Considering our ways

Now this is what the LORD Almighty says:

"Give careful thought to your ways".

Haggai 1:5

Let Us Consider Our Ways
What are we doing with our life?
Are our years well spent or a waste?
Are we thankful for the abundance of life God has
given us, or are we thoughtless?
Do our lives reflect the glory of our Creator?
But even more importantly,
are we living all the possible dimentions of life?

We share with all humanity, and origin in the dust,
and to that dust we shall return.
But there is more to living than that.
"I am come," Jesus said, "that they may have
life, and that they might have it more abundantly."

"I am crucified with Christ:
nevertheless I live: yet not I, but Christ liveth in me:
and the life which I now live in the flesh
I live by the faith of the Son of God,
who loved me, and gave himself for me."
Galations 2:20

The gift of eternal life, which Christ came to give,
begins here and now.
It adds to life's meaning and purpose,
giving courage, hope and peace.
We no longer live, but Christ lives in us ~
the life we live in our body, we live by faith
in the Son of God.
Then, and only then, are we really alive.
Great is the possession of this life
when living for the Lord!

"Let us search and try our ways,
and turn again to the Lord."
Lamentations 3:40

Why is it we often seem to get bored?
Each day is like a replica of the previous one.
We work, we eat, we sleep,
and we get up and do it over and over again.
We sometimes get in a rut and life becomes boring
and uninteresting to us.
This could quite possibly become a problem.
Perhaps when this happens, we need to
take a look at our life-style and ourself.

Let us not forget why we are here.
God wants us where we are because He has a
special job for each and everyone of us to do.
So when you are bored, forget "self" ~
turn to the Cross of love,
because there, full life was made possible for you.
The Cross is the answer to life's boredom.
It's vertical bar points us to God,
and it's horizontal bar points us to others.

We are alive!
And great is the possession of life ~
our first and most precious gift from God.
To feel the sunshine warm on your skin, or the
coolness of the rain; the gentleness of the wind
blowing through your hair;
to glory in a sunset or a smile of a loved one;
to relax in utter weariness,
to eat and drink, to talk and laugh, and even to cry ~
all of this is life. All this is God's gift to us.

Let us consider our ways ~
God is considerate to us in all ways!
"This is a faithful saying, and these things I will
that thou affirm constantly,
that they which have believed in God might be
careful to maintain good works.
These things are good and profitable unto men."
Titus 3:8

Heavenly Father,
as we start our new week, with what seems to be a routine,
please help to remind us of why we are here
and help us to consider our ways.
Lord, keep our faith strong and focused on You
in all that we do.
Empower us by Your Word and sacraments to live
always for You.
In Jesus' Precious Name we prayerfully ask.

AMEN.

I hope these word have been a blessing

to you as it has been to me

The Gospel is for everyone !!!

As followers of Christ we sit in our Church in Sunday morning and as we listen to the Gospel of Jesus Christ our Saviour being taught by our Pastor . I know these words have come out of your mouth . "I wish so and so were here because they really need that message". What we don't realise is that that message was for you at that very moment . The Lord made it so that you where sitting there at that time in that place to listen to those words . So at that moment those words were for you and for those around you .

But as we walk out of service we must at all times practice that same positive thing we heard by the word of God in Sunday morning service . Most of the time we don't even share it with our neigh boor with our friends with our family members . Some of us feel so special about knowing about the word of God that we don't want certain people to know it because they do not deserve it .

"The Gospel of Jesus Christ is for everyone "

So sad it is as we have made ourselves believe that all we need is material things like a nice car nice house nice children nice husband and even going out to eat has become a priority in our life . It becomes sad as we see those things fade away and we no longer have the house and the car or the nice husband or the nice kids etc . What are we left with ?. People who believe that is of high importance think they are left alone with nothing . But they have not realized that the word of God is eternal , It is the road map to a happy and successful life in all areas . So I go back to say to you the Gospel is for everyone .

The Gospel is for the neighbor you dislike for the mom you can't get along with is for the person next to you at your office you can't stand is for the husband you can't understand is for your kids to grow up ,is for you, is for you, is for you .

The empowering word of Jesus Christ lives inside of us . I only think we aren't listening or we are straight out lazy. Oh we say to each other as long as my children know about the Lord is OK , As long as mu husband knows is OK , As long as my wife knows ETC. You couldn't be more wrong.

Choices , Choices, Choices so many we have to make but we usually don't carry out what the lord intents us to do . I would like for you to consider today the Gospel of Jesus Christ to make awesome choices in your life .Good choices are based up on having already established priorities in your life .

