The Season Of Hope
May God bless each and every one of you. Please don't forget, as we go into the New Year, that the season of giving should not end with the season. As you go through the year, remember to continue giving from your heart. Not sure why, some of us are fortunate while some of us are not. In today's time, there is a monopoly game being played with people's lives. Mainly with the high cost of rent. So not everyone out there in the streets are without jobs, they may just not be able to afford rent. Let us pray that the greed of some of the realtors, and investors calm down so that those in need can afford a place to live. Let us pray that 2019 is the year rent becomes affordable for all. Remember, we are all here for a reason. God Loves All His Children. |

Do You Believe In Christmas?
We all have our beliefs at this time of year. No matter what your beliefs are, please do remember those who are alone. If you live far, make that phone call to say hello, or send a card, or text. For the lonely, just being remembered can brightened their life. Whichever Holy day you believe in, find the time to remember family and friends, even if they celebrate differently then you. God Loves All His Children. |

May You All Have A Wonderful Week,
Enjoy your week with good memories made with all the goings and comings of the family and/or friends that you may only see once a year. Take the time to talk, take photos, keep the memories good, don't forget that Christmas, and all the Holidays, is what you are celebrating. Keep it safe and peaceful. God Loves All His Children |

So Many People
So many people around this time of year are so alone and feel helpless. When you see or meet someone who needs to talk, take the time to listen even if the conversation seems fruitless to you. You never know, just by listening, you may have helped that person go on with life. Show you care. God Loves All His Children. |

The Gathering
Do most of us gather for this four-day weekend in November here in the USA? Not all gather, many are from other countries and may not understand what the four-day weekend is about. For the Native Americans who gather on this four-day weekend in November, it's a time of remembrance and mourning for Native American ancestors. Let us pray that the Native Americans of today, the indigenous people of America, find peace. Let us all pray for those who had tragedy this year and therefore did not have their gathering this four-day weekend. May they find peace. God Loves All His Children. |

Our prayers for the Northern California fire victims. It is so sad to hear how so many have lost their lives, and how so many are still missing.
Listen to evacuation orders, especially if you have young children and/or pets. You have strong faith that God will keep you and yours safe, but lighten the load of the first responders by leaving the danger zones. Prayers for our fire people and all first responders. May their family and homes be safe while they're out saving lives and fighting the fires. God Loves All His Children. |

So many had fear and sadness in their lives yesterday. Our prayers for the murdered and the wounded during the shooting in Thousand Oaks, CA. So many lives lost, so many who have to live on without their loved ones. May angel wings comfort you through your recoveries.
And now to have the fires in the same area. Remember to listen to evacuation orders. Nothing is more important than the safety of you, your family, and pets. May God watch over all of you and guide you and yours to safety. If you had someone who lost their life is the shooting in the Thousand Oaks, CA mass shooting, and now if your home is in the path of the fires. Perhaps you feel you had no one else but that one person. Or your pain is clouding your sense of survival. Remember that your loved one, who is now with God, would want you to be safe. Would want you to evacuate and find a road toward safety and healing. You must continue on for your loved one who joined God, to remember them, to honor their life. In all the chaos, remember your neighbors. Your elderly neighbors, your disabled neighbors, etc. Our prayers are with you. God Loves All His Children. |

May Your Loved Ones Be Near You,
Some people find it hard to celebrate during the holiday season if they have someone or a few loved ones who have gone over to the other side. Especially the first holiday after they have passed. Christmas time is a time we celebrate Baby Jesus. The day is the birthday of our savior, Jesus Christ. It seems near unbearable to bring oneself out of the pain due to loss. Maybe we can see the holidays as the time to recall all the wonderful good times you had spent with those who have passed, share those memories as holiday stories with other family members and friends so that you honor their memory. Allow for the power of Christmas time to give peace to your heart. Never forget to show your love, tell the people who mean something to you that you love them each and every day. And for those loved ones who have passed on, send extra prayers their way and whisper to them how much you will always continue to love them. For those who celebrate day of the dead, our prayers for your loved ones to have been by your side all day long. God Loves All His Children. |

Who Can You Trust?
Trusting with your family, trusting with your home, trusting with your life, who can you trust in today's time? When life was so much easier, less wanting, satisfied with just a roof over your head and food to eat. Happy with homemade clothing and homemade toys. Now, with all the greed that's in the world, all the wanting, envy and jealousy found even within family and close friends. It is hard to trust in anyone except for God. Pray for God to lead you into being able to trust again if you have found yourself not trusting those in your life. The evil things that people do out of greed is what making you not to trust those around you. You can trust with an open mind that not all people are greedy. And trust with caution. Love in God may help you find your way. God Loves All His Children. |

Thank You God.
Let us pray and be thankful for the land we walk on, the trees we walk under, for the flowers that we smell, and for the birds and animals that we are able to hear their music. For those of you who have jobs, don't forget to be thankful. For those of you who have a roof, don't forget to be thankful. For those of you who have food to eat, don't forget to be thankful. For the clothes you wear, don't forget to be thankful. Remember, not all have what we are thankful for. So when someone puts out their hand to ask for spare change, giving is one way to be thankful for what you have. "Whatever you did for the least of these, you did for me." Matthew 25:40 God Loves All His Children. |

Mother Nature is really upset with all humans all over this Earth, even while some humans are trying their best to save Mother Nature. Some of us are not able to be at protests that we wish to attend, due to jobs, illness, etc. and we feel bad about not being able to attend a save our Earth protest, or a save our water protest, etc. For those who cannot be at a protest to save our Earth/water/animals, you can help at home by seriously committing to saving water, recycling, composing, not using poisons on your land or in your house, and even more by not buying or supporting brands and/or companies who care more about profit than about their consumers, children, the Earth, the waters, and the animals. Go online and learn how you can do your part from your home, and just remain within the law as you do your part to help save our Earth. Cautious about donating money, if you decide to go this route make sure you research before you donate funds. God Loves All His Children. |

Thought we would share about a Saint for Coffee Lovers! Why is St. Drogo the patron of Coffee? We can't seem to find a clear answer to this question. One article we read suggested that because St. Drogo survived a fire unharmed, he can relate to how coffee beans are not destroyed by fire. Allow coffee to energize you, not only your body but your mind and faith. Take a moment as you sip your coffee each and every day to reflect, perhaps have a silent conversation with God. Talk with God even when there is nothing you need to ask of Him, perhaps say your favorite prayer, or simply say a few words of gratefulness, maybe say a prayer for some random, unknown person out in the world. What you choose to speak to God about may feel like a one-sided conversation, but as you continue through your day, week or even month, keep an eye out and an ear open for a sign that your heart-to-heart talk with God was heard. If you believe in Saints, maybe you can include a thank you to St. Drogo for your pleasant cup of coffee each morning, request for a clear mind during your communications with God, or say a prayer for Shepherds in St. Drogo's honor (yes, there are still shepherds working their sheep in our 21st century). God Loves All His Children Learn more about St. Drogo @ https://www.crisismagazine.com/2015/rediscovering-saint-drogo-sebourg https://www.catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=2989 |

Our Prayers for Indonesia, due to the Earthquake and Tsunami that struck them.
Remember, be careful after any powerful natural event. In this case, the Tsunami struck after the warning was removed. Wherever you are in the world, take caution days after any powerful natural event. |

Research, Research Before Signing,
Don't over mortgage your home, your equity should be only for 911 this way it will always be there if you're ever truly in need of funds. Try to avoid reverse mortgage, unless you have no one to leave your home to and would like to use your equity (in that case, be careful and research the reverse mortgage company choices). Cautious with some of those home insurance scams and home insurance membership scams. Research before you sign anything, don't be rushed into signing. Research, research, research. God Loves All His Children. |

History
Learning about history can be fun and entertaining. Sometimes, when it becomes personal, it can be sad when our neighborhoods or favorite places changes and become part of history. When we consider our environment, do we really want the beautiful world that God has created and gifted to us to become history? Do we only want to be able to see our beautiful world through artwork, photographs, and descriptions? Do you want your children to only be able to experience the beauty of our world through virtual reality videos? Do you want to only have the choice to live in an artificial environment and eat artificial food? Think when you spend your hard-earned money on the items, necessities, and food that you buy. Every purchase is a vote. When you place your vote, try to choose the items, necessities, and food that is good for you, yours, the wildlife, and the environment. It is true that God guides human minds and helps for innovations to be understood and become realized. But there is light and dark science, we have to learn to understand what innovation is truly good and beneficial from what is a masquerading danger. God Loves All His Children. |

Our prayers for those who chose not to evacuate during the storms that have struck.
So many face dangers. Our prayers and gratitude to all the rescue workers. They are brave, and may God protect them as they save lives. For those who will return to their houses after the storm, to find that their house is heavily damaged or no longer standing, may God guide them as they rebuild their lives. |

