"Feelings Doesn't Matter Blood Matters"

“Feelings Doesn't Matter Blood Matters” Yes my day has been a good one so far. Had lunch at the Center today, with friends, and was happily surprised to have one of our old table pardners back with us. She has been staying away for over a year because of the Corona virus. Almost every day something happens to encourage us, and keep us staying positive. However, there is always that something to try and take away that positive attitude. “He that is in us is greater than he that is out of us.” A wise old proverb that everyone should remember. I may be slow to catch on to a lot of things, but soon or later it all will make sense. At the end of this life I have a feeling of being one of the happiest saints in heaven. I sometimes wonder if there I will still try to hold onto my behavior like I try hard to do here on earth. I have never wanted to be in the spotlight, so whether for greatness, or stupidity, I try to act like an adult, as my father always told me to do. “Which kind of adult, dad? “Don't get smart with me?” I started growing up pretty fast. I learned what respect for elders meant. We let our children get away with much more disrespect than our parents did, and I believe every generation has failed more, and more in this area of teaching. Although I can't explain why, I feel like the prophets of long ago knew this would happen. All we, as parents, and grandparents can do is ask God for patience, and wisdom to tolerate the hate, and disrespect they put us through. Put it in God's hands and leave it there. But always know God will never leave you nor forsake you. As for the haters God's Word tells us they will suffer for their hate. All in all The Word tells us LOVE convereth a multitude of sins. I hope my love is enough to pass that. I do not like to see anyone suffer. I just have to mention a little story I heard about which is suppose to have happened. A son was very close to his mother, and his mover loved him dearly. The son met a girl and fell in love and married her. But she was a very jealous person of the son's mother. She told her husband you have got to get rid of her. You have got to kill her or I will leave you. The husband killed his mother. One day he fell and broke a leg. His mother appeared to him and asked, are you ok? Do we have that kind of love for our haters? I hope so. God Bless Myrtle Jean Sharp |

"Thankful For The Comfort I Have"

“Thankful For The Comfort I Have” Tuesday, August 10, 2021, 100 degree in Perryton, Texas. Nothing could make a day at home more interesting than a day like this. I don't exactly have anything to shout about, but I am comfortable. Maybe too comfortable to care about anyone else. That is not true with me today. I have been thinking all day about several members of my family in great need of God's healing mercy. I need to see signs of this happening more than anything else. It's a constant battle to live on this planet, and stay positive about tomorrow. People with this proven attitude day, after day, have got to be prophets chosen by God. I am determined to stay in touch with these special gifted servants even when it seems we have lost them, or if the enemy tries to make us believe they are not genuine. When they do fall, like all humankind is bound to do, I will look for another door of wisdom to open for me. “I shall not be moved like a tree that's planted by the water, I shall not be moved.” Every day I look for that blessing I already know God has for me. You may not recognize it, but I will. Naturally I am tired at the end of the day, but I am always feeling refreshed when I wake up in the morning. I start watching, and waiting for good news. There is some bad, but always some good if we are of a positive mind. I have no idea what, if anything, anyone might get from reading my blogs, but because I have dedicated my life to the Creator of all things, I will be yielded forever for that service. When we have done our job, we can let God do the finish work. My plans for tomorrow are to enjoy another special day with friends sharing a good lunch at the Center. After that I don't know what I will be doing, but I know it will be something to satisfy my ego. I have to show myself that I can do all things through Christ who strength me, just like Paul, the apostle, said. Anything we chose to do, we should do it well. God does not like sloppy work, so let us put everything we have into doing a good job. The things I don't even try to do, God forgive me for trying to make excuses. Some are genuine, and some are not. By faith I am forgiven. God Bless Myrtle Jean Sharp

"Freedom Of Speech My Friends"