The Parable of the Rich Fool

Luke 12 : 13-21

Someone in the crowd said to him, "Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me."
Jesus replied, "Man, who appointed me a judge or an arbiter between you?" Then he said to them, "Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions."
And he told them this parable: "The ground of a certain rich man yielded an abundant harvest. He thought to himself, 'What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.'
"Then he said, 'This is what I'll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store my surplus grain. And I'll say to myself, "You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry." '
"But God said to him, 'You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?'
"This is how it will be with those who store up things for themselves but are not rich toward God."

The main story here is the use of money but he failed to priorities and by doing that he made wrong choices putting self destructive behaviour in front of him . Just like we do everyday thinking about I , I , I , what about me , what about what I want . This mans thinking like many of us think I will just live life and be marry who cares as long as I'm a good person . Personal pleasure was the main important thing in this parable . Do you find yourself feeling this way ?. I know I have , But stopping your self from making the same choices over and over again make a difference in your life . I would like to encourage you today to try making up with the Lord of your wrong choices and find your priorities for you and for your family . Making the Gospel of Jesus Christ your priority is a start.

Galatians 6 :7-10

Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. People reap what they sow. Those who sow to please their sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; those who sow to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.

Friends we can not deceive the Lord . We can not get away with wrong choices wrong priorities in our life . A good heart with bad priorities still hurt us very much . Many of us do this , Think about your life where you are going , Review talk to your spouse figure out what is important . Do you even have priorities ?. Many of us go around life without a plan , Just living life for living .

Do you find yourself waking up every morning and doing the same thing you did yesterday with no meaning ?. Are you just busy trying to please others and not your family ?. Some of us think making choices is too difficult we think yes Is ALL GOOD !!! .. Are you buying that?. Do you sit in your living room in your house or apartment and say to yourself I love my life my children's life my marriage and most I love the relationship I have with The Lord !. If you have made the right priorities this is you .

Some think rules Oh my God is too hard . Try to make a list of your family expectations . #1 Love God # 2 Family First #3 work hard #4 tell the truth etc. make a list following those and as long as you don't move #1. The Lord has wonderful victory planned for us . Nothing great is easy , The Lord has made you to be successful in everything you do .But choices and priorities are a must in our life .

For those who are experiencing failure in your marriage , I tell you fight to save it , for those who haven't forgiven someone in your life I tell you go to them forgive them . For those who feel there is no other choices I tell you YES there is .

Don't despair my brother and sister the Gospel of Jesus Christ is here for all of us . The Lord is knocking to the door in our heart . You can't fail him and you can't fail your family and you can't fail those around you . You are a Christian a son or daughter of the Creator of the Universe , You are so special yet you don't even feel it .

Proverbs 4:11

"I instruct you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight
paths. "

OUR LEADER

When God leads you to the edge of the cliff, trust Him fully
and let go, only 1 of 2 things will happen, either He'll catch you when you
fall, or He'll teach you how to fly! "The power of one sentence! God is
going to
shift things around for you today and let things work in your
favor. If you
believe, send it. If you don't believe, delete it. God closes
doors no man can
open & God opens doors no man can close. If you need
God to open some doors
for you...send this to ten people. Have a blessed day
and remember to be a
blessing...

SENSORY IS IMPORTANT FOR AUTISTIC KIDS TO FUCTION

Sensory Integration Dysfunction
(SID, also called sensory processing disorder)

is a neurological disorder causing difficulties with processing information from the five classic senses (vision, auditory, touch, olfaction, and taste), the sense of movement (vestibular system), and/or the positional sense (proprioception).
For those with SID, sensory information is sensed normally, but perceived abnormally. This is not the same as blindness or deafness, because, unlike those disorders, sensory information is sensed by people with SID, but the information tends to be analyzed by the brain in an unusual way that may cause distress or confusion.

It can also be a characteristic of other neurological conditions, including autism spectrum disorders, attention deficit disorder, dyslexia, Developmental Dyspraxia, Tourette Syndrome, multiple sclerosis, and speech delays, among many others.

Unlike many neurological problems that require validation by a licensed psychiatrist or physician, this condition is most often diagnosed by an occupational therapist. It is increasingly being diagnosed by developmental pediatricians, pediatric neurologists, and child psychologists. While it has not yet been included in the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual as a discrete diagnosis, Regulatory-Sensory Processing Disorder is an accepted diagnosis in Stanley Greenspan’s Diagnostic Manual for Infancy and Early Childhood and the Zero to Three’s Diagnostic Classification.
There is no known cure; however, there are many treatments available.