Lend a Helping Hand
Sometimes it is difficult to give help that would change things in a way that will not be a benefit or a profit to you. But sometimes, maybe, God has placed you on a path where your help is needed. It'll be difficult to push selfishness aside, because offering a helping hand is not about yourself it is about the person in need. It may be something small, something simple, it may be a form of help you must give anonymously. I don't mean money. Money can be spent unwisely, or turned into debt. Gifts from the kindness of your heart. Use your senses to detect where your help is needed and what your help means to you. Remember to not go into debt, or get yourself into legal trouble, neglect you or yours, or place yourself in danger while helping. In being cautious while helping others, you'll be able to do more. In the end, maybe you'll find that there is a profit in the help you gave, the profit of a good, noble feeling. God Loves All His Children. |

Close Calls,
Have you ever had a close call? Where you could have been seriously injured, placed in danger, or died? I think we all have our stories, but have you thanked God and His angels for your luck? Many are ready to blame God when something negative happens. Quick to demand why. Quick to think that God has struck out with His anger instead of the gifting of His grace. When something bad happens in life, we go for help; to our parents, to the police, to the doctor, to the media, to someone we trust. We do not blame these people for what had happened. Yes, God is everywhere. Why is it that sometimes evil seems to have an upper hand might be part of some evil plan in itself to pull God's children away from Him. As you go through life, pray for safety for you and yours, and do your best to keep yourself safe. If something negative happens, run to God not away from Him. Hold onto your faith, and remember to say thank you to God and His Angels when you are lucky. God Loves All His Children. |

We here at, A Cup Of Coffee With God Vision Ministry hope to show ways to save by sharing ideas like homemade crafts, homemade cooking, small DIY projects, saving for that 911, etc. We hope to encourage our readers to keep in touch with their family and friends, and to keep in remind that you don't have to stress yourself by getting into debt, there are other ways to enjoy life.
In todays time you hear over and again how families are hurting each other because of financial troubles. You love your family/friends, so don't stress your finances. And if you are in debt, have a family meeting so that the whole family can work together in the effort to reduce the debt. A mind can get out of control and not think right when under stress. A little debt today can increase rapidly in a few short months. God Loves All His Children. |

Let us pray for Hawaii and for Australia, for their recovery after the storms that struck these islands.
Prepare, Saving for a raining day is not only about saving funds. Prepare in other ways as well. Stock up on non-perishable foods, water, emergency supplies, and the things that you and your family need. Make sure to check dates, and replace outdated food and emergency supplies as needed. No matter where you live, you never know when you may need a stash of goods that will help you and yours survive. Also think about the things that you need to keep handy in case you need to evacuate in a rush, items like pictures, identifications, backup memory drives, important documents, medications, keepsakes, etc. Make a plan with your family members about where to meet in case of separation.

Forgotten, True History,
I don't believe in erasing history, I do believe in correcting history. There have been many cases where history is taken off display and hidden away so that it would not offend others or expose true history. Sometimes history is completely destroyed or replaced with false history. History is history, so long as it is true history. Instead of taking down or destroying history, why not add a sign explaining why this history offends most people. We can't continue to erase or cover up true history. I know of several histories from a variety of categories that have been erased, edited, or left out of true history, like Don José Figueroa, who was governor of Alta California around 1933-1935 during the Mexican era. By displaying history informative signs (positives and/or negatives), it will expose more people to a true and unedited past. Keep true history in your life, don't let it be forgotten. Most important, keep peace while preserving history. Make certain to fact check your history research from several reliable sources. Be sure to keep an open mind. God Loves All His Children. |

For The Good/For The Bad
Why do we do the things we do? Some do good things, some do bad things, why is it that we do what we do? Yes, life sometimes sounds just like a riddle. I have seen kids grow up in not so good of a homes, yet they grow up to do the same to their kids that was done to them. Life just seems to repeat, and repeat. You have some kids who grow up and don't want the same bad life for their children, therefore they take a turn for a better life. Rich or poor, they give their children a life that they would had loved to have had. Parents who didn't drink, do drugs, or beat on each other. Use your own mind and give your children a life without fear and hate. Maybe it would be a better world if we stopped the hate at home so that it wouldn't be repeated into the world. God Loves All His Children. |

For those of you who are new or haven't read what, A Cup Of Coffee With God Vision Ministry is about, we would like to post a reminder note about what we do here on this site.
Vision Ministers, Patsy and C'Ann want to inspire people to eliminate their debt, to save funds for that rainy day or that thunderstorm, to think about retirement no matter if you are a young adult or middle aged. Minister Patsy knows first hand about the magical feeling of a credit card, and she knows just how fast debt can become a bewildered nightmare. She journeyed and managed to find a way onto a debt-free path. Debt becomes like an overdone, Halloween fun house; at first it is fun and a thrill, you see an early exit but it becomes hypnotic and you continue only to discover a confusing and alarming path, then comes the moment when you want out, yet you're not sure how to find the way to the emergency exit. We would like to share easy ideas in ways of saving, and hope that with these ideas you will find that debt-free exit. Ideas like: start small homegrown gardens, homemade gifts, cook and bake your food for the week and freeze...etc. It is how families in the past lived before debt was the in-thing. Remember, it takes baby steps. God Loves All His Children. |

More! More!
Have you ever sat down to think about why you want more stuff? Stuff that are not needed to live, you just want it. There is nothing wrong about wanting more things as long as you pay with your cash, so that you don't put yourself in debt. Also, there is nothing wrong with buying things as long as you know that you have a emergency savings and no debt. I have seen people live life to the fullest, then something goes wrong and they don't have an emergency savings account, as a result they have to ask family or friends for a handout. Some may say no because they've seen these people live life like there is no tomorrow and cannot understand how they suddenly need financial help. Save, save, save for that tomorrow! Think about why you shop, shop, shop. It may be because something from your past that negatively affected you and shopping makes you feel better about yourself. God Loves All His Children. |

The Garden
How is your garden doing? In some areas there is so much water and in other areas there is not enough water. God's land seems to be mad about how some of the people are treating each other and the Earth. Let us pray for Mother nature to calm down. God Loves All His Children. |

Christmas In July,
Why not start buying your gifts in July, this way by the time the C'mas season comes you have the time to do your baking and have more time for your family and friends. When buying, think about avoiding items like electronics so you needn't worry if it works properly. Also, you may want to avoid clothing for growing little ones if you are shopping early. If you handmake your gifts, starting your craft projects in July will give you more time to make your gifts. It may be a good idea to make a few extra gifts, for the person or people who show up unexpectedly. Don't over stress yourself, give yourself time to enjoy life. God Loves All His Children. Christmas In July History
We searched the web and found this article online: Christmas jumpers in July? Australia’s Irish get festive. The tradition of celebrating in July started with group of Irish near Sydney in 1980 by Ciara Kenny on Mon, Jul 24, 2017, 13:15
From the article, The rather bizarre concept is thought to have originated with a group of Irish immigrants holidaying in the Blue Mountains near Sydney in July 1980. Spotting snowflakes falling outside the window of their hotel, they spoke of Christmases past and how celebrating at the height of summer in Australia just wasn’t the same. The owner, who had heard all about Christmases in Ireland from his Irish father, conjured up the idea for a “Yuletide” party with turkey and ham, mulled wine, a roaring log fire and decorations. The re-created Christmas dinner for his homesick Irish guests was held a few weeks later, and again the following year, and the year after that.

Our prayers are with the victims of the News Paper shooting at the Capital Gazette in Annapolis, Maryland. They were targeted for having done their job, reporting the truth, which helped a stalking victim.
Be watchful, no matter what your job is or if there is a known threat or not. In today's time, we must always be aware of our surroundings and be prepared for the worst case scenario. Our prayers are with you. |

Look For The Blessing
We are all blessed in one way or another, you just have to look for it. It should not be far, you just have to see that it is right in front of you. We are blessed in many ways, take the time and see with your eyes, smell with your nose, and listen with your ears. You may smell the favorite aroma that reminds you of someone who is no longer with you, or you may hear a sound that takes your mind back to a precious memory, you may even see a bird or a butterfly trying to get your attention. For all you know, all these little signs may be your loved ones who have passed on, who are letting you know that you're not alone. With the help of God, they are leaving you signs so that you know God loves you. God Loves All His Children. |

Save For That Rainy Day
We make a living by what we make, so why would we go over what we make when we go out shopping. Shopping is fun, but when you get home with all that stuff, do you ever stand there and look at all the bags and say, "Oh my, what was I thinking of?" Believe me, we've been there!! One way not to over shop is to leave your checkbook and credit cards at home. Make a list of needed items, price check online or use old receipts to note down estimated costs. Take only cash. and think before you buy. Ask yourself each and every time, do you really need that item. Shop for necessities first (e.g. food). Save, save, save for that rainy day. God Loves All His Children. |

Take A Second Look
People get what they think they deserve, don't think this of yourself. You should not think low of yourself, just because you don't have that high paying job. Having a job any job should be something to stand proud of, don't look down at yourself just because your job is not one that comes with a desk, or a high title. Having a job to help pay your way is what should matter, not the title. Take a second look and stand tall, do your job with pride. Every job is there because it is needed. God Loves All His Children. |

