Dreams

Leave Things A Little Better Than You Found Them

A Dream can have but a few definitions, although some speculate otherwise, for years we wrote to kids to not allow their dreams to die whereas they related to their vision in career, education or personal growth. But to strengthen those dreams with the goals that will make them a reality. Every time you accomplish one set another to be achieved. Often-times if you set small goals to get the largest one accomplished, you find it easier and easer to make them will become a reality in your life. Investigate the smaller one (Those Goals.), that will make the larger one work. The message is clear, if you strive to be a step better, you will starts thinking more like a successful person regardless your age. I spent three ½ years in a theoretic back brace after a robbery of a business, most people do not know what that is, but have you ever seen a corset. If you have seen the New Titanic with Leonardo De`Caprio it was a great movie of a tragic time in our history. But woman then used corset’s under the clothing, well, that is kind of the same concept, however the theoretic brace comes from the edge of the scull to about half way down one’s back side. Totally none-motion with the spine, The Neurologists idea was in placing me in the brace it would allow the nerves to heal, it didn’t work, although I am sure had I not spent those three and a half years in that brace I would not be function-able at all today. It is meant to keep the back completely immobile while the, for me, the nerves did not fully heal. I would volunteer at a church center so I was not turning into a person, once out of the brace, unable to move at all. We met this man at the center, By the way these people at the Redemptorist Church Center taught me a valuable lesson, 

Their passion for helping those less fortunate than themselves changed my life in a number of ways. They gave the world the deepest expression of God’s Love to the point of dedication unlike I had ever witnessed a Service to people five to six days a week, each and every week. We met this man who had served in the military when joining was a state requirement War was a greater presence than ever before in history. After the war he went to work to support his biological family, later married and raised children of his own. In all his accomplishments he always longed to finish school, his education had always taken a back seat to the greater responsibilities. Now 69-years-old he said, “If I could make this achievement, I would be very happy.” With some dedicated Christians He was able to meet that goal, the day he walked up to get a G.E.D. certificate and later an honorable degree, those single acts made him feel very accomplished.

Now if a man can finally take time to learn what he chose making his dream a reality, what you could do with a little desire and direction..?
Many, many things, start making your goals a reality today, Seek God’s guidance for He Loves You More than Life…

Remember this the greatest obstacle often is our own self, Reaching your dreams may take a lot of effort but let not small things drive you away from chieving the smaller goals that will lead to the one you desire, You can do it!   Wohali Better Tomorrows

If you have been wondering what is going on, well it is about this, I have been with Lycos a very, very long time, we used to use a zine before and MSN that seemed like yesterday and yet it has been some years ago. If anyone is to blame it is me, because when I could have set up some kind of product pages even a year ago, it would have altered the possibility we might have to change our address. Now, should this happen it will be right on the same site. Just a different ending address, seriously we need a .com address I would have bought one back in eighty-five but I did not think I would be around, (I would be alive.), The doctor’s predicted I would have been past tense, shoot they thought my system would shut down by the end of the year 2001… I have always said, “By The Grace of God. ... I am still here…” I think was the year 2000 or 2001.. sometime my memory plays tricks on me, regardless, I learned that none of us a guaranteed tomorrow, yet we should build our Better Tomorrows by our actions today. Reality is only God know when we will come and go from this existence. I know I could have organ failure, or so the neurologists have told me for years, but those were the same guys that predicted I would have passed away long ago. Organ failure or not I used to live under the influence any time it could be my last year, which is a hard way to live. I count my Blessings, I love that song, “Count your blessing count them one by one see what God has done.” I put the song and Author at the end of this devotional. Regardless what happens in regards to my health either way God is the started and completer of all things. To be honest, I never predicted my own self that Better Tomorrows, Crimes Against Children, Serenity Unveiled or Golden Nuggets would become by any efforts upon my part, for it is through the strength and power of God that allows these arthritic finger continue to type the devotionals on all sites. My goal is to make the world a safer place for children as the direction of the Lord provides. I will continue to manage Better Tomorrows, Serenity Unveiled and Golden Nuggets until it is time to place someone as the new manager of it’s papers. It would help us tremendously however especially in our efforts with Crimes Against Children if you would think about purchasing a few items on our products sheets some of the gifts n the Better Tomorrows home page supporting Crimes Against Children, I know not what the future will hold but none of us are promised tomorrow, moreover I know the one who does know our destiny, what we are promised is an everlasting life of Joy with The Creator of all things.

Count Your Blessings:

When upon life’s billows you are tempest tossed,
When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost,
Count your many blessings, name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.

Refrain

Count your blessings, name them one by one,
Count your blessings, see what God hath done!
Count your blessings, name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.
Are you ever burdened with a load of care?
Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear?
Count your many blessings, every doubt will fly,
And you will keep singing as the days go by.

Refrain

When you look at others with their lands and gold,
Think that Christ has promised you His wealth untold;
Count your many blessings. Wealth can never buy
Your reward in heaven, nor your home on high.

Refrain

So, amid the conflict whether great or small,
Do not be disheartened, God is over all;
Count your many blessings, angels will attend,
Help and comfort give you to your journey’s end.

Refrain
