HandBook for Life ;]]

I found this in my devotion this morning and thought it was pretty neat.
I thought Id share it with you; it's good food for thought. :)
*and post it on my blog, so I wouldn't  forget ;]]*

Your Health:
•Drink plenty of water.

•Eat breakfast like a king; lunch like a prince, and dinner like a beggar.

•Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants, and less food that's manufactured in plants.

•Live by the THREE E's - Energy, Enthusiasm, and Empathy.

•Make time to pray daily

•Play games

•Read more books than you did last year

•Sit in silence beginning with 5 minutes daily

•Sleep for at least 7 hours

•Take a 10 to 30 minute walk 2-3 times a week and smile at strangers


Your Personality:
•Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what they're experiencing in life.

•Don't hold negative thoughts about things you can't control. Rather, utilize your energy toward positive thoughts.

•Excess in anything is not healthy. Limited amounts of anything are better.

•Don't take yourself too seriously. Others probably don't.

•Stay away from gossip, which will get you into trouble.

•Take time to dream a little while you're awake.

•Don't dwell on envy which is a waste of energy. Enjoy what you already have, and the priceless gifts God has given to you.

•Forget things of the past. You can't change what's happened. The best tonic is "forgive and forget".

•You are the only one who can control your happiness. Don't be bitter. Life is way too short.

•Good or bad, life is simply a pool of experiences. Learn from life's lessons. The problems will appear and eventually fade away.

•Smile and laugh more. It's actually good for your health.

•Remember, it's not necessary to attend the invitation to argue


Society:

•Call family members more often

•Daily, do something good to or for others

•This may be tough, but forgive everyone for everything. It's best for your health.

•Spend time with elderly people and young children.

•Make three people smile each day.

•What other people think of you is our of your control and not your concern.

•Stay in touch with friends and loved ones. They are the ones who will care for you when you are sick

Life:

•Always do what's best. Do the right thing.
Eliminate anything that isn't useful, beautiful, or joyful.

•Remember, God does heal everything, but it happens on His clock.

•No matter the situation, good or bad, it will eventually change.

•Regardless of how you feel, get up, dress up, and show up.

•When you wake up in the morning, thank God for doing so.

•Your Inner Spirit always remains happy. May this be your focus.

•Keep all these thoughts in mind, and the BEST IS YET TO COME!



"And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."
Romans 12:2

Day 02: A picture of you and the person you have been closest with the longest..

30 Day Challenge in Pictures

Sister Gayla Champlain and myself

Day 2 is a picture of you and the person you have been closest with the longest..

 
I and Sis Gayla Champlain (Our Pastors wife) met when we were young (I was 14 she may have been 15). We went to the same church in Roseville, CA, as young people. She was raised in the Pentecostal way being 3rd maybe 4th generation in her family. We became very good (best) friends. She invited me to her home many times. As a matter of fact she was a BIG factor in praying me threw to the Holy Ghost for the first time, speaking in other tongues.
When she married, a few years later her and her husband decided to take up their three very young children and attend Bible College to start a work in the ministry... It was a very sad day for my husband and I (we were good buddies as couples, visiting and fellowship-ing with them often), but we said our good-byes :(
Years later, never realizing this would come to pass...  we met up again in the church they began. My family is now under Pastor Champlain's ministry... It wasn't hard to consider him as our pastor because he was already a great friend. Isn't it beautiful how God works...

So she has been with me since I first came to God (church), 29 years... longer than half my life

*SWEEET*