Overworked
We all want security in our life. We all would like a permanent roof to live under. But what happens once you pay off that home loan? Do you add to your savings or do you want more? Some are happy once they no longer have a home loan, and know that they have a permanent roof so long as taxes are paid (HANDY TIP: Pay yourself a monthly rent into a savings account to help pay for your home taxes, insurance, and home improvements). Somehow, there are some who are still unsatisfied, who want more and therefore get themselves back into debt. Why over work yourself, live life with family and friends before it's too late. God Loves All His Children. |

Expert
Sometimes we have far too many interests, and can't decide which to become an expert on. Perhaps it would be acceptable to learn a little about many things. Sometimes we believe that in order to learn, we must pay for expensive classes. Unless you want to become a doctor, nurse, lawyer, pilot, or something else that requires precise and detailed knowledge, it may be possible to learn for little to no cost. Especially if you're young, and just starting out in life. You may want to think twice before obtaining school loans that may take you longer to pay off then it took for you to learn that field. Remember you are never too old to learn, as we age it seems learning new interests is more exciting. Turn to books and the internet. Research the topic or topics that you want to educate yourself in. Make sure to fact-check from different resources and look for reliable resources. Find out if your state or area requires special permits or licenses for the field of interest'(s) that you have chosen. Have fun and learn, just don't become so consumed with learning that you forget about family, friends, and the joy of living life. In today's time, you don't need to leave your job to educate yourself. Having a job, no matter what your job is (so long as it is not unlawful), remember that a job is a necessity.

Mind Your Temper
How often do you not hold your temper back and let it all out? We are all humans, I am guilty of sometimes not minding my temper. After letting your temper out, don't you feel guilty? I know I do. I started thinking about what fueled my temper, this is something that you may want to try. What did you eat? Did you get your needed sleep? Or did you overwork? etc. I found that GMO dark chocolate is one of my food fuels for stirring my temper. Think about what brings your temper out, and maybe, just maybe you could lower your stress and feel better about yourself. God Loves All His Children. |

A Thoughtful Gift
Have you purchased a gift for your mom? Mother's Day is just a few days away. Do you find yourself broke? And you're wondering how you're going to buy your mom a nice gift? Or perhaps you are having trouble deciding what to choose from a world filled with pretty things. There are gifts from the heart that your mom may like. Maybe you can pack a picnic and spend the day with your mom at the park or beach. Are you crafty? You know what your mom likes, make something from scratch that is one of a kind. Think about memories your mom has shared with you from her childhood, perhaps you can find a way to recreate those memories. Do you live far away? Have you given your mom any grandchildren whom she doesn't see often? Gather a bunch of photographs, insert them into a photo album along with a date and description of each and every photograph. Or make a scrapbook with the photos. Then mail the album or scrapbook to your mom. It doesn't have to be a big album, maybe even something that she can carry in her purse. Think and get creative. Just be sure you show your mom how much she means to you this Mother's Day and always. God Loves All His Children. |

Happiness is Homemade
Sometimes we allow for the material world to take hold of us, we come to the belief that we can actually buy happiness. A new car, a larger house, an upgraded phone, this season clothing from high-end brands. There is nothing wrong with having nice things, so long as you understand that happiness must be found in the way we live our lives. Trying to find happiness in the material world could cause you to become blinded by obsession, and when that blindfold comes off you may discover that the only thing owed is debt. Unhappiness is often found in the stress of debt, missed times with family and friends because of extra work hours to pay down that debt, and the lack of funds when you truly need it. There are many ways to occupy your time at low or no costs. Get creative. If you experience these new creative ways with family and friends, you will build memories that you may discover are worth far more than anything that can be purchased. Happiness is homemade, begin to craft your happy heart today. God Loves All His Children. |

Life Changes
Sometimes you have to make a positive change in your life. Just remember to think about why you need to make a change in your life. You may think it is one reason, while it is really something else entirely. Greed can blind you. Make sure your changes are positive ones and not greed driven that just might leave you with a feeling of emptiness. Make positive changes that will make your life safer and/or healthier. Remember not to forget family and friends, you shouldn't leave them behind unless those people are abusive and dangerous to yourself, partner, or children. Keep family and friends in your life even as you add on new friendships. Some people make life changes and leave family and friends behind. Some people push away old family and friends because they change their life into a lie, and to keep their longstanding family and friends around might expose those lies. This kind of change in your life may only bring about regret and stress upon you. Be truthful about who you are in your new life, so that you can walk with your head held up and live happily. Sometimes when you're crafting a new food or baking recipe, it takes a few attempts before you perfect that recipe. You might find that making changes in your life is exactly that same. Don't be afraid to make a positive change (or changes) in your life, and if you mess up, don't be afraid to keep on trying. God Loves All His Children. |

Old House/New House
As long as you have a roof over your head and you are buying or have payments lower than rent, don't go buying (upgrading to) a newer or bigger house that will probably only get you deep into debt. Be happy with what you have, and remember to save for that 911 that may happen. I have seen others who bought a newer or bigger house only to end up losing everything, which made them wish that they had just stayed with the house that they had before. Now with the high cost of rent, some of those who lost their homes cannot even afford to rent an apartment. God Loves All His Children. |

Yes, We Are All God's Children
What makes a person think that they are better than another? Some may be smarter, or richer, or have lighter skin etc. None of this makes a person better. God's children are all one, so just because you may be richer, smarter, or have lighter skin doesn't mean you should treat others like they are below you. You should appreciate your blessings, and be thankful. Be nice to all. You never know when you may lose the thing you believe makes you the better one, and that person or people that you saw below you may be the ones who come to your rescue. Just being nice gives you a good feeling inside. God Loves All His Children |

What To Do?
Have you ever sat down and asked yourself what you are going to do today? There are days when you just don't feel like you want to do anything. There are times that you would just like to just sit back and relax. Why not do this relaxing thing one day a week for at least two hours, or more if in need. It may help you think about where your life is at, where your life is going, or what you can do to improve your life. Life is short, learn to relax a little. God Loves All His Children |

Why Be Jealous?
If you can see the good talents in someone else. Why can't you see the good talents within yourself? You don't have to be jealous of someone else. Search for your talent. You can find it. Don't let someone tell you what your talent is, find it within yourself. Think about the jealousy you have toward someone because of their talent, it might be because you yourself have that same talent. Find it within yourself and bring it out. Then again, you might be blocking yourself from discovering your true talent because you are trying to be someone you're jealous of. Be yourself. God Loves All His Children. |

Why Hate?
Why! Why so much hate? Killing is being done in the name of hate! Our children are the ones being murdered in the name of hate. Evil has been released into the world, and our children are the ones who are dying. We have lived in the same area for over twenty-years and we can see and feel the change as hate has slowly moved into our neighborhood and surrounding area. We live in a free country with freedom of religion. For years, our neighborhood has been and is surrounded by churches of individual faiths who lived without conflict. Now some other churches have opened and have brought the message of hate with them. Why the hate? Why take our Children? Teach love not hate. Teach love not fear. We can all live in the same world without the hate. Let us pray for our children's children to have peace in the world. God Loves All Our Children. |

How sad that evil has stained today, a day of love and penitence, when Valentine's Day and Ash Wednesday shared a single day.
Let us pray for the students, faculty, and family of the South Florida high school shooting. We pray for the injured and those who lost their lives far too young. May the parents of these children feel the support of our prayers. May our prayers chase away the evils that caused this horrific event. |

Don't Live Above Your Needs
Why would you live your life working for things you can do without? Live your life working for food, a roof to sleep under. We all want more, but sometimes more only makes trouble. For those who can't afford more, learn to say no. You don't need those things you can do without. You never know, it may make life easier for you without these excess things that you can do without. Think before you spend your tax refund. God Loves All His Children. |

Why The Hate?
There is so much hate in the world today. God sent us a man of God, our Catholic Pope who brings peace and love with him to all of God's children (God's Children). Then evil sent a demon into the world to bring out hate. We all need to stay strong. Love will overpower hate. It is not easy, but don't let hate over take you. What happened to, "Hi, how are you?" Where is that smile, or that, "Thank you." There are some cashiers who do not say, hi or thank you. Without customers, there are no jobs and yet many checkout people do not thank the people who picked their store to shop in. To some people, excuse me seems to be a bad word. Be positive, think positive, respond with positive actions. If someone is being negative, continue to be positive and maybe that person will be forced to see they are the one who needs an attitude ---readjustment. God Loves All His Children. |

Those You Love
When is the last time you made contact with those you love? Work, family, life are all hectic these days. Make that phone call, or do something old school and send a letter or a post card. Be positive when you call or send that letter or post card. Holidays and birthdays should not be the only time you keep in touch with those who you love. God Loves All His Children. |

