For Joyce & Kenny

There is a poem by Maya Angelou titled In and Out of Time . Kenny & Joyce...such a story that I have know knowledge of but what I do know is that they loved each other, in and out of time. The first time I heard the poem I thought, "wow what beautiful words." Just words...with know meaning, I thought. When I saw him with Joyce again after more than 20 years, of being cities and states apart, I was happy. Even though I was just a child when Kenny left I always knew the two of them together was bread and butter. So good together so bland apart. Joyce went home in May. Last week Kenny followed her. Now somewhere in time they are together again. Loving each other still. Hummm.... In and out of time. When GOD speaks we should listen. Things are working together. What things? I do not know but Joyce & Kenny are proof that things are always working. At some point when we turn the wrong way because those things are working together GOD moves. I am so glad Kenny & Joyce

Thank GOD for Memories

Do what GOD called us to do. Sounds so easy... I remember having nothing better  to do but sit outside with granddad. So boring, I thought. At times having nothing more to do and certainly nothing more was expected of me. I need a job, I would think. Surely my job would be me doing what Mary Tyler Moore did on TV. At some point I'd toss my hat in the air. Day dreams to say the least. So boring, I thought. Funny how life changes. I cannot count the number of times, this past year (alone) that I've wished I could go back and do that very thing...Sit with granddad in the yard, looking at and listening to the wind move through the leaves and branches of the trees, in Gould, Arkansas. Great path to be on and a bad path to get off. Thank GOD for the memories because GOD's grace allowed those memories to bring such peace, in the midst of a storm, in my life. trishsmith87 https://www.pinterest.com/trussell2000biggmailcom/

Sharing Thoughts

Now days it's hard not to offend someone by expressing ones opinion. However, who listens to someone who agrees with everything they hear? So I am daring to be different, again. Today I have seen something on TV that I have never seen before. All I am thinking is, look and see the work of GOD. It requires a great deal of understanding for me to wrap my head around global warming and or climate change. Moreover global warming and or climate change causing a hurricane that is covering much of the state of Florida, blows my mind . Whether it is global warming or climate change GOD is in charge of it all. trishsmith87

How to Hold on

Sometimes life can get in the way of our fun. We have to always remember faith is never seen by the one that has faith until an appointed time controlled by GOD. How to increase faith : trust GOD, close the door of fear, close the door of doubt. Open our mind, heart, body, and spirit to JESUS Christ. Leave it open.   This special place will seem empty. It won't seem like anything is happening. It's in this place that we seek GOD. We grow in Christ in this empty place. Try one more time. Prepare as much as you can for everything, and show up, one more time. GOD will do the rest.     TrishSmith87
