Wear Your Wisdom Proudly!
Look in the mirror, see what aging has given you...that beautiful gray hair, beautiful bags under your eyes, and all those beautiful wrinkles and age spots...are all signs of being wise, of how everything you have learned throughout the years is within you.
When you look into the mirror, be proud of how wise you look and continue to become as you age.
Don't put yourself in pain trying to take away the look of aging. This would only take away how wise you look. Putting yourself through all that pain when the aging look will always return. Forcing you into a repeat of pain as you try and try again to hide your aging.
So look at yourself in the mirror, and be proud...not ashamed...of what you see.

Believe In The Possibilities!
In today's world, there is so much negativity. We all need to live positive, journey towards the possibilities of a better world for everyone.
TV and movies show so much negativity, that walking out of your home and into the outside world brings on stress. But that doesn't have to be, you can walk out of your front door with a positive mindset while remaining cautious about your surroundings.
There is more good then there is bad out there in the world, we just don't see or hear about the good often enough.
Just live life to the fullest while being cautious with your surroundings, and use good judgement with who you know or meet.
God Bless All His Children.

Greed Against Our American Children!
How could public schools close down out of greed for the property value these schools stand on.
How could greed be powerful enough to close down schools that our children need.
Our childrens future is in jeopardy when greed is allowed to rule our present. Our Land, our Waters, our Nature, our EDU system.
Beware of those who do not care about the harm they cause tomorrow, as long as they make money today.
Pray for our children.

!! Have A Blessed Easter !!
Yes, Jesus Lives Among Us!
We need prayers of Hope. We need prayers so we can all Believe.
Our small farmers need lots of prayers. The struggles that they have to go through just to put food on our tables. We need to send our prayers to all small farmers in the USA to continue their dreams, and help them by only buying locally grown and harvested.
The pandemic taught us that we need our American farmers.
Don't forget to start your own, backyard/patio garden. You can plant in the ground and/or in pottery.
If you plant with love and care, it will grow!
Have A wonderful Easter weekend.

Palm Sunday,
Remember the meaning of this whole week, starting with Palm Sunday.
We have this Easter week and always to think about what our Lord went through during this whole week. We need to reflect upon what He experienced to save us...His sadness, His pain, His sacrifice.
You really need to give up something extra this Good Friday, something meaningful for the whole day that shows your gratitude.
Have a memorable Easter Week.

March 18th Is A Blessed Day,
Today is a special day, a day between St. Patrick's Day and St. Joseph's Day.
Perhaps today is a good day for a special kind of prayer, a prayer to Saint Patrick for the evil snakes of the world to become powerless, and to Saint Joseph for the protection of our young children.

Green Spring,
This Sunday is St. Patrick's Day, if you're out and about, be safe, have patience, party responsibly, and wear your green!
Perhaps spend the day at home, watching movies, or spend the day in the garden among the green of nature.

Spring Cleaning,
There are many who love to shop, some because they are depressed, sometimes because they are bored, or just because they love to collect. Whatever the reason, so many of us like to shop.
There was this one person who shopped because of depression, because she knew that filling the void with items was better than alcohol or drugs. This, of course, led to debt. One day this person decided to pay off her debt, and tried a new way to shop.
Perhaps you can try to shop her way by going through what you already own. Go shopping in your own closet, storage, or wherever you stash away your goodies.
Rediscover old favorites, become excited over forgotten goodies you hadn't even realized you purchased, have fun trying on old clothes that are good as new, you may even find some good memories that were hidden away.

Smile!
The world is a crazy place right now, pandemic, war, violence, hatred, homelessness, sadness...
When we go through our daily lives, little hiccups can cause us to frown easily, while finding something that can cause us to smile seems rare to come by. I mean, truly smile, with a happy heart.
Yet there are so many people in the world who are going through true hardships, some of whom still find a reason to smile.
Sometimes, it can be because they understand that even small glimpses of happiness should be recognized, and sometimes it is because a light hearted smile can be a gift...for a child, for a senior citizen. A message of hope, that all can still be alright tomorrow.
Smile!

Human Beings Should Not Be Mean And Poisonous!
Why do so many work so hard to promote hatred? To poison their communities and the next generation with the seed of hate.
What would happen if hatred was illegal? That to be mean to another just because of their culture, their beliefs, their lifestyle, or because of pure jealousy was not acceptable.
What if we all worked really, truly hard to love. We don't have to trust everyone, but what if we worked towards love and peace.
Don't allow yourself to feed the seed of hatred, instead plant seeds of love and work to harvest peace.

What Did You Give Up For Lint?
Remember to stay strong, if you slip, continue your 40 days goal. Show how strong you are by sticking to what you have given up.
Remember to keep a jar, for the dollar bills you must pay when you do slip. Donation funds for your church or local charity for Easter.

Be Proud Of Your Choices!
Did you know that Valentine's Day is also for Single People?
Are you single and thinking about the upcoming St. Valentine's Day?
Are you feeling lonely, or perhaps considering seeking out a blind date for February 14th.
Are you day-dreaming, wishing for Valentine gifts, like a bouquet of your favorite flowers, or a gift box of chocolate, or perhaps a stuffed teddy bear with a little heart stitched upon the chest.
Or are you considering not celebrating the day just because you're single.
Perhaps, you should consider celebrating Valentine's Day in a different way.
Why does Valentine's Day require you to have a significant other?
Celebrate yourself.
Celebrate being single because being single doesn't mean you're unlucky in love, it means you won't settle for less than you deserve in a relationship.
To be stuck in a relationship that isn't for you can make you feel trapped. A relationship with equality is difficult to find, yet to find equality in a relationship feels gratifying. You're a team, not hidden in someone's shadow.
Until you find the right significant other, don't be afraid to celebrate being single and free.
Treat yourself to something you want. Send yourself those Valentine's Day gifts. Your favorite flowers, your favorite sweets, maybe begin a collection of little teddy bears, see a movie you've been wanting to watch, make yourself your favorite meal. Or, throw a little gathering for you and your other single friends.
This Valentine's Day, find happiness in being single and celebrate yourself.
Stand tall and never settle.

Laughter Is Medicine,
In such a chaotic world, sometimes it is difficult to find a reason to laugh.
So many people fighting with each other, becoming angry over the simplest things. The pandemic placed stress upon people physically, mentally, and financially. Wars and violence breaking out across the globe. Crime climbing through the roof. Everyone believing that everyone else is out to get them. Tough, difficult, frightening times.
Our television is showing crime drama after crime drama, real-life crime shows after real-life crime shows, and disaster show after disaster show.
There is a saying that claims, laughter is the best medicine.
Perhaps it is time for viewers to consider watching more comedy shows and movies.
Give yourself time to laugh, to allow laughter to melt some of the stress away. Perhaps it will help you find patience in this chaotic world.

Purity!
All this killing over purity, genocide after genocide, all because one culture or religion wants to purify any and all who are not like them.
There is no such thing as purity.
Consider a field of wildflowers, all beautiful, yet all are different. They exist together, in the same field. There are different blooms and leaves, more of some than there are of others, there are different colors within the same species, there are even different shades of the greenery. Yet, this field of wildflowers are beautiful, and some might say that such a sight is a glimpse of purity.
Demand your right to exist, and demand your right to believe in your chosen faith. Yet, understand that the right to demand peace for yourself (your culture and/or your religion), comes with the responsibility to allow others to peacefully be who they are and practice their own faith.
Purity doesn't exist, but Peace is real if we allow for peace to blossom.

See The Beauty Within,
There are so many beautiful people out there, who are beautiful where it matters...on the inside.
Remember, not all homeless are bad. You have to use caution. Yet, look and see the beauty within all people, including the homeless.
Many homeless are simply finding it difficult to be able to afford their own place to call home. The rents are simply outrageous.
We do not go into dangerous neighborhoods, especially Skid Row (which, even many homeless know to stay away from Skid Row). And we use caution when approaching a homeless person.
Once, when we gave an elderly man a pre-prepared homeless gift-bag that included info. on where to go or call for assistance. He looked up at us with these adorable, large, beautiful eyes as his sweet voice said, "thank you."
It is so sad, how we have so many homelessness in America these days.

Positive Changes,
How sad when someone who you love passes on, leaves us wanting to visit or call to hear their voice again.
Yet, more sad, perhaps, is when you must let someone go. Separate yourself from someone. Remove them from your contacts and go on with your life without them. Not because they died, because they are truly negative.
Negative people are a weight on our lives. They change with the day and you never know when it is a good time to call just to say, hi.
Some live a lie, and avoid those who know the truth about them. Sometimes that lie changes depending on who they are dating or new friends they have met.
All the while, they walk around, shouting out how everyone except them are negative. They talk about how they can drop anyone from their life who are negative because their time is precious and priceless.
All along, these same people, are negative with their real "family" members and friends. Unless they need something.
Sometimes, for our own good, we must be the ones who cut these truly negative people out of our lives. To show them that it is not ok for them to flip the switch on and off when they decide that family and friends matter.

Happy New Year 2024!
A Prayer And Our Wishes,
That 2024 brings peace to all the world and that we all learn to raise/grow a garden.
We need to understand how others live, don't condemn.
May we all learn to remain in our own birth countries and protest, peacefully in our own countries without bringing war upon our homelands. To make changes for the better, we must remain where those changes need to be made.

One week away is the Birthday of our Baby Jesus.
Let us pray for the Children of this chaotic world we live in. A world not too different from the one baby Jesus was born into, where evil hunted for our Baby Jesus before His birth.
Let us pray for a world where all children are cherished and safe guarded like precious jewels. Like gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

WOW...Only About Two Weeks Before Christmas!
For those of you who celebrate the true meaning of Christmas, remember it's not about the gift you are giving or receiving, it is about the birth of Baby Jesus. And we are celebrating to pass on the Joy to our Children.
Make this special day fun and joyful. Don't stress yourself out so you can enjoy this time with your children.
Do you have traditions? If not, it is never too late to begin a new tradition. It could be making craft, watching favorite Christmas shows, baking goodies, etc. Just enjoy your time with your children, they grow so fast.

Do You Believe In Magic?
The word "magic" is a no, no word to some religions.
Some of us believe of the word, "magic" to be magical. The power of praying and the power of strongly believing beings out the power of Magic.
You see the magic in the groups who feed the poor. You see the magic in those who try to build tiny homes for the homeless. You see the magic in those who raise a garden and share what they grow.
The true believers are those who bring out the magic in those who help God feed and roof those in need.

Work On Peace,
War is about hate. War is about who can be more evil.
Why is it so hard to keep the peace between family, friends, neighbors, states, and countries.
Perhaps peace is about closing the door to negativity. Not responding to evil.
Hate should not keep food and aid from those in need.
Starvation will always bring out desperation.

Prepare For What May Come,
Just because covid has slowed down, do stay prepared and stock your emergency shelves.
Any emergency that may come, you do not want to be standing in those long lines.
Each time you go shopping, just add that one or two extra items that can go into your emergency preparedness.
Always check dates before you buy, and rotate your goods on your shelves, by keeping your longer dated goods towards the back. Remember, unperishable items are the best. Don't leave out your pets, your meds, t-paper...ect.
When covid hit back in 2020, we were good for at least two months before having to go out and stand in those long lines.
One thing we're bad at, is not keeping our car gas tanks at least at half full. That is our fault for being lazy. This is another thing you don't want to have to sit in a long line for.
Stay safe, stay stocked, and live a good, positive life.

Peace,
What is the meaning of peace?
We all want peace around the world...why then can we not find peace if we all want peace in our lives?
We teach our children to not fight and to get along with each other. Yet, our children grow up and are in the center of the continued breakage of peace.
Not being able to have peace in this world has to do with greed and wanting power.
It all starts in the home, living with someone who always needs to be in control. The family around them always walking on eggshells to avoid the outrage of the one in control.
Here is a poem about peace:
Inner Peace
Dedicated To “ALL” Our Heroes
by Ann Crystal
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 by 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: Inner Peace
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, for 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?

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 by 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: Inner Peace
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, for 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?

The Evil men Do!
Most of the world is still ruled by a big percentage of men, who seem to not be able to grow up and be matured. These men are like children who are out of control and are killing truly innocent children.
What are these men thinking, children are not born with shields to protect themselves from the violence of war.
To target children is to act cowardly.
With every start of a war, is a retaliation of another war.
I'm not saying that women are perfect, it just seems that in history, most wars were caused by men.
It's sad to see how greed follows wars. Our children are dying while the stock is rising. Is that so sad?
Strong, strong Prayers are in need around the world. Believe in your Prayers, believe in Hope.

Stop the Hate,
Hate in the world has become widespread, like a pandemic of hatred, and the children of this world are the ones who are most suffering from the chaos caused by the hate.
Live your lives with love, kindness, and goodness. Anything outside of this is evil at work.
Prayers all around the world for peace. Prayers for those who are caught in the center of the chaos of war.

The Power Of Prayers!
Prayers are needed. Our world is allowing for evil to enter because we are leaving our faith and prayers behind.
We need to believe in the power of our good God, that He is waiting and listening for our prayers. Our God is trying, over and again, to guide our way.
Listen and believe in the power of prayers.

Debt Free Celebrations,
The beginning of the holiday season is now upon us!
If you're like us, this time of year makes you feel absolutely wonderful.
We naturally have good and bad memories around the holidays, but it is the good memories, the good times that are important to hold onto.
The magic of the holidays exist in the positive, the fun times.
Try to limit the stress by avoiding the lure of the advertisements that make you and yours believe that happiness can be bought. Consider these temptations as illusions that might make you happy until you receive the bills.
Try to seek a different kind of happiness this holiday season, make new traditions that highlights the true meaning of celebration.
Be happy just being among those you love and care about.
Perhaps make gifts by upcycling.
Be appreciative about the small good things instead of the expensive or must-have items.
Be charitable without going into debt.

Preparedness,
These days, with all of nature's disasters and the ever changing viruses, you never know what you'll need to prepare for...
To help yourself and your surroundings, most important, start with food (including for pets), water, medicine, and first aid kits.
Try to keep three to six months of supplies. You don't need to panic buy and purchase everything you might need at once. A couple of cans, a box of bandaids, etc. bought here and there will add to your preparedness supplies. Rotate your perishable supplies by date so that you'll have no waste.
Be prepared so that you're not out there with the crowd of all those who did not prepare.
Play it safe.

Wealth, Fame, Success!
Go for the job you know that's right for you, not one someone pushed you into applying for or that you believed would get you wealth, fame, or success.
In many cases, fame comes by nearly accident and working for wealth sometimes makes you miss out on living life.
Success is the tricky one. It is defined by our personal goals, and should be about what makes us happy not popular.
Let me tell you a story about this one person.
This person was speaking with me about leaving her partner, who she had been with for over seventeen years.
First thing I asked, is your partner abusive?
She answered, no.
Then I asked, then why after over seventeen years together do you want to break up your relationship?
She said, that it is because she wanted more in life while he was happy with what they had.
So she walked out and left him. Since then, she has been struggling and struggling, while moving from one new partner to the next.
Sad to say, twelve years later, this person is still trying to find Wealth, Fame, and Success!
When you're trying to better your life, consider carefully the choices you make and what is really important in life. Seek happiness, tranquility, and stability over wealth, fame, and success.

Hidden Photos,
How many of you have tucked away photos because that person has passed on? And you don't want to see those photos because it brings you sadness...
For most out there, photos brings back good memories, and they like displaying photos of their loved ones who have passed on.
Don't allow for photos to bring sadness to your life. Display your photos and remember the good times.
There is this one person I know, who received photos from the past and was so happy to see these photos that brought back so many good memories of the past that he believed were gone. Now he displays these photos, and when he sees the photos he recalls the moment each photo was taken with a smile... remembering those good times.
Try displaying your hidden photos, and see if it helps you relive your happy moments.

Forgive Yourself,
Good people make bad choices, don't let it bring you down.
Sometimes we all make a mistake, we make bad choices, we follow bad people. You can pull away from those bad choices and negative people.
Learn to make good choices, learn to forgive yourself for the bad choices you had made in the past, find a positive group that can help you follow and stay on a positive path.
Leave your negative path behind, don't allow for it to pull you down. Be honest about your past, as a reminder to stay on the positive path. Don't hide your past, let others learn that they too can change directions from a bad path onto a good path.