This Land of God
This land is a loan from God, so why, why are we killing the land that has been put into our trust? We are killing the land, the animals, and each other all for greed! Our water is being poisoned. In some countries, the water sources are - or are nearly - dried up. A big percentage of people in certain countries live a life where they take what they have for granted, like water, food, and a warm bed. Let us all pray for those countries that are in need of water and safety. God Loves All His Children. |

Enjoy God's Gifts
Take time to notice and enjoy the little things. It may seem silly to stop and smell the roses, but you may be surprised what you see when you pause and actually pay attention to your surroundings. In the joy of a child's laughter, in the beauty of a butterfly floating around you, to see a mural painted on the side of a building or a bridge, perhaps notice the way leaves of a tree dance in a breeze, or the way the outdoor birds line the electrical wires. Pause safely in your rush, tear your eyes away from the phone, tablet, or TV and notice and enjoy reality. It may just be the most astonishing high definition that you have ever experienced. God Loves All His Children. |

Dreams
What are your dreams? Some dream of that perfect love, that perfect home, or gaining big wealth etc. etc. etc. In today's times, there are so many who are just dreaming of a warm bed and food to survive. The greed of some who have wealth, and who only want more and more that they don't care who they harm along the way so long as their wealth continues to grow. It is like a game of monopoly, but with human lives. First the game was played with animals, now it seems that the game is being played with people. May God protect humanity, and may God forgive those who are playing monopoly with human beings. God Loves All His Children. |

What Is Your New Year Resolution?
Some resolutions are to stop drinking, cut back on spending, go on a diet, etc. etc. etc. How many of you tell yourself that you are going to save funds? Or to try and pay down your bills? This is something I did in 2000, and about five years later I was out of debt (except for the house payment). If you try your best and really mean it, you can do it! All you can do is try and keep trying. No matter what your age is, it is important to have some kind of savings. I always believe in an old fashion savings account, this way you deposit as you can and know that it is secured for when you need funds. God Loves All His Children. |

The Spirit of Love
It is never too late to forgive, to go home, to hope, and never too late to love again. Nonetheless, it is important to remember that we are human and not immortals. I know those who just couldn't forgive, then when the person who they couldn't forgive was no longer walking this land, they filled themselves with guilt about why they didn't forgive and just leave the past behind when they had the chance. Forgive, go home, and you just may find hope and love again (that is, unless it is a dangerous situation for you. In that case, forgive yourself and try not to feel guilty for not being able to go home). Keeping in touch with post cards, phone calls, or online chats is another way to forgive if you can't go home. God Loves All His Children. |

Christmas
What does Christmas mean to you? How do you see and feel at Christmas time? Christmas is a time to forgive, a time to be with family and friends, a time to remember Baby Jesus. It is a time for good-will-doing from your heart. Make memories that you will love to remember, not memories you will want to forget. Pray for those who have lost their homes due to fire, floods, disasters, etc. Remember to be thankful that you have a home. God Loves All His Children. |

Our prayers for the people in the path of the southern California wildfires. For those who have lost their homes, keepsakes, and pets.
It is hard to understand why. Hold on to your faith, and be thankful if you and yours are safe and healthy. It is not an easy feeling to have the things you cherish vanish, especially photographs and heirlooms that can never be replaced. Even though it may seem meaningless, sketch or find images online that remind you of the things lost. Paste those images in a book with a description of what they meant to you and your family. Even while the real things are lost to fire, it doesn't mean you and yours have to forget what was cherished. Count Your Blessings Live in the moment and be thankful. Don't live your life wanting more. Don't let anyone make you feel negative and don't look at yourself in a negative way. If you are knocked down, stand up and build your life back up. As long as you are not harming anyone or yourself, be thankful and count your blessings. God Loves All His Children. |

Give from the Heart
It was years back when I looked under my Christmas tree and started to think about those who don't have. That was when I was hit with the need to give. Donate as you can. Food, toiletries, baby goods, toys, clothes are some of the things that are always needed. With funds, you can't be sure if the money was spent on the people who truly need, or how much of the funds was contributed toward necessities and the things that you would like the money to be spent on. Research before you give. Give from your heart and you will feel the true meaning of the Holiday. God Loves All His Children. |

Black Friday
Remember you need to save for your retirement. Think, who is going to take care of you as you age and are no longer able to work. Remember that it is Jesus' birthday, not the person you are buying that gift for. Think before you buy. Giving is a nice feeling. You don't need to spend a lot to give, it's the thought that counts. You can buy something nice without the big price-tag. Remember to save, save, save. God Loves All His Children. |

Walk the Walk
Life experiences give each one of us a unique education, understandings that cannot be fully grasped from books, online, or the modern-day schooling system. When we have walked the walk, it gives each one of us an opportunity to teach and lead others. By sharing our personal experiences with others, it gives us the opportunity to help others avoid the same mistakes. We are also able to try and help others out of situations we have an understanding about. But what if we walked the walk and are not learning along the way? The past should guide our future, give us a guide map that is never complete but should help us avoid routes that we know lead to dead ends. That is not to say that we should refuse to walk again a path we've been down before. Sometimes we have no choice, and must repeat a path we know like the back of our hands. Perhaps it is God's way of saying we've missed something, or to bring us back down to earth if we have allowed for success to get to our heads. Just as you should never be ashamed of the paths you've walked, you should never be afraid of starting a path over. As long as it is not something that is a hazard to you, your family, your friends, or even strangers' health and safety. Walk the walk and be sure to learn along the way. God Loves All His Children. |

In The Eye Of The Beholder,
What does the saying, in the eye of the beholder mean to you? The beauty within a person is all that should matter. Some people see and judge others by their looks, not by who those people are within. Some may have natural beauty, while others may have to work at their looks to create what they think other's what to see. The pain and cost that a person goes through just to have that look can sometimes become extreme and obsessive. Be happy with God's gift of life. Learn to live and love yourself. Think of the pain and money you will save by just loving yourself. Stop buying that new makeover gadget. God Loves All His Children. |

Holiday Shopping,
We've been doing some shopping. We like to start our Christmas shopping early, this way if we get our gift list done by the end of November. Then we will have December to enjoy Jesus's Birthday with our family and friends. We have noticed that for some reason or another, people seem to be stressed out. They talk about how they have so much to do these days. Some talk about how they are not looking forward to the holidays because of the cost and the time it takes up. This makes me sad, that some think that they have to go way out for the holidays and stress themselves and those around them. You can start your shopping in June, or be the one to do something different. Think out of the box, like movie night at home with family and/or friends. Or maybe have everyone pick a name out of a hat, then everyone is only responsible to exchange a gift with that one person. Pick a date to have a potluck or a bring your own picnic event, where the gift exchange can happen. You never know, your costs and time may be less. Create your own traditions, just make sure to enjoy the holidays the way they're meant to be celebrated...it's about the time and memory making with family and/or friends. God Loves All His Children. |

Don’t Live With Fear
It is never healthy to live a life where you’re always fearful. Live life with caution, not with fear. Pray to God to keep you and yours safe, then live your life in a way that will not cause you the need to call for the help of God, His Holy Angels, and His Saints. Remember that when something negative happens, don’t blame God. Sometimes it’s easy to blame our Lord. Perhaps that negative was caused by evil to turn our minds away from God. Maybe that negative could have led to something even more unimaginable, and God intervened. Always look to God for comfort, especially during the hard times. Don’t allow for evil to blind you with rage. Hold on tight to your faith and pray for Good and positive days ahead. God Loves All His Children. |

Send That Letter Out
There are so many disasters going on all over this world. It is terrifying when you can’t get a hold of your loved ones to see if they are alright. Have hope, remember that your loved ones may have lost the use of their phones and internet access. They may have also lost all of their addresses, phone numbers, and login passwords. It’s up to you to find a way to contact them. Perhaps try to mail by your postal services. In some places, postal workers are still trying to deliver and pick up the mail. Get the word out for others to try and mail letters to their loved ones, who may have lost their way of contacting you. Don’t put the phone down, try to also mail a letter, you never know, you may receive an answer. Maybe add a photo to your letter that will bring a smile to their heart. May we all pray for those in harm’s way, that they may find their way to safety. God Loves All His Children. |

Northern California is on fire. The past few days it has only grown worse.
Our prayers for the people and their pets, the wildlife, and for the communities. There have already been lives lost, there are many who are missing, and there are so many who are injured. We know it is hard to evacuate without many of your personal things and important paperwork. Remember the health and safety of you and your family is far more important. A house and the items it holds can represent sweet reminders of wonderful memories. It can be a terrible experience |
to lose everything you care about. If this is your case, try to record those memories in a scrapbook. Draw or find images of items in magazines and online that you can use to illustrate your journal with.
Remember that new memories can be made and new treasures can be collected.
Most important, remember that saving yourself and those who live with you are far more important for those who live on the outside who are worried because they can’t get a hold of you.
God Loves All His Children.

