I have come to realize that there are things that are far more important than Christmas gifts. I have been humbled this morning. I have changed my views. I thought that I have needs, but the truth is, that I had wants and desire. I have changed my views on Christmas. I believe that Jesus ought to be the focus. I felt so bad about being ungrateful today. I realize that even now, I have a long way to go. I felt and still feel to a point on the other hand that the more money the more presents the greater the Christmas. I am here to write that this view is wrong and I would like to change my views. I believe that God does answer prayers and that He knows that I have needs. All I know to do is to trust Him, In Jesus' name.
Musings, thoughts, opinions, and reflections on daily life and other subjects...and sometimes videos and recipes.

Online frustration
Today has been frustrating online. I like a lot of people apparently have the problem of movies not being able to load. Only a few videos will load yet there are a few that I won't be able to watch and songs that I won't be able to listen to. I am okay. Maybe the problem will be fixed as I have tried everything from cleaning the cache to downloading drivers. Nothing seems to work. I have never had this issue before. I thought that something has to work on a computer and that there is a fix. It seems however that there is no fix. I could use a miracle right about now.

Prayers to the Lord
I have been given clarity today. I have also been giving wisdom. I believe that life is too short to not to have wisdom or a clear mind. Those are some of the things that I have been praying for. God is good and also an all-time God. The song from Dottie Peoples about Him being an all-time God is true. I am living proof and for that, I am so grateful to Him. Never neglect being grateful to God. Tell Him the truth, for God cannot lie, so lets not lie. There is no need to use fancy words and bluster about being faithful when deep down doubtful thoughts are creeping in. The best prayers are the most honest prayers. Telling God how one feels in Jesus' name all the while repenting of one's sins. Have faith. God does answer prayer.