LA UNIVERSIDAD DE LA VIDA

"School Of Life"

"Let us not become tired of doing good.
At the right time we will gather a crop if we don't give up."
(Gal. 6:9)

Years ago I heard a story about a little boy whose mother put him on the bus for school. Before the bus doors closed and the mother could walk away, the little boy turned around and got back off.

“What are you doing?” the mother asked. “You need to go to school.”

“I know,” he answered. “But I want to stay home today. School is hard, and sometimes it’s boring. And besides, it takes too long.”

The wise mother knelt down and looked him in the eyes. “Son,” she said, “you just described life. Now get back on the bus.”

Lately I have noticed that many of us (myself included!) have had some very long, extremely hard, and sometimes boring days at “school,” and we’ve been tempted to get off the bus and just go back home. It seems no matter how hard we try or how much effort or time we expend, no one appreciates it and we just don’t see much in the way of a return on our investment.

But God sees what we do. He knows our heart, and He knows that we are often weary and on the edge of discouragement. But He has given us a great promise in Galatians 6:9 that if we will not grow weary while doing good and fulfilling His purpose and call for our lives, then “in due season” we will reap the reward for our efforts. We will see that lost one come to Jesus. We will receive the necessary provision or the long-awaited healing. We will experience that restored relationship. We may even be recognized for the long hours we put into working for the Kingdom. Or not.

And that’s the key—that we hold tight to God’s promise and His faithfulness, even if we don’t see the rewards in this lifetime. If we know that we know that we KNOW that we are following hard after Him, pursuing the goal He has set for us, then we don’t need to lose heart, regardless of the results (or lack thereof). We don’t know the “due season” in which we shall reap what we have sown in His name, but we can trust Him to bring it to pass in the fullness of His time. And when He does, the joy will more than compensate any tears we may have shed along the way.

So stay on the bus, beloved! Life is sometimes hard, sometimes boring, and sometimes seems to take forever. But we serve a mighty God—and we serve Him shoulder to shoulder, together. It is an honor to sit next to you on the bus.

MAY OUR LORD BLESS YOU TODAY AND EVERY DAY

ADHD NEVER LOOKED BETTER

This is truly a real life story of Love , Courage and lots of hard work . This is proof that anything is possible with lots of work and consistancy .

*************************************************

Michael Phelps ADHD is not an attention deficit

To much of the ADHD community, Michael Phelps’s phenomenal swimming at the Bejing Summer Olympics is a beacon of pride and hope. For all the advances in diagnosing and treating ADHD, it remains greatly stigmatized. In chat rooms and bulletin boards people post items like “ADHD is not a disability” as a way of giving support to those who are living with it. Yet, after we watch Michael Phelps, his fierce determination and single-minded focus, it is clear that even the name Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder falls short in describing just what ADHD is. Clearly Michael Phelps has no shortage of attention!

Many people have no idea that Michael Phelps has ADHD, yet he hasn’t kept it a secret. In an August 13, 2008 TimesOnline article, his mother is quoted as saying, “In kindergarten I was told by his teacher, ‘Michael can’t sit still, Michael can’t be quiet, Michael can’t focus.’ I said, maybe he’s bored. The teacher said that was impossible. “He’s not gifted,” came back the reply. “Your son will never be able to focus on anything.”

How many people with ADHD are told just that – you’ll never be able to focus on anything! Obviously after Michael Phelps’s summer of 2008 performance, it’s clear that ADHD does not have to stop you from focusing on and reaching your dreams.

Today let’s take a page from Michael’s book and channel our passions. If we do, imagine what we can accomplish. As his coach, Bob Bowman, says, “One of the things I call Michael is the motivation machine. Bad moods, good moods, he channels everything for gain. He’s motivated by success, he loves to swim fast and when he does that he goes back and trains better. He’s motivated by failure, by money, by people saying things about him … just anything that comes along he turns into a reason to train harder, swim better. Channelling his energy is one of his greatest attributes.”

Congratulations Michael on your gold bonanza. And thank you for providing the ADHD community a role model that shatters all of our sterotypes!

Now it’s your turn, what motivates you to succeed?

LAS MARAVILLAS DEL CREADOR

Yo Soy ……

Soy el trenecito que si lo puede . Cuando en el camino de la vida Mis rrieles me llevaron a una Montana - El diagnostico de AUTISMO yo lo mire como un desafio , Pensando que no abria forma de superarlo .

Una y otra ves , Me dije “ Pienso que si lo lograre , Pienso que si lo lograre.
Fue entonces que comense a subir esta Montana el Senor a puesto en frente de mi repitiendo.
Contigo “Senor lo lograre” , contigo “Senor lo lograre.”