Regrets
We all have regrets when we look back to our past, or even now. Some may be big regrets, some may be small regrets, and you are haunted by those regrets whether they came about due to good or bad intentions. Look back on mistakes that you made, don’t try to forget them because they may only gain strength to taunt you. Learn from the mistakes that you regret, then live on to a better and safer life. Know not to make those same mistakes that will only add to your regrets. Remember to treat others the way you would want to be treated. Remember the boomerang effect. God Loves All His Children. |

Sins Of Our Parents
There are some parents who sinned by their own fault and therefore marked their children for life. Somehow, their children feel that the route they have in life is to follow in their parents’ footsteps. Maybe this was once true, and is still true in some countries, but in today’s time you can become anything you want to be as long as you try your best. You can change the mark that your parent’(s) put upon you, just remember to make that change a good one so that your children can start out their life following your footsteps and not your parent’(s). For instance: Just because your parent’(s) were alcoholics or addicts, doesn’t mean you have to drink or do drugs. Just because your parent’(s) were physically or emotionally abusive, doesn’t mean you have to be that way. Just because your parents were in a gang, doesn’t mean you can’t live a different lifestyle. Parents sometimes use their own parents as an excuse for their own bad behavior. Be the change. Most important! Don’t forget to forgive, and well you may not forget you can pray for the sins of your ancestors. God Loves All His Children. |

Stand Strong.
Mother Earth is furious that we are not taking care of her and that we are allowing her children to die. May we all pray that God will calm Mother Nature. Our children are dying along with the children on Mother Earth. There are many of us who are standing up to try and save our Earth, but we are standing against those with power. Let us pray that those who strand with Mother Nature, stand strong. God Loves All His Children. |

Keep In Touch With Your Loved Ones
Family! How many of you work, play, and work the time away? Time just seems to pass us by in the blink of an eye. With countless disasters all over the world, and the loss of lives. No one wants to receive that phone call that they have lost someone who they care about. It makes it all the worse when you haven’t had the time to speak with that person for weeks or even months. When you have lost someone who you care about, you’ll no doubt ask yourself why you hadn’t kept in touch with that person. Perhaps the person had been on your mind, but you figured that you’ll have time to call soon. Time ticks away, life keeps you busy, and all you wonder is why you hadn’t taken a few minutes to make that call sooner. Let us pray for the lives that were lost and for the survivors, who have to rebuild their homes, lives, and communities. God Loves All His Children. |

Our Earth
Let us pray for our Earth. Mother nature is trying to talk to us with all the natural fires, floods, storms, heat, etc. We need to stop all the hate. With all the hate groups out in the world, fighting with each other, killing people and murdering our Earth. Think about it now. With all the natural damage going on all over the world, some who are apart of hate groups have decided to help those in need. During a time of crisis, people on opposing sides have chosen to stand side by side. Why can’t everyone lay their hate to rest permanently? Why can’t everybody simply continue to standing side by side? After the clean-up of a natural disaster, learn to live together in peace. Work and come together to keep our beautiful Earth clean and safe for today and for the tomorrows to come. God Loves All His Children. |

If you are thinking of donating, be sure to research the institution who you want to donate to. Make sure that they are legit and that a large percentage of your donation actually goes to helping and relief efforts. Maybe you can find a way to donate items instead of funds. Do not allow for scammers to take advantage during this disaster. Research, research, research. |

The World Is In Chaos, Let Us Pray For Peace
What makes you go, awe? What inspires you? What fascinates your sight? We are human beings, all of us are people. Why are many of us spending so much time hating and spreading chaos? Let us find the things that are good, positive, and healthy. Let us find those things and fill our time with moments of wondrous fascinations. Love from the center of your heart, and don’t place limits on your love. Spread it out so that it can overpower the hate. God Loves All Of His Children. |

Signs
What signs have you seen? We have been working on a personal goal, which has taken us on a long and bumpy ride. A journey filled with constant road blocks. When we came home this past Tuesday and found two flyers. One was left at our front porch, and the other was tucked into our back gate. It was a positive religious message from a church. We took it as a sign that what we have been working to accomplish is going to happen. Think positive. You never know how a message from God will be delivered. Look for these positive signs and make it happen. This was the topic of the flyer:

The Road To Retire.
In today’s time, it is so sad to even think of saving for retirement. I have talked to others about retiring and so many have told me how they’re in their 70s, yet still have to work because of all the bills that they have. You who are in your 40s can start paying your bills off one at a time, so that maybe when you are in your 70s you may be able to retire. If you have a tax refund or a yearly bonus, perhaps you should put it in a savings account. Once that account balance reaches the amount of one of your bills, pay that bill off and then start saving again so that you can pay off another bill. It may take some time, but you may begin to feel a sense of accomplishment and enthusiasm as your bills are paid off. These feelings may give you the impulse to continue with the goal until all of your bills are paid in full. You may also, on your own at the of your day, collect all of your change and maybe your one dollar bills into a jar or can. You can perhaps keep this in the corner of your closet, then count it out at the end of the year. Perhaps you will find enough to pay down one of your bills. Think positive, you can do it. I’ve seen it happen. God Loves All His Children. |

What do you see?
I am so tired of hearing commercials on television asking, what do you see when you look into a mirror? These advertisements ask if you like yourself when you look into a mirror, they place uncertainties into people’s minds about their self-image, and they play on people’s emotional states just to sell products. These ads seem to be everywhere; television, magazines, and even online. Their job is to make viewers and readers feel bad about themselves to make more sales. Don’t listen to these advertisements. Save your money. When you look into the mirror, be confident. Like who you see in the mirror. Think positive and love yourself and life itself. The products that advertisements sell do not make you who you are, God and you make you who you are. Save your money and your time. Don’t fall prey to those scheming advertisements that try to deceive you out of your hard-earned money. Be a positive and good person, and remember that God personally sculpted you. You are one of God’s perfect creations. Uniquely special. God Loves All His Children. |

Thanks for the Blessings
For the plants/trees. Thank you, my Lord, for the creation of life of these living plants and trees that give us life and helps us to live a healthy life. May the land that feeds these plants/trees remain clean from oil, mining, and GMO (Genetically Modified Ingredients) so that our air may stay clean. May the greed of humankind realize that oil, mining, and GMO is killing our plants/trees and making our air unhealthy. May God protect the land from oil, mining, and GMO and keep the greed of humankind from destroying Mother Earth with their oil, mining, and GMO production. God Loves All His Children. |

Conversion For God’s Land
What have you done to help save God’s land/God’s creation/Mother Nature (whatever you call the land you live on)? What do you do to keep the land safe for the next generation? Do you recycle? Go to a dump site in person or online to see what happens to the items you and others could have recycled but didn’t. Once a landfill is no longer in use, it is just covered up. Made to look like the landfill never existed, and someone may just buy that land at a low cost to build housing. Would you like to buy a house that was built on top of an old landfill? What if you were not told? Would you be irritated to learn the truth? That hill in your backyard, do you know if it’s a hill of God’s creation or a hill of human-waste? Recycle! Recycle! Recycle!

Are you a negative or a positive person? Think about what you do, and how you talk or act.
Take your time. See yourself today, and think about how you were in the past. If you were or are a negative person by words or actions, know that you can change yourself into a positive person (little at a time) by thinking and doing positive things. Don’t block out your past and be ashamed of it. Learn from it, and teach from your life experiences. Be proud that you have changed, while not allowing for it to go to your head. Baby steps. You can do it. God Loves All His Children. |

There are some who put a wall up so that they will no longer get hurt. I don’t mean a wall that is made of material found in the physical world, I am talking about a wall of emotion. Some build a wall around themselves because they were hurt by love, some were hurt by violence, while others were hurt by a loss of a loved one and are afraid to feel that lost again. No matter what causes a person to put up a wall, when you meet or if you know someone who has a wall, don’t run away from this person. You may be able to be there for this person if you get to know him or her, and understand that this person may have been through something. With time, this person may dismantle their wall. It may take months or even years, and sometimes the wall may never come down. Nonetheless, you may have found a good friend just by being there. God Loves All His Children. |

War
Why? The evil of war, the killings, all in the name of greed or in the name of religion. Your God would not want you to kill in the name of which God is superior, so why would you kill in the name of God? Why can we not learn to live and share the meaning of the God we choose to believe in? We manage to share many other things with one another, why can’t each of us honor the God we want to believe in without being attacked or attacking? Why can’t we worship and devote ourselves to our own God, while we see the beauty in the Gods and Goddesses of our neighbors? Perhaps we should see religion like food. Food can be prepared with numerous ingredients, and some meals seem alike but taste differently depending on which recipe is followed. Just because we taste the food of another culture, it doesn’t transform us into that culture. We remain who we are, and our ancestral foods remain our sentimental favorites (the meals that our mothers, fathers, and grandparents raised us with). Food can also teach us that no matter what type of food you like, it is always easy to overindulge. In the material world, it seems that there is always more and more that we want. Some take from others and kill because they want what others have. This world is a mess because of all those who desire to claim and possess more than their neighbors, enemies, and even their friends and family members. Choose peace. God Loves All His Children. |

It has been reported that all victims of the Manchester terror attack have now been identified, we pray for them and their families and friends. We pray for the recovery of all those who were injured, and especially for all the children whose lives will forever be changed by this tragic event. May our God help us to have strength against this evil and to find peace.