“Freedom Of Speech My Friend” Another one of those Sunday afternoons where you just want to relax, and keep your mind blocked. I don't know if that's a good thing to do or not. It seems like the more you try to understand the more confused you get. It is so hard to believe what we're seeing happen right before our eyes. I have just about lost all words that I was using to explain some of this mysterious, senseless, vague, empty, form of communication that goes on, and on. Seven days a week even Sundays this is the fulfillment of time. When will the reality come back? Will it ever? Is time of no essence anymore? Are most people as alarmed as I, and just keep quiet about it? Or are they refusing to admit that parlous times are upon us? In either case I do not have a solution. We will keep bearing our cross as long as God allows. I will do all I can to help someone else bear theirs, but the bible tells us there is a cross for everyone. I will not allow some bible, so called experts, take away that reality from me. The Libertarians can preach only love, and no sacrifice all they want, but don't expect me to believe it. When they say sin is no longer sin, and wrong is no longer wrong, they are not only taking themselves to a place of damnation, but many others who believed them. I'm thankful for the forgiveness of our sins, but we still sin every day of our life. They must be confessed, and forgiven by our Lord, Jesus Christ. The big question now is what is our duty to help restore God's presence in our country once again? Can it be done by staying home from church? Can it be done by going to church, but remain voiceless? Has our song of praise been taken from us, and replaced with a new song of trying to convince Jesus that we know who He is, but where have you gone to? I in good faith cannot continue to accept such nonsense. If I cannot feel the presence of God in His house, then I will not go. I truly believe that is the reason so many church pews are empty today. God has been shut out. It is not “Our way or the hi-way.” It is God's way. I am so saddened to see such haughty attitudes in some of the highest church leaders. I believe some day they will have a sad awaking. God Bless Myrtle Jean Sharp

"Freedom To Wear My Pajamas All Day"

“Freedom To Wear My Pajamas All Day” Saturday is the only day that I have free to do nothing, or whatever I want. Today I have fully taken advantage of it. I have done nothing but talk on the phone. Feeling guilty, but if there is no interest it's better to leave everything undone. I am told these kind of days happens to everybody. Just hoping they don't happen too often. Every day this week except this one has been a good one. Tomorrow I start a new week. It begins with church then something every morning the rest of the week. I'm so thankful that three of those days will be shared with wonderful friends for lunch at the Center. The other two will be shared with my son, Chuck, and a good friend living next door to him. I am truly blessed in so many ways. If I have to put my projects on hold for awhile that will be o k. Joy, peace, and happiness come first, and far most in my life now. Several members in my family need prayers at this time, and I will put them first. God help me not to sound doubtful in these troubling times, even though that is a battle within it's self. We must stay positive, whatever it takes. That depends mostly upon who we connect with outside of God. The book of Proverbs tells us to sit with the wise otherwise we will become foolish..I hope I can distinguish between the two. Sometimes there is a thin line between the two. I became a joker after I married my husband. That was what he was best at. I had to learn to stay even with him. Then sure enough three of my four kids grew up to be humorous also. The other one never hardly smiled at anything. To this day he is totally serious about everything. I would label my husband, and children as being part of the wiser group even though they joked a lot. Wise does not always mean rich or famous. It means believing in the Wise Creator of the world, and all that's in it. So wise that He shared His wisdom in written form that no one has been wise enough to understand yet how He did it. The Bible is there for us, and every word of it has proven to be the Inspired Word of God. Anyone who don't believe in it is nothing but a fool. From those remove yourself from their presence. Taken from the book of Proverbs. I leave you now with hopes you attend church tomorrow. God Bless Myrtle Jean Sharp

"How Much Farther Do We Lack"

“How Much Farther Do We Lack” What a good week I have had. One more day, and I can say I have had a blessed day every day. I have missed writing my blogs for the last three days, but that was because my mind had been working on some more important things. I have learned to be more flexible with my time. My schedule is no longer in effect. It's from now on if I can I will, if I can't don't worry. This change of attitude possible happened because of an answer to pray, which I didn't know I was asking for. When we say, “Lord It's all in your hands I will not worry about it, He will take us at our word.” Nothing can be more rewarding than that if we will keep our promise to God. The highlight of this day has been lunch at the Center with friends. If I do nothing else the rest of the day, I can take pleasure in feeling the encouragement these friends give me. They answer a lot of questions for me without my even asking. Is this not a blessing from God? Then our eyes let us know some things that words would never have told us. It's just always good to be with good people who believe in God. The happiest I can be is when I see someone walk in who looks 100 percent better than they looked last week. It always renews my faith. Then I must go to a place that is much less encouraging because God has lots of unfinished business, and needs our help. Sorry if you disagree with me on that, but that is a big positive for me. As I read the book of Proverbs, which I call the book of wisdom and knowledge, I am learning something new every day. I can't recall how many times I have read this book, but it almost seems like I'm reading it for the first time. I've never found it to be this alarming before. So many people have a way of trying to explain this “straight forward” book, but I take it word for word for what it says. Of course the sacrifice Jesus made with his life does help to claim victory over sin, but I do not feel like it voids the book of Proverbs. There has to be a reason it still remains in God's Word. Neither do I believe we can pick, and choose what we want to believe. I will say not everything we think it means is to be explained any other way, but I fear some are mocking the reality of God's wisdom. The word says no one is perfect, but we all should strive to be perfect. Just to remember that the love of God is the most perfect thing we can strive for. If we love God we love everyone. God Bless Myrtle Jean Sharp