Why Wait For A Funeral????
It makes you wonder, why is it that some friends and relatives don't take the time to visit you even though you've asked them to come by (especially when they're traveling through your town). They avoid your phone calls, they won't visit, they won't write...yet most will come to stand around at your funeral.
Most people would like to talk and visit with their family and friends while they are alive, these are the good memories to have. The visits, and the conversations (even if only by chatting over a phone), the collected photographs...not the memories of a funeral.
Make some good memories, call and visit now. Especially your elders. Have some respect and be the one to visit your elders, not expect them to come to you. Be the one to keep in constant contact with your parents, aunts, and uncles.

Part- Time Christians...
Beware of Part-Time Christians, sometimes these people can be the most dangerous to follow.
They teach with a hatred that better belongs to evil, not goodness.
They know how to speak, they lure their flock by sympathizing with the concerns and desperation of society.
Don't allow yourself to be drawn in to their hatred.
God loves. He walks with us through dark times, and leads us towards better days. It's more difficult to sense the presence of our good Lord during difficult times, and it is a test of our faith to believe He is near with His caring, loving, embrace.
Keep positive, live your life positively, avoid alcohol and other addictions that can only keep you down.
When someone speaks with hatred, don't listen. Search instead for someone speaking the words of hope. Because our good Lord is the definition of Love and Hope.

Don't Allow Negativity To Con You,
We all have opinions about the negativity that is happening in our world.
It can be easy for someone to turn your opinions against you.
Live your life with love, not hate. Stay away from those who spread hatred, who build hate up inside of you, and lead you away from true peace.

Don't worry about tomorrow, you might miss today.
So many people just miss living because they don't appreciate what they already have.
It is as if someone has a diamond dangling as bait, and those who catch sight of it can seemingly never look away. As if trapped on a treadmill, these entranced people run after the diamond to claim it for their own. But they can't, because the diamond is an illusion.
Look away from that diamond, take a pause, look at the real valuables that you already have.
Make a list, what are your real life blessings. Your health? Your family's health? Do you have a roof over your head? A good job'(s)? Are you living a respectable life? Do you have food in your kitchen? A standard savings account???? Even one from this list is more than some people have.

We hope everyone had a peaceful Father's Day weekend.
For you fathers out there, the ones who might not be the best at being dads, look at the state of your community right now.
While parents cannot be blamed for the actions of their adult children, one has to wonder about how many of the younger generation who have gone in the wrong direction because there was a lack of a caring, protective, and involved dad in their life.
Step up, all you absent fathers, grandfathers, uncles, and male-guardians/mentors. It's your time to show you can make a difference in the lives of the next generation. Let next Father's Day be a day of achievement.
Let us pray a prayer of thanks to St. Joseph, who kept the Blessed Mother and child Jesus safe by being a caring, protective, and involved father.

Debt, Debt, and MORE Debt!!!!
Sad to hear, and sad to say...
This last week, it was shocking to hear on the news how so many, so many, are in debt. This, 2020 to present, pandemic really took a toll on those who were unable to work.
Going into debt is the easiest thing to do, and these days it seems a requirement to live in these modern times.
Getting out of debt is going to be difficult, time consuming, and a tedious thing to try. It can be done, with patience, the willingness to only spend on necessities, and to walk away from purchases, places, and services that require a credit card.
You can do it, you can pay off your debt. It has been done. I've seen it done. It may take you five years, it may take you twelve...if you make it your goal and stick to it, you can find your way towards debt freedom.

Positive Reading,
There are truly gifted storytellers, people who know how to speak and write in a way that makes their audience/readers think, reconsider, reimagine, inspire, and possibly even understand the previously misunderstood.
We need storytellers, we need journalists, we need the freedom to tell stories and share happenings.
We also need to be careful about who we listen to, and what we read (with fact-checking and researching).
While many speakers and writers are speaking with truths and positive vibes, there are just as many who might be speaking and writing lies and spreading negativity.
While caution is always a good road to follow, hate can never lead to anywhere worthwhile.
Some inspire hate sneakily by speaking and writing carefully, knitting viewpoints into their content that trigger negative actions from their audience and readers.
Read and listen with freedom, but do weigh everything against accuracy. Fact-check, research, and truly think about any feelings of negativity that are felt after reading an article/book or hearing a speech.
If you find that the feelings of negativities are justified, then don't act out with anger... instead, find peaceful ways to make positive changes.

Time After Time After Time!
Why is it, that we teach our children to get along, to share, and to not fight...yet, our children hear or see and want to know why adults don't know how to get along, to share, or to not fight?
Our kids go to school, and are taught to get along, to share, and to not fight. In today's times, they have a fear about adults coming into schools to harm them.
We teach our children not to steal, vandalize, or harm others, yet they see so-called adults robbing/looting stores, harming others, and starting senseless wars.
Then these children grow up and repeat the evils of what they witnessed as innocent children.
When is the cycle going to stop?

Life Is Precious,
With all the chaos these days, have you taken a time out to relax?
Take a walk so you can smell the flowers in your neighborhood, and enjoy the landscapes of greenery. Or if you're lucky enough to have a garden, take advantage and make time to sit out to enjoy the aroma, watch the butterflies fly by, and listen to the sound of the birds of your garden. It may help you to put away your troubles for awhile and to be able to relax.

Mothers, God Greatest Gift To His Children,
We hope you all had a peaceful and relaxing Mother's Day weekend.
Now, like with Earth Day, we challenge for all children to show their mothers that they care 365 days a year. We don't mean gifts or greeting cards everyday, but perhaps phone calls, visits, and weekend outings. Even if it is time spent once a week or month, give your mom the gift of time as often as you can throughout the year.
Grownup children have their own lives to live, their own schedules that are filled with work, relationships, significant others, children, and personal time. Chaotic schedules that often leave out parents and siblings.
Make the effort to make time for your mother in your schedule, one day, you'll back upon that time and be glad you did.
Also, let us pray to our heavenly Blessed Mother. Thank our Holly Mary everyday, for bringing her son into our lives.
One more suggestion, be good to the good Mother Earth. We live our lives upon her, she sustains and is nourishing, her love and patience must be understood as one of our Gods gifts to his children.

Hate,
Why so much hate? So much hate and violence!
Why can't people control their hate, and stop the violence.
Prayers, so many prayers for people to understand that we all feel...we all laugh and feel joy, we all care for the well-being of and want what is best for those we love, we all cry in the face of sadness.
So many people are confusing stress and anxiety for hate. So many looking for someone or a group to blame for these struggling times we all find ourselves experiencing.
Stop the hate, stop the blaming, and search for a ways to work with your community to focus on peace and healing.
Stop the hate.

Belittling,
Don't let family, friends, coworkers, mentors...etc. belittle you.
When someone belittles you, it may be out of jealousy, it may be to keep you at or below their level, it could even be a controlling thing.
When someone belittles you, don't take it seriously. Continue to succeed no matter what anyone says. As long as you're not breaking the law, or hurting anyone, you can succeed at whatever you want in life.
Just remember, don't hurt those around you just so you could succeed. And never be ashamed of where you come from.
Follow your dreams.

Back 2 Old School,
With the high cost of everything...rent, gas, food, etc.
We might as well go backwards and start baking and cooking from scratch. The cost seems lower and you are getting more for your labor and expenses.
Way back when, it was how life was to survive. You don't need all those fancy appliances to make your own homemade bread, pasta, canned goods. Anything that was grown, cooked, baked, prepared, can still be done today.
You just need to set time aside and have patients. Just like you set aside time for laundry, house cleaning, and other chores...you just need to learn to incorporate old fashioned food prep into your schedule.

Teachers,
There are teachers who teach you protest peacefully, for what you believe in, and to keep your freedoms to speak. Yet, there are also some teachers who teach you to protest with hate and violence.
Listen to your heart and mind, and you will know to follow the teacher who teaches to protest in peace.
We need the hate and violence to stop. Be the good hearted person, and walk in peace. Don't listen to the hate, see with your eyes, listen for the right words for a peaceful protest, feel for the right path to protest.

Canning!
Why not give canning your own fruit and vegetables a try?
At one time, most households canned what veggies or fruit they could get ahold of or could grow in their own gardens.
Research online about how-to can your own fruit and vegetables.
One way to stock up...just don't forget to date and label your canning goods.

The Need For Gardens,
Sad to say, that prices are going to be high and availability is going to be limited for 2023.
Mother Nature was just a little bit too generous this season with replenishing us with water.
For those of you on a shoe string budget, you may want to do the research and start your own garden with your favorite vegetables and fruits.
If you don't have a yard, use your patio or porch and container garden. Just be sure your chosen containers are safe to use and have proper drainage.
You may find gardening fun and relaxing. Research online about how-to, and try to avoid water-thirsty plants.
Those of you who can afford to purchase directly from the stores/farmers markets, thank you for supporting the needed farmers.

Mother Nature's Rage!
Thank you Mother Nature for the much needed water. We pray for Mother Nature to calm her rage. We pray for those trapped in snow and floods, to receive help. We apologize to Mother Nature for not protecting her Earth. We pray for the people to understand Mother Nature's rage, and to realize that it is time to protect her Earth, which God created and we are disrespecting.

Faith!
Faith is something we all need to have and believe in. With all the illnesses, the wars, the hate, the homeless, the greed...etc. we need to start believing and praying to help all of these people.
All you hear about is the bad in people, when there is a lot of good out there. Evil seems to only allow us to see and focus on the bad, not the good so that we can give up hope.
Don't give up hope, there are good people out there.

Look around, see how sad it is out there not only across the world...but right in your own community.
Be thankful you're not as bad off.
Each day, concentrate on one of the people, food, pets, necessities, or luxuries you have and take for granted. Be thankful and thank God that these blessings are a part of your life.
Concentrate on these blessings when you become frustrated with the little annoyances that sometimes seem to add up into multiples to strike all at one time.
Concentrate on these blessings and have kindness with those in your community who may not have all the blessings that you have.
Concentrate on your blessings to keep you afloat during all the problems that are sweeping across your community and the world.

The land is being renewed, one of the signs of the cycle of life. A chance to take advantage of it, and grow that garden you've always dream about.
Whether it is edible or flowers, enjoy that fresh new garden.
For those of you who have trees, enjoy the singing/sounds of the newborn birds and critters. It is the cycle of nature...enjoy God's gifts. Do not let it pass you by without noticing God's creativeness.

Famine In Disguise?
Famine comes in different forms. A big percentage of the world is living in famine.
We are all slaves without realizing...to credit debt, to the unnecessary wants.
We all want what we don't have and buy it even if we can't afford it, which makes us slaves. We must clock in at a certain time, and clock out at a certain time. No freedom for ourselves because there are bills to be paid.
Turn around and your child is five, going into kindergarten. Turn around again and your child is graduating from high school. You wonder where time has gone because you have been a slave to the clock, scheduled by your debt that added up due to all the unnecessary stuff you could have lived without.
Rethink about getting yourself into unnecessary debt. Work towards no debt.

You are stronger.

Holiday Gatherings,
So many people look forward to the holidays, only to experience negativity instead of fun times during gatherings of family and/or friends.
Why is it that some gatherings just cannot be fun and peaceful. There always seems to be that one negative person who seems determined to bring disruption and disputes to the good times.
This person responds negative to positivity. They seem to pick, and pick, until they influence a fight. They bring down the mood of those who came together for fun and laughter.
Don't let these kind of people bring you down. Stay positive and keep positive in your life.

Labor of Love, Gift Giving!
Sometimes the most simple things in life are the most important.
For those of you, which is quite a few, who are short on funds may want to think about your gift giving. Something handmade...even a handmade greeting card with an note of promise written within, like cook a meal, wash a car, babysitting for an afternoon or an evening, etc.
Your labor of love is a value worth more.

Drinking Alcohol Does Not Solve The Negativity In Your Life.
Why do people feel that they have to drink until they fall to the floor? Why do they feel like they need to drink until they forget the negativity in their life?
I know of this one person who lost the love of his life, and he went into deep drinking. Had a fall, ended up in recovery for a few months. Came out of recovery, and nearly lost his home etc.
Then there is this other person, who lived by himself. He pushed his family away, because no one wanted to visit him due to his attitude while drinking. He ended up alone, had an accident, and hospitalized.
Why don't people with mental anguish find a place to go, where they can talk with someone. Get involved with a church, or discover a hobby, or volunteer for good, etc.
Life is hard, drinking makes life even more difficult????
Think twice this holiday season before you over drink. Think about your family and friends, don't let alcohol ruin what should be good times.

The Tale Of Two Stories!
Have you ever been told a story that, to you, didn't seem right? So you decided not to pass along this story.
So, a little time passes, and another person tells you the same story in a different way...and this time you like the way it was told. You still don't pass along the story because you're unsure about which version is correct.
Now, you do your research and learn that the second version of the story is the true story. And now you feel comfortable about sharing the second version of the story knowing that it is the truth.
Soooo...be cautious about passing rumors without first researching for the truth. And make sure your research stems from more than one source.

Do Not Lose Hope!!!!
Life today should be so much easier with all the knowledge we didn't have in the mid-1900s, yet it seems like we are going backwards.
Don't give up hope. It may be all that you have, hope. If going backwards is something we have to do to succeed, then do so.
You can try to save on the high cost of food by starting to make what you can at home...bread, cookies, etc. We have heard how people are saving by going back to basic cooking and baking, and staying away from pre-made, processed foods.
You can do research on how-to make your own basic foods, fix simple DIY projects at home, making your own items...like pillowcases and possibly even your own clothing.
Have Hope to succeed with less funds, and enjoy your new projects.

Try to avoid credit charging. Remember, for those of you who are buying gifts for Christmas...it is Baby Jesus' birthday that you are celebrating. Jesus would not want you to struggle in debt.
Try buying sale items, affordable gifts, upcycling, or regifting. Remember, there are those around the world who are suffering. Beware, and do your research if you're donating to help.

Everyone loses a loved one at one time or another. People understand when someone loses a loved one, that the person needs time to cope with the tragedy.
People need to have the same understanding with someone who has lost their Pet Companion. Especially for someone who doesn't have children, their pet becomes like their child.
Be understanding that they've lost more than a Pet Companion.
Have you cuddled your Pet Companion today?

Music,
Have you ever tried spending one weekend, one day, or even just a few hours doing nothing but listening to music?
Whether you do this once or twice a month, every other month, or twice a year, you should give this a try to see what music can do for your mind and body.
It is so relaxing. Something we all need, relaxation.
Find your favorite music, and give it a try.
This might not work for everybody, yet why not try gifting yourself peace of mind.

If It's Meant For You To Have...
You know that saying, "If it's meant for you to have, then it will be there when you return to purchase that item." ????
It is difficult to save up for an item when it seems items are not kept in stock for long. Especially these days when less products seem to be available in large quantities.
This makes shoppers want to purchase immediately. If a shopper doesn't have the funds at the moment they want an item, then it means that a credit card is going to save the day.
It may feel like that, like a credit card offers you magic money when you need funds...over and again. That magic feeling may turn to dread once the bills and interest begin to compile.
Instead, maybe you should consider saving up for the item you want. If the product is no longer available once you have saved up enough, then maybe search for a similar item. Or perhaps you can keep the money saved for when you spot something else, except this time you will not have to wait because you already have the funds saved in a no risk savings account.

Fresh Eggs Anyone?
Have you ever considered purchasing one hen to give it a try, and seeing if you like having fresh eggs from your own backyard?
You can purchase or built a small chicken coop, something that will keep your hen safe.
If your location allows it, why not give it a try?
Research and study the pros and cons of keeping chickens.
Don't overspend by going big! Start small, to see if you will be able to handle caring for the one hen.
If it doesn't work out for you, find someone who you can gift the one hen and chicken coop to for birthday or Christmas.
If you enjoyed caring for the one hen, add another hen so the one has a roommate.
One way to know where your eggs come from.
Enjoy your eggs.

You can purchase or built a small chicken coop, something that will keep your hen safe.
If your location allows it, why not give it a try?
Research and study the pros and cons of keeping chickens.
Don't overspend by going big! Start small, to see if you will be able to handle caring for the one hen.
If it doesn't work out for you, find someone who you can gift the one hen and chicken coop to for birthday or Christmas.
If you enjoyed caring for the one hen, add another hen so the one has a roommate.
One way to know where your eggs come from.
Enjoy your eggs.

