, what would your life be like? Who would you become?

If you demanded more of yourself than anyone else could ever expect, how would you act? What would you do? How would you feel? Can you picture it? Going the extra mile—no matter what—starts with you and your expectations for yourself.

So what expectations do you have for yourself right now? What expectations do you have for yourself as a parent? What expectations do you have for yourself as a spouse? As a businessperson or as a friend? What expectations do you have for yourself as a citizen in your community and country? What are some new expectations you could develop that will make you not only better, but will also make you truly exceptional in each of these areas?

Think about it…are you ready to go the extra mile? If so, how are you going to do so?

An Apple for Today: Letting Go

I have noticed that when I do allow myself (which is rarely)
to Let Go and Let God, there is peace and serenity.
The outcome, in most cases, turns out much better
when I let my Higher Power (God) have control.

I admit I struggle with letting go on an hourly basis.
I'm not proud of this, but I AM working on it!
I'm sick of trying to control my life as well as
everyone else's. All of my anxiety comes from

focusing on other people and not God or me.
I must learn to fully surrender all of my worry,
angst, and problems over to God. I have to
get to this point or I will live in torment forever,
and this is the last thing I want to do. Pray
for me that I will reach my goal of Letting Go
and Letting God!

This is What it is All About

This was shared with me through email!
I think it is beautiful and I wanted to share it!

the evil I will not to do, that I practice.
20)Now if I do what I will not to do, it is no longer I
who do it but sin that dwells in me. (NIV)

Proverbs 15:1 How do your words sound to others?

Proverbs 15:1 (NLT)

A gentle answer deflects anger, but harsh words make tempers flare.

If you fall short in this area, you may want to pray the prayer
below, or even better, speak from your heart to God about
this subject.

"My Lord, I fall short in this area many times, as a child of yours I
ask to be forgiven for this sin, cover it with your blood, and
help me never to speak harsh words again. I never want
to hurt anyone by my words or deeds." Thank you Father for

for your forgiveness. Amen

An Apple a Day: ~Revelation 21: 2-4 NLT

`~Revelation 21: 2-4 NLT

And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down from God

out of heaven like a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.I heard

 a loud shout from the throne, saying, ";Look, God's home is now among

 his people! He will live with them, and they will be his people.

 God himself will be with them.He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and

there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone 
forever.";
