Focused!!


The New Year, and New Year's eve somehow always seem to be a time of reflecting whether on the year past or maybe on years past but somehow always seems to bring about something. Thoughts of things we would like to change, a lot of times it might be weight, eating better, excising, being kinder, more giving of self and maybe money to others of less then what we may have ( and there are alot of them)...This year I did not make a resolution, most of time it always tends to be broken anyway what I want to do every day is to stay focused...FOCUSED....as you can see in the pictures above when things are not in focus...they can become very blurry, very blurry, sometimes so bad we can't make out exactly what they are suppose to be....what we are suppose to be....

That can be very scary...so I want to stay totally focused each and every day, every hour....first I want to stay focused on Christ....what He has done for me, and it is more then I will ever know in this lifetime but just from what I do know He needs to have all my attention...all my praise....and all of my THANKS...because without Him I am nothing....nothing....my person I want to focus on is my hubby, Everett, he too has given me his best...he is the greatest...he is loved by a lot of people...his family...he loves them...he is kind...he is giving..he is loving...he is gentle...he is funny..so funny...still after 48 years of marriage he still makes me laugh....when I am down...he can cheer me up...when I think I am unworthy ( and I am) he makes me feel worthy, when I run myself down he builds me up...he cleans for me, he washes our clothes...I want something made, he makes it, I want an outlet put in he puts it in...he moves lights, he rocks!!!! Oh how I thank God for Him....

Then comes our children...how God has blessed Everett and I with these 3 wonderful gifts from above...each one of them a part of us....how they have become 3 of the most wonderful adults I know and there choices of spouses...I love each one as my own...and my grandchildren...and great granddaughters...and my 2 grandsons in law....love each one of them again as my own...I am overflowing...as you can see...I am feeling so many emotions..of thankfulness to my Father in Heaven for what He has given me....That is why I want to stay focused...never taking anything for granted or thinking that I am worthy when it is only because of Him that  I have all these blessings...not of myself...I am not deserving....but by GRACE, by His mercy and His LOVE...
Focused.....Jesus...Hubby....Family...My church family...my Rama family...doing my work for HIM.