Christmas In July!!
With the shortages and trade uncertainties, perhaps it is wise to start looking early for those Christmas gifts.
We are already two weeks into July, and there are two weeks remaining.
If you start now, you may be able to find gifts that are on sale and in stock.
Try to avoid electronics and battery-gifts this early unless you can open them to check if they are in working condition.
Also try to not buy on credit, along with the buy-now-pay-later temptations. This is not like free money, and a little debt here and there add up fast when the bills start rolling in...not to mention the interest on each of those bills.
Between now and December, if you buy one or two gifts a month, you may not feel the extra expenses if you start your Christmas gift shopping early.

Family!
With mask requirements possibly returning soon to some if not all areas...why won't more people consider wearing their masks until the threat of the pandemic is truly over. Not only less of a threat, but truly ended...whether it is this year 2022 or next year 2023.
Vaccinated or not, masking seems to be the easiest way to protect ourselves and others.
The people we love may be in danger...in danger of catching a virus that may kill them. What are you willing to do to protect them? Does wearing a mask really seem all that much of a nusance when you weigh it in this way?
Just an idea.

Life Lived,
Have you ever thought about why you're here on Earth? What led you to your destiny?
Whether you did a good deed or not, you are here for a reason. You may have given that one good word to help that person succeed. Or you may have spoken that one good word that kept that person from going down the wrong path.
Every one on Earth is here for a good reason. So never think negative about yourself. Think positive about yourself. And keep using good words to help others find their destiny.

Seeds Of Survival,
Time to start making deposits into a different kind of savings bank...an organic seed bank.
Learning to grow your own food, perhaps even learning how to safely keep chickens, ducks, etc. Learning how to stock your own food pantry.
Having and building up a bank savings account is good to have for emergencies, however, funds cannot buy food and necessities if they are not available at your local grocery store.
Think about starting your own seed bank in the corner of your home: your closet, your pantry, your garage, etc.

What Are The Little Things In Life?
While life goes by, you may not realize that the little things in life are the moments that will fulfill your heart later in life.
You don't need to spend or go out of your way to make memories. Memories can be created in your own backyard, with or without family members and/or friends.
I know this little family, that planned a family picnic for three. The day of the picnic, it rained. So the mother set up the picnic on the living room floor, with blanket and picnic basket. A simple memory that is never forgotten.
The Little Things In Life May Be The Biggest Things You Remember.

Gardening With Water Restrictions!?
You can still garden, and water by only planting vegetables that don't require a lot of water. Like during fall to spring gardening, when temperatures are cooler.
You can try to catch the water before your shower each day, the water you release and let run until it gets warm. Normally, you let that go down the drain... instead, try to catch that water. Just check your local laws to be sure this is allowed (sad to say, some areas may not allow you to capture water in this way).
While it is not easy to find right now, try to pick up rain barrels for when the rains do return. Read instructions about how to properly install and use the waters captured for your garden.
Get creative and come up with ideas. Even before the restrictions, we proudly drove a dusty car to save water for our garden of plants.

This weekend, we Americans honor the memory of those who died in service to our country. Memorial Day, what words can we say that express our gratitude to our fallen heroes and their families? How sad they must be to know the craziness that is happening across America.
We pray for the children of Uvalde Texas, and the two adults who were killed in the school shooting. We pray for the victims and their families.
This Memorial day, stop and consider the sacrifices that the men and women is our U.S. armed forces make for our freedoms. Let us work together towards peace, to make those sacrifices worth it.

Walk A Mile In My Shoes...
Those famous words. Have you ever wondered how it would be to really walk a mile in someone else shoes? To discover why they chose a certain path?
You should never literally want to walk in someone else shoes to understand them. Instead of trying to walk in another person's shoes, perhaps you should try to understand their story and not condemn their choices and lifestyle.
There are a lot of people out there who come out of an abusive lifestyle...whether it was from an alcoholic, and/or an addict, and/or an abusive parent, guardian, or partner.
Have patience and understanding for those who live a different lifestyle. They just might be survivors who have found a way of life that works for them.

Have You Thanked God For The Life You Live?
Whether you're rich or poor, thank God for your health and safety.
Even with the little chaos that comes and goes in your life, like not being able to pass that smog check, or having plumbing problems, etc... consider how small those problems are, and how they come and go.
We ask for prayers for those who have lost their homes and loved ones because of wars around the world. For those who lost loved ones due to senseless gun violence because of hate. For those who lost everything in a wildfire or storm.
Think about what all these people have lost in their lives, and weigh it against the little chaos in your life. Be thankful.

Freedom of Choice,
We, the Ministers at, A Cup of Coffee God Vision Ministry are Americans and are descendents of Americans, we are females, we are Catholic. We not believe in abortions...for ourselves. We feel saddened when we hear about an abortion. Yet we believe that every woman has the right to make that choice for herself.
Every female should have the freedom to decide for herself. Hopefully God would guide her to give new life to the world. Yet that decision is hers to make.
God gave doctors the knowledge necessary to offer the safest, securest procedures to females, to save women from the dangers of back ally clinics, or deadly desperate risks.
We pray for freedom and peace for all.

The Evil That Men Do!!!!!
Why is it that men have to fell in control of everything? They do not feel important unless they have title and power.
Women have come a long ways in history, and now men are trying to take what women have fought for and won.
Why can't men just live in peace and stop destroying freedoms? They only become hated, disliked, and disrespected by the majority of all genders.
I believe that it is all just fear, men have insecurities and feel they they have to be in control of something, their partners, their kids, their coworkers...etc.
We need to teach our male children that they do not need to seek power, that peace is more important than power and status.

Fake Sparkling Diamonds!
This is a story about Pat and Jan.
Pat and Jan only knew each other for a few years, and would only see one another now and again.
One of the times when going over to see Jan, Pat wore a new necklace and earring set she had just purchased. They had a setting of a gem upon gold. It wasn't until returning home, when Pat realized that Jan had not mentioned her new jewelry.
A few months later, when Pat and Jan visited again, Jan pointed to her own ears and said, "Look at my new earrings." Jan went on to explain that she already had the necklace, and wanted the matching earrings after seeing Pat's set. Jan highlighted the fact that the earrings had cost triple digits, which was more than her house payment.
Now, this was many years ago, at a time when triple digits was an extravagant amount of money to be spending on jewelry.
Pat smiled and complemented Jan's jewelry. "I hadn't realized you noticed my new jewelry," Pat said, yet did not have the heart to mention that, while her own set was real gold, it was not real diamonds and had only cost around $30 for the three piece set, which was on sale.
The moral of this story is to not keep up with the Jones. There are people who know how to save when they shop, and if you're too focused on trying to keep up appearances, you're likely not paying attention to how much you are spending.

Is Your Retirement Funds Growing?
I know this couple, the husband was in control of his 401k. He invested 5% of his pay because the company he worked for matched his investment by up to 5%.
The husband began his investment with $18,000.
The wife was upset each time the quarterly statement came in. She asked him to move his account into a no risk.
For a few years, this couple argued about this, yet the husband wouldn't listen. Unable to do anything about it, she watched 5% of her husband's pay go into his invested 401k account, which was matched by his employer. Yet, there was no gain, and the original $18,000 invested was decreasing.
Finally, with just $14,000 remaining, the wife convinced her husband to secure the funds into a no risk account.
With his 5% and his employer's 5%, the husband finally saw the account growing.
The moral of this story, is to be cautious about what type of retirement savings account you choose.

Spring Cleaning Time!
I think cleaning should be all year round after this pandemic we all just went through.
Dust really collects on top, behind, and under things.
There are people who clean weekly, yet, once spring comes they are still shocked to discover that the dust bunnies have multiplied in the hard to get to places.
On the list for our Lent items this year, we added extra vacuuming and dusting to see if we can keep it going throughout the year.
Just a thought for those of you who do the deep cleaning only for spring, maybe instead try to do that extra bit of cleaning every couple of months...or even every ninety days.
Let us continue our prayers for the war in Ukraine to end.

Prices Sky High,
At this time, one might need to learn to understand why prices are so high. With the high price of gas, which is needed to deliver the goods, we, the consumers will have to pay the raising prices.
We were surprised by prices when we went shopping, almost impossible to believe.
We suggest to buy only what you really need, what you can afford, and try not to purchase on credit. Save up for the things that can wait to be bought later.
Pray for peace, pray for healing. Pray for Ukraine. Be thankful that we are able to go shopping for our needs.

The people against price hiking.
How can people get ahead when everytime they get a raise, prices go up? Rent, auto, food, etc all goes up in price...
Just to have food and a roof over your head, you literally have to be a slave to survive.
This is so sad for the children of the world. Our children should not be living out in the street and going without a meal.
All because of greed.

Have you thought, even in the smallest place, to add extra bedding hidden away? For those family and friends in need of a place to sleep because of a disaster that struck them. Even if you're living in a small square footage house, they make loveseats, chairs, coffee tables, and even ottomans that transform into beds.
I know this family who furnished their small living room, they can convert their furniture into beds to sleep six for if they receive that 911 call.
There's another family who dedicated a closet to blow-up beds, cots, extra blankets, and pillows, etc.
You may want to consider, the way this crazy world is going, to not only prepare your house with emergency food and supplies, but also with extra sleeping arrangements.
Just a thought.

Mad Days During Mad Times,
Somethings we become mad and annoyed as easy as a flip of a switch. Many times, this anger is fueled by simple things.
There is a lot going on in our world right now, with everything that is happening globally; the pandemic, the disasters, the environmental stress, the threat of war, the crime waves, etc...with all this going on in our crazy world right now, why do we allow ourselves to become worked up about simple things?
Those simple things may not feel simple to our daily lives when something does annoy us. However, when we weigh if we and those we love are well and safe in that moment... perhaps we should reconsider our feelings in that moment.
If you feel anger creeping up on you, maybe you should take a step back and take a deep breath. Pray for God to calm your anger, and ask yourself if it is really important to be mad at that moment.
Help God calm some of the craziness in the world. Trust in God, and be the calm for your family and friends while we all weather this global storm.

Freedom or Prisoner to Credit!
We have been brainwashed to build our lives on the foundation of credit. That our worth depends on our credit score.
How deeply in debt are you? Do you feel too deeply in debt to ever pay off what you owe? Then you may be a prisoner to your credit?
It may seem like your debt is too great to ever pay off, but maybe it only takes a change in your lifestyle.
I know of this family who played the game to keep their good credit rating. Because that is all it is, a game to keep a credit score. When they realized that they were prisoners to their debt, they decided to pay off all their debt. It took time, but they did it.
When they retired, they retired with only a house payment.
They realized that they had no credit score, so what was the purpose of being a prisoner of debt for years when they couldn't take their good credit rating with them into retirement just because they paid off all their debt in good standing..
They did not want to be like their friends, taking their debt into retirement. They came to realize, that their past debt was all just a game to support the 1% with interest.
They feel Peace and freedom.
Work for that freedom, you can do it.

The Mind Is A Beautiful Thing!!!!
People seem to be rediscovering themselves, and deciding what is truly important to them and their family. People are searching for jobs that fit their lifestyles, and looking employers who are flexible.
I hope that people will truly find a way to be less stressed and discover a new path that leads to a more rewarding life for oneself and as a family unit.
I just hope people remember to save funds whenever they can, even if it is a small amount every month. That small amount should add up at the end of each year. Pay your taxes, and other bills. Try to pay off credit cards, and any loans. Learn to live on cash, learn to save up for the things you want.
It is easy to get into debt and become stuck with a job you don't like.
It will take time and devotion to the goal of becoming debt free and living a more self rewarding life. Tell yourself, "you know you can do it."

The Holiday's Are Here!!
Let us pray for all those who did not make it to celebrate the Holidays with you this year. They will always be in your hearts. We all want to gift our loved ones and friends with something they want and will adore. Yet the prices of items this year are sky high. The future seems still foggy with all that is happening in our small world. Considering your budget this year may not only be playing it smart, it may be absolutely necessary. Here are some tips for you to consider: Make your gift list on a realistic gift budget. Divide your budget by each person to give yourself a maximum limit price you can afford for each gift. Try not to buy any items that are over-priced. Until the world is somewhat back to normal, some things will not be easy to obtain (back ordered) nor priced reasonably affordable do to parts shortages. Try to purchase items that are reasonably priced and within your budget. Try to buy things locally (safely using health precautions), of items that are in-stock at your local stores (which can maybe be delivered by those stores). Perhaps make your gifts. If you need some ideas for recycling and/or upcycling there are some crafting ideas on our website here: acupofcoffeewithgod.weebly.com/craft-and-art-ideas. You can also find other ideas by searching the WWW. This year, keep focused on the fact that we are survivors of a pandemic (a virus that is still making its rounds around the globe), and that the survival of our family and friends are a gift all itself. For those of us who practice the religion of Christianity, the true meaning of Christmas, the birth of Baby Jesus should also be strengthened within each of us. Gift this year with your heart, and stay within your budget. Research whatever programs or services that you decide to make donations to. God Loves All His Children. |

Jobs Security,
How dependable are jobs in today's time? Once upon a time, a person could seek employment, and when they were hired by a company, they could remain with that employer until retirement age. Now, that seems unlikely in just about any field of work. How secure is your job? Have you been transferred to another location (e.g. had to move to another town or state)? Did you want to transfer or did you feel that it was the only way to remain employed with the same company? Have you needed to jump from job to job even though you have done each job well? The obligation of rent and healthcare seem to be the main bait held over a worker's head to keep them working. Another concern would be your pension, if you managed to keep employment with one company for a number of years, your pension could suddenly be at risk if your job is suddenly jeopardized. If laws would be created to control the high costs of rent, healthcare, and place greater protections on such things as pensions and tenure there would be less stress on both workers and their employers. Until that happens, what you need to consider is how much funds you can save from your paycheck. And consider a game plan for what you can do if your employment is suddenly gone, or if your job situation somehow changes. Try having a plan B, C, and even a plan D. Revisit these plans at least yearly to keep them updated and realistic. Always keep a positive prospective. God will help you find a way as you walk your life's path. God Loves All His Children. |

Are You Following The Right Path?
No one really knows what their right path is! This is why, you need to try different paths, so you can find your right path. Whether you are looking for a religious path, a working field path, or a relationship path. Only you can feel what is right for you. When you feel you're on the right path, make sure you are not being lead by anyone other than your own self. It is easy to be led astray by illusion. How then, do you know you are on the right path? Only you can answer this question. Live good, do good, search for inspiration. You also may have responsibilities that keep you from walking the path you wish to be on. Responsibilities are important and should not be ignored. Perhaps you can zigzag along two paths, and make the time to walk in the direction that you need to be going towards. Don't abandon your responsibilities, it may come back and throw you off your chosen path. You can have both if you work at it. God Loves All His Children. |

Fall Gardening,
For those of you who may have little to no yard (perhaps only a small porch and/or balcony), it may feel like you have no options to create your own garden. Research your area, there are many plants that do well in containers and small pottery. There are many plants that grow well in the season of fall, you may even discover some indoor plants that will flourish beside a window. When planning your garden, search for the plants that are edible. Consider your garden an extension of your kitchen pantry, and keep that in mind when you shop for your plants. For those of you who have a critter problem, you may want to consider a green house. There are many different sizes and types to choose from. Research which might be the right choice and size for your gardening needs. God Loves All His Children. |

Prepare your gardens, so you can plant right when you bring home your new plants. Do your research for your area the care needed for each of the plants you have chosen. Research for your area before you purchase any plants. For us, Gardening calms the mind. God Loves All His Children. |

Why Tax Seniors?
Many people save for their retirement in a before tax account, which means that taxes must be paid when the time comes to cash out their retirement savings. The taxes may be based on calculations made at the time the retirement savings is cashed out, and the taxes may not be based on the time when the retirement savings account was opened. Would it not be wise to open an after tax retirement savings? This way, the taxes are paid and whatever saved is what you should receive at retirement. With time, taxes are usually raised not lowered. By opening an after tax retirement savings and paying the present-day tax rate, you should be able to watch your retirement savings grow in real-time. No tax reductions to worry about later. Of course, there are other things you will have to consider. One of which, is if you have chosen a secure retirement savings and not one that could lose funds. People complain about secure retirement savings because it grows slowly. When you really consider it...it may grow slowly, yet it should not reduce quickly. An old-fashioned, secure retirement savings shouldn't reduce at all, just be cautious with any bank fees and your own withdrawal fees. Some banks have limited withdrawal fees. Be sure that your chosen bank are FDIC insured (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Now, pay your home and home and income taxes. Paying your taxes is good in helping your community and country continue forward. At the end of the day, a dollar bill is still worth a dollar...it may not purchase as much as it once had (many, many years back), yet it is the world that has become pricey, the American dollar bill has not lost its value.