Your Garden
A garden is God’s gift to all. For you who have the opportunity to be able to raise a garden, remember to think about those who cannot have a garden for one reason or another. If you look for and find a place in your neighborhood that feeds the poor, you can maybe add a few extra seeds to your garden. When you go out and harvest your garden, maybe you can send some of your fruits and/or veggies to this place where they feed the poor. This may make raising a garden even more exciting, knowing that your garden is helping to feed the poor. Remember to do what you can, and to not go over your head. God will understand what you are truly unable to handle. Don’t over strain yourself or your finances. All you can do is try. Flowers can also put a smile on someone’s face. Maybe you can find a senior’s place to donate flowers to, a woman’s shelter, or even find old or abandoned graves (be sure to never visit a graveyard alone, always lock up your car when you visit a graveyard). God Loves All His Children. |

Creation
There are many treasures in the world, but what do you consider a treasure? Are they the things made by people? Or the things made by God? Sometimes, people are inspired by God to make and create. Sometimes, people are blinded to the inspirations gifted from God because greed has distracted them. Then there are the times when a person truly believes that they are working on something good, but it is an illusion. Or perhaps that good thing was trusted to someone who misused it. As creators and consumers, it is our duty to be sure that we create, invest in, and purchase the things that are good. Good for ourselves, our families, the next generations, and the Environment. Many of us long for the paradise of Heaven. How are we proving to our God that we are worthy of paradise if we can’t seem to care for His creation, Mother Earth. God Loves All His Children. |

Blessing Of Seeds
For you who love or have the need to garden, here is a portion of a prayer. At the beginning of planting, some farmers seek God's Blessing on their crops. Blessing Of Seeds At Planting Time Lord of the harvest, You placed the gifts of creation in our hands, and called us to till the earth and make it fruitful. We ask your blessing, as we prepare to place these seeds (seedlings) in the earth. May the care we show these seeds (seedlings) remind us of Your tender love for Your people. We ask this through Christ our Lord Amen God Loves All His Children. |

A Cup Of Coffee With God
If you have not figured it out by now, then we wanted to highlight what it is that we are all about. Most don't think about it, perhaps you don't want to pay attention to how the world is in such a mess. Perhaps it is because many of us always want more and more, and never seem satisfied with what we already have. We just want more. Maybe if we let God into our life, we would then want less. Just maybe. So why not let God into your life? Here at, A Cup Of Coffee With God we try to teach that cooking, making gifts, and saving for a 911 are at least some of the things that we need to focus on in our lives. This way, when a change in your life surprises you; like a loss of a job or an illness, you may be as ready as one can be for that change. God Loves All His Children. |

Easter
Yes, Jesus Lives! So that we can have a new life, Jesus gave His life. On the third day after He died, Jesus returned so that we can know that He was indeed our true Savior, and so that we can continue teaching what He had taught us. Don't forget the pain that Jesus had to endure for us to live. What did you give up for the 40 days of Lent? What did you give up on Good Friday? Giving things up during these times, is more than just an offering or a religious tradition. It is to remind us what Jesus gave up for us. Why not make Easter a day to do something good for someone in need. In the name of Jesus, take the week after Easter to do a good deed for someone. God Loves All His Children |

Our prayers for the people who suffered the chemical attack in Syria.
When a child dies, we feel the pain of the death no matter the cause. Children are powerless in the conflicts of the adult world. They cannot simply hold up white flags and find peace, or choose to take the sidelines while adults fight it out in wars, gang battles, and other strife. We try to teach our children to get along with others and to clean up after themselves, yet all around the world children are suffering because many adults have not figured out how to practice what they preach. God Loves All His Children. |

De-clutter Your Space
How many things do you really, truly need? How much time have you spent looking for things that you can't find? Sometimes when you're looking for one thing, you instead find another lost item that you couldn't find the last time you had spent looking for something. Many times, precious memories or important things are lost and even forgotten about among clutter. De-clutter and organize your space so that you can have more time to live life and enjoy your precious memories. God Loves All His Children. |

It Is The Little Things In Life
Many of us seem to go through life looking for the big, the nicest, the upgrade, the top of the line, the popular brand, etc. What if we are missing the important things along the way? What if you just have to look for the little things in life to find the bigger picture? Look for what God has given us; lakes, oceans, trees, mountains, etc. Think about the life which calls these places home. Look for the beauty all around you. A weed may have just what you need to see and understand the beauty in life. It's how you look at the little things in life that makes life beautiful. God Loves All His Children |

You Can Do It
If you can think it and if you can dream it, then you can do it. Just give it your all and you can do just about anything that's good for all lives. Even if you end up failing, at least you know that you did try! If you fail, perhaps you need to consider new ways to try to achieve your positive dreams. Or maybe, it is time to dream of something new to try and make happen that will be good for all lives. There are always new good, healthy dreams out there. Stay strong. Good dreams do come true. God Loves All His Children. |

Family and Friends
Treasures in ones life, keepsake gems to keep by your heart. How nice it is to have a family and some friends. When you don't have family, sometimes friends can become family, a treasure just as nice to have. God loves to see his children live in peace. So why is it that in the name of God, we fight? We fight with our family and friends just because they choose a path to God that is different from our own. Respect others and ask to be respected in return. You have found a path to God that makes you happy, be joyful that others have found their own way to God. God Loves All His Children. |

How are you doing during these first few days of the New Year? Have you kept your goals simple and easy going? We hope you are finding success in 2017.
Let us pray for our Earth, for the people who are faced with hardships, for peace. May we remember that even when we are faced with negativity in our lives and in our world, God's positive energy is always trying to keep us safe and lead us forward. Let us pray for the families who lost loved ones in the Florida's airport shooting. God Loves All His Children. |

New Year 2017
The Start of the New Year is upon us. Was 2016 a good or a bad year for you? Try to treasure the good moments no matter how few or how many you were blessed with. Be thankful for your family and friends, and keep those who have moved on to God's kingdom in our hearts. Let each new day of the New Year be a blessing and an opportunity. May your resolutions be successful. Try to keep your New Year goals small and simple. Many times we set ourselves up to fail with new year resolutions that are hard to accomplish. Take one step at a time and if you fall, get back up and keep on going. Be realistic, be safe, and try and try again. God Loves All His Children. |

The Gift.
What is a gift to you? Is it about the gift that you receive, or is it the gift that you give? Gift giving is the fun part of Christmas, the time of year when you give in the name of Jesus. The gift should not be about the value of the gift being given or received. The thought or the need of the gift to the person is the value. Remember, Christmas is the day we celebrate Baby Jesus' birthday, our Savior. God Loves All His Children. |

Note:
Not all towns allow you to sell on the sidewalks. Look for a craft fair, farmers market, etc. to sell your handcrafted goods. |
Having a craft skill may help with extra income. You never know what the future may call for, so keep perfecting your craft skills. With a license, a table, and a spot on the sidewalk...extra funds always help. Don't forget to teach your craft to the next generation. One of the reasons we share crafting how-to and food recipes.
Handcrafted
Poem written by, Ann Crystal. Handcrafted are the items I make. This is my trade, to make and sell, as much my job as it is my passion. Once a respectable profession, now considered only a hobby, at least viewed so, by he general public. Skills once learned, and passed down to the next generation, are now explored by a selected few. The shoemaker, the doll maker, the bookbinder, there are more of us. We are lost in modernization, but extinct we have yet become. My trade is my skill, my profession is my passion. -God Loves All His Children.