"Give It Your Best Guess"

“Give It Your Best Guess” Well folks the fun is over for today now I have got to get to work. Lunch with friends at the Center today was beyond pleasant. It was hilarious. Yours truly exposed a fact about the consequences of getting old. The only requirement about repeating this “old age”drama was not to tell the children. It could be a “good-bye” home to the victim of a good intention. If I'm asked any more questions, I will not answer. Some things are best not to explain. The power of thinking is more important than relaxing in a recliner. I hear you my wisdom friend. I will sit less, and dance more. What fun it is to be simply me. I believe God is pleased with that also. After talking to my sister on the phone this morning about this bit of drama, she had the right message I needed to complete my mystery. She just reinforced my thought of what I believed about this unsolved mystery. I had not given her any clue about what I thought, but her belief matched mine exactly. Some things are just meant to give us more confidence in ourselves when it may have seemed just the opposite. At least I'm taking that for a fact at this time. I'm ready to try it out, just give me a little time. I still have a thing or two on hold that I'm curious about. In time it will be made known to me, and I can feel satisfied. It will be then that I will understand why I have not been impatient to wait for the right time. In the meantime I will keep praying for these possibly hard times some have to bear. Yes, I hear you saying you are the one who needs prayer. I agree, but evidently someone's prayer is being answered because I feel so positive about God answering my prayers. It's all about love, and trust in the One who gives us breath every second of every day, and night. When more people believe this they will depend less on someone else to pray for them. If we do not have faith to believe for our own needs how can we believe for someone else needs? If I finish my assigned work for today I must sigh off, and get busy. “Never let the sun go down on your anger of frustration.” God Bless Myrtle Jean Sharp

"Dance Or March i'm Going In"

“Dance Or March I'm Going In” What a nice shower we had today. It cooled things off, and the yard already looks better. My car got a good rinsing off on the way to church, but I didn't have to open my umbrella. How nice mother nature has been to me lately. Church attendance was good today, and I'm thankful for that. I feel ready to start another week of fun, and excitement. Lunch at the Center tomorrow is already pulling at me. Something good must be going to happen. Our cooks fix delicious chicken tenders with all the extras. The only bad thing about my eating regularly at the Center again is that it's putting pounds on me. My heart won't like that. Oh my! What a life of ups, and downs. My brain keeps trying to fail me, but it just don't know how stubborn I am. I will get my thoughts out whether in words, or on canvas. Nothing is going to stop me. The love of God controls my life, and I wouldn't have it any other way. So what if I miss a step or two on the dance floor. I can slide back on track, thank you. I'm waiting for that perfect dancer to come along and teach me perfection. Oh course I don't dance in reality, but I do spiritually. “When the saints go marching in, I hope to be in that number.” I might even dance my way in. I am so ready to spend some time with my sisters again. The long distance between us makes that hard to happen very often, but I have faith to believe it will happen soon. God has blessed us all with so much more than we deserve. Not with worldly goods, but with precious peace. We can all lay in our beds in the same motel room or house, and sleep all night without waking up. Can God be any better to us than that? Our mom and dad's four daughters are all still living as widows, but we still have each other. We all are still able to do our own business, and help others with theirs. I am the oldest, but can manage to make the others behave. Please don't tell them I said that. Any three of them would go to the moon if possible to help me if I needed them. And I believe God would make it possible. Here's wishing everyone a very happy, and prosperous week. God Bless Myrtle Jean Sharp