Prayers
Prayers for those who live near the La Palma volcano in Spain. Let us pray that they find safety and the assistance needed to rebuild their homes and lives. Let us pray for the immigrants all around the world, that each one of them will find a peaceful place to call home. Sometimes, God uplifts us and drifts us to a new place because there is work that he wants us to do. But be sure to listen carefully, because sometimes we must remain where we are to make changes right at home. We must decide if leaving our homeland is based on fear, or exhaustion, and we must decide if we have the faith to stand where God originally planted us and struggle to make the changes at home. All of God's children matter. God Loves All His Children. |

Fame and Success!
There are some, who have discovered fame, in large or small ways. And sometimes, when that success is lost or is reduced, there are some people who cannot handle not being in the spotlight. Having popularity or important status can become something that continually preoccupies a persons mind. It can become something like greed, the need for attention, the need for more spotlight, to remain a celebrity, and retain the stardom that may have earned a generous income. Yet that income could suddenly becomes depleted if a person repeatedly invests in future hopes that are fruitless. When and if fame/success comes, enjoy it. Save any extra funds that it may bring into your savings accounts. Spend wisely, and research and double research any investments you may decide to make. That is the same for when donating funds, do your research. Plan ahead, decide what you might do if and when that success has become lost or reduced. Perhaps take on a hobby that you can take to a new, serious level if it becomes clear to you that the success-game is nearly over. While success is fragile, understanding it as a possibly short-term experience to be enjoyed and lived while it is present in our lives, it can also help us prepare for if and when fame/success is lost or is reduced. If and when that happens, it is not always about you. It can feel cruel. Your ability to juggle that transition is your true success. After all, it could be a sign that God needs you on another life-path. God Loves All His Children. |

Be Truthful,
There is this couple who have a mini motor-home. They had their motor-home awhile but had yet put many miles onto it when they drove their RV to a mechanic for a routine checkup. The wife watched her husband speak with the mechanic while they waited for their motor-home. The mechanic asked if the couple had been anywhere interesting in their RV, the husband told him they had visited many places. Along the coast, and sightseeing all over their state's map. While she said nothing, the wife listened to the lies as she watched the mechanic look at her husband with a peculiar smile. She, unlike her husband, realized that the mechanic was servicing their little motor-home and knew how little miles it had on their odometer, which would not meet a fraction of the miles the husband had claimed they had traveled. An easy way to not be caught in lies, is to be and live truthful. God Loves All His Children. |

The Tomorrows of Your Dreams,
There are many who are waiting for their lives to become interesting, waiting for success, waiting for the chance to live their lives the way they dream. Sometimes there are real circumstances that keep us from living our lives the way we wish, like this world-wide pandemic. It is important to understand, that we each are the author of our own lives. We write the page of each day we live, and only we can edit our days to put in motion what we hope tomorrow will be. To form your tomorrow, we must begin today. Make the time to write the future of your "good-natured" dreams. God Loves All Your Children. |

Cherished Items,
Sometimes, there are those of us who are lucky to be able to hang onto the items that have been in our lives a long while and have helped build good times and memories with these items (or among these items). Sometimes we can't (for one reason or another), keep those items in our personal collection. We let them go, and hope they find a good home. When you receive a used gift, or find something at a second-hand shop, those items once belonged to someone else, to someone we might have known or perhaps a stranger. They meant something to someone, and they have a history. Be honored that they have come into your collection, and take good care to continue caring for the items that truly represent memories. Maybe, later in time, being able to find a new home for that item. Someone who will care for it and respect its memories. God Loves All His Children. |

Grown Up Children,
Just because your child or children have grown up, why push them out the door? It is not easy these days for a teenager to become an adult. college starts young adults on a future of being (consistently) in debt, and apartments are not only expensive but almost impossible to meet the rental application requirements. As long as your adult child is not out partying, abusing drugs and alcohol, uttering offensive words, physically and/or verbally abusive. Worrying you by staying out all hours of the night, or days/weeks, without notifying you that they are alright. Threatening your well being, or perhaps bringing home friends who are questionable. If you can balance a parental relationship with your grownup child or children, an adult who helps out, and lives sensibly, then why push them out the door. It is important that a parent realizes that their children are grownup, with their own viewpoints, style, and outside connections. And it is important that a grownup children realizes that their parent'(s) also have their own viewpoints, styles, and outside connections. If you and your adult child and/or children can maintain a healthy harmony, remind them that they are welcome to remain at home. Sometimes, they need to hear this in order to know they have that option while planning their future. Love and hug that child of yours, no matter their age. God Loves All His Children. |

Build A House Of Brick,
What to do when it seems your siblings care more about the lies they have told than about keeping in touch with you, their family. It is like they write fictional scripts to live pretend lives, and surround themselves with strangers so that no one can fact-check their scripts and correct the untruths. While sometimes there are legitimate reasons for selected individuals to be pushed from our lives. I've seen many people who treat their family members and old, childhood friends like enemies just because they have set up a life built on lies. These people push away family for no truly good reason and replace them with strangers. They only allow people in their life who cannot challenge them. I see this often among siblings. What these people don't realize is that when you build a life on the foundation of lies, it holds a home that is made of cardboard instead of brick. God Loves All His Children. |

Time To (Responsibly) Stock-Up Again!
Have you learned to keep your pantries and necessities well stocked? Have you been rotating to ensure nothing becomes outdated? Don't forget your animal companions. You never know if and when there will be another shortage. Please don't panic and leave little to nothing on the store shelves. Your neighbors will also be in need. Have you learned to be more cautious? And to stay closer to home? We know this older couple, who couldn't understand why people find it so difficult to simply wear masks, not to travel (to reduce the chance of spreading the virus), and keeping separated from people outside your bubble. Until recently, someone knocked on their door and they discovered their niece and nephew on their front porch (traveling on vacation). Of course, they welcomed them inside their home, and while this older couple wore their masks and kept a distance, their niece and nephew didn't believe in masks and took zero precautions. It is easy to fall into social traps such as these. In this story, the older couple were excited to see their family. They did not want to turn away their guests in the dark of night. The niece and nephew had put their aunt and uncle in danger because they didn't care to take simple precautions, therefore risked the lives of their elders. It is easy to fall into social traps. Be cautious. If something like this happens to you, open windows, wear your masks, and keep your six-foot distance. You're not doing anything wrong, you are taking precautions and protecting your life. God Loves All His Children. |

4th of July,
The 4th of July is coming up, a holiday that most of us in America will be celebrating with delight and pride. We pray that the worst of the global pandemic is behind us all, and we look forward to the future of our U.S.A. with hope and enthusiasm. Celebrate your Freedom with caution and care. We are still struggling to end the global pandemic, and with the new virus strain going around, everyone needs to keep safe and respect others safety by considering the health of our family members and neighbors. Reports on the news have indicated that the new strain may be more contagious whether or not you've had the vaccine. Whether or not you believe in the vaccine, please still be cautious and keep the health guidelines in practice. Don't live in fear, we are simply suggesting that when you continue to protect yourself, you protect your family members, your friends, your neighbors, you also help health officials. Continue to have patience. Celebrate your Freedom by being safe and helping to ensure that we put this global pandemic behind us all. God Loves All His Children. |

Garden Planning,
For those of you who live here in Southern California and didn't find the chance to plant your February potatoes (for a Spring harvest), did you know that you may have a second planting chance during August? This should give you a late autumn or early winter harvest. You can research for the precise planting times for your area. Consider the many recipes for your homegrown potatoes: steamed, mashed, stuffed, baked, french fries, scalloped potatoes, potato-salad, etc. Enjoy your Potatoes, one of many of God's creation!!!!

Growing Up Poor,
There is nothing wrong with living payday to payday. Having only home and transportation debt makes it easier to live payday to payday. It is having unnecessary debt that makes it difficult to live payday to payday. I know this person who grew up poor, who recalls the good old days of living payday to payday. She remembers her mother sitting at the table while going over monthly expenses, which was only rent and utilities. Having two paydays a month, she used the first pay check to pay for rent and food. And the second paycheck payed for food and utilities, which left them extra funds. With this extra funds she would buy take-out restaurant food. It was exciting for this family that once a month they were able to eat restaurant food. They'll be a lot of people out there, who may be experiencing (maybe for their first time) payday to payday living. You Can Do It. It can be done. Just have patience, and know that you have control. God Loves All His Children. |

What In The Heck Is In Our Food???
It makes you wonder why the world is in chaos...all the hate and violence, why? When a child is acting up, parents might change their kid's food diet to learn if that is the problem. In many cases, parents discover that certain food is the root cause in their child's overactive behavior. Perhaps it is the same with adults. If you are irritated, overly hyper, or depressed, etc. perhaps change your food diet to see if it helps. We are not doctors here at, A Cup of Coffee With God Vision Ministry. But we can't help and wonder what causes peoples changes in character when we see their mood-swings. We know of one person who when she drinks instant coffee, she cannot sleep for two days straight and is unnaturally hyper. Yet she can drink her own ground, pour-over coffee and have a good night sleep. Another who cannot have GMO dark chocolate, or she will become grumpy and moody. Yet she can have organic chocolate and remain her sweet, kind self. The next time you become irritated, overly hyper, or depressed etc. try looking back and study what you have eaten or drank that may have caused your mood-swings. God Loves All His Children. |

Can We All Just Get Along??
2020 brought crises to. literally the entire world. You would think that those difficult times would have made us realize we need to take a step back and visualize the future we want as a global community. It is so sad that there is still age-old conflict and destruction. Have we not learned anything? Can we learn to get along? So many work for; things, to rule, to control, to make profit (and more, and more profit), to be the one who says "I win." Can we begin working harder towards being friends among all people? We are survivors of a global pandemic. That is something we all need to reorganize and celebrate. Some may feel disbelief, others may even have survivor-guilt. We all need to stop and give thanks to God. We all survived for a reason. Let us pray that more of us realize that there is nothing more valuable than the lives of our loved ones and all living things. Let us be friends, let us work hard to live in peace along with our neighbors. God Loves All His Children. |

Please do not rush into normality, have patience, and truly allow for us all to wake from this dreadful nightmare. God Loves All His Children. |

Savings For Your Eternal Departure,
How much are you paying (or considering about paying) for a life insurance plan? The worries and questions are endless. You have to research, and research again which insurance company to choose. Then, you have to worry if they will still be around to pay your loved ones. What if you consider another way. Open a savings account, an old-fashion, secure savings account (not a market account). A lot of people and financial advisers might criticize this type of savings account, because there is no chance of growing the funds except through your own deposits and interest (if interest rates ever grow again). Some financial advisers will likely talk about how your savings funds will stay at present value if not invested. That might be true, although we don't believe that to be a bad thing. Saving money in an old-fashion, secure (FDIC insured) savings account should do one thing, be there. The five dollars a week/month you deposited in there when starting your savings account a year ago, should still be the $240/$60 you've saved up (so long as you are careful and have no banking fees). You don't have to wait for the market'(s) to rise, you don't have to worry about investments falling, and you shouldn't have to worry about an insurance company closing up business. If you begin saving a little each week, or each month, it will add up over time. You can add a beneficiary/will to your savings account, and feel as certain as you can that your love-one'(s) will receive the funds to take care of your eternal departure from this life.

Fear,
We all have fear of one thing or another. Fear can come singular, or multiplied. You can become fearful of people or things. You can even become fearful of changes. We need to find ways to live with our fears, to understand them, and to sometimes face them. Fear can sometime make you do things you don't want to do, its like the fear takes over before you can stop yourself. It freezes you from doing what you would prefer to do, what you know is right. Let God be your guide, He sends us all signs everyday. You must decipher which messages are sent by your God, and what those signs mean to you. Just remember, God would never ask you to do or act in dangerous or cruel ways. Keep positive, optimistic, and let your heart guide your feelings and your actions. God Loves All His Children. |

Cleaning House!
Through this whole pandemic, staying at home, how many of you have been cleaning out and reorganizing your homes. It's like going shopping without needing cash, finding all those items you thought you lost. Only discovering that they were buried under all the clutter. Now the only problem, you learn that you have two or three of the same items. Four things you can do. Give away the extra, used items to someone you know who can use it, or donate the items to a good cause (just do your research about that charity), have a garage sale (just follow the safety, health guidelines), or if the item is new then re-gift (birthday, anniversaries, holidays, etc.).

Live For Today As Well As For Tomorrow,
Remember the meaning of today, Good Friday. What have you given up on this Good Friday as a thank you? Many of us reserve for our future, we save for a rainy day, we stockpile (hopefully responsibility), we become too focused, too often, on completing projects before spending quality time with our loved ones, we live our lives preparing for tomorrow and the days that follow tomorrow. This is smart, these things need to be considered and put into practice. Yet, we also need to live in the present, we need to acknowledge, appreciate, and experience all that is here and now...today. Many of us live our lives like we're playing a game of chess, we are so focused on foreseeing and strategizing that we are likely not enjoying the game and the time spent playing? Or are we simply just stressed out?? Try to find a balance, prepare for the future while you are enjoying each and every day. Time is invaluable, life is precious, live your life peacefully. God Loves All His Children. |

Don't go Crazy,
Life WILL become normal again, eventually. Have patience, life will go on. Stay safe. Be smart and save lives by wearing your mask, this way you wont feel that guilt that you didn't help by wearing your mask. If we all had worked together (all over the world), this pandemic could have been destroyed in possibly the first three months (of 2020). Let us all work together now. Take caution and don't rush back into normal behavior. If you are one who has tried your best to follow the health guidelines (thank you), please continue to have patience. If you are someone who has not followed the health guidelines, please seriously consider these guidelines as something that simply shows your love for the people you love. Wear a mask, wash your hands, keep your distance. There is hope on the horizon, let us all work together to help God heal the world. Have patience with the people around you, family, friends, and even strangers. Let us pray for the victims and their family in Georgia and Colorado (USA). May they all find peace.

Live With Happiness,
Live with what you have, don't be blind to the value/priceless of your surroundings. See what is in front of you before it is too late and it, or they, are no longer there. Most of us have lived in a world of materialism, and while having nice things and living an easy lifestyle is not a bad thing. If you are not seeing the importance of and/or cherishing the truly important people/things in your lives, that is when materialism becomes something truly sad. We are in the middle of a global pandemic, be glad and thankful for the people who are still apart of our daily lives. We are in the middle of a supply shortage (which seems to go on and off again), be glad for the things that you have in your life. Hold dear the to things that bring you good memories, hold tighter to the people who you love (even if that hug is virtual due to this pandemic crisis). God Loves All His Children. |

Pray From The Heart,
Those of you who pray, do you pray from your mind? Do you pray from your feelings? Do you pray from your faith's point of view? Have you tried praying from your heart? Is there a difference? I believe that God listens to all prayers. We are all God's children, He listens to us all. During this time of need, we are all probably praying from our hearts because of what we are all witnessing. Don't allow for fear and hatred to guide your prayers, always allow for your heart to do the praying. God Loves All His Children. |

A Plant For Your Loved One,
God's creations are beginning to bloom all around us. How is your patio or container garden springing to life? With all the sadness that is going around, have you taken a moment to stop and smell the roses lately? It may bring a smile to your heart. It is time to begin to plant new seeds and care for your garden, grow your own foods and plant some flowers to feed the wild birds and critters in your gardens (Note, always plant your food and flower plants separately. Some flowering plants may be poisonous). Watch the miracle of those beautiful seeds sprout and blossom. For those of you who have lost a loved one, plant a memory plant for them in your yard, or in a pottery for indoor or outdoors. We plant roses for those we have lost in our lives.