Estoy sobrepasando este diagnostico de Autismo y en este camino solo tomo la fuerza que solamente puede venir de aquel quien le dio la vida a mis hijos . (Filipenses 4:13)

Soy mas dedicada que la esposa de Noe . Me encuenro en este apartamento como en el bote por 365 dias y 365 noches al ano .
Cuando el viento de soledad y monotomia es insoportable . No me paro y me alejo , Mas bien me arrodillo ala orilla de mi cama y busco el rostro de mi senor para poder mirar el arco iris que solamente el Espiritu Santo puede traerme. (Romanos 5:5)

Soy una madre Cristiana , Un guerrero de Cristo , Con mi armadura de hierro puedo pelear a cualquiera que se ponga en frente del progreso de mis hijos …..

Con la fuerza que el Senor me brinda puedo mirar sobre las miradas y ignorancia de aquellas personas cuales no saben enterder lo que es vivir con Autismo.

Por la inteligencia que El Creador me a brindado tengo la capacidad de educar a aquellos que lo permiten . De la misma forma puedo pelear al Distrito escolar para obtener los derechos de educacion que mis hijos necesitan. (Efesios 6:11)

Estoy armada para la batalla diaria….
Mi nombre es Gloria !!. Madre de hijos speciales que a sido traida a este mundo para tocar el Corazon y el alma de muchos padres que se
en cuentran en la misma posicion mia sin ninguna esperanza de sanacion.

Todo a comensado con migo . Por medio de haberme abierto los ojos a las maravillas y grandesas de mi Salvador . Aprendiendo de ese amor que palabras no pueden expresar (2 Timoteo 4:2)

Soy David ,” En la ley del senor me deleito dia y noche “ ( Salmo 1:2)

Estoy siento tocada por angeles , Angeles que viven en un mundo de inocencia y puridad , Un mundo sin odio ni mentira . Un mundo donde siempre hay tiempo , no hay dolor ni odio .

Estas maletas que cargo son tan pesadas que otra persona creo que no podria con ellas , Pero la seguridad que El Senor me librara de todo esto , Me trae lagrimas de felizidad . Al mirar los abances de mis hijos solo hacen que estas maletas sean menos pezadas.

Seguramente si estoy siendo tocada por angeles …

Yo soy especial porque ellos son speciales ……

AUTISM IN THE EYES OF A PERSON WHO LIVES WITH IT

June 10, 2008
By Pamela McLaren

Brian Lafferty, radio-TV-film major, holds an anthology of stories that he contributed to.

"If someone were to ask me what it feels like to be autistic, it would be hard for me to describe. I hardly ever think about it."
So starts an essay by Brian Lafferty, a Cal State Fullerton radio-TV-film major, who is proving that autism is not, in his own words, "a curse."
The essay is part of "Voices of Autism — The Healing Companion: Stories for Courage, Comfort and Strength," an anthology of stories from the perspective of parents, caregivers, teachers, and friends.

"Voices of Autism," edited by The Healing Project, was published last month by LaChance Publishing as part of a "Voices of" book series that offers support, perspective, insight and information on life-threatening or chronic diseases.
Lafferty's autism was discovered in 1997, when he was 11.

"When I look back, there were signs but we didn't see them," said Brian's mom, Debbie Lafferty. "He was the fifth child after four girls, so we didn't think anything about his slowness in speaking. In other things, he was very quick, like learning how to read at 5 years of age."

Even with the diagnosis, the Laffertys decided to not place any special restrictions in Brian's life — except for moving him, in the seventh grade, from public school into the Winston School in Del Mar, where he served on the school paper and was senior class president.

"We gave him, instead, every opportunity," explained his proud mom. "And look where he is today."
After graduating from Winston School, Lafferty attended Palomar College where he discovered the college's radio/TV program. Then a friend told him about Cal State Fullerton and its radio-TV-film program. He transferred in spring 2007 and lives on campus during the school year. He hopes to graduate in 2009.

Q. What's your favorite class at Cal State Fullerton?

A. Television drama and screenwriting. During Communications Week last year, I listened to a presentation by TV writer/producer Stephen Cannell. I was able to talk to him afterward and decided that I wanted to write screenplays. I signed up for the TV drama course and did well.

Q. How did you find out about the "Voices of Autism" book?

A. I was taking a world cinema class from Dr. Gloria Monte (assistant professor of radio-TV-film). She knew I was autistic and told me about the publication. She set up a meeting for me with one of the publishing reps at LaChance Publishing, who asked me to write about how it feels to be autistic.

