Mar 7th Set Your Clock “AHEAD” and “PRAY!”

Today – the 7th of March is “DAY Light Saving Day” – and everyone knows what that means – you get to lose one hour of sleep tonight! We have to set our clocks ahead one hour – so that we can enjoy the beautiful “Sun Light” for the next several months – that means we will be saving a few dollars on the electric bill – natural light is so much better – than having to use the “light bulb” light to see what we are doing in the dark??

There is one clock that I keep on the “DAY LIGHT” time all year round – that is so I can enjoy those days that full of SUN LIGHT in that   part of the year that  are  generally always cold and gloomy – and also – should I fail to turn clocks ahead – or back an hour in the FALL – I always have the correct time – somewhere???

Then there is the clock by the bed – “CLOCK-RADIO” – this clock is the most important of all the clocks – this clock sets the time for the day! There was the time when I kept this one,  an hour ahead of whatever the time – just so that I would get up on time – but then… I started leaving the “RADIO” on at all times – and now – I know what time it is by who is talking on the radio. There are programs that I am listening to at night – and they talk me to sleep! In the morning hours – there are some  – that I want to hear every word on the program – and somehow my brain hears their voices and – my eyes open and up I get and go! Works just like “GOOD MEDICINE!”

Just “KNOWING” that one is alive – one should remember to begin the day with prayer – some mornings – I try to remember to give THANKS just for being here another day and  – as I am going from the bedroom to another room and start opening the drapes  – like to welcome the Almighty –and just let Him know what a beautiful day it is – and that’s  no matter what the weather is   outside – because – no matter what it looks like here – it is because some one  – somewhere  – needs that kind of weather! I do like to have “SUNSHINE” – but I also know that if I want vegetables on the table for our meals – the farmer needs the rain for the plants to grow. Everything has a way of working out – especially – if we just leave the Almighty take care of the heavy duty stuff???

At bedtime – I always like to give THANKS – to the Almighty – by just giving Thanks for a wonderful day  – “TODAY” – and I always give Thanks for yesterday and also tomorrow – and then I say Thanks , Almighty Yahweh for all those blessings for yesterday and tomorrow – because all  of those blessings went into “TODAY’s” blessings – – as there is always –  only TODAY!  “RIGHT NOW” –  “at this minute – it is TODAY!”  That  –  may just  sound  too silly – but when you get to thinking about  –  it – and what you might  want to do or not do – tomorrow  –  “IT” – never gets  here since it is always TODAY – and the same goes for yesterday – we cannot do anything about our mistakes or even the wonderful things  that we did do – it also is all gone ??? We just have no way to correct or change anything – so  – I feel we have to be sure we let our Creator know – that if  HE has it in HIS plans for  any corrections to be made  – in our behalf toward someone – that is what I would like  done – – but if not  – then,  if it is  at all  possible  –  to send  – to that person some extra   special BLESSINGS – just to make up for some  of  my failures –  towards – whomever? ?? “KINDLY  – do so,  for me??”

“Pray and pray  as often –  as you can –  so many of us need prayer and comfort!”    “I’m  always –  Grateful and Thankful!”