Tools of the Trade,
There are many artist who have made their own tools, usually these artist have made a tool from scratch or have modified something because they need it particularly custom for the work that needs to be done. Sometimes artist hand make the tools of their trade because the tools they seek haven't been manufactured, and sometimes it's because certain tools are simply too expensive to buy from a store. No matter the reason, most artist and crafty people know how to improvise to create what they envision. This would seem a perfect habit for anyone to try and pick up in their lives. With everything that is occurring in the world, there are items that some may not be able to find in the stores, and there are items that some may not be able to afford right now. If you are experiencing not being able to find what you need, you may want to consider safely improvising if you can. There are many areas in life where one can improvise. Attire, household decor, garden, etc. Much of this might require recycling and upcycling. Don't consider, with everything that is happening in the world, that your life is limited. Consider instead all the possibilities that you might have never imagined learning. And you could also save some funds along the way. God Loves All His Children. |

Grudges,
It is said that a smile can erase negativity, like some type of superpower. They say when you smile, it can make someone else feel uplifted even if they're having a bad day. Of course, that is a difficult superpower when we all need to wear a mask. Maybe a simple hello will uplift that person in need of a smile?? Holding grudges can make you unhappy, it can keep you from seeing the wonders of life because you are constantly recalling the betrayals of someone, or multiple people. Sometimes you can forgive and let go, sometimes you simply have to let go. Don't let negative people continue to disrupt your life. Only keep them out of your life if necessary, they may just need a smile to change their negativity. Choose to focus on all the good people in your life, the good times, and smile away the negativity. God Loves All His Children. |

Celebrate Your Beautiful Memories!
Valentine's is in the air. It is always difficult to think of these special days with so many who have lost loved ones. If you lost a loved one, who loved to celebrate Valentine's day. Don't leave them out, display photographs of them and recall the good times spent with them. Around their photos, place flowers (their favorite blooms). Maybe make a Valentine's day card for them and place it along side the flowers. If you have a place to plant, maybe plant for them a little garden. You can buy a chair or bench and write their name on the backrest. This could be a place where you can go and think about your loved one during any day of the year, and celebrate the memories of your lost loved one. If you believe in the Saints, pray to St. Valentine for your lost loved one, or for the special somebody who you cannot be with due to the pandemic. God Loves All His Loved Ones. |

Love Thy Neighbor,
It is difficult to respect your neighbors when they are ignoring the health guidelines and living life like there is no tomorrow while you are abiding by the health guidelines and are also doing little extras to keep your household (and community) safe. Your neighbors are members of your communities, they may shop at the same grocery stores that you and your family does. When you witness with your own eyes that some of your neighbors (some of whom are retired) go out almost everyday, have guest, and who greet those guest without masks when they arrive (while standing less than three feet apart). When you watch some of your neighbors continue to hire people for their lawn care, house cleaning, and handy-persons, who do not seem to wear masks. When you consider these people are all members of your community, and are all helping the virus continue to spread. It is difficult to love thy neighbor. During Christmas, we were asked how to deal with a neighbor who brought them baked cookies for Christmas every year. This neighbor had always came over to their house sick each year during Christmas. We suggested that they ask her as polity as possible to not bake cookies for them since they were not greeting anyone during the holidays (while trying not to indicate that they thought she lived too dangerously during a pandemic). She didn't take the hint, baked them cookies, and stopped them at their driveway as they returned home one evening???? No, they did not eat the cookies, and felt bad about having to throw food away. Pray for your reckless neighbors, and do not feel bad about taking precautions around them. They are not taking the health guidelines seriously and are placing you, yours, and your community at risk. Be polite and keep your distance. God Loves All His Children. |
May We All Have
A Joyful & Healing

If you believe in God, let your faith guide you. Live and act in the way God would want us to.
Believe in miracles, keep your faith for a better tomorrow, yet help God and his Angels bring that better tomorrow.
Are we not lucky that the ways to protect ourselves and our loved ones from this virus is elementary? Possibly as simple as allowing it to extinguish itself if we follow the guidelines. Masks are said to protect lives. Wearing a mask to keep someone alive seems like a gesture of love, of empathy. And now that this pandemic is threatening our children, it is about saving our next generation.
Wearing a mask is about trying to save lives. Listen to your Angels. Wear A Mask as if an Angel has woven it from the fibers of their wings. Cover with Angel Wings and Help God Heal the World.

Demons
Do demons really exists? Do they really try to bring about negativity in the weak minded? It makes you wonder. It is said that wearing a mask is a simple, least-intrusive way to stop/slow this world-wide pandemic. If you make your own masks, you don't have to worry that your masks have been tampered with. Wearing a mask is not something that is being introduced into your system. Wearing a mask is not about challenging anyone's "rights." Wearing a mask is about trying to save lives. Have you recently taken an airplane trip? It has been said that passengers give-up some amendment rights when they board an airplane. Do you wear your seat-belt when you drive? Do you drink and drive? Do you go grocery shopping while barefoot and without a t-shirt? etc. Masks are said to protect lives. Wearing a mask to keep someone alive seems like a gesture of love, of empathy. And now that this pandemic is threatening our children, it is about saving our next generation. Listen to your Angels, not the demons. If you wear a mask, thank you. Feel good knowing that you are a member of those who care, by trying to stop this virus from not only continuing its spread, but also mutating (again). You are protecting you, your loved ones, and your community. You are proving that you have a strong mind to help others. God Loves All His Children. |

The Magic Of The Christmas Star,
We Vision Ministers at, A Cup Of Coffee With God Vision Ministry believe that the power of the Christmas Star is continuing to shine its magic upon us.
The Christmas Star shined brightest on December 21st, and we believe that it was a sign of hope for 2021. Already, we see those seeds of hope sprouting. Even on a scary and dark day in American History, there was news of hope for a better tomorrow. We need to hold on to our hope that God will bless our 2021 with healing. Healing for mind, body, and spirit. Healing for Earth all around the world. God Loves All His Children. |
The Christmas Star shined brightest Dec. 21, 2020 for the first time in 800 years.

Blessed Epiphany
3 Kings Day

I hope you are having a blessed Epiphany, Three Kings Day!
The season of giving may feel over and done with, yet with all that is happening in the entire "world" right now, we hope that for those of you who are able will continue to give gifts to those who are in need. Gifts can be more then donated items, it can be good will, patience, an act of kindness, a willingness to live in peace across from your neighbor even if they do not accept you for who you are. There are Holy days all year round, the widely celebrated days (seasons) and the days few people know about. If you need a "season" to give you a reason to be charitable, research these other Holy times of the year and maybe discover a season of giving all the year long. God Loves All His Children. |

Gift Returns,
With all that has happened during 2020, we were wondering if anyone has considered another option for their unwanted Christmas gift(s). We have seen news reports about the mega amount of items that are expected to be returned during the last days of 2020 and the first weeks into 2021. We read that there are stores doing what they can to make returns easier and safer. We have watched news briefs on how to safely return unwanted Christmas gift(s). Yet, we wonder, if you received the gift(s) free of charge, wouldn't it be an interesting idea to donate or re-gift those unwanted Christmas gift(s)? Someone in need could use the blouse or pair of shoes that you would not wear even if they were your size. A thrift store could sell that alarm clock or handbag that you do not need, which may help their charity. Etc. etc. It may be the safer option as well. God Loves All His Children. |
May You All Have A Safe & Healthy
Merry Christmas
Anchor yourself at home this Christmas, so you can help God save lives.
Post Made: 12-11-2020
This year has been difficult for everyone around the world. Many are looking forward for the New Year like never before in their lives, hoping 2021 can heal the chaos 2020 has caused to our lives and our world. Yet, 2021 seems so far way even while it is only a few weeks before the new year rings in.
This season 2020, we see so many people looking for hope, hanging onto the belief that exists during the magic of the season, many are looking and waiting for miracles (even little ones) to brighten our lives.
Have you heard the news about the Christmas Star? News articles report that it has been over 800 years since it has shined for us as brightly as it will this December 21, 2020 (Research the Christmas Star that is coming).
Let us pray, everyone, no matter your beliefs or your faith, we need all prayers from all faiths, please join in. Let us pray around the world for healing and peace all around our Mother Earth.
Let us all believe and pray as, the Three Kings did in the message of the Christmas Star. We here at, A Cup Of Coffee With God Vision Ministry are praying that the Christmas Star will bring healing to the Earth and all.

Narcissism,
What is going on in this world? It is so sad with this, pandemic causing so many deaths to now hear that a war has begun (you can search for more information). People with no heart. It is all about greed. What will it take to make people pause and begin caring for one another? Are narcissuses taking over the world? If you look up the definition of narcissism, it basically describes people who think that the world only revolves around them. Hate should not be. Narcissism demands your loyalty, your obedience to do their bidding without question…why would you harm for the narcissuses who thinks they are Gods, when our true God would never want harm done to His children nor His Creation. Love and caring should be the most important practices during any times of crisis. Love thy neighbor, love your surroundings, love those in your life, and pray for peace and health for Mother Earth so she can heal herself and the pandemic. God Loves All His Children. |

Patience, Hope, and Prayers,
No matter what changes are to be, have patience. Have lots of hope. Be positive! Whatever you believe in, Pray. Be prepared. You know the saying, when you are prepared you may never need it. It always helps to be prepared. Not only for you and your loved ones, also for your pets, and for your neighbors. Not only for today, always try to keep at least two weeks of food and necessities. Stay safe. We are all one. God Loves All His Children. |

You’re Not Alone, A Big Percentage Are Having To Start Over.
It is sad to think about these times, the struggle that has struck so many people across the U.S.A. Many people have suddenly found themselves back at square one. There are jobs out there, and hopefully more will come if the American factories do return. Many people are going to have to be willing to start over, to start from the ground up. That job may not come with a title, it may not include an office, or even a desk, nor a company car. What it will come with is a paycheck. A regular, hopefully dependable, salary. An honest job is an honest living. There is never a shame in starting over, as long as you’re willing to give it a try. God Loves All His Children. |

Photographs for the, Day Of The Dead,
For some people, having photos around helps them. They see the photo, and they're taken back to that time, to relive those memories again. I know this one person, we'll call her Sally who has a brother, this brother was always down and depressed. Sally and her brother lived apart by hundreds of miles, therefore, their communication was by phone or internet. Sally wanted to send photos to her brother, but he said that the photos would only make him more sad. Sally told her brother that she was still going to send the photographs, and that when he receives them to only think of the good times that each picture represents. After Sally's brother received the photos, he text Sally to let her know that she was right. The photos brought him back all the memories that he hadn't thought about in years, and those good memories that were once forgotten are back in his heart. While photographs may not always help everyone, having photos to display is like the past is always with you. Also, having photographs displayed of our loved ones who have pass, honors their memory.

We Are All God's Children,
We are all human, no matter our skin tone or personal preferences for the way we live our lives. We are all human. We all feel emotions of both good and bad. We feel happiness, we feel sadness. We all have our struggles, and experience anxieties about our futures. We all have had feelings about being lucky, and optimistic for our futures. We know our own histories, and we can journey through those histories like an experienced backpacker. What seems difficult for us to understand, is that others have had similar feelings and experiences through their own journeys. They laugh, they cry, and they feel just as you do. Who are they? Your fellow human beings. We may not agree with them, we may not even approve of the way they choose to live their lives. Then again, they may not agree with you, or approve of the way you choose to live your life. So long as no one nor nothing is being harmed, we need to ask ourselves what we believe the definition of freedom really means. First from a personal viewpoint, then weigh how we might change that viewpoint when considering the definition of freedom for someone else. During a crisis like we all (globally) have found ourselves experiencing, we need to symbolically come together. Cherish and protect those dear to us, care about and understand the strangers we may never come to agree with, and find a way to have patience with all the humans we encounter in our daily lives. Keep a smile and understanding for all living on this Earth. Hate does not belong on this Earth, God does not Hate. God Loves All His Children. |

Feed The People,
Feed the hungry. It is difficult to think about other people when you and your family are likely struggling yourselves. Yet, it is just as important as ever to help when and if you can. Just like when buying that little extra for keeping your emergency food pantry stocked, you can also purchase an extra (non-perishable) food-good (now and again). Maybe you can dedicate a basket or a bucket to add these food-goods to, and then donate to your local food pantry once you've collected a hefty bundle. Every little bit helps, one extra can of soup is one more meal than the pantry had before your gift. Maybe you can begin collecting now, and by Christmas (or another Holiday, maybe even for the New Year), you will have a nice gift to donate to your church's food drive or your local food pantry. You may even want to consider non-perishable baby food, or pet food, or other necessities, etc. etc. God Loves All His Children. |

The Beginning Of The Haunting Season Has Began,
The first day of this month brings upon us the thrills of the approaching fun of Halloween. Modern America understands Halloween as a time to dress up, walk down dark, spooky-decorated streets, and knock on strangers door for treats. Yet, do you know the history of this fun filled day? If you have children, it may be a fun school project for you to give them. Learn the history of Halloween and what it truly means. How the holiday is celebrated in different parts of the world, or how there are other holidays celebrated by different cultures that are similar to Halloween. Maybe you can build-up a questionnaire for them to research and fill out, with questions like, "Where did the saying, Trick or Treat come from," and "Why do people dress up for Halloween?" etc. etc. God Loves All His Children. |

Will There Be Another 911?
When we first started this Ministry, one of our goals was the hopes to inform people to prepare for a 911 (along with preparing for retirement). Never did we dream that the 911 we were asking people to prepare for, would be a deadly global virus. Sad to say, and we hope that it becomes false predictions, that we need to continue to prepare for another 911 that may come in a different form. It is never a bad idea to prepare and take precautions, always be prepared without panicking. You don't need to be rich or well off to prepare. If you prepare now, each time you go shopping, by purchasing a little extra necessities when you go out to the stores (e.g. one extra pack on t-paper, a couple extra cans of food, one more bag of pet food. Be sure to rotate your emergency stash after each shopping to keep an eye on dates). This way, you can try to avoid having to go out in the rush of other people trying to buy in a time of panic (like what happened in March of 2020, just about everyone was panic buying). Try your best not to empty the shelves when out shopping, this way other's have the opportunity to buy what they need as well. Stay Safe. God Loves All His Children. |

The Power Of Prayers,
Let us Pray for the two young Police Officers who were ambushed this past weekend in Los Angeles County. The Power of Prayers, to see the Prayer group(s) outside the hospital where these two Police Officers were taken is a spiritual sight. The Power of Prayers, it is nice to hear that these two Police Officers are doing OK and healing. Continue to Believe in the Power of Prayer for peace and health. Let us all Pray for the victims and the people evacuating because of the fires from the Southern to the Northern west coast. God Loves All His Children. |

Dream/Believe,
In today's time, with the economic and global pandemic leaving just about everyone in disbelief of their dreams. Don’t give up. Keep your dreams, you can make your dreams come true. You just might have to wait and take baby steps to get back up and go forwards. Have patience. Just like the Monarch butterflies, the mysteries of their travels. Always having to struggle to make a comeback and survive, and somehow, they always do comeback again and again. You can do it, just believe in yourself and your dreams. Stay safe. God Loves All His Children. |

What Dreams May Come?
We all have dreams, bedtime dreams, daydreams, our imagination can take us on fantastic journeys. We can do the impossible in reality, if we really, truly want to. But first, we all need to put our all into fighting this world pandemic. Some of us are doing our best and following the rules, while others are simply not caring and acting like children who need to grow up. It is sad to say that even some of the churches don’t seem to care, when they could just hold outdoor mass or parking-lot, drive-in mass. whether we believe in this pandemic or not, we need to follow rules so we could work on our dreams. Showing your faith in God is not about taking unnecessary risks, unnecessary risks is known as the game called russian roulette. Some people are claiming that it is their right to not wear a mask, and they have the right to gather without social distancing. I am a huge believer in personal rights and in a person’s right to do things their own way (including your beliefs on whether you should or shouldn’t receive testing and vaccines). It seems like masks and social distancing is a small request. It is about not selfishly gambling with other people’s lives and not risking our own life. Just because this pandemic has not hit close to your home, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t protect other people who are vulnerable, especially your seniors and your children by wearing a mask and practicing social distancing. Every one of the lives lost to this pandemic mattered. Each and every one. We pray for our California, our USA, and our Earth. God Loves All His Children. |

Be Proud To Have The Freedom To Go Forward,
There was a reason for why we have posted so many times about saving for a rainy day/911. Now that the storm is here, and have been here for most of 2020, sad to say, just about everyone is experiencing some kind of financial strain. Many of us worked our way up to a decent living. With positive thinking, yes you can work your way up again. It will not be easy, just try to keep that positive mind on a positive future. Being poor, you won't be alone. There is nothing wrong with being poor. There is a lot of help out there, take the help, and once you're back on you're back on your own two feet, don't forget to give back. Pay it forward. Try your best to not see credit debt as a helping aid. Debt may only hold you back and stress you out. Credit debt is said to only fund the 1%. God Loves All His Children. |

The Earth Is Our Mother,
Our Earth is a continuous gift from God. She is our provider, who nourishes and offers her natural resources (e.g. water, soil, plants) for all of God's children. Mother Earth was created by God, and to honor our Earth is not disrespecting God. By destroying God's Earth that He gifted to his children, we are therefore insulting God. When we say grace before each meal, we are thanking God. Yet, we are also thanking His Earth. Mother Earth provides our food, our drinks, our surviving nourishment. Pray for the Earth, reconnect with her soil, and thank God for our Mother Earth. God Loves All His Children. |

Help Save Lives! All Lives Matter.
Greed does not only exist among those who are rich, it is also something that the poor practice. Greed comes in many forms. The rumors about people deciding to remain on unemployment when they are notified that their jobs have returned. The rumors about people wearing "fake" masks (this is so sad). The rumors that people are attending, covid-parties, backyard gatherings, etc. Are these gatherings to help the spread continue? This way unemployment checks keep rolling in???? To witness how people are discarding their used (possibly contaminated) masks on the ground....just think, this whole mess started because of environmental stress. Hummmm. Don't live with guilt. Help save lives. Stay safe. God Loves All His Children. |

God Loves All His Children,
All lives matter. Everyone around this globe is going through a crisis, no matter their culture, religion, political party, whether they're female, male, adult, or child. We all need to understand the struggles of other people and acknowledge them from our own prospective. We all have our own experiences that matches other peoples stories, our stories are simply lived through in a different setting. This is why all lives matter. This is why we all need to stand together in peace and understand each others ways of life. Stay safe, healthy, and be peaceful. God Loves All His Children. |

Teaching In God's Garden,
It is mystifying that, A Cup Of Coffee With God Vision Ministry's dream Structure for Prayers is an open structure. Jesus preached in the open, not in a building. Maybe it is time to teach the word of our God in the way Jesus did, out in the open with the views of God's creation. With this global crises, more churches should consider a more permanent solution to this problem. It is said to be safer when people are outside versus inside with social distancing and masks.