Q. How was that?

A. The hardest part was how to start. For assistance, I talked to one of my other professors, Bob Engels, and he helped me. I feel that my work was satisfactory. Some people think I have downplayed my success. It's hard to describe my experience because I have never experienced having something published other than in my high school newspaper before.

Q. What do you think about autism?

A. Autism has gotten a lot of negative publicity. Some view it as some sort of a curse, but I don't feel that it is. I have taken what other people see as a disadvantage and turned it into a positive. Parents who have children with autism should teach their children to see it as an advantage and, then, they'll go far.

VICTORIA !!!!!

VICTORY

Rms. 3:20 …for through the law comes the full knowledge of sin.
1Co 15:56-57
Now the sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
But thanks
be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!

There is a great ignorance today concerning the content of sin. The apostle Paul was quite plain as to the “full content of sin!” Including its application to us who believe and to those who do not believe.

The axiom of sin is that it brings death, always! This spiritual law of sin and death has never changed. However, there is victory to be found from sin and death, which is its result! This is cause for great rejoicing! But first let us understand what sin is and is not.

It is no more or no less than a violation of God’s full law! It is not to be added to or diminished from this Biblical dimension as is often done by so many. This desire and teaching by so many that every thing over and above God’s law is sin (if they chose to label it such) is nothing less than their attempt to make every one a sinner even after regeneration!

They do this to justify their “sinning saint doctrine,” which is designed by the devil himself to keep you a “slave of sin.” But the result of following that teaching is being shut out of the kingdom of God and His Christ who will not allow any sinner in! (Mat. 7:23)

However, all are found to be under sin that have not found the Victory Paul mentions above! If the “law of sin is death,” which is defeat, then “the law of the Spirit of life” (Rms. 8:2) is the Victory! But how does that law transfer to me? By “obeying Jesus’ words!”

Jn. 14:23 Jesus answered him, "If anyone loves me, he will obey my word. Then my Father will love him, and we will go to him and make our home within him.”

Some one will protest and say, “but we can’t do it!” No, the flesh can’t do it is true! But the spirit born of the Spirit can (Jn. 3:6)! Now, having been so born, “we must walk in newness of life” and walk in the Spirit we were born in.

Is it still the flesh only? Then you will continue to sin! But if born to the Spirit, you put to death “the deeds of the flesh” you will live and be granted eternal life! This is the VICTORY.

Busquemos Al Senor

"Soy Testigo de Cristo quien murio por nosotros y hoy vive por
nosotros .
Para mi nuestro creador es tan real como la comida que
necesitamos diario .
En especial con todo lo que El Senor a puesto enfrente
de mi les ago saber
que si no hay Duda de su excistencia ."

Salmos 119
(Nueva Versión Internacional)

"Dichosos los que guardan sus *estatutos

y de todo corazón lo buscan."

Busco al Senor en todo momento posible porque se que sin el soy nada y con El lo puedo todo . Tengo 2 anos de constante oracion al Senor por mi familia. Pero la verdad El Senor sabe que han avido pocas las veses cuales yo y mi esposo hemos llorado en su presencia clamando su asistencia por nuestros hijos .

Queridos Hermanos estoy aca para decirles que no solo hemos clamado pero el Senor nos a escuchado de manera Sorprendente . El Senor es maravilloso en toda su Gloria .

DILIGENCIA !!!

" Oh ! Que hariamos por andar mas serca con Dios ?"

Esta es la plegaria de muchas personas que en su desesperacion tratan de buscar a Dios . El camino sagrado de poder caminar junto a nuestro Creador . La simple accion de poderse llamar hijo del Unico Dios verdadero . Poder sentir por unos momentos la libertad que solo el Espiritu Santo nos da . Poder mirar alos cielos y quedarte en imprecion por la grandeza de el Creador .

Les digo que solamente por medio de la Diligencia puesta en el corazon se pueden sentir estas cosas y mucho mas .

El Primer Amor!!

Es claro que cuando El Senor orava a su padre lo siguiente el amor dado por su padre fue llave para nuetra salvacion actualmente ,

Juan 17:24

(Nueva Versión Internacional)

"Padre, quiero que los que
me has dado estén conmigo donde yo estoy. Que vean mi gloria, la gloria que me
has dado porque me amaste desde antes de la creación del mundo."

Piensas que tu has escojido al Senor . Ni te has dado cuenta que fue El Senor quien te escojio a ti . Te saco de la tempestad del Pecado , Que mas esperas pero de sentarte y recibir toda la bendicion que El Senor te promete !!. Le pides al Senor le adoramos y ya eso es todo , Seguimos sentados esperando El Cielo ?.

Se te a olvidado la Diligencia ...

