peace

WOW sometimes life just seems toooooo BUSY!!!! Then WHAT?????? RE-FOCUS!!!!
AND ASK MYSELF SOME QUESTIONS LIKE WHY, WHAT AND HOW, WHEN< WHERE?????
I'm teaching ESL these days so these words are very familiar to me at present...I just need to apply them to my life and get some SHALOM. PEACE...
the actual root of that word means WHOLENESS < COMPLETENESS and there is quite a few others that belong to its family...GOD MADE WORD FAMILIES!!!!

I've been watching an early morning TV program and learning about our original language..the Creator's and creation's Language..yes it's HEBREW..and God used this language to CREATE EVERYTHING INVISIBLE AND VISIBLE
and it will be spoken in Heaven
..sorry don..not GERMAN...

did you know that HEBREW is a mathematical Language and that our God is intricately concerned with details..every detail of our lives.

did you know that every HEBREW word has 3 consanants in it that speak of its ROOTS..yes roots, just like a tree has roots and bears fruit or leaves , so does each Hebrew root word gives birth to other words , same beginnings

did you know that in every HEBREW word you can recognize it's family,related words, by its 3 consanant roots..COOL HUH..JUST LIKE OUR CHILDREN..they have familiar characteristics coming out of their roots..family line.

did you know that there are no vowels in the HEBREW language just consanants and they can become any part of speech you want them to be..like verbs, or nouns, or adjectives or whatever else you need...very COOL!

more to follow...the eternal teacher is quite excited about all of this..have you noticed???

so SHALOM TO YOU and ME and YOURS today..hope my ENGLISH IS CORRECT..
it's the heart that matters right..

may you be still and know that HE is GOD today and that He is a God who is LOVE and can BE nothing else
HE LOVES YOU INTRICATELY..every detail of your life!

one last thought to ponder did you know
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO BE THINKING THE TRUTH AND HAVE NEGATIVE EMOTIONS
WHOAAAAAAA WHAT am I thinking???

BE blessed with HIS TRUTH and HIS ROOTS today and forever..mama

the rescue...

self-rightness exposed!!!

My dear husband had minor surgery today to remove a cataract and put in a new lens enabling him to see more clearly..He left the office with a patched eye..the pirate look!!! Being the "no fear" .."no big deal" thinking kind of man he is , he sailed through the procedure and of course had the surgeon laughing during the course of the event...even Pavarati's timing was right on and the minor surgery ended with "applause" for both the singer's performance and the surgeons..quite a unique marketing strategy don't you think..Don loved it..he thought the applause was for him!!!!


Now being the man that he is he really didn't ask for "my presence" or invite me to be by his side ( you know to hold his hand or something) but i thought i would be the wise, well wiser, compassionate wife and go to his "aid"..you know drive him home at least as "recommended" by the doctor's office. So I got in my car and headed for the office 2 minutes from our place, expecting to come to the "rescue". New lens in place we left and headed for our individual cars....he drove his own vehicle there..remember he wasn't asking for my help.

The plan was to take one vehicle home and i would chauffeur him around for the next few hours while He recuperated..my thoughts. I was parked directly behind him and we decided to drive a short distance .. to the next parking lot over where there is an amazing Bagel place ( I had rushed out of the house without breakfast as I was on a rescue mission)..the one-eyed patched man gets in his vehicle and drives carefully and speedily over to the Bagel store. The ever wise ,compassionate rescuing wife gets in her car and drives swiflty up and over and onto the curb that she forgets is in front of her vehicle...Yep, I did just that and now guess who's coming to whose rescue???

After a failed attempt to reverse out of the situation , my handy dandy cell phone needs to do its job,HOW EMBARRASSING...AND HUMBLING ... STRANDED ON THE CURB AND REQUESTING AID FROM A POST OPERATIVE PATIENT,that i had come to help out..there really was no one else around at the time ...
"could you please help me..i'm hung up on the curb"...silence

the one eyed patched man came walking back across the lot to my rescue ,assessed the situation with his one eye and after an unsuccessfull attempt at reversing the car back over the curb he told "moi" to get in and he( the just finished surgery man) "lifted" the car up and over the curb while i put the "pedal to the medal in reverse" so to speak.. back and over the curb we went ...
guess I wasn't much of a rescuer today huh..but the warm cinnamon bagel and tea comforted and soothed my soul and I realized once again that men are just made for rescuing damsels in distress... even when they are only seeing out of one eye...

I hate it when i think the "No big deals" are "Big Deals" and then it's made clear to me that maybe they aren't as big a deal as I thought they were!!!! I guess I could have just believed him and waited patiently at home...but then I might have missed out on that warm bagel and cup of tea..
Life's journey is full of experiences and memories we can share together.. i think we had a memorable day!

New International Version (NIV)
The man (woman) who thinks he/she knows something does not yet know as he/she ought to know.
1 Corinthians 8:1-3 ( in context)

thanks Prince Charming...you were my Hero today!!! Just think what you will do with all that new vision you've just acquired

and then there was none!!!!

i thought i had self-control ...it seemed to slip away every time i took another" one" out of the box .
I can do it i told myself after taking "a few" out of the box and leaving the box downstairs in the cupboard far from the computer room i was in..aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh...just "one" more.......
back down again ............ another handful...okay that's it!!! ..no more..that should satisfy this little sweet craving i have...well just one last one..back down again to that cupboard.... hhhhhhmmmmm....might as well take that BOX up with me and keep it in the computer room ..just in case i want some more tomorrow or the next day...... HAHAHa..
mmmmmmmm...sooooo good..just one more...mmmmmm..okay another......tummy beginning to feel a little chocolated out...mmmmmm but mmmmm..one last one...
hhhmmmm
only" two" left..well one more...AWWWWWWWWWW mine as well eat that last one can't leave one little cashew in the box all alone !!!
It may as well join the rest of them in my not feeling so good tum tum !!!


I CAN'T BELIEVE I ATE THE WHOLE BOX...IN LESS THAN 5 mins i'm certain..
YUCK not feeling so great now!

Self control is a very fine way to go..so i think i'll just control myself ...next time:):)
Thanks Jenaya and Mikayla for all those fine boxes of chocolates....do you think you could help me out with the self-control ..maybe we could eat them together next time!!!

Life

a friend sent me this Cannes award winning short film for 2008.

Last night ,I actually was thinking of sending her an e-mail to let her know i didn't want all these forwards i was receiving and this morning here was another one in my inbox!
It changed my day ...WORDS really do form thoughts which turn into beliefs which turn into actions , habits and lifestyle... so today i'm thinking a review of my thoughts could change my whole life!!! click on the second picture to watch the video clip..it could be a life changing day.

i need a little help with these downloads though ..maybe i'm not using the right gadget tool I just wanted the one movie clip

and by the way thanks dear friend..you sent me new life today..i guess the delete button isnt too hard to press!

Celebrating

forgiveness is a gift
that keeps on giving forever
that's how i've been forgiven..no conditions..no measuring up..
thank you Jesus for your grace
to forgive
and the understanding
that i wasn't perfect
before you forgave
and that others don't have to be perfect
before i forgive
there's real freedom in that truth..
let's celebrate it!
