I am a foodie. So, for me to say that one particular restaurant is my favorite is difficult. I happen to like more than one cuisine.
From southern style cooking of African descent to Mexican to corned beef that comes out on St. Patrick’s day to kosher deli food to Italian food to Chinese food.
Then there is Jamaican food too eith those beef patties I love. Hispanic foods. Polish foods.
Foods you get at coney Island, too. Those nathan’s hot dogs are the best. And that cherry coke, too.
From living in NYC, it was always easy to get food made from people of other countries. The Greek gyros ! Man! I have not had NYC food like that in some time.
In my area, I will say that my husband and I like Buffett style restaurants. And ours is one good one where they mostly make Chinese food, but their I’d a few non Chinese dishes there too!
When you go out with your friends and family, there is a connection that you have that is wonderful. When you all are on one accord. Sharing a meal
Starting your meal off in prayer and not even caring who is watching you all pray. You are bonding with the love of JESUS Christ. Having food for the soul and body. The best thing to happen on a full tummy!
Tell your family and friends you love them over a good meal! Be it in a restaurant or at home!
My husband and I enjoy waking and exploring our land . Also the countryside around us. We get to see the changes that have happened when the seasons change.
GOD has created such beautiful things in nature, from the colors to every living thing. It amazes me every day.
As we are walking and seeing these things, you can work up a sweat, but it feels so comfortable while doing so.
And when you are with a loved one, it goes by fast and not even seem like exercise! You are more aware of what GOD has made for us to enjoy!
You know what? You and I can plan things and have the best intentions to work the plan we have in mind. But if it is not GODS plan we will have to put out plan aside. Or even just cancel it for GOD’S way is the only right way.
Homeless people are worldwide because this plague has no boundaries. It has people of every single culture suffering. Those who are suffering the most are very young and very old.
We all need shelter, food, clothes, water, and respect, too.
Showing people how to make clothes, grow food, make shelter, and have all they need and want.
Gardening
It can be done with everyone pitching to help with what they can.
Shelter
Thank GOD for every blessing that you have and help people whenever you can.
I do hope you all are having a blessed day so far and will continue to have one the whole day! For this is another day that the LORD has made before the return of our beloved JESUS to take all of those HE has chosen to take home. That will be a joyful day for those of us who have already been saved by acknowledging JESUS as their savior!
For those of us who wait for JESUS know all well and good we will be going home to be in a good place. Those of us who have welcomed JESUS in our hearts share a bond and a unity that those who do not love JESUS have.
We have unity. We know when another one of our brothers and sisters are with us. We pray together , we feel their need to have prayer with others and we love each other. No color boundaries for love of a fellow Christians who is in the body of Christ!
John 13:34
“A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.”
King James Version (KJV)
As of today, I still see that there are some people who call themselves Christians and can be as racist as the KKK. Or just picking and choosing as to how they will serve GOD to fit into their lifestyles so they can be comfortable.
What did GOD say in HIS word?
Matthew 5:43 – 5:48
43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
No matter where you are in this world there will always be people who choose not to listen to this word of GOD. They listen to the devil. There are even those who attend Churches every Sunday or Saturday that have accepted JESUS as savior who hate those people who do not look like them. Black, white or the colors in between, the will not be right their hearts.
Those who are non-Christians too have a been know to be racist as well. They will have a passive aggressive form of it. They will not flat out let anyone know right off first time meeting them, but one the victim is out of sight or could hear them, that’s when they do their evil works.
This is something that is like a poison that travel through the air by satan and his followers 24/7. The weaker vessel is used to cause all types of confusion..
At home when a child is taught lies, in Church when those are taught evil about others not like them, at work when those who work hard and may know their job are held back from promotions, Doctors who don’t give the best care and treatments to those they feel are inferior as well. Schools where teachers will teach lies and hate too.
Any form of hate is not Biblically correct to hold onto really. But this hate in any form will cause separation among people. So let us re-think of the things we do to one another before we go about doing something that will cause an issue, we can’t fix.
1 John Chapter 4
7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.
14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.
15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
19 We love him, because he first loved us.
20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.
Learn not to prejudge people who don’t look like you because you heard this or that. And then acting out on it assuming what you say or do is correct. Stereotypical passive aggressive racism is evil. Get to know your fellow mankind as someone as an individual. And not to show ignorance by boldly assuming what you “heard” is true by other people who do look like you.
Flush all negative assumptions down the toilet were it belongs. Pick up the Bibal read GOD’s word and listen to IT. Not the non-sense of bigots. Be right with GOD.
Describe one positive change you have made in your life.
