Golden Nuggets
Golden Nuggets has been no
accident, Better Tomorrows was meant to be, Golden Nuggets was actually being constructed
years before it actually was put before the public, I remember disciples’
standing at my desk, seeing the Devotional charts, I was asked more than once
what I was going to do with all those devotions. To be honest, I did not have
any solid plan, per-say, I mean, I try to post the best here and at other sites
some written by myself ..LOL…. However I have often said, I can’t speak for
other people, as for me I just Love The Lord, I listen to messages (Sermons), I
read devotions and even when I worked ten hours a day I would listen before I
went to work and when I came back home and would take CD’s with me now there is
MP3, 4 player when they come out with the MP222 I will probably I thinking that
one will anticipate what you want to hear and play it, could happen. You see
the advantage of a person like myself is you will not read something here that
is not supported by the word of God. In order for me to be able to do that, I
have to know the word of God.
If you have been around a while,
you might remember that when I was at the other house the people that rented in
the back kept jacking with the electric, I had a back-up generator but I guess
when I set it up I was not paying attention, there were plugs for the
generator, also plugs that dealt with surge protection, etc, etc. point is I plugged
it in the wrong plug so a computer can only be shut down inappropriately so
many times before it has the ability to fry your hard drive, so that is what
happen and because I was confident nothing would ever happen to my computer I
didn’t bother backing up the 65 thousand some old documents, although that
is not the first time
I lost data, I thought no biggie, for the ones I lost I wrote, I can just
rewrite no big deal they will be better than before hehe…
The papers to be real, has been
all about growing in our relationship with God, nothing more, nothing less. Even
before my illness became real bad I used to write devotions, if you saw me out
and about without a tablet and bible it was very unusual, I read and listen to
sermons, devotions etc. all the time. Sometimes I share the best ones, although
what is great about Ministry is there are Ministers I listen to all the time
that share in-depth study on genealogy, the people in the Bibles life
experience, it is more than that they share in a whole different light the development,
if you will, gives one a greater insight to the scriptures, so much valuable
information that if you study the Bible a lot, this kind of, put into place
some of the day and times of the person wrote about. I think there are a few of
those speakers linked on Better Tomorrows main site, They are gift studied, blessed
Ministers. To be honest this coming year I would like to make a list that is a
continual thing, I read a massive amount of Christian material.
I can’t remember if I shared
this, although, if I did not, Golden Nuggets was a at Bible study, at my church
was one of the disciples read a verse that meant something to them and shared a
short description of what that verse meant in their life. When I chose to add
different devotions on the Better Tomorrows site, I thought this would be a
great addition called “Golden Nuggets.” I do have to admit I have kind of mixed
everything up, based solely upon my health sometimes I can sit here at the desk
even if it is short lived. There are times however when that is not so for
periods of time. Also I manage more than a few sites so there is always a lot
of work to get completed. I love it though, I love talking to people from all
over the globe, one country that comes to mind is India, I get instant messages
all the time from people there, I am greatly blessed talking to other believers
around the world.
My
Kite
My
Faith is a kite That
soars so high, It
cannot be seen By
the naked eye. It carries me with it, Above the veil, Sloughing
my pain With its dancing tail,
Searching my paths, Where the Sants
have trod, Yearning to land In the hand of God. --Diantha Ain
**Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where
moth and
rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves
treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not
destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be
also. --Matthew
6:19-21
**Trust in the Lord with all your Heart and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways Acknowledge HIM, and He will
make your path straight. ---Proverbs 3:5,6. (NIV.)
Prayer of Saint Francis
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace;
Where
there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon:
Where there is doubt, faith ;
Where there is despair, hope
Where there is darkness, light
Where there is sadness, joy
O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to
console;
to be understood, as to understand;
to be
loved, as to love; for it is in giving that we receive, it is
in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life. Amen.