Christmas In July,
It has been a sad 2020, with the crisis’ that has been going on around the world, with all the lives lost, with all the jobless households it is difficult to even think about the holidays this early. Yet, when the holidays come closer, we will be thinking about what we will be giving to our loved ones and to our precious children. Many of us have lost some income and won’t have the funds, this Christmas in July date is the time to think about what you are going to gift and gives you time if you are going to hand-make your gifts. There is a lot of up-cycle projects and re-gifting of something you already have. Research online for ideas about up-cycling and re-gifting. You never know what you have around the house that can be reused and recycled. Crafting for gift giving is an uplifting feeling. Giving always gives you a good feeling, we all need that up-lifting feeling. God Loves All His Children. |

Credit Or Cash? That is the Question,
With the stores reopening, we are noticing that there are some businesses who are demanding a credit only payment platform. NO CASH???? Adding to your debt is something you should be very careful about right now. Credit is not magic money, credit is a debt that must be paid back with interest that adds up hugely. This seems a dangerous time for people to deepen their debt. During this time of uncertainty, debt will only add to the stress. We understand that some people have no choice, they need to rely on their credit cards to get them through this global crisis. If possible, whenever possible, please do try your best to use cash as your choice of payment. There are stores who are only accepting cash. Along the way, try to pay down the debt you do have when possible. Think of it this way, when you use your credit cards you may be supporting the 1%. If you chose to use your debit card, please be sure you trust the retailer you are making the payment transaction with. There are scams going around everywhere right now, always question and research. God Loves All His Children. |

Home Cooking,
Modern families have enjoyed less and less of the deliciousness of homemade meals. This global crisis has reintroduced some to their kitchens, and many have rediscovered the art of home cooking. Maybe you had to learn from scratch. Maybe you had to dig out old recipe cards, or call a family member for cooking tips. Maybe you relied on the internet, or dusted off some old cook books that you had stashed away. Perhaps your cooking wasn't the best at first, then discovered that deliciousness comes about with practice, research, and trial and error. We hope you are also researching what are the true healthier choices for you and your family. We also hope you realized that you might have saved funds by cooking at home. Now that the world seems to be inching closer to reopening for business, we hope you continue to cook at least a few of your meals from your very own kitchen. Dinner each day? A special dinner each week? Dinner on your days off work? Homemade lunches to be enjoyed the following afternoon? God Loves All His Children. |

Global Chaos,
The world is in chaos, let us pray. Let us pray for healing, the mind, the body, the hate. For those of you who are protesting peacefully, we pray for you to keep the peace, to be safe, stay positive. You are being heard. Keep your face mask on, and stay hydrated. For those of you who are looting and vandalizing, you are harming the reason for those who are peacefully protesting. looting is all about greed, and no different than the one percent who so many are protesting against. Follow your brothers and your sisters in the peaceful protest, not the greed of wanting more. Vandalizing is jealousy and greed, and jealousy is a dangerous thing. We pray that no one gets the virus that is spreading. Please, at least distance yourself from seniors, people whose immune systems are weak, and our children. They are saying that the sun can kill this global virus that is going around. If this is true, maybe spend some time alone meditating out in the sun for a little while each day.

It is nice that some churches will be able to open their doors now. Please help your church by practicing social distancing, wearing face masks, and following health guidelines. We don’t want our churches to be blamed if the spread worsens in coming weeks or months, with this past Memorial Day Weekend, the coming summertime activities, and the holidays of Fourth of July, Labor Day, and protestors, etc.
Even if you do not become sick, you can become a carrier who transports the disease to someone who can suffer from this crisis. You do not want this to be on your mind, the worry, the regret, the realization. This global crisis is not about the survival of the fittest, it is about the responsibility and the understanding to protect other human beings, your neighbors, even if they are strangers (young and old). God Loves All His Children. |
Have A Blessed
Memorial Day
Be Safe.
Remember Your Loved Ones.

Living in Denial?
It is sad to think that it has taken a global crisis to make so many people realize that they need to start saving and thinking about their debt. We read an article from CNN that states how people are slashing their spending and decreasing their debt. If you are one of the fortunate ones who still has some kind of an income, and are able to save a little, please do consider saving in a classic regular savings account. It is difficult for businesses and employees when people begin to save their hard earned money. It is time for people everywhere to start supporting their local businesses, to shop for their necessities locally, helping their neighbors by helping their communities. At the same time, please do tighten your belt on what you do decide to spend on. Save, save, save. Minimize debt. Try to think of this as a game, be smart and conserve. Try to keep yourself and your finances healthy. As life begins to re-open, continue to guard your health and practice social distancing. Try to remain in your community, save on transportation costs. Try to cut back on bad habits, save that money in a classic, regular savings account. Support local business who are thinking inventively, who are thinking about their employees, their customers, and not just their profits. Thinking of new, safe, and smart ways to get back to business. God Loves All His Children.

Food For Thought,
Prayers for all those who have lost someone during this global crisis. Prayers for all the children, especially now that this virus seems to have found a way to target our little ones. For those of you who are stocking up, please keep in mind that the warm summer months are near. Now that more people are home, they will running their air conditioning systems, there could be a great demand on the power supply. Consider non-perishable food that not only should have a much longer storage life, but should also survive power outages. The great thing about cans and non-refrigerated/freezer goods, is that when the time comes to rotate and replace because of nearing due-dates, you can donate those unused/unopened food goods. I do hope that everyone is thinking about their gardening, a garden is not only for Spring time, and a garden can still be possible even if you don't have a lot of yard space or maybe just have a balcony. There are super dwarf fruit patio trees, and there are many fruit, vegetable, and herb plants that can be grown inside. Research, research, research and begin your garden soon. God Loves All His Children. |

Patience Please,
If you were watching our global crises as a movie instead of living it out in real life, what would you expect the characters in that movie to do to best survive? Patience is not easy to continue practicing, it must be learned, you must be willing to focus on patience especially when things become impossibly tough. Patience is a virtue. There is nothing more important than the safety and well being of our family. Sometimes we become fearful of becoming destitute and this is understanding. This is a scary time, we are worried about the roofs over our heads, the food stock in our pantries, the medicines in are cupboards, etc. The necessities of life. We know that you'll agree that the health of you and yours are the most important valuables you have in your life. Please, please continue with social distancing, wearing face masks, and (if you can find some) maybe consider wearing disposable gloves. God Loves All His Children. |

Be True To Who You Are,
I know this person (we'll name her, Delilah) who is feeling so sad with what the world is going through. Delilah cannot even talk to her sister because her sister is living a lie and has blocked Delilah from her life knowing that Delilah will not live by her sister's lies. This person did not only blocked her own sister, Delilah from her life, she had also pushed her own children away from her life. So, so sad. Lies always catch up to you, so be true to who you are. Stop hurting those around you, just so you can live your lies. God Loves All His Children |

Gardening Is Not Confined To One Season,
We hope you are starting and/or preparing your garden during this Spring time. Some believe that gardening is something only done in spring, when there are a number of fruits and veggies that can grow throughout the seasons, Summer, Fall, and even Winter. You simply need to research plants for your area and how to care for those plants during their season. Even a small greenhouse or growing indoors can help you grow plants all year round. Remember, even a small space can grow a garden. Plants, and even some trees can be grown in pottery. Maybe even create a prayer garden among the fruit and veggies. Have a Blessed Earth Day. God Loves All His Children. |

Garden Time,
We pray everyone is well and healing. During this time, I hope you have thought about your garden. Even if you live in a apartment and have only a balcony or indoor kitchen/dining room space. A garden (like music and comedy) is said to help heal both body and mind. Research what will grow in your area and available space, see if you can start from seed or purchase the plants from your local garden center. If you have children, this could be the perfect project for you and them to work on together. Research which plants do well together, therefore can share a planter container. Research how to safely select planter containers if you decide to up-cycle from consumed food containers (e.g. research plastic types). If you are thinking of saving seeds from store bought produce, research which ones can be saved to grow from. Some say that genetically modified organisms do not allow for seed saving, yet do your research to be sure. God Loves All His Children. |

Let is pray on this special day, Good Friday, and during the coming miracle of our Holy day of Easter for the healing of this global crises we all find ourselves living through. Let us all pray for our Earth to heal.
Let us all pray for those who have lost their loved ones, may they stand strong in the recovery from their lost, and may they remain strong in their faith. We are accustomed to gathering during holidays, to gather and create new memories with those who you love. It is important that we find the strength this Easter to avoid the temptation to celebrate in a gathering, especially for our seniors. Celebrate Easter, yet let this years celebrations be about healing and helping put a stop of this virus's spread. For those of you blessed with children, maybe make this years celebrations about arts and craft, using up-cycling like reusing throw away items. For those who follow our Pope Francis, may we all pray for our Pope Francis during this time of sadness, that he remains strong and healthy. God Loves All His Children, |

Let us pray for all the world, for this historic crisis that cannot truly be ignored unless you are in denial or living completely off the grid. While we must remain optimistic through this gloomy time, it is just as important than ever that we reflect and understand what we need to learn from this crisis.
There is an Ancient Cherokee Legend that I (minister C’Ann) first heard when I was a child, and which has always remained among my favorite stories. Bear with me, I am recalling this story from reminiscence. This is a short retelling, for a detailed article please search for this legend online. ----The Remedy, The legend tells about how animals became angered on how humankind treated them, in the disregard humans had for the environment that was meant to be shared among all living things. The vengeful animals gathered and decided to create diseases to punish humans. The plants, all plants, from trees and shrubs, ornamental plants and herbs, wild grasses and even the mosses took pity on humanity. They felt that the council of animals were too harsh in their punishment, and agreed that for every disease that the animals created, the plants would provide a remedy. ---- The above is an Ancient Cherokee Legend (I am unsure of this legend's name). With the current crises the world currently finds ourselves in, this legend holds a whole new meaning for me. There is a balance that we must understand, that we must try our best to maintain. We Christians believe that our God created this wonderful world we live within. Humans caused chaos in the, Garden of Eden. How do we know that this test is really a chance for all humans to prove that we can maintain our world here, and save the Earth for all humans and animals, therefore showing that we can behave ourselves in Heaven's Gardens? Pray, reflect, listen to music, watch positive (e.g. comedy) television and movies, spend time with your loved ones (if you can), and pray some more. God Loves All His Children. |

We Have Been Given A Glimpse Into Tomorrow
If We Don’t Make A Change Today! Ask yourself, are you feeling worried? Understandably worried about your family, friends, your communities, about the neighbors who you recognize and those who are strangers? Are you feeling concerned about food and necessities? Are you feeling sad, lonely, or irritated? Are you feeling worried or annoyed about not having freedom? For worrying about your job/your business? For worrying about your hard-earned savings account? Etc. First, it is understanding to be worried. Be optimistic, we can make our way through this gloomy time we all find ourselves within. That said, I would like you to realize that we are lucky to be able to feel optimism. It is difficult to not see this crisis as some type of warning. A sign? This crisis has physically divided us, has made us count on the importance of clean water, on the availability of food and necessities, to care about our personal space and places we frequent being uncontaminated, about the amount we have saved in both funds and essential supplies, about our freedoms. In a few short days, our Earth is benefiting. God’s creation has begun to heal a little. Showing all of us that we profit all over the globe if we learn to live in balance with our environment, to learn to not stress our land and wildlife. It is almost like we have been given a glimpse at how our children or grandchildren might have to live. The only difference is that the next generation may not have a chance to feel optimism for a better tomorrow. We, as the current generation has a chance to make the change today that will heal tomorrow for our children and grandchildren. Pray for you and yours, pray for today and tomorrow, pray for the worried, for the healthy, for expecting mothers, and those who are sick, pray for those who have died and their families. This crisis has seemed to favor our children, to keep them safe. Is this not a sign? Pray for the next generation. Remain optimistic, and try to find some time for listening to some of your favorite music. God Loves All His Children. |

Spring Is Upon Us,
This is a gloomy and difficult time for us all. Remain optimistic and follow the guidelines and the laws. Spring is a time when magic blooms and miracles nourishes life. Believe in miracles when darkness is upon us, don’t run away from God’s grace. Today (03-20-2020) we saw a nurse on the news crying, because on the way home from a long and exhausting shift at work, she stopped at the grocery store where she discovered empty shelves. It was so sad, to see that the people who are risking their lives to save ours, are going without. This should not be. Try to not over buy, before this public emergency, they said you needed two weeks of food and necessities. It has been for this kind of time that we have been trying to advise people to prepare their families and their homes. Now that a difficult public emergency is here, please try to not panic buy. Now we need to think not only of ourselves, we need to consider our neighbors, especially our elderly neighbors, our neighbors who are more at risk, and our First-Responders. Please do not over buy, now they are asking for you to purchase a week worth of food and necessities. Try to buy because you need, take care of your health, do not feed your fear. The law is allowing you to shop, please don’t over shop knowing that you will be able to go out again for necessities. You don’t want to have the guilt of over buying, then having to trash that over stock away. When you over buy food, you run the risk of the food spoiling before you can enjoy it. If you over buy food and necessities, you are taking away the opportunity for your neighbor to also buy those foods and/or necessities. After this ordeal, most stores are stating that they are not accepting any returns. Don’t over buy. Try, try not to panic. Testing to see if a person has this virus is scarce. They are asking for you to only seek testing if you feel you do have the virus. If you seek testing only because you are fearful and not because you truly feel you have this serious virus, you are taking a test kit away from someone who is ill and who really might have the virus. They say there is no cure, as long as you feel healthy, just follow the guidelines. They say that the best way to end this virus, is to allow it to expire itself. If we follow the guidelines, they say that we have the power to erase this virus from our communities. Separately, we can work together to help one another through this life changing time. Wash your hands, stay home, read the guidelines. Some say that music heals. Try to let music relax you during this very stressful time, by maybe trying to set aside an hour a day to listen to the music that relaxes you. God Loves All His Children. |

Keep A Positive Mind,
During this time, it is important to remain positive. Enjoy life, yes, yet remember to stay safe and wash your hands and practice good, sensible, and safe healthy habits. Beware of those who are trying to take advantage of this time of public concern to scare people into scams, also research wisely for the truthful facts instead of believing any and all rumors that may be spreading untruths. Research to learn how you may be able to make your own sanitary hand cleaner, which may help if you're unable to find products in stores, or to avoid paying the high prices of gouging going on online. Pray for those who need God's guiding help during this time, pray for all who need God's healing touch, and pray for those who have left us. God Loves All His Children. |

Coffee With God,
Pray for those who have lost a love one due to a flu and/or illness. Every year a flu takes a loved one and gives those left behind no time to say goodbye, may they all find peace. They are saying that, due to this year’s illnesses {2020}, we all need to stock up with about two weeks of water and food so that if your area has to be quarantined you and yours would be ready by stocking up ahead of time. Don’t forget to also stock up for your pets. No matter what time of year it is, no matter what is expected or unexpected, always try to keep two weeks of emergency stock. You know what you must have at hand for yourself, your family, and your pets. We need to pray for those who have lost their life in the Tennessee tornadoes, and hope their loved ones who are left behind find peace. Stay positive and keep an optimistic mind.

