Those who plant in tears

will harvest with shouts of joy.



They weep as they go to plant their seed,

but they sing as they return with the harvest.  Psalm 126:5-6





"Never, Never, Never, EVER Stop or Give-Up until you are SINGING."     ~tf

HELLO....This Is Your Wake-Up Call



If you are so tunnel-visioned and focused on the problems of this world that you've allowed it to consume your life every day, then that should be a wake-up call for you.  If the negative things in life have become your every thought, then that should be a wake-up call for you.  If you have nothing to look forward to but the drama and trauma that circles around you, then that should be a wake-up call for you.




THIS IS YOUR WAKE-UP CALL!




There are only two kinds of people.  The kind that are "OF" this world, and the kind that are "IN" this world.  Trust me, there is a HUGE difference.  If you are "OF" this world, then this world is the best thing you have to look forward to.  This world is as good as it's going to get for you.  If you are "IN" this world, then you know this world is nothing for you to look forward to because you have a promise of something so much greater.



No wonder there are so many people walking around so severely depressed and miserable.  They aren't giving themselves anything to look forward to but what they see in front of them.  And for many that is very dark.  But it doesn't have to be.  Everyone can have HOPE .  Even if the only way they can begin to find HOPE , is if they have to wrap it up with FAITH , it's still HOPE .  



There is better than this world to look forward to.  There is more to look forward to.  There is a final destination we are all journeying toward and it's not here, we're only passing through.  So, set your eyes on what's beyond this world and this life, because the end "HERE" is NOT the "END" forever.  No matter what is going on here, no matter what you will go through here, no matter how tough things are for you here, you can be assured of an ETERNITY filled with JOY, PEACE, PRAISE, and LOVE forever.......but IT WON'T BE HERE .  And that Promise we've been given should be enough to carry us through the difficulties here, because when we finally get to where we're going, everything HERE ........ .just won't matter any more .



Until the next time we talk........Stand firm on Philippians 4:13.

Love, Hugs, & Prayers,

"It may be a NEW DAY, but it's bathed in the same Peace, Faith,

Mercy, Forgiveness, Grace, Joy, Redemption, Hope, Justification,

and Love as every day before and after this NEW DAY.



Sometimes it's nice to know there is someone and some things we

can COUNT on to be the SAME every minute of every day. Jesus is

the same, and gives the same, yesterday, today, and forever."     ~tf
