LOVE & LIGHT TO ALL: Keep your ears on and your eyes open; early morning. So much hype going around, it could chock a horse. How does this affect the PP & RV? Everything does. What to interpret in Europe and banking, reporters are paid to guess. Only time will tell. And everything, is "any day now". As the story unfolds....................... .....UNTIL TOMORROW,

Proverbs 2:1-5 My son, if you receive my words, and
treasure my commands within you, so that you incline your ear to wisdom, and
apply your heart to understanding; Yes, if you cry out for discernment, and
lift up your voice for understanding, if you seek her as silver, and search for
her as for hidden treasures; then you will understand the fear of the LORD, and
find the knowledge of God.
My people, rise up
with determination. Come fully into the kingdom that has been
established for you; My kingdom; the kingdom of glory; the kingdom where you
will find peace, joy, and love. Set your heart on pilgrimage.
Take this journey into the fullness and the goodness of that which I have
provided for you. Do not allow the enemy to dissuade you. Do not
allow him to hinder you. Come; get up from the place that you are and
come forth and receive that which I am doing in this hour, says the
Lord. For indeed I am bringing forth a glorious church in the land and
My glory shall rest upon her, and My glory shall be will manifest in and
through her. Come and rejoice, for this is the day of My power;
the day of great joy; the day in which I manifest Myself not only among My
people but in and through My people. Encourage yourself and come forth
into the understanding that I am with you and for you; I will never leave nor
forsake you. My presence will lead you forth in triumph.
Reach beyond where
you have been. I want to expand your understanding, awareness, and
spiritual experience, but you must cooperate in this opportunity for growth
by choosing to yield to My work in you. Prepare to experience greater
light and clarity, which will give you a sense of higher purpose, says the
Lord. SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT

THIS SIX YEAR OLD IS AMAZING. ENJOY
JOKES THAT
CAN BE TOLD
IN CHURCH
Two boys were walking home
from Sunday school
after hearing a strong
preaching on the devil.
One said to the other,
'What do you think about all this Satan stuff?'
The other boy replied,
'Well, you know how Santa Claus turned out.
It's probably just your
Dad.'
~~~~~~~~~~~~ Attending a wedding for the first time, a little girl
whispered to her mother,
'Why is the bride
dressed in white?''
The mother replied,
'Because white is the color
of happiness,
and today is the
happiest day of her life.'
The child thought about
this for a moment then said,
'So why is the groom
wearing black?'
~~~~~~~~~~~~ A little girl, dressed in her Sunday best, was running
as fast as she could, trying not to be late for
Bible class.
As she ran she prayed,
'Dear Lord, please don't
let me be late! Dear Lord,
please don't let me be
late!'
While she was running and
praying, she tripped
on a curb and fell,
getting her clothes dirty
and tearing her dress.
She got up, brushed
herself off, and started running again!
As she ran she once again
began to pray,
'Dear Lord, please don't
let me be late...But please
don't shove me either!'
~~~~~~~~~~~~ Three boys are in the school yard bragging about
their fathers.
The first boy says, 'My
Dad scribbles a few words
on a piece of paper, he
calls it a poem,
they give him $50.'
The second boy says,
'That's nothing. My Dad
scribbles a few words on
piece of paper,
he calls it a song, they
give him $100.'
The third boy says, 'I got
you both beat. My Dad
scribbles a few words on a
piece of paper,
he calls it a sermon, and
it takes eight people to
collect all the money!'
~~~~~~~~~~~~ An elderly woman died last month.
Having never married,
she requested no male pallbearers.
In her handwritten
instructions for her memorial
service, she wrote,
'They wouldn't take me
out while I was alive,
I don't want them to
take me out when I'm dead.'
~~~~~~~~~~~~ A police recruit was asked during the exam,
'What would you do if you
had to arrest your own mother?'
He answered, 'Call for
backup.'
~~~~~~~~~~~~ A Sunday School teacher asked her class why
Joseph and Mary took Jesus
with them to Jerusalem..
A small child replied,
'They couldn't get a baby-sitter.'