Our prayers go out to the people in Tennessee, for those who have lost their homes and those who have had their lives altered by the fire. We pray for their recovery.
We pray for the people in the South of the U.S.A. who were threatened by the outbreak of over two-dozen twisters. We pray for their recovery. And our thoughts and prayers for those protecting the water in North Dakota. The Veteran plan to shield the water protectors and the water by creating a human fence. May God shield everyone who is standing in defense of our lifeline (Mother Nature's clean water). God Loves All His Children. |

There is news that on December 4th 2016, Veterans are traveling to join the Water Protectors in North Dakota USA. A gathering of Heroes who are joining together to protect our water and our children's future. Let us all pray for the Veterans and Water Protectors safe travel to and from. May all Veterans and Water Protectors be safe and unharmed in their protest against the DAPL.
As Americans, we live in a country of freedom. We should all thank our Veterans. If it wasn't for their bravery, we would not have this freedom to protest for what we believe in, or write to paper/web the articles that document the occurrences of such protests. We thought we would share this poem, which is followed by a note from the author. Inner Peace
Dedicated to "ALL" Our Heroes Together they stand, side by side as one, and while diversity still holds strong, a team they form, in each other, trust must be held. In their pockets, photographs are kept, of those waiting for their safe return. And it is we, who are the faces in their photographs, who must remember to try and keep the peace, for they return from one battle to another, between neighborhoods between husband and wife, children and siblings, from those we name relatives to complete strangers on the street. Should we not be ashamed? Can we not find the peace to stand side be side, together as one? To honor those who are in true war, our soldiers who keep in their pockets, photographs of those waiting for their safe return. Poet's Note
I wrote this poem because there are so many battles which are caused by diversity alone. Whether between neighbors or nations, why do differences cause war? We fight over the color of skin, for the traditions wished to be kept sacred, the God we choose to place our faith in...or for the right to lay our faith in science. We continue to argue with one another over which concept is the right one, when as long as it harms no one, how is it wrong to believe in what we choose, to be who we want? Even if we do not approve of war, soldiers fought for their country's Government. I feel soldiers/veterans deserve the respect of their nation's people. God Loves All His Children

Travel Time
Keep the spirit of the Holiday Season in mind when dealing with the stress that comes from traveling among strangers and gathering with family and friends. Keep your smiles and aim for creating good memories so that you can think back upon these times with gladness instead of regret. Travel safely, and remember that God is watching even when you think no one is...in other words, drive at safe speeds and travel with patience. You wouldn't want your love ones to think that they are to blame if anything happens on your way to or from visiting with them. If anything, be safe for your love ones. God Loves All His Children. |

Let Us All Pray For Peace.
During this time of uncertainty and unrest for many in America, it is important to remember who we are supposed to be as Americans. Don't allow the values we hold dear as Americans become lost. Don't allow yourself to loose your American identity, God would want kindness to over do hate. Love to vanquish fear. Peace to have a more powerful triumph over chaos. Live with God in your heart, so your actions and words can be done and said without regret. Americans can conquer without violence. God Loves ALL His Children. |

Who do you trust to talk with?
Do you have someone to talk with when you have the need to talk, but you just can't find the correct words to express yourself? Perhaps you should try to sit and have a conversation with God. You never know, it may help for you to let your feelings freely flow instead of keeping problems to yourself. Sit down with your cup of coffee, tea, pop, etc. and talk, talk, talk away. You may be surprised to find how much it may helps. Remember, the Holiday's bring a lot of good and bad stress. Try to release your stress by talking with God. You can talk in your car, home, yard, etc. Having a one way conversation with God just may help. God Loves All His Children. |

We here at, A Cup Of Coffee With God Vision Ministry believe that God created Mother Earth. We believe Mother Earth is alive and is in need of help, so God first sent some of His people...and now (if this is a true photograph) it looks like God is sending His Bison to help give strength to His people. All of God's people must help protect God's Earth, God's creatures, and all of God's creations. What God has made should not be disrespected. Let us all pray for Mother Earth's survival.

Halloween
For some, Halloween is a fun and happy time. From baking to making crafts, it is a time to make fun memories. It is also a celebrating time of faith for some. Then there are those who use Halloween in a bad way. If you go out to celebrate Halloween, just use caution while you are having your fun. Remember to teach our young ones that no matter how a stranger is dressed (e.g. a scary clown, or even in a superhero costume, etc.), that they should never answer to someone calling them away from their group or path. Halloween has an ancient history, and some may be surprised on how many of the old-time customs have carried into today's times. While pre-Christian traditions have influenced our modern celebration, Halloween has become (for most) more of a fun day filled with good times then a sacred festival. Fun Halloween facts. The 1920-30's was the year of the "Trick or Treat," when it was encouraged to give treats to bribe children to not play tricks. And while the pumpkin is a fruit of the Americas, the tradition of the Halloween Pumpkin can be traced back to Ireland and a man named Jack. Jack was a trickster who could even outsmart the devil. Upon Jack's death, he was abandoned to walk the Earth in darkness, but the clever Jack carved a fruit or a vegetable (it is said that it was a turnip) and placed a candle inside to carry along with him (they say that is where the name Jack'O'Lantern came from). May you all have a safe and happy Halloween. God Loves All His Children. |

Stuff
Yes, stuff! We all have a lot of stuff. Why? Who really knows. A handful out there do not have lots of stuff. Why can't we all be like them? It is said that those who do not have many things, do not have emotion to stuff, so it is easy for them to let go of things. It seems that those who have stuff, are really holding on to the memories each item in their collection of stuff represents. Such things help us to retain the past, allows for us to revisit times spent with family. Sometimes new items added to our stuff are acquired because they remind us of something or someone dear. Sometimes those items become heirlooms, memories that can be passed down by inheritance for several generations to come. This is something that I like to do, pass down memories. Just remember, that while memories are important, a life is more important. I do hope that those in the path of a storm (or a disaster of any kind), know that their lives means more to their family and friends then stuff. If all your stuff are lost in a disaster, once the chaos has settled and you find some normalcy again, make a journal about what you lost. Make a scrapbook made with magazine cutouts and images found online that represents the items that have been lost. Be mindful that the most treasured possessions you must protect and transport to safety are you and yours. Follow the path to safety. God Loves All His Children. |

God Loves Who You Are.
I know we've mentioned this before. With all the celebrations up ahead, we wanted to add a reminder. Who are you? Are you your own person? Or are you the person who you think everyone wants you to be? If you feel like something is missing, like you are in need for something but you don't know what it could be. Maybe you should look back at your life and consider what situations made you who you are today. There have been people I have met who have changed every time I see them. They are seemingly different people, from their appearance to their personality. I even met one person who changed his personality depending on who he was with. Then there are the people I have met who remain the same person every time I see them. These people keep who they are and are happy with who they have become. They have no need to change. You can say that what I am trying to write about here is that you should be happy with who you chose to be, and not try to become what you think others want to see. I am not saying that you should indulge in bad habits and not change bad behaviors, nor should you hide your past. These can only being about stress and headaches. Try to live a good, healthy life and be happy and proud that you are who God has led you to become. God Loves All His Children. |

The Power of Prayer
How many of you pray for health and safety? How many of you pray just because you want something? The powers of prayers should be for health and safety, for life and death situations, for recovery from illness, for safe travel, for the need of strength and patience, etc. etc. Sometimes we may need to pray for things, because we really truly do need them. Prayers in asking for something like a car for work, for a roof over your head, for fund to heave your car inspected for safety, for food...these are all prayers for things, but they are necessary. But when you pray to ask for something that is not an necessity, doesn't it seem selfish? So think before you pray. Also, be thoughtful by praying for another who is in need. Pray with good thoughts in mind, and when all is well and fine in life try not to forget to give a prayer of thanks. God Loves All His Children. |

There are many of you out and about who are going to celebrate your beliefs in God. We all believe in God in our own practicing ways.
All I ask is to remember who the celebration is for, God. So don't go into debt shopping to celebrate. God wouldn't want you to go into debt in His name. The number of people in debt is going upward, not down. The banks don't care if you are in debt, all they care about is the interest that you will be paying. The internet has a great selection of how-to articles on how to make your own handmade items, which you can make as gifts or donations. The time you spend making these gifts, in God's name, may mean more to you as you give them out. And if you are not a crafter, perhaps you can find something around your house that you can do without, that's in near new condition. God Loves All His Children. |

Make Good Memories.
Yes, it's just about that time where many of us have holidays to celebrate, and memories to make. Good times comes and goes by so fast, try to make each holiday the best they can be. When you see your love ones and you celebrate with alcohol, know your limit. Try to keep peace with all your celebrating so that you can have good (not bad) memories. Remember to pray for those who lost their loved ones this year, so that they can find peace in their lost and not loose their way in their pain. God Loves All His Children. |

Photographs
The love of photographs. Who doesn't like photos of family, friends, and memories...yes, memories. It is so sad with all the floods, fires, and earthquakes. Let us pray for the lost of life and for the ones who lost their loved ones. We can help with funds, food, supplies, etc. But one thing that we don't think of is photographs. I ask, who of you knows someone who has lost a loved one'(s) in a disaster? Sometimes photographs and videos of the victims of disasters are destroyed in the same chaos. For those of you who know survivors on a personal level, you may want to consider what photographs you have that can be printed/copied and shared with the people who needs to hold onto the memory of their lost. You may want to ask before sharing, in case a person has some kind of issue with photographs. It's what keeps me going. When I see photographs of those I have lost, I look at the photo and the memories of that time and place comes back to me, giving me a big smile. God Loves All His Children. |

