Family & Friends: Your's, Mine, & ours

Poem Written By: D'Juana Dickens and Sheila Feaster
Dedicated to Mother Elsie Vivian Spencer 
God created the first family, their names are Adam and Eve,
But just like in some families,  something came in and deceived.    
            Now I'm going to fast forward to Esther and Mordecai. Now their bond was so strong,
they never left each other's side!

Fruitful and Plenty is what HE asked, if you don't believe me check out Abraham!

Some family & friends are nurturing, some are troublesome.
I don't know how much we can take, but here's a suggestion.

Take on what you can endure.
Pray, pray & pray and let those knees hit the floor.
Put your trust in Jesus only HE can give you more!!

Now I'm going to talk about my family and you know it's something good.
Oh wait, y'all know my family! Y'all understood!

Family & Friends is about love, patience, hurt, pain,
loss, sacrifice, & happiness.
As we get older,  we get wiser, but through HIM there's nothing
 like the joy of the Lord who always supplies.

December week 2:
Fear Not
St. Luke 1:29-30 - 29 And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. 30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favor with God.

Often times we are intimidated by the size or complexity that can encompass the expression of God’s favor in our lives. You see, whatever God does, he always goes big! It may start out small but when His favor is released upon our life, you can expect great things! Don’t be afraid to try something new, to do things differently as this is the only way you can achieve the desired results! If what you are facing this week is too big for you then it is just right for our God! Don’t fear, don’t back down but meet it head on knowing that the Lord is with you! The love of God is with you! First John 4:18 says: There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. You have been called for such a time as this! Live this week in faith and not in fear!!




December WEEK 1:
Chosen to be Blessed
 Luke 1:26-28 - 26 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, 27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. 28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favored, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.

Mary was – Chosen to be blessed – In this annunciation of the coming of the messiah Mary was favored by God to be the one that would carry, birth, nurture and protect the son of God. The angel’s statement of Mary being “highly favored” gives us a glimpse into the care and the power of God’s watchful eye. Mary didn’t go looking for this but God chose her. She wasn’t expecting this but God chose her. Understand that God has chosen specific blessings for your life. You may not feel worthy, but God has not only chosen you for who you are now but what you shall become! So live this your life knowing that you are blessed and highly favored by God!! There will be some changes in your life for the good!