Life Is Full Of Memories,
You need to accept what life you were born into, and make good with what you have. In today’s time, so many have so little. You never know what the future holds. At one time or another, downsizing just may be the answer. Instead of spending to clutter your home, save so when that time of downsizing comes around, you have less to sort through to make your move an ease. Also, are you paying for storage? How much? Think about what you can save by donating what you no longer need and making room in your home to display and enjoy the things that have emotional memories. Only spend on the necessities.

Do Take A Seat,
How many of you don’t even think about taking a seat to relax and free your mind? In today’s world, even your mind doesn’t seem to know how to relax when you sit down, maybe it’s because when you sit down you are still working on some project. Try sitting and free your mind, even if is just for five or ten minutes a day. You never know, you may just enjoy that five or ten minutes a day of relaxation. No TV, radio, WWW, phones, reading, or talking, just sit and relax your mind. Just make sure there is nothing that needs your attention, or something that can put you and yours in danger if left unattended. God Loves All His Children. |

You Can Do It,
Alright, it is the end of Jan. how many of you have begun receiving the bills from the end of 2019 celebrations? Are you feeling down, sad, shock, and upset with yourself for over spending? Well, you have about nine-ten months to pay down that debt before you repeat it all over again. Maybe if you try and think about what you did, calm yourself down, and try something new. Way back when, parents used to have, mason-jar savings. Where you put all your change and one-dollar bills into a mason-jar, keep it where you can access it easily, where you can add change and dollar bills daily or weekly. You may be surprised when you add up the saved funds from your mason-jar in October or November. Going cash may just save you from charging and supporting the creditors. No matter what, stay positive during this time as the bills clutter your mailbox. You will see yourself through this debt. God Bless All His Children |
!! Happy 2020 to All !!
We hope everyone had a peaceful and safe New Year!
May this year bring upon fun, good times with those who you love and care for.

We Enter A New Decade,
In the past they called it famine, where you sold everything to survive until all you had left was to sell yourself into slavery. Today, what should we call it? Debt? You are a slave to the creditors until you’ve paid off your debt or you end up sleeping in the streets without anything you had slaved yourself to have. As a senior, if you do not remain in debt, you have no credit rating. So why live in slavery to have a good credit rating that you’re only going lose if you don’t want to retire with debt. Credit ratings seems to rule the way we live, everything seems to require a credit card for us to participate in the modern world. It seems like we are being convinced that to enjoy the modern lifestyle, debt is necessary. We are led to believe that credit makes life easier, and we’re made to feel foolish if we think otherwise. If more of us refuse notions like these, systems may change. Live within your income, and save for that retirement. So you don’t have to worry about staying in debt when you retire. I know so many who are in their seventies who all still have to work because they are in debt. Ask yourself, who is benefiting from you being in debt? When you work, you should be working for the benefit of yourself, your family, for the futures of you and yours, and to help your community. When you’re in debt, you’re working for, WHO???? God Loves All His Children. |

Relax Your Mind,
My God bless the world, and may peace come to all. Peace comes in all kinds of forms, think about the peace within your home. Can you find peace with debt? I'm not sure why we feel the need to spread the word of becoming debt free. But being debt free can bring peacefulness to a person's mind and home. The elder of, A Cup of Coffee with God Vision Ministry grew up poor and into her adult years went into debt. And with a tight budget, and baby steps, climbed out of debt. So she knows that it can be done, you just have to take baby steps, keep the right positive attitude, and keep working toward the goal of becoming debt free. God Loves All His Children. |

For those of you who have not yet made your new year resolutions, please be serious about thinking about paying down your debt and saving for those rainy days in the future. You can do it, it takes baby steps, little at a time you can climb out of debt.

Pray For Those In Need,
This year, we ran late with sending out our Christmas cards and have just finished decorating for Christmas. Have you finished decorating for Christmas? Collecting all your Christmas gifts? Is your pantry all stocked up with the goodies for your families traditional Christmas meals? The season can be crazy. It demands so much, and we sometimes have little time to actually enjoy ourselves. Take time to enjoy the season these next few days with the people you care about and love. Let us not forget to pray for those who do not even have a safe and warm place to call their own, or a hot meal, or the spare change to buy a gift for someone who means the world to them. Let us say a prayer that 2020 will be a better one for them. God Loves All His Children. |

A Smile For All,
May you remember to smile to our seniors so they know that they are not forgotten, smile to our little ones so that they know that they are being seen, smile to a passing stranger as you do your shopping. You never know when your smile may bring a smile upon a grumpy person who may just have had a bad day and seeing a smile may just have brightened their day. Smile for no reason, smile while remembering something from your past or present, smiles brings upon good feelings. So don't forget to smile as you go upon you daily doings.

Digital Family
Sometimes we live miles apart from those who we care most about. Sometimes those we love are just up the road from where we live. This digital age we live in can bring us together, especially during the Holidays. However, this digital age can also be a huge distraction that can take us away mentally even while we are present physically. If you are one of the lucky ones to have some or all of your family around for the holidays, even if they are around all year long and not just visiting guests, try giving the gift of being present in real time by cutting back on your digital time. That said, don't forget those who are far away. Even if it is just a text, an old fashion phone call, or post card make someone smile this holiday season with a greeting of hello to those who live miles away. God Loves All His Children. |

Eat, Drink & Be Merry,
Have you noticed how foods and drinks affects your mind and whole body? You may even find that after consuming some foods and/or drinks you find yourself feeling negative. Watch for those feelings. When you feel the negativity, think about what you ate or drank that day. Sometimes even what you ate or drank the day before could affect you the following day. Sometimes, during the holidays, you overindulge in foods and drinks that may affect your body’s chemistry. Paying attention on your moods and how your body feels after you ate or drank something, may help you realize that you may be allergic to certain foods or drinks. It may even be a certain ingredient in that food or drink. Enjoy the Holidays with positive eating and drinking. Have fun, stay safe, and be patient. God Loves All His Children. |

Our Future is Our Children, Our beautiful children, who we need to protect, should be able to go to school and only have the stress of completing homework and preparing for tests. Instead, they are going to school worrying if there will be some type of chaos, and if they will survive. I do believe that kids have so much stress today and therefore their school hours should be shortened and have more on-hand learning. Make school more enjoyable and therefore less stressful. It should be four days of learning, and one day of enjoyable educational activities. Let us all pray for all the children of the world to enjoy education without fear. May peace be with all the schools, and with the victims of the latest chaos at our schools. God Loves All His Children. |

Hello There,
These days, it has become easy to forget about blood relatives, especially if they live far away. While it is good to make friends and even build a circle of friends who all seem like family members, it is important to keep in mind the family who God chose to be linked to you. Including those who have been adopted into the family. Sometimes we have no choice, there are times when a member of the family becomes so toxic that it becomes dangerous to keep in touch with that person. That said, it seems so many are simply disregarding their blood-linked family members for reasons that are unrealistic or selfish. There was a time when communications was limited and/or expensive for family members who lived far apart. There was a time when travel was both expensive and time consuming, not to mention dangerous. Yet, somehow, family members always seemed to find a way to keep in touch with one another. We live in a time where communication is easy and relatively inexpensive, a time where if one cannot travel then they can video chat over the internet. Yet, family members seem further apart than ever before. Even families who live within the same towns and counties seem further apart then they might have been a few decades ago. Make a change this holiday season, and every season going forward. Don’t let a month pass without at least a text to the leaves in your family tree, the tree that was planted by God. God Loves All His Children. |

Prayers for those in California who have been or are threatened by the danger of fire.
Prayers for those back on the East part of the USA, who are struggling during the storms. Think of how your life and the lives of those who you love are far more important than the things that can be replaced over time. Stay safe, and don’t try to protect things/items from the elements if it means you are putting yourself and others in danger. Remember, when you place yourself in danger, you place a rescue team in danger when they try to answer your call for help. Try and keep in mind your neighbors who are elderly, disabled, and alone. And think about your pets, along with anything important (paperwork, photographs, medications, etc.) that you can take with you if evacuation becomes necessary. Think about what you need if there is no power supply. What if you are unable to recharge your phone? Do you have important phone numbers/addresses written down? God Loves All His Children. |

I’m Just Saying,
I don’t believe the saying, “give and you shall receive.” I never practiced this idea, never did or gave all in hopes that I will be rewarded. I don’t even deduct donations when paying my taxes, and I only talk about certain “good deeds” I have done if and when I think it would inspire the person or people I am speaking with to try the ideas themselves. That being said, here’s a story that made me wonder. A young lady was out with her father and mother, apparel shopping for the father who is very particular about the style of his clothing. While driving out of one shopping center, the young women saw a homeless woman and handed her father a couple of dollars to give to the woman. When her father rolled down his window to hand over the funds, the young lady saw that the (very thankful) homeless woman was a senior citizen. When the father pulled out of the shopping center and onto the road, the young lady asked if he could reenter the shopping center’s parking lot so she could give the homeless woman a little more money. This young lady always gave extra to homeless senior citizens. Because she was a passenger and not the driver of the vehicle, the young lady was quite upset when her father refused to return to the elderly homeless woman. To come to the point of this story; the father went on with this clothing search, which lasted for two days. None of the stores carried any clothing that appealed to the young lady’s father. It made me think about that old saying, “give and you shall receive.” It did not make me reconsider the saying as accurate, but it did make a sort of reversed notion. When you’re selfish, what will you lose? I’m just saying. Those who can give, won’t miss what they gave. God Loves All His Children. |

It’s that time (careful about debt),
We all love this time of year, at least most of us like the holiday season. Most of us also like to give, here is where we need to be careful. Some of us don’t think about the costs until the bills come in. Try your best to use cash, this way you don’t overspend. Loving or caring for someone doesn’t need to put you in debt. Enjoy the holidays without debt. If you come from a big family or group, maybe you and yours will find it fun to draw a name out of a bowl of names. Or play the white elephant gift exchange.

Earth Is Crying,
Evil has been unleashed into the world. All over the world, people are suffering because of greed. People are losing their homes, becoming ill, being killed. This is happening because Earth has land, gold, coal, oil, and other minerals that the greedy want no matter the price. God did not create these things within our Earth so that we humans could destroy everything to access them. We are destroying God’s masterpiece, and destroying ourselves along the way. Perhaps the Adam and Eve story is a metaphor. Perhaps it had nothing to do with the apple, perhaps it was the poison held within the apple seeds. Perhaps the meaning of the story is that we should value the creation of God, while not seeking the poison that can destroy us all. In any case, we where evicted from the Garden of Eden for nibbling on an apple, how are the greedy going to justify their part in the destruction of Earth when they reach the doorway into heaven?? ( “Gee, sorry God for what I’ve done to your Earth. I promise not to destroy the Heavens in the same way.” ) No matter your religion or heritage, we need to band together and pray in our own methods. Then we must find a way to oppose the evil that feeds the greedy and expel their power. Only once this is done can we truly work to cleanse the land, heal Earth, and begin to restore God’s masterpiece. Only then will we gain some piece of mind, be able to mend our lives, and leave a better world for our children. God Loves All His Children. |

Who Are You Supporting With Your Debt?
Think about who is making profit with your debt. It’s not right that paying in cash does not reward you a discount. They lure with promises of a discount or many discounts if you pay with a credit card or on credit, yet you end up paying them back the discount’(s) because of interest. In fact, you possibly pay even more (then the suggested retail price) for any item purchased on credit once you add in interest, especially if and when interest becomes compound. You spend your whole life struggling to improve/maintain your credit rating, and/or being haunted by a bad credit score. Recently we learned that you lose your credit score if you do not stay in debt. To find out that by paying off debt will affect a person’s credit score was startling and outrageous. As you age, it should become a goal to pay off debts and eliminate the amount of bills due each month. To find out that a person who eliminates their debt will also eliminate their credit score seems like a deceitful penalty, a ploy to keep people in debt. We live in a world where a person’s life is controlled by their credit score, and I believe that at least a senior citizen’s good credit score should be protected when they start paying off their debt. So as a senior retires, they should be able to keep their good credit score even after they pay off their debt. Instead, they lose their credit score because many seniors chose not to retire with debt. I’d rather pay in cash then to support the greedy, and I’ll consider this my discount that I get to keep because I didn’t have to pay any interest. Just something to think about.

Do You Remember When?
Do you remember when you used to swim in the river without worrying about diseases and parasites? Do you remember when kids used to be able to play out in the sunshine without having to worry about toxins in the air? Do you remember when kids used to play in the park, running barefoot on the grass without having to worry about cancers like non-hodgkin's lymphoma? Do you remember when you used to be able to see an abundance of birds, butterflies, bumblebees, dragonflies, and other God’s creatures (depending on where you live) right outside your home? Do you remember when you were able to eat seasonal fruits and veggies without worrying about salmonella? Do you remember when the moon and the stars were always visible during the summer evenings? These words, “do you remember when?” are all we are going to have to talk about if we do not support those who are fighting against the greed that is threatening to take God’s gifts away from us. God created Earth for all of us to enjoy and to be able to live on. Children around the world are worried for their and our future. Children around the world are fighting to protect us all, when it should be us adults fighting to protect our children. Children should be enjoying life and making plans for their futures. Please, do help those who are fighting the toxification of our Earth. There is a lot you can do without leaving your neighborhood. Plant a small tree Plant organic flowers for hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees. Plant an organic garden Learn to save seeds Find alternatives for the chemicals you use in your home and garden Recycle, reuse, up-cycle (make sure the item is safe to reuse) Try not to purchase unnecessary, un-recyclable items Buy secondhand Ask yourself if you can make something instead of purchasing it new Support the businesses that work to make a positive impact on climate health Try to buy locally sourced food and goods (do you remember the time when the local market employees remembered you by name, and not see you as just $$$ signs?). Etc. See how the list can grow? Sometimes small steps make a huge impact when combined with a community who work together toward the same goal. Pray for our children's futures. Save Mother Earth for our children. God Loves All His Children. |

Narcissists????
How many of you know a narcissist? I have met several narcissists in my lifetime. The ones who I have met have different personalities, none of which impressed me. I have learned not to believe anything that they say, because eventually the truth comes out. Some are sweet talkers and loving to their family only while out in public, while behind closed doors it is a whole different matter. Crying wolf for attention was not a good game that they played. They seem to have a lack of empathy, that no one matters but themselves. I’ve witness them doing something negative, and have immediately approached them about it only for them to completely deny what I myself caught them doing. The scary part, that is more unsettling, is that they seem to actually believe their own lies. Practicing to ignore a narcissist's ways is not an easy task. For those of you who do not know the meaning of narcissist, search for it online. You may also want to look up the meaning of, narcissism. God Loves All His Children. |

Debt Free
Yes, you can do it. Anyone can be debt free if they really try and learn to tell themselves that they are going to live. Stop yourself from becoming a shopaholic. Only buy what you need, not what you want. Learn to tell yourself no. Learn to tell yourself, that you can do without it. It takes time to become debt free. Once you start living and practicing to only purchase what you need, you should see your debt begin to go down. The feeling of being debt free, it’s a good freedom of choice.

The world needs lots of prayers, please don't give up on your praying for those in need. If everyone were to pray on their own time, with their own beliefs, there would be prayers being said 24/7. Keep the prayers going.
May those in the path of the tornadoes, the fires, and tragedies find safety and recovery. We pray for the lost of lives, for the strength of those left behind, and for the loved ones who are missing. Please call those who are near and dear to your heat, just to tell them that you love them. It is always nice to hear that someone is thinking of you. Remember, that many homeless in today's time are without due to tragedies. Have patience and understanding for the homeless, you never know, it could happen in your surroundings.