Share Your Knowledge.
Why is it that people want to save their cultures and/or their languages but will not share their knowledge without some kind of payment? Today we have the internet, which most people have available either personally or through a library or Church (etc. etc.) that offers free internet for their members to use. You can give your knowledge by donating your time of one or two hours a week to teach what is being lost by opening up a free blog (there are services that allow you to create a free blog, just be sure there will be no cost to you or your readers. There should be no credit cards, debit cards, or banking accounts etc. etc. needed to open a free blog). Our ancestors passed their knowledge on to us so that we can share with our generation and the next generation. Don't let your knowledge be buried with you just because you would not teach without pay. There are a lot of free negative and free positive history teachings available on the internet. Why not add to the free positive history and teach your knowledge on the internet. We here at, A Cup of Coffee With God Ministry would have loved to learn our ancestral language, cooking, and stories. Then again, who knows, if we keep searching we'll find our ancestral knowledge. It's never too late to learn or teach. God Loves All His Children. |

Let Us Pray For All
Let us pray for our world. We are in the year 2016, why is there so much hate? So much hate. Everyone wants more, and more. Why can't we all live within our needs, and get along with one another. We need to help stop the hate and start to get along. We need to learn to live within our needs, to be happy with what you have. I know this person who left her partner of sixteen years because she wanted more and her partner had been fine with what they had. They both had full time jobs, a roof over their heads, food on the table, each had their own cars, and good health. But she wanted more so she left him???? Wanting more is what may be stressing the people of the world. God Loves All His Children. |

It is too sad all the killings that are happening. When is all the hate going to stop?
Police brutality happens against all cultures. We find it hard to believe that it is just about one culture. Police men and women must deal with troubled people, but they are not psychics. The people who commit crimes, the people who cause trouble don't just make themselves targets, they cast shadows on the innocent. Criminals are the ones responsible when an innocent is harassed by the police. And as we stop respecting law enforcement, we are making it easier for the criminals. When criminals have no fear of the law, they feel free to victimize the innocent. We are all human, why can't we just accept one another? All lives matter, we pray for all. God Loves All His Children. |

Mother Earth,
Let us make 4th of July 2016 the day you are going to help save Mother Earth...if you are not already doing your share. Mother Earth, as you may already know, is in need of help. Why not do your part in helping, every little bit helps. It can be something like, turning off a light, not wasting water, and reuse, reuse, reuse anything that is safe to reuse. It has been reported recently that the Ozone hole on our Earth is showing signs of healing itself. Earth can heal, all she needs is a little help. Have a safe, happy 4th of July. God Loves All His Children. |

And we pray for all the survivors, for their healing of body and mind. There is no way to make sense of why such a thing could still be happening in the 21st century. This has been occurring too often. Let us pray that we see less of this in the coming of tomorrows.

Helpers of God.
We all have some type of calling. It may be something big or something small, but we all have something that we have to do in this life. It may be a short or long term calling, we just need to look and listen. In some way or another, we are all a helper to our loving God. Just be aware of false helpers that say that they are God's chosen. We all have a calling to help one another, to give the correct directions to those journeying in search for God. We wouldn't want to see someone (or become one) who takes advantage of those in need of finding God. Love thy neighbor, teach the Word of God without taking from those who can't give. God Loves All His Children. |

Thank You 365 Days A Year
Time, the constant never pausing tick of the clock pushes us forward and keeps our minds focused on what comes next.
With summer nearly upon us, our minds are no doubt occupied with all the possibilities of sunshine filled days. The vibrant colors of summer replacing the soft pastel shades of the spring season. It has been 40 days since Easter, the most important Holiday of the Catholic and Christian calendar. The good memories created during the Easter season, memories made with family and friends during celebrations and gatherings are always a joy to remember. The most important memory of Easter, the one we should always hold dear in our hearts, is the reason for the Holiday. Our Lord, Jesus Christ suffered for our sins, gave His life for us, and was resurrected. Let us remember this, not just during Easter, not just for a few days a year, but remember 365 days a year. Let Easter be our reminder to be thankful everyday, and grateful for each new day. God Loves All His Children. |

Yesterday (March 24, 2016) was Holy Thursday, when our Lord Jesus had His Last Supper. Today (March 25, 2016) is Good Friday, the day our Lord Jesus died for our sins. Jesus went through so much for all of us, to give us all a chance. What have you given up for Jesus today?

Our prayers are with the victims and their families of the Brussels, Belgium attack. It is truly sad that peace cannot be found in the 21st Century, that there are still those who cannot learn to accept their neighbor as an equal human being.

Palm Sunday
Today (March 20, 2016) is a day we know as Palm Sunday/Passion Sunday. Today is the Sunday before Easter, the first day of Holy Week. Palm Sunday is the base of special ceremonies in history, which first started taking place at about the end of the 4th century in Jerusalem; then by the 8th century the ceremony for the Blessing of the Palms was celebrated; by the 19th century, ceremonies were simplified in order to emphasize the suffering and death of Christ. Go online for more information on Palm Sunday. God Loves All His Children. |

St. Patrick
We hope that you all had a nice Saint Patrick day (March 17, 2016). Most of you probably know (most popular) of how the Shamrock was used by St. Patrick to explain the concept of the Holy Trinity (three persons in one God). You can go online to learn more. God Loves All His Children. |

America, Our Proud Land!
In todays time, it looks and feels so, so, so sad. There are so many homeless people in need of a home, food, clothing, etc. It seems that even those who used to give are in need of help. The media has reported that the economy is going up, and yet during the same news broadcast it is reported that America has an epidemic of homelessness. How can it be said that the economy is improving when there are so many homeless? The homeless are not being counted is why it can be reported that the economy is progressing. Count the homeless and then calculate how America's economy is doing! Let us all pray for those in need. God Loves All His Children. |

By now you may or may not have figured out what we at, A Cup Of Coffee With God Vision Ministry are trying to do. We are just trying to share how you can enjoy God's gifts to us, by living life and not stressing yourself out by always reaching for more. Sometimes we must pause to realize the wonderful that surrounds us and fills our lives. We are too busy working just to have things and letting time go by. Try to look at what God gave to us, like His gifts of Nature. What happened to that old fashion picnic, that walk in the woods or beach, the appreciation of the birds and Gods other creatures? What happened to lives filled with homemade items, and homemade cooking? God Loves All His Children? |

How are you doing on your 40 days of Lent? I know that it is not easy to give up something you like, just remember why your are giving up something for these 40 days and stay strong!! If you fall, get back up and keep going.
I have given up seven things that I like, and I already have $9.00 in the donation cup. C'Ann has also given up seven things, she has $5.00 in the donation cup. This means that I have fell nine times and C'Ann has fallen five times. We just get back up and keep trying. See, even ministers can stumble sometimes. Jesus fast for 40 days and 40 nights for us, we need to stay strong for Jesus. -God Loves All His Children. |

St. Valentines Day dates back to at least the 14th century.
Some say that this day is for a Roman Priest who was a martyrdom in Rome. Also in Rome, there was a Bishop of Terni, Italy who was martyred. Both of these were about the 3rd century. Others say this day is for the Saints Cyril and Methodius. Others have said that there are three or more Valentines and that one of them, as legend tells, is St. Valentine who left a note on Love in his cell on the day of his execution. It is said that the name Valentine is derived from valens, meaning worthy, strong, and powerful. Look up the history of St. Valentine's day, you may find something new. God Loves All His Children. Have A Nice St. Valentine's Day. |

Ash Wednesday - 02-10-2016 - For those of you who give up something for the 40 days of Lent, perhaps try to keep what you give up reasonable.
Give up something that is difficult to do without for the forty days, yet don't give up something that you will have need of or that which is necessary for the well-being of you and yours. (e.g. Jesus fasted for forty days and forty nights, yet he our Creator. So don't try to give up something that can -in any way, shape or form - harm you). Maybe give up something that you need to cut back on, or something you know that you can do without, or perhaps even want to stop (Lent may help you give up bad habits). Examples: - Junk Food or Overeating - Alcohol - Smoking - Buying The Unnecessary (e.g. books, movies, decorations, unneeded clothing and shoes ect). - Gambling - Cursing - Abusing yourself by not taking care of yourself ect. ect. ect. If you do not know what Lent is, you can search online and read the meaning of Lent and why those who practice Lent give something up for 40 days. -God Loves All His Children |

Let us Pray this Christmas Season for those who have lost their love ones due to violence. Not being able to say goodbye is one of the hardest losses, especially when taken by hate.
Pray for the families left behind in San Bernardino, CA USA, France, and around this world. |

Let us pray for the victims of the terrorist attack in France this last Friday.
Let us pray for the families of these victims, and for the French people. May God lead them toward peace. The following is a portion of the Prayer: The Death of the Just The souls of the Just are in the hands of God, and the torment of death shall not touch them. In the sight of the unwise they seemed to die, and their departure was taken for misery, and their going away from us, for utter distruction; but they are in peace. And though for the sight of men they suffered torments, their hope is full of immortality. The following is a portion of the Prayer: The Death of the wicked The praise of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment. If his pride mount up even to heaven, and his head touch the clouds, in the end he shall be destroyed like a dunghill, and they that had seen him, shall say; Where is he? As a dream that fleeth away he shall not be found, he shall pass as a vision of night, the eyes that had seen him, shall see him no more, neither shall his place any more behold him. |