When I pray, I have learned to wait on GOD to answer me. As humans, we all need to listen to our beloved FATHER GOD at all times. It’s a faith growing process.
This has made a positive change in my life. A growing in understanding and wisdom. Patience as to wait and trust in GOD and HIS perfect timing.
Only our beloved FATHER GOD can see the true and perfect solution to our burden when we leave it with HIM.
Steady prayer, trust, and faith in GOD with the communication to HIM. Acceptance of HIS beloved son JESUS as savior.
This change is a positive learning process that will continue your whole lifetime because of what we go through day to day.
And what the evil one will try to do to you and all of us mankind. But when you become a child of GOD, you are protected by GOD at all times.
My happy list, well at least part of it. It is always good to count your blessings. How else will you know what you have , and that they are blessing that you need to thank GOD for? You all have a happy list too.
Knowing that there is a GOD, and that GOD sent JESUS HIS son to save our souls as our savior!
Knowing GOD is in control of all things. HE will protect those who love HIM and want to be with HIM. Doing HIS will and not our own. For no man knows all, but GOD. HIS way will keep us out of trouble!
Reading GOD’s word, for their is comfort in HIS word. You will see in the scriptures that the people of that day had the same problems and sins as we do now. They even had to pay TAXES!
Being blessed by GOD to have good health, a steady paycheck, a roof over my head, food to eat, my family, my husband and friends!
Knowing I will be in heaven with GOD and JESUS when my time is up. To see GOD, JESUS, the Holy Spirit, and all of my loved ones that have made it in before me.
Fabric that is used to make clothes will come off of a bolt. That can be one of those flat ones that may have about 25 yards on it or on a round cardboard pole. Those can hold as much as 100 yards depending on how thick the fabric is.
When I was in high school, our trade dressmaking class teacher took us to the garment industry section of Manhattan. There were such beautiful fabrics in that section of Manhattan on 38th Street from 8th Ave to 5th.
We picked out what we wanted for our prom dresses. There were no males in that class, so it was just us young ladies. We picked out brocade, chiffon, and silks. That was the most interesting place for me to see such beautiful fabric!
What we learned how to do was to form our chosen fabric into a beautiful gown. We formed it from a flat piece of fabric into another dimension and shape! From a pattern to a beautiful evening gown that made us feel special for the night.
We created and formed it.
Kind of reminded me how our beloved FATHER GOD creates. HE formed us with HIS hands, too. Giving mankind the ability to be creative but as a human can only do.
So, every bolt of fabric has the potential to be created into something beautiful. Just like people. We have the potential to be created into someone beautiful, too!
Each time I read GOD’S word, the holy Bible I will always find something in it that will apply to my situation.
Even though I may have a particular verse or chapter it may have more meaning to it than I have read it the first time giving me even more understanding than when I have read it the one thousandth time!
This so wonderful as to how these words can give such comfort. So much guidance in every day life. The people back then have the same sins and problems of that day as we do today. No difference.
And because of that we can see the outcome of situations we deal with today. What happens when we do things our way or listen to GOD and do things HIS way.
There is no confusion HIS way. There is peace. And the people back then to learn this as we mankind will now.
GOD is cool, wise, and powerful at all times. It is good to read the bible as it takes your mind off of the confusion of the day.
If you could be a character from a book or film, who would you be? Why?
Priscilla in the bible comes to my mind. She was cool. Her and her husband Aquila had a ministry together. As my husband and I do. He is the outgoing one who can minister to people face to face. I am the one who will do the online part of the ministry.
I had to look up the women of the bible. At this link, I found that Priscilla is on the same order. But if she was mentioned in the bible, I am not close yet to these women. I remain humble. But o am not giving up to fo better with JESUS helping me and my husband!🙂
You know there is always a person in the bible that shows a struggle that they have gone through and needed GOD. And HIS SON JESUS. Each one of us could even relate yo one of the 12 Apostles that JESUS chose. None of them were perfect either. They were saved once they believed and followed JESUS.
What Olympic sports do you enjoy watching the most?
When I watch the athletes swim, I can see even before they hit the water all of the training and hard work they went through by how their bodies look. Strong sleek men and women!
They have spent most of their waking hours training for this sport. To win their prize. Being able to eat high amounts of calories because they burn high amounts of calories! 😄
To train and stay focused on swimming. No distractions. Staying on track. And getting the right results they needed.Doing what is right to win the race. Determined.
This has me thinking about how we who are Christians need to train to win the race of faith. To get yo the end as winners in life doing GODS will.
For those of us with the goal for heaven. Entering the gate of heaven. Having our beloved FATHER GOD and HIS SON JESUS welcome us in because we worked so hard to get there too.