Hang On To The Love You Have For Your Faith,
They say another recession is coming. It’s not something anyone wants to see so soon after the last one. It looks like many leaders all over the world, are just playing a monopoly game with people’s lives. With all the homeless/starvation all over this world, we need to try our very best to protest in peace. Protest legally. Don’t allow the evilness that is out there take over your life. Just like with Mother Nature disasters, one way or another, we come through. Don’t let the evil that closes the door, keep you from the open door that God will reopen for you. Keep your faith no matter how hard the evil is trying to keep everyone from their faith. God Loves All His Children. |

You Can Do It,
Some people tend to believe that one has to be wealthy, or upper middle class to prepare their pantry and household for an emergency. Not true. Anyone can begin with small steps, even if it is one or two extra cans of food added to each shopping list. Adding to your emergency stash in small bits, should eventually increase your stockpile over time. When stocking up, think About Your Wallet and your Health. When preparing an emergency food stash, or simply stocking up your pantry, it is important to think about your health. Research foods, learn what is needed for a healthy and safe balance for yourself and your family (including your pets). Over a long period, you need to remember to balance your food products, you may not be able to live on one or two food items alone. It needs to be a daily balance of healthy food. Check the dates in your food stash and rotate/refresh as needed, and use before outdated as you replace the soon to be outdated food stash for new (this way nothing gets thrown out). You don’t want to discover the food in your emergency storage is out dated if an emergency comes unexpectedly. Think about your pets. Some pet food will expire and become stale faster then human food. Be sure you keep pet food and supplies stored appropriately. Remember important and necessary medications for you, your family, and your pets. If you’re growing, harvesting, and preserving your own foods, remember to think about what you need for that balanced, healthy diet. Research, research, and research the accurate and safe ways of preserving. There are many vital guidelines that must be followed when preserving foods in any way. God Loves All His Children. |

So many prayers are needed, for so many innocent people. Pray for peace, pray for the power of God's love to heal and bring His light to the darkness.
My mom (Minister, Patsy) raised me (Minister, C’Ann) to know who I am culturally and spiritually. Once I was old enough, I chose to keep the faith that I was born into. The same faith my mom was born into, and her mother and father were born into. My family has a long history as being Catholic. That being said, I was raised to learn and become familiar with other cultures and other faiths. My family lives in Los Angeles, CA where we are surrounded by a rich diversity of traditions from many heritages and religions. I have fallen in love with learning about and understanding practices, foods, and traditions that belong to other people, all the while holding onto and enrichening my knowledge about my own heritage and religion. It’s important to understand that when I seek to learn about another’s religion, it is simply to become informed about that religion and not to convert. I wish more parents would consider this, teaching their children to accept others for who they are and choose to worship, to teach their children to not condemn others just because those people are different. Hate is an awful thing to teach children. Demand your freedom to be who you are, and (as long as no one is harming themselves or others, which include human, animal, or nature) allow others the freedom to be who they choose to be. God Loves All His Children. |

When God Opens A Window,
So many tragedies, so many victims all around the world who need prayers, and so many survivors who need help. Help to cope, help to move forward, help to not fear tomorrow. It is so easy to lose faith when tragedy strikes, when times become dark, when the future becomes clouded and changed. I believe there is evil out there, an evil that enjoys testing and weakening our faith. Hold onto your faith like a life preserver, allow God’s love to heal and strengthen you, allow God’s grace to light your way forward. There are things that you can do today to conquer evil with good! Peacefully fight for a tomorrow that is not fearful, win for a tomorrow that is hopeful. I often change old sayings to remind me of these things, one such saying is: “When God closes a door, He opens a window,” I like to say: “When evil closes a door, God opens a window.” God Loves All His Children. |

Blackmail,
Don’t be blackmailed! Let it out, get it over with, so that it doesn’t become a bigger problem. Sometimes the fear of someone finding out about past mistakes can be a relief once you let the secretes all out. No one person is perfect. We’re human, we make mistakes. Never let anyone make you feel like you’re a bad person. Stand tall, admit to your mistakes, look forward in a positive way. Never look down at anyone just because they messed up. You never know what your future holds for you, you wouldn’t want anyone looking down at you. God Loves All His Children. |

Preparedness,
We are all, at some time or another, needing to prepare after a disaster has already hit. Mostly because Mother Nature struck. So why is it that only a few prepare ahead of time? No matter where you live, there are always some type of disasters threatening to happen. We are all being tested in one way or another. We need to prepare, today. With everything that is going on in this world, we need to prepare without fear. Think positive, think about, what if? You know where you live, you know what you need to prepare for, so prepare now. Don’t wait. You need that garden, and those who are able to, you need those chickens for their eggs. Haven’t you noticed that grocery store stock seems to be down, and just about everywhere you shop? In certain countries, people need to stand in line each day because they must live on rations. Think about alternatives, can you consider the idea of aquaponics? Rabbits? Compost? Preserving foods? Do you have a space for an indoor garden? Make sure you learn the safety and requirements of whatever you choose to include into your plan. There are many, very important, and extremely necessary guidelines that must be followed for certain DIY projects. Don’t forget to prepare for those baby pets in your lives.

Where Are Your Manners?
Is it so hard to say please, thank you, excuse me, etc? In today’s fast pace of living, with most children having both parents working, or being raised by a single parent who is working, many children are being left to raise themselves. Most schools seem to only care that children show up so that schools receive their funds for each child in attendance. Too many restrictions on children, too many demands in classrooms, some parents having no time for their children because of their own busy lives. It’s frustrating for most children in this world. Manners are left behind and forgotten. Children are just frustrated with their lives. They grow up with no manners, no respect, and anger. We need to praise our children, we need to hug our children, protect our children. If one hour a day is all you have to spend with your child, make that one hour a day special. That one hour a day may mean the world to your child. Play an old fashion board game, a card game, watch a movie on TV together. Talk with your child. Learn about your child’s favorites: colors, books, songs, food, day of the week etc. God Loves All His Children. |

Burying Your Loved Ones,
At one time or another, we have to bury someone in our life. Whether they are young or old, caused by illness or accident, anything could take your loved ones. Letting go after the burial is the hardest thing to do. For those of you who are not able to visit at their resting place, this may be the hardest thing to even think about. When you bury someone, you may promise to visit often, to lay flowers, to decorate for the holidays, or for their birthday. Sometimes, it cannot be done, because of having to move out of town. It may be due to a new job, a marriage, or a health reason. For those of you who do not know, there is a service that can clean, lay flowers, and decorate for you for a fee. Sometimes even the place of burial offers this service, all you have to do is ask. Do your research before hiring someone, and make sure this service provider is legit. Also do research on pricing. Look at reviews of the service provider you select. Ask for them to e-mail or text to you a photo of their work after they clean and/or decorate your loved one’s place of burial. This may help to ease the pain of living so far away, by having someone visit and take care of the graves of your loved ones for you when you don’t have family or friends to do it for you. God Loves All His Children. |

Sometimes things don’t go the way we’ve planned, it annoys and frustrates us. But maybe, sometimes, things have a way of turning out just the way it was supposed to.
It might be difficult to see the brighter side of things that turned out differently then we first imagined, but if we stop and try to see pass the irritation of the situation, then maybe we can see that things are just the way God intended it to be. So when things go differently then planned, take a deep breath, and instead of becoming stressed, try to find the good things in the way things turned out. Enjoy life, so long as everyone is safe and healthy, so long as there are no dangers, don’t worry about the inconvenient glitches in the planned. God Loves All His Children. |

The threat of the famine comes in different forms. Prepare and save so that you and yours can remain free.
When you have a large amount of debt, are you truly free? Or are you a servant of the creditors you owe? Working hard, and harder to catch up and pay back but never seeming to work your way out of debt because of mounting interest and maybe also of new things that you feel you must buy even while you know it will add on to your debt. Yes, you must work your way out of debt, but you must also remain devoted to paying your debt down to zero. That’s right, zero debt so that you can be free and not be a servant of the creditors. Keep zero debt so that you can work for yourself and your family, for the necessities, to save for a rainy day, to save up for the things you need, and to live a less stressful life that is free of debt. With rent getting higher and higher, and jobs becoming scarce, not having debt may help you get through these tough times. God Loves All His Children. |

Prayers for all the lives that are being taken around the world due to hate on how we look, which God we choose to believe in, and greed.
Prayers for all those in the path of the storms that are devastating the South/East of the U.S.A. For those that can, now is the time to clean out your closets, your pantries, your garages, your unneeded items and donate to those who are helping emergency shelters (do your research before you donate). Every little bit helps. God Loves All His Children. |

When In Doubt
We all have doubts in our life at some time or another. Trust is one of the biggest doubts. All I can say, is that when you have doubt, or distrust someone, use common sense. Move with caution, never with speed when it comes to a new person in your life, buying a home, new car, signing contracts (or other paperwork), loaning money, etc. Learn to say no when you have doubts about something, or take longer to research it further, this way there is no regrets. Don’t be afraid to say no, and after in-depth researching to your satisfaction, don’t be afraid to go forward. God Loves All His Children. |
Please do remember to thank the women and men in your life who are in active service/veterans , and pray for those who gave their lives for our freedom.

Never Freak Out,
Just know you tried and apologize when in need. We all make mistakes and in time people do forgive our mistakes. Just don’t make it worse by freaking out. Just calm yourself down.

Stock Up,
With this trade war that may worsen, you might want to consider stocking up on food goods and necessities. Even if you only buy made/grown in the U.S.A. (like we do), you might discover certain U.S. food goods and necessities will become difficult to find. Perhaps because the packaging is imported? Or maybe a few of the ingredients are imported? If you are able, try to start stocking up now. We do not know what the first of June is going to mean for our grocery/necessities budget. Prices may sky rocket, and/or become difficult to locate. Shop wisely. Check dates and consider how long a food good will keep before it expires. Also, consider your storage and budget limits. Don’t forget to add to your 911 savings account. God Loves All His Children. |

Some Christians do not honor Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ. I mean, people practice what they choose to practice, but I’ve often wondered about this.
Without Mary, Jesus could not have been born among us. Just something we’re thinking about this Mother’s Day and every day. Thank you Mary for Baby Jesus, know that we are remembering you this Mother’s Day and always. Have a Blessed Mother’s Day everyone! May it be a day spent with your children.

Survivor Garden,
It is so important that we all start a backyard, front yard, or patio garden. We are losing our farmers. For some, water is being held back. We are depending on imports, what happens if we can no longer import food goods. Only those who have finds might be able to buy fruits and veggies. Start your garden so that you can feed your family much needed fruit and veggies. In some areas you can have chickens (one way for you to have eggs/protein). You might even want to consider aquaponics for fish. Research and learn the correct and safe methods to add home grown food to your table. God Loves All His Children. |

Pray for those who have lost their lives due to the religion they held sacred. No one should be condemned for the religion they have chosen, and no one has the right to condemn others who do not believe in their religion.

Freedom,
Just one senseless decision can change your path on how you live. It is so easy to lose your temper and it is so easy to do something negative. If you stop and think before you make a negative move, ask yourself, why would you give up your freedom of life? Take a deep breath and tell yourself, calm yourself, don’t get upset this will all pass. This life cannot be all that bad, if you have the freedom to make that right decision. God Loves All His Children. |

Family/Friends
The love for your family sometimes hurts. The love you have for your family may be a one-way love and they don’t return the love. Sometimes a friend may be more of a family member, your friend may be more caring then a blood family member. We all need family, yet family doesn’t need to be of the same blood. Just look to a friend when in need. You never need to be alone. Also ask yourself if you are the one who has pulled away from your family members. Has someone in your family tried to reach out to you so many times, that now they have simply given up? Surround yourself with positive people and be a positive person. God Loves All His Children. |

What Is In The Name?
Why do many need to buy brand names? Not all brand name items are made well. You may be paying more for a brand name item and then find out that a friend has a similar item without the brand name, and your friend’s item is made better and/or gives them more for less cost. Think before you buy. By not buying that brand name item, you may save more then you think. Be different. You want to be liked for who you are, not because you buy brand name items or because you look like you have money. Be real, be yourself. Like yourself for who you chose to be.

Downsize,
Most are downsizing in one way or another to save. Moving into a smaller home, buying a smaller car, etc. One idea, even if you live in an average size house, is to think about your appliances. Consider buying a smaller washer, dryer, fridge, stove, oven, etc. You might find that you’ll save on utilities, and your food budget. There will be no room to over buy food that is destined to become lost in the big fridge and go bad. Smaller appliances could also save on space, give a more spacious washroom and kitchen. Not all small appliances have high price tags. If you shop around and do some research, you may find good low prices. If you buy online, make sure it is from a trusted retailer, and see if there is a free shipping and handling option. Save, save for that retirement! God Loves All His Children. |

Hate????
God Loves All His Children. We are all God’s children. We are all created in his likeness. So what makes a person think that he/she is better and more superior than others? Just because of the color of his/her skin, or the God he/she believes in, or the lifestyle he/she chooses to live. We all need to stand against hate. Love is stronger than hate! Let us pray for those who died in the name of hate, and for those who have to live with the pain of having lost a loved one because of hate. Let us pray for the haters, to truly find the meaning of God, and to see that they would not like to be harmed in the way they are harming others, nor would not like to feel the pain that they are causing to others.

It’s Tax Time!
How many of you did your tax return? How many are going to wait till April 15th? For you who are getting a refund, try to save for that rainy day or for that end of the year shopping. We used our tax return to place on our utility account for the coming year. Once a year, we estimate how much our utility bill will be for the coming year, then we go in person to pay so that we receive a physical receipt for our records. Each bi-month, our bill comes and shows how much credit remains after deductions. This way, I only have to think about the utility bill once a year. It’s nice to have that extra cash each bi-monthly billing, to add to a savings account or buy a needed item. Think about how you can use your tax return in ways that may save you through the year.

Recycle, Reuse, Up-cycle, Donate
Sometimes we hang onto the things we don’t need any more just so that we have them if some day we may need them again. Sometimes we stock up on things because we found them at a good price. Unless it is truly an emergency stash, or an item that cannot easily be replaced at a later date, or something that is valuable to your heart, then ask yourself if you really need the items that clutter your house and yard. Consider recycling or donating before trashing, perhaps even up-cycle old items to keep, gift, or donate. Ask yourself if everything in your house is safe to keep for you, your family, pets, and the environment. If not, find an alternative if it is a necessity item, then evict the hazardous item’(s) from your home. Take your time and research what you are replacing, to make sure it is truly a safe replacement for your home. God Loves All His Children. |

Procrastinators, Why?
A big percentage of people have this problem, and we (Ministers Patsy and C’Ann) are included. Don’t know why, when we stress ourselves out by being procrastinators. You think we would learn. When you do find extra time, take the time to finish or work on tasks early and be relieved that it is done or closer to being finished without the stress. We know what you’re thinking, while it should seem simple to continue on with this plan after giving it a try and enjoying the relief, you instead go back to your procrastinator ways and wonder why you’re a procrastinator. Why? God Loves All His Children. |

Garden To Your Heart’s Content
May God bless all you gardeners and farmers to find ways to help your gardens and farms through this cruel, wet, freezing weather. For those of you who are new to gardening, remember that there are ways to garden indoors with outdoor light through windows, electric lamps, plant heaters, and the right soil. Just research through books or online, you’ll be amazed with what you will find on how-to without spending a lot of money. God Loves All His Children. |

Don't Mind The Little Things, Life Is More Important
Our apologies for being away this month. Illness took over our household. Thank the Lord that we all have recovered. We pray for those to recover from what illnesses they may be fighting. We had no time this month to take down our Christmas decorations, to keep house, to attend to minor tasks. Things that used to bother us, we realized they were not so important. So, we have a little dust bunnies here and there, our health is great and that's all that matters. A Lesson learned. We have learned and have been reminded, that our lives and health are more important, and being around your loved ones. This was the worse that have ever struck our household. We pray for good health from here on, for all. Remember to call your loved ones if you haven't heard from them. May you all have a healthy 2019. God Loves All His Children. |

Feed God's Wildlife,
For those of you who have a yard, or a patio, even a small space where you can set up feeders for wildlife. It is so cold and hard to find food right now, so if we give a helping hand to God's creatures, you never know how many creatures you might save by adding just one feeder. In our yard, we feed wild birds, squirrels, and raccoons. Just watching these creatures play and feed is so amazing and beautiful. We find it relaxing, that it relieves stress, and banishes negativity. For those of you who need a peace of mind, give it a try. It's funny, if we don't find the time to feed them for one week, they literally come to our door knowing the food comes from inside. God Loves All His Children. |
