Keeping On Target

Saturday, November 27, 2010

This morning I was reading "Secrets to Success" and I thought, why not submit one, I've been wanting to do this for a long time but never did, that is until today... hope it helps you to stay motivated in your journey of success...

I find when I am going through a tough time, I remember this is all but a moment, I re-focus and keep my eyes on the finishing line, each time I take my focus off the negative I gain ground, and keep on track. It is far easier to meet your goals when you stay focused on the finishing line rather on the negative!

Philippians 4:13
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Don't Forget Jesus-Poem

Friday, November 26, 2010

Christmas is a special time
To reflect on Jesus Christ
The wonder of His lowly birth
Brings meaning to our lives

There really is no other reason
We celebrate this day
The birth of God’s precious son
And the life He willingly gave

But so much seems to distract us
In the busy-ness of our lives
We lose our focus in all the happenings
Not knowing, we leave out Christ

We lose sight of the true meaning
As we endlessly rush about
Trying to find that perfect gift
Seems to cloud our Saviour out

We need to stop and reflect awhile
Remembering our precious Lord
His birth, His life and sacrifice
And all that He stands for

For though the world may celebrate
It seems though for other reasons
Let’s keep in mind that Jesus Christ
Is the true meaning of the season

November's Snowfall 2010

Thursday, November 25, 2010

Today it has been snowing mainly all day. I woke up to the snow falling at 5 this morning. It's pretty but it means this gal is not going out for a day or so. I have to get snow tires on my power chair, I just found out that snow tires are now available for all wheelchairs and power scooter chairs. Awesome...This will make my life so much easier.

I took some photo's earlier when the snow was coming down, my front yard has quite a accumulation all over the patio, front circular drive and my shrubbery is covered so are all the trees. Quite pretty, as I write I hear the snow-plough in the background so I guess the management of the complex is clearing the snow. This is good.

Usually here in BC we don't get snow on the lower mainland until later in December so having snow in November is quite unusual. We always have snow on the mountains but not down here in the lower elevations.

I'm sharing a photo here but will post 2 or 3 more in my photo album.

Hope you enjoy, God's Blessings on your day and evening...

The ABCs of Friendship

Wednesday, November 24, 2010

Accepts you as you are
Believes in "you"
Calls you just to say "HI"
Doesn't give up on you
Envisions the whole of you (even the unfinished parts)
Forgives your mistakes
Gives unconditionally
Helps you
Invites you over
Just to "be" with you
Keeps you close at heart
Loves you for who you are
Makes a difference in your life
Never Judges
Offers support
Picks you up
Quiets your fears
Raises your spirits
Says nice things about you
Tells you the truth when you need to hear it
Understands you
Values you
Walks beside you
eXplains things you don't understand
Yells when you won't listen, and
Zaps you back to reality

The True Meaning Of Christmas

Sunday, November 21, 2010



Jesus Christ was born this day
So many years before
He came a servant to the lost
Though he was Lord of Lords

We celebrate this joyous time
Reflecting on His birth
Not born in a mansion, but a stable
As if He had no worth

He came so He could identify
With the human heart of man
And gave His life as a sacrifice
Offering a better plan

A plan that reconciles us back
To our loving Father God
Bringing hope and redemption from
Sins ruling iron rod

For this is the only reason that we
Should celebrate this day
To become focused on anything else
Would take the meaning away

So let’s arise with joy in our hearts
And share it with everyone
The meaning of Christmas will always be
The birth of Jesus – God’s son
