It was also powerful over 2000 years ago.  Human desire is to be loved and accepted by someone. Do you open your heart to others different from you? Acceptance implies an ability to listen and be open.   While you desire that of others, do you in turn offer it to others?   Listening to another persons point of view does not imply you must alter yours. Listening is simply listening and acknowledging to that person that you are attentively hearing what they say.  From this perspective it allows you to accept people for who they are with out judgement. There are people of other cultures,

As kids, those card houses never stood long either. I borrowed the cards from another blog. You may click them to visit it. God will continue to work around us and sometimes we end up going places the wrong direction but it is needed to get back to Him. In other words, there are some experiences we are to have to learn who we are. Only then will we discover the direction for our lives. In these wiser years I am beginning to be very hesitant on pushing ahead with any ideas before praying about it.  Best to turn to Him before doing anything. You do not want to build another house of cards. God is needed for the foundation of everything we do. Words of my heart, Laurie A Texas Artist Laurie

Laurie " Because of this, in fact, I suffer as I do. But I am not ashamed, because I know the one in whom my faith is set and I am convinced that he is able to protect what has been entrusted to me until that day." Timothy 1:12 When I woke up with a leg cramp at 3:30 this morning, in my prayer time I came across the thought of... Are you a participant or a victim? Okay, so those are weird thoughts for that time of wee hours, yet when I think of living life as a believer I am a participant in God's plan. I am never a victim.

In our lives God definitely confronts each of us with adverse circumstances....are you a participant or a victi

Grazing Longhorn Longhorn Painting by Laurie Justus Pace 22 x 28 inches Oil on Canvas Contact me for details: Laurie My eyelids are propped open with toothpicks. Sleep deprivation is not my friend. Between the harsh rains, my hubby jumping in and out of bed and my dad up and down, it did not provide much time to sleep. This is a short blog. My Mom is having tests this morning and we are scrambling to care for Dad, the dog at his house and getting ready for shipping. My brother Bill picked up my dad to take him to the hospital. I will join them after Time Warner Cable finished repairs this morning for my slow lines, broken phones and not working TV cable. Not working cable, not working phones, not working lights in my house, not working eyes... hummm, that brings me into lines of thoughts of NEVERTHELESS God will provide. He always does. Despite our grief and pressured situations, God prevails. Nevertheless, he always comes through with the change that shall be. Grace, Laurie “But
