ASPIRE TO A VISION

A scene in the movie Karate Kid was quite striking. Daniel went to see Mr. Miyagi and found him trimming a delicate bonsai tree. Daniel was fascinated and wanted to try it, but he had no idea how it was done. Miyagi told him to close his eyes and picture in his mind the way he wanted the tree to look. After Daniel found that vision in his mind, Miyagi told him to open his eyes and start trimming the tree. Daniel's every move was deliberate and focused. Then he stopped. He asked, "How do I know if my picture is right?" Miyagi replied, "If the picture comes from your heart, then it must be right. Just trust your picture."

Changes in our personal attitudes and behavior are difficult. However, change is possible if we aspire to a vision. Moses didn't think of liberating the Israelite slaves in Egypt until his experience with God and the burning bush. Paul didn't believe in Jesus until he received a vision while on his journey to Damascus. Martin Luther King, Jr. gave himself to the Civil Right Movement because he had a dream of equality.

Prayer: Lord, help us vision our changes, and change to achieve our vision, for the enrichment of our marriages, our health, and our quality of life. Amen.

Believe and heed his word

2Ch 20:4 And Judah gathered themselves together, to ask [help] of the LORD: even out of all the cities of Judah they came to seek the LORD.

by seeking him we can effect the changes for the enrichment of our lives.

He Who blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - may He bless the fighters of the Israel Defense Force, who stand guard over our land and the cities of our G-d from the border of the Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea unto the approach of the Aravah, on the land, in the air, and on the sea.

May HASHEM cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before them. May the Holy One, Blessed is He, preserve and rescue our fighting men from every trouble and distress and from every plague and illness, and may He send blessing and success in their every endeavor.

May He lead our enemies under their sway and may He grant them salvation and crown them with victory. And may there be fulfilled for them the verse: For it is Hashem, your G-d, Who goes with you to battle your enemies for you to save you.

G-d bless and keep your children safe, Alouette.

Well, who didn’t see this coming?

All people who run for public office HAVE to be aware that
everything they have ever said or done can and will be held
against them...without fail! I just hope his skeletons aren’t
rattling too hard!

[ConorMacNessa]

A Blessed Lord's Day to you, ML!

Good Evening, My Friend!

HI D LUVVY! *hgus*

You are absolutely correct!

On the other hand, if he had a D behind his name, whatever they are insinuating (or perhaps there IS something there) would be a resume enhancement!

[Kathy in Alaska]

These are all the same “people” who hate Sarah. It is against the law to leak anyone’s personnel file, yet that has already been done. They HATE Joe so badly, and are so nasty, hateful, and law breaking, that they resort to this. If the Alaska Supreme Court goes along with lawbreaking, Alaska is lost.

And I have come to HATE Murkowski....she is a lying, cheating, backstabbing RINO!! She is even running Ted Stevens’ ads. I am sure that they were made for the primary elections only, and mere words cannot express my disgust with the lefties up here, as well as her.

OK....no more politics for me today. I am sick to my stomach at what is happening.