Perseveracion e n todo momento ya sea porque te fue bien o porque te fue mal . Ya sea porque hoy llovio o porque hoy hay sol . La verdad de esta situacion es que con Cristo no hay dias malos ni dias oscuros . Hay dias de mucha Diligencia con El Senor , Porque con el somos y lo podemos todo Hermanos . Y sin El Senor somos y podemos nada .

Hechos 3:19

(Nueva Versión Internacional)

"Por tanto, para que sean borrados sus pecados, arrepiéntanse y vuélvanse a Dios, a fin de que vengan tiempos de descanso de parte del Señor"

La DILIGENCIA Hermanos es clave para todo Cristiano verdadero , La DILIGENCIA nos hace sobrepasar todos los obstaculos y pruebas venideras . Que nunca se nos olvide que...

Lamentaciones 3:23

(Nueva Versión Internacional)

"Cada mañana se renuevan sus bondades ,muy
grande es su fidelidad! "

Sigan adelante con Cristo Hermanos . Siendo DILIGENTES hasta su llegada .

OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY 101

Here he is my big boy in OT

Mi hijo david a tomado terapia acupacional por hacerca de 2 meses , Parese que son pocos pero ya muestra una gran mejoria encuanto a sus motores finos . No cabe duda que las terapias junto con mucha oracion no suelen fallar . El Senor nos abendecido con personas muy buenas para el crecimiento de nuestros hijos .



Mateo 7:7-8
(Nueva Versión Internacional)

"Pidan, y se les dará; busquen, y encontrarán; llamen, y se les abrirá. Porque todo el que pide, recibe; el que busca, encuentra; y al que llama, se le abre. "

David has been taking occupational therapy now for a couple of months , Doesn't sound like much but it has improved his fine motor skills so much he is now able t o put his pants all by himself . so many other things are still needed but I'm sure he will see improvent soon . The Lord has blessed us with a wonderful therapist who takes her time with him and is very loving .

There is no dought in my mind that the Lord is at work with my children .

Matthew 7:7-8

(New International Version)

"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. "

What Is Occupational Therapy and Who Might Need It?

Occupational therapy — a treatment that focuses on helping people achieve independence in all areas of their lives — can offer kids with various needs positive, fun activities to improve their cognitive, physical, and motor skills and enhance their self-esteem and sense of accomplishment.
Some people may think that occupational therapy is only for adults; children, after all, do not have occupations. But a child's main job is playing and learning, and an occupational therapist can evaluate a child's skills for play activities, school performance, and activities of daily living and compare them with what is developmentally appropriate for that age group.
According to the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA), in addition to dealing with an individual's physical well-being, OT practitioners address psychological, social, and environmental factors that may hinder an individual's functioning in different ways. This unique approach makes occupational therapy a vital part of health care for some kids.
So who might use an occupational therapy practitioner? According to AOTA, kids with the following medical problems may benefit from OT:
birth injuries or birth defects
sensory processing/integrative disorders
traumatic injuries (brain or spinal cord)
learning problems

autism
pervasive developmental disorders
juvenile rheumatoid arthritis
mental health or behavioral problems
broken bones or other orthopedic injuries
developmental delays
post-surgical conditions
burns
spina bifida
traumatic amputations
cancer
severe hand injuries
multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, and other chronic illnesses
One of the activities that occupational therapists can address to meet children's needs is working on fine motor skills so that kids can grasp and release toys and develop good handwriting skills. Occupational therapists also address hand–eye coordination to improve play skills, such as hitting a target, batting a ball, or copying from a blackboard.

LA PALABRA DE HOY

Buenos dias Hermanos . Good morning Brothers here is something to
think about and something that will make you laugh this morning

Psalm 119:1, (NIV)

"Blessed are they whose ways are blameless,
who walk according to the law of the LORD."

******************************************************************

Webster describes the word blameless as the following :
"free from guilt or blame "

We have to follow laws every single day on the road while driving , Must follow social etiquette's in lots of areas of our life . God is seeing your work in everyday life with your struggles and difficulties . Sometimes we are so consumed in the importance of our social life and following the secular laws which by the way you should follow . But we aren't paying attention to what is important . LOVE !!! "God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son so that whoever believes in him may not be lost, but have eternal life. " John 3:16 .

I have learned in my personal walk with the Lord that if I have LOVE I have it all . And all things are possible because of LOVE . And who is love ?. The Lord . So if the walls are falling apart for you at this moment allow the healing of the word LOVE enter in your heart and you will see what a difference it will make in your life .

