Godly Living: Age 50+

The scripture lets us know that the latter will be greater than the past....

Hag. 2:9 What a beautiful feeling to be 50, half a century as my granddaughter would say. I used to think that 50 was old, it truly is a blessing. I take nothing for granted anymore. There was a time when I did. I used to say I, I, I, but I've come to know it's not me, but God. It's God who gets me up every morning! It's God who keeps me! Ps. 121:5 It's God who is my Provider! Shall I go on? I have a girlfriend who was upset when she turned 30, so imagine how she felt when she became 50. We have to be thankful, because tomorrow is not promised to anyone.

Grandmother Dearest

"Everytime A Child Is Born, A Grandparent Is Born Too" (gpfound@grandparenting.org)

I just love spending time with my grands. The joy of being grandparents! As grandparents we want to protect our grandchildren, just as we protected our children from the wicked ways of the world. Parents plant the seed in teaching them morals, ethics and spiritual beliefs. Grandparents have an extra quality that complement these teachings, it has a longer view of life.

My grandchildren are my heaven here on earth. When I'm away from them more than a day, they will call to tell me they miss me, and ask when are you coming home? When I'm sick, just to see their faces, and hear them say Maw-Maw are you okay? I'm praying for you. To hear them say Maw-Maw I love you and to give me a kiss each and everyday. Now do you see why they're my Heaven on Earth?

Splenda vs. Sugar

When I was first diagnosed with diabetes, I was in denial. I would not repeat to anyone that I was a diabetic. I finally came to my senses, and did what I had to do to take care of myself. The bible tells us that with His stripes we are healed. Isa. 53:5 I know now I must take my medicine, check my sugar levels daily, and see my physician regularly.

Three Reasons Why Splenda is Better Than Sugar:
1. Splenda doesn't increase blood glucose levels.
2. Splenda is a sugar substitute.
3. Splenda cuts calories in our daily diet.

Training To Be A Church Mother

What an honor to be considered a church mother. There is much to be learned, but with time and the Lord's help I know I can do all things. Phil 4:13
I did not expect to have this calling on my life, but I thank Pastor Bryant for his foresight.
