THERE IS BEAUTY, EVEN ON GRAY DAYS! JUST LOOK UP!

During my lunch stroll, I normally marvel at the crunchy leaves, enjoy these New England homes and interesting roof tops, busy birds and rushing traffic. But on this particular day as I was nearing closer to my destination of returning to the church's door-where I work, I could see the bright red leaves of a tree that grows brighter with each cold day! The weather does not deter it's strength or beauty. For a moment I stood still and just gazed at the leaves, stood as close to the tree's trunk as I could and simply was amazed at the majesty of this vision and thought to myself that God's paint brush is divine. I looked up and appreciated the gray sky's backdrop and the beautiful landscape of the autumn bliss. Lord we thank you! Friends just look-up! There is beauty all around you!

Shared with a Transparent Heart,

WE WERE MADE FOR AMAZING THINGS!

“Set out each day believing in your dreams.

Know without a doubt that you were made for amazing things.”
—Josh Hinds; motivational speaker, author
The values we live by are worth morewhen we pass them on.
©2009 Values.com

Yes, yes that’s the truth Josh Hinds (hands up, high five) we were made for amazing things. You must have met Jaynee’s bright, bubbly children? The Holy Ghost has once again demonstrated another spiritual lesson through Jaynee’s gifted children and The Foundation For A Better Life's selected quote from the motivational speaker Mr. Josh Hinds.

These youngsters were recently featured on the Richmond’s lifestyle news cover of Urban Views Weekly. They are celebs, yes; super stars, and it’s evident. Remember God brings home his point however he chooses. I’d like to think that Julian and Tamara are our pin-up’s for FAITH IN ACTION! Their conversations exude greatness. After happily chatting with them about their debut cover they and their Mom consented to my taking their picture of them holding the news paper. we all giggled and celebrated at the irony of this moment. Imagine it starts as thought-a vision, a "what if" ! Don't you see it? I know you do! Their photo expresses God’s character and essence. It’s as though their smiles are saying, “See what happens when you trust and believe God?”

Indeed, blessings and dreams do materialize for all of us and even spill over into the lives of others. Think of the bucket filled with water that usually splashes out as you walk ackwardly which then leaves a trail of water. Same principles applies with our faith journey. The water can’t be contained, your feet, the ground, the floor, the dog, wherever you are moving benefits and experiences the water fall or spill. As Hinds states we were made for amazing things and the domino effect begins. Our water shed experiences touch and impact many circles-circles and lives we’re not even aware of. The world has the opportunity to witness and contemplate God’s favor.

So, what are you believing God for?

Can it happen?

Scripture assures us of that in due season it surely can and will!

But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered

into the heart of man,

the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
1 Corinthians 2: 9

Tamara & Julian are living proof that the combination of faith and confidence produce outstanding results. Thanks for the divine confirmation kids, we’ll apply your school of thought. Come on friends, let’s get busy and watch God do even greater things for us and our generations to come!



“Hey where’s my Urban Views? “Wait kids, I’m next in line for your autographs, sign right here please! “