~~~~~~~~~~~~ A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her five and six year olds.
After explaining the
commandment to 'Honor thy
father and thy mother,'
she asked,
'Is there a commandment
that teaches us how to
treat our brothers and
sisters?'
Without missing a beat,
one little boy answered,
'Thou shall not kill..'
~~~~~~~~~~~~ At Sunday School they were teaching how God
created everything,
including human beings.
Little Johnny seemed
especially intent when they
told him
how Eve was created out
of one of Adam's ribs.
Later
in the week his mother noticed him lying
down as though he were
ill,
and she said, 'Johnny,
what is the matter?' Little
Johnny responded,
'I have pain in my side.
I think I'm going to have
a wife.'
~~~~~~~~~~~~ You don't stop laughing because you grow old..
You grow old because you
stop laughing!

What You Expect From Other People Is Most Often What You'll Get

"Our environment, the world in which we live and work, is a mirror
of our attitudes and expectations." -- Earl Nightingale
Once upon a time, a traveler from a far and
distant town approached a wise man that was just leaving the city into which
the traveler was entering. The traveler stopped the wise man and said,
"Can you tell me about the city from whence you have just come? What is
the quality and character of the citizens here?" The wise man replied,
"First stranger, tell me: What were the people like in the last town you
visited?" The traveler replied, "Oh, they were a cold bunch of people
with no kind words for anyone. It was not a happy town; they were very
judgmental and the people were mean-spirited and unwelcoming. I couldn't get
out of that town fast enough." The wise man paused and then replied,
"Ahhh... I believe you will discover that the citizens of this town are
exactly the same." A short distance further down the road, the wise man
encountered another distant traveler entering the city. And likewise, the
traveler asked the same question of the wise man, saying, "What is the
quality and character of the citizens of this city, sir?" Again, the wise
man replied, "First stranger, tell me: What were the people like in the
last town you visited?" The traveler replied, "Oh, they were an
amazing group of people! They were outgoing and friendly and welcomed me with
open arms. They were unconditionally loving and I felt like each one was my
brother or sister... Oh, I miss them greatly." The wise man paused and
then replied, "Ahhh... I believe you will discover that the citizens of
this town are exactly the same."
I am uncertain of the origin of this story, but
it makes the point very well, doesn't it? Life tends to respond to our outlook.
It shapes itself to meet our expectations, which are birthed in our
consciousness. In the words of author Jon Kabat-Zinn, "Wherever you go,
there you are." In other words, wherever you go on the journey called
life, you project your attitude and expectations ahead of you, and life can
only be a divine reflector of your consciousness, drawing to you the people,
events, and circumstances that reflect what you expect to find when you get
there. You might keep this in mind the next time you go to that party or
business meeting with people you may feel less than loving toward, or the next
time you speak with that ex-spouse or the next time you go into any other
environment where, until now, you may have generally expected the worst from
people rather than the best. The secret of the ages is to learn to have great
expectations with a very low attachment to the outcome. If you can achieve
this, you will discover what true inner peace means.
What I have discovered is that what I expect from
others is generally what I get. People most often live up to or down to the
level that I expect. Why? Because the energy that I radiate (broadcast) can
only draw to me more of the same. On a very practical level, give some thought
to this principle before you take off on a vacation, walk into the post office
or the grocery store, and most certainly before you enter your home. What will
you expect your experience to be? Because as any wise man (or woman) knows, you
will find the people there to be exactly like you expect them to be. What will
you expect of others? Start with yourself: What is the character and quality of
the person who lives in your skin? Ahhh... as within, so without, yes?
As a mindfulness practice, consider the following:- For the next 24 hours, pay particular attention to the altitude of your attitude wherever you go. As you enter a restaurant, pull into a gas station, walk into church, go into the office, and so on, mindfully consider what you are expecting before you arrive there.
- If you catch yourself expecting less than the best others have to offer, revisit your own intentions and make an adjustment in the altitude of your attitude. Choose to be the one who brings the light with you.
- Realize that you are broadcasting to the universe exactly the experience you expect to have and then remember the universe agrees with you.
