Psalm 150:6

Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD.
Y Psalm 150:6 Y

okay, I don't care whats going on in your life, you are in the category of "everything that has breath," so suck it up & praise the Lord okay? Haha, I'm kiddin, you might have something going on where you couldn't even imagine praising the Lord. You are so sad and down that you can't think of anything happy. But sometimes if I'm in a 'feeling sorry for myself' mood, I need some sense knocked into me. I need someone to tell me to stop bein sad about life and remember that I have food, clothing, a comfy bed (mines actually kinda hard) and a God who loves me and even though we can't see the good out of the situatin right now, God doesn't do stinky things in our lives just to do stinky things in our lives. See what I mean? God doesn't leave us in that stinky spot if we trust that He has a plan, no matter how hard whatever is going on in our lives is we have to realize, God is doing this so something better can come out in the end. It might take us forever to realize it but, the sooner we sit up & smile and get over whatever our deal is, the sooner we'll see the goodness God has planned & the sooner we will feel better and life will be easier! (PS- when you smile it sends messages to your brain that you are happy, meaning, 'hello! Smile & it will be easier to be happy;]')
And another thing, satan does not attack the ones who just keep giving in and giving in to his attacks half as much as he attacks the ones who keep getting back up again. The ones who stand up, brush themselves off and say, "God loves me, I'm gonna be okay." Satan can't stand it when he can't get us down. He can't stand it that no matter how hard it gets, we don't give in to him and we let go and let God! So I'm just warnin you, it will be hard. But Jesus hung on a splintery cross while he was bleading to death with his hands and feet holding Him to the cross with nails. I'm pretty sure He can help you next time you feel like you can't take anymore ;).

..a brother among you who needs help?..

If there is a poor man among your brothers in any of the towns of the land that the LORD your God is giving you, do not be hardhearted or tightfisted toward your poor brother. Rather be openhanded and freely lend him whatever he needs. Deuteronomy 15:7-8

Just read it again, think about it. Think about what we, today, as Christians do, and how we react when we see a brother (sister) in need.

Not many of us jump to the chance of helping our Christian siblings do we? Eh, not really. I know I could do it more! Lets look at the words the author uses to describe how we act to a troubled brother; hardhearted and tightfisted. Thats kinna harsh huh? I've heard the word hardheaded used plenty around my family and friends but..heardhearted? We're gonna harden not just our minds but our hearts to someone in need? The definition of hardhearted in the dictionary is just this, "unfeeling; unmerciful; pitiless." I don't think I would want anyone to know me as a person who is "unfeeling; unmerciful; and pitiless" to anyone! No matter who they are! And tightfisted. The other word used in the passage. That makes it sound like you're gonna punch somebody! But lets look at the definition; "parsimonious; stingy; tight." Parsimony is like another word for stingy. So as Christians, we treat our Christian brothers and sisters in need by having an 'unfeeling, unmerciful, pitiless, stingy and tight' attitude toward them. Even if we don't all do that...we should try and make an effort to do just the opposite. So that we don't have that reputation =D Just think about it, every time a brother/sister tells you they need help or somethin in life is going wrong, help em! Jump to the chance! Knowing that you are doing what God wants us all to do, knowing that you will be glorifying God by helping a Christian sibling in need! We are making God smile, our friend smile, and ourselves. (I guarnantee you will be happy after helping someone else ;]) So think about it, pray about it, maybe God is revealing the fact that you need to help someone out =) Toodles!

few more audrey quotes =)

“Pick the day. Enjoy it - to the hilt. The day as it comes. People as they come... The past, I think, has helped me appreciate the present - and I don't want to spoil any of it by fretting about the future.”

"It's that wonderful old-fashioned idea that others come first and you come second. This was the whole ethic by which I was brought up. Others matter more than you do, so 'don't fuss, dear; get on with it.'”

“I decided, very early on, just to accept life unconditionally; I never expected it to do anything special for me, yet I seemed to accomplish far more than I had ever hoped. Most of the time it just happened to me without my ever seeking it.”