Make today the day you feel BLAMELESS of stress , anxiety, hate , anger, suffering of any kind . Maybe you are having a difficulty with your children , with your co-worker , your neighbor , your family member , etc. Whatever the case may be I'm here to tell you today that there is a choice you can make . You can chose to have Blame a the end of this day or you can be BLAMELESS starting today .

" Levanto mis manos aunque tenga mil problemas "

" I raise my hands even though I have a million Problems "

********************************************************************

PRAY:

Lord Allow me today to start a good week, Give me the strength to accept all that comes my way with a positive mind and clean heart . Allow all negativity to move away from me this week Lord , I trust in you God . In the name of your son Jesus . AMEN!!.

*******************************************************************

Have a blessed week.

BUILDING YOUR FAITH

Proverbs 23:7 says that “As a man thinks in his heart, so is
he.”

Walking in faith , Walking in the word . Too many times we tell ourselves this is the way to be and too many times we tell others this is the way they should be . Once you have accepted the Lord as your Saviour it isn't very hard to walk in Faith to walk in the Word .

Thanks giving is what builds your faith . Give Him thanks for the things he is giving you weather you see them or not .
When you start to do that you confidence goes high your happiness grows and your anxiety of all those things go down .

Many of us go to Sunday school every Sunday morning and we listen to the word and we cry cause the word is so powerful and we promise that this time we will practice what we have heard , But then we wipe our tears and we move on the rest of the day the rest of the week just like nothing happened .

Give up your rights my friends , I have to let you know by my own personal experience , and I'm not claiming to be perfect , But when ever I have let go of , Problems, Difficulties , Fights, disagreements , Hatred , anger etc . Letting go by prayer and fasting my request is heard and is answered .

Letting go of your rights is simple . Stop wondering why me or what about me . Leave it to the Lord , Our God has a perfect memory he never forgets . Any good thing or any bad thing people have done to you . Allow the peace of God to come in to your life . Allow the Lord to bring peace in to your life . Allow the holy spirit to work in you .

The result of you letting go of your rights and of you allowing the Lord to take control of your life , Surpasses the knowledge of understanding our perfect God . How do you know yo have come that feeling of surpassing understanding ?. Is when someone hurts you so bad and you forgive them and you are sitting there wondering how did you ever forgave them .

Philippians 4:8

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just,
whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any
excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

Lets start reviewing the good in people , When the evil one wants to place negative thoughts in your mind. things like , getting even , hurting back , there is no joy in that . There is no letting go in that .

Philippians 4:9

What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these
things, and the God of peace will be with you.

So lets stop for a minute and start today this morning with a new beginning , Thinking positively being truthful , letting go of our anxieties and discomforts of our neighbors , family members, Friends, our bills , our jobs , our kids .

Because we have learned this day that building our faith means letting it all go .

Philippians 4:23

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.

A GIFT FROM ABOVE

EL SENOR ES GRANDISIMO Y TODO PASA CON UN PROPOSITO . NUESTROS HIJOS SON UN REGALO DEL CIELO

Believe you will be blessed today

How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who
bringgood news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, whoproclaim
salvation, who say to Zion, "Your God reigns!"

Isaiah 52:7

New International Version

Our awsome Creator (July 2007)

GOD

God , what or who is this being you might ask your self

. Is he or it real ?. Does he really exist you might ask your self . Well according to the Merriam Webster dictionary

the word GOD means:
the supreme or ultimate reality: as a : the Being perfect in power, wisdom, and goodness who is worshipped as creator and ruler of the universe..

Wow I wonder if Webster believes in God . First of if there is a meaning for such a word GOD then it must exist. That we came from this big bang we have been taught in our school system . Just this month we celebrated the 4th of July . One of my favorite holidays may I add . I believe it must have been exciting the day these 3 man decided to write the declaration of independence . I guess you are wondering why do I bring this up. Well the reason being is that in the declaration of independence we find certain interesting quotes John Hancock wrote on that day .

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, —

From the beginning of time we have known of the existence of a Creator indeed there is a God .Not only do we need to have complete faith in spirit but we must also have complete confidence in our approach to all we do for all we do we are capable of doing through Him .

There is a great story in the bible of when Jesus is crucified and he appears to a few of his disciples and they in turn tell Thomas about having seen Jesus . But Thomas says to them unless I see him unless I feel the holes in his hands I will not believe . Jesus appears to Thomas and says to him these words .

John 20:29
Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."

These words are also for you Friend who is reading this at this moment . We are so blessed to have not seen our Creator yet we believe .

Genesis 1: 1-2
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Now the earth was [a] formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

Just like in the big bang THEORY it all started with Formless empty masses I can imagine that . One thing that scientist have mentioned in many documentaries I have seen is that our earth in being maintained by a powerful and unexplainable higher power. The fine tuning of our cosmos is amazing and inexplicable in the scientist point of view . Consider for instance the precise setting of four fundamental physical forces: electromagnetism , gravity, strong nuclear force, and weak nuclear force . These forces affect every object in the universe . They are set and balanced so precisely that even slight changes can render the universe lifeless.
Long before Sir Isaac Newton discovered the law of gravity, the Bible referred to such fixed rules or laws. JOB was asked in JOB 38:33 Do you know the ordinances of the heavens? Can you set their dominion over the earth?

JOB 38:4-5
“ Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth?
Tell Me, if you have understanding.
Who determined its measurements?
Surely you know! Or who stretched the line upon it?

I’m not a science expert . I won’t pretend to be one but I know the basics of it . Like that Oxygen atoms make up 63 percent of the weight of living organisms on earth. Another ideal feature is the shape of earth's orbit. If the orbit were more elliptic, we would suffer unbearable extremes of temperature. Instead, the earth has a nearly circular orbit. Of course, the situation would change if a giant planet like Jupiter were to pass nearby. In recent years scientists have uncovered evidence that some stars have large Jupiter like planets orbiting very close to them. Many of these Jupiter like planets have eccentric orbits. Any earthlike planets in such systems would be in trouble.

In his book A Guided Tour of the Living Cell, Nobel Prize-winning scientist Christian de Duve admits:

"If you equate the probability of the birth of a bacterial cell to that of the chance assembly of its component atoms, even eternity will not suffice to produce one for you."

Wow was that a scientist admitting to the wonders of the Lord ?. I believe so .Scientists have described the human brain as the most complicated physical structure in this universe. How could it have developed by chance ?. It certainly has not been .

Jeremiah 51:15
He has made the earth by His power;
He has established the world by His wisdom,
And stretched out the heaven by His understanding.

John 1:1
“In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God “

Remember the beginning of things ?. Well it was God who was with Christ who was his Son the Word . It is very simple . John 3:16 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
Having said that we go into the purpose of God creating us . It is a simple a reason to be fruitful and be happy together . Making it easier for you to understand I say to you that the Gospel is all about LOVE and compassion for others . Mark 12:31 Love your neighbor as you would love yourself

John 15:5
"I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.

Jesus spoke in parables most of the time so that it would be easier for the people to understand him. He is our Vine we are the branches we should remain close to him so that we can grow fruit that is firm and peachy . Meaning if we are close to him we will have a good life .

John 3:3
In reply Jesus declared, "I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.[a]"

Born again?. Yes meaning we will learn the truth and the truth will set us free . How you might ask . In a way that is unbelievable . When you allow our Lord to come into your heart and make you a new person . How you might ask again . A new person in him I mean , Like you will now respect the meaning of Love your neighbor as yourself .

Love that is all the Word teaches :

The Word of God is an ever - present reality to me. I rest assured goodness and joy are with me through every day of life. I share of my truth with everyone I touch in a way , and I am ever replenished in love .Because Christ Lives in me now.

God Bless You

I'M A MOM

A warrior for my 3 kids

After his diagnosis of AUTISM I would kneel down and pray together with my husband hand and hand together we would ask the Lord my son could speak .

From the day of his diagnosis i made it my task , that my son would at least know what his name is . DAVID !!

I gave him ABA for 6 months none stopped learned by me and some training , Never a day dull or a none busy night . Our goal was that my son could only learn who he was .

When he said his name DAVID!!!! WOW !!!! the most amazing night , I cheered and called my husband and his sisters and made a huge party out of this moment . He was never again called anything else but DAVID . he now knew who he was .

I then would kneel down at the foot of his bed and ask the Lord if my son could just learn his shapes , then his colors , his numbers . If he could only learn how to write his name .

So his special education teacher said no he can't . YEAH RIGHT !!!! I said to her . You are mistaken he can and he will !!!!

I prayed for it and after 2 months of ABA he did it !! His therapist was soooooo EXCITED we praised the Lord and then my son .

Then God Proved he can be in regular ed with some therapy still but in general ed . Something his special ed teacher said he couldn't and wouldn't do . YEAH RIGHT !!! I remember thinking to myself . I guess she doesn't know ho my father is . LOL !!!

I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, "Move from here to there" and it will move.
Matthew 17:20

I have been asking my mountain to be moved since march 2007 and it is moving for sure . If only you can feel the same it would just bring us closer together . I have been praying for you . For your faith to grow and I know it will cause the Mountain is moving , I believe it's moving in our favor .

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning...
Lamentations 3:22-23
