HEAVEN Sent . . .

 

My People,

 

Good Morning! May the Peace and Love of Jesus and Mama Mary ever fill your heart.

Day 2 of January, 2014 - and what a wonderful start it has been. Begin everything with love in your heart and you will never ever go wrong. Love is the answer to everything. Say it out loud, “LOVE PREVAILS”. Because what you say out loud, is what you believe and when you believe it the way you say it-then yeah you will be surrounded with love all over. Love will always, always win.

Jesus rose from the dead. “LOVE PREVAILS”.

The below words are by Constance Parker Graham. Hope you love it.

Each day has a gift to give,
Small joys and great ones too.
Beauty to see and songs to hear,
And wonderful things to do.
Enjoy each to the fullest,

For they add upto nothing less,

Than a lifetime of lovely moments and

A heart full of happiness.

 

 

 

We all want to be stars. We want the magic formula to quick success. God made you the best you can be, I want for you to believe and apply that in your life.

I want for you to know that you are a STAR.

You are worth dying for and Jesus did that on the CROSS. He died for all of us.

I want for you to BELIEVE.

God bless-Whitney Houston’s soul. The following lines are from her song “One moment in time”; I love this song, I absolutely love the words here. My advice, give each day the best you got.

Each day I live, I want to be;
A day to give, The best of me;
I'm only one, But not alone,
My finest day, Is yet unknown.

What are memories and why is it so important?

You could call it as data collected and stored in our memory bank. But really it is vital information linked to our brain-through our various experiences. Memories motivate us.

I’ll explain myself – placing myself in the picture, so that we both can understand, what and why I am saying what needs to be said. Let’s speak about Christmas, since this is the season.

Let’s take the year 2005, the year my brother met with an accident and went to be with the Lord. That year we celebrated Christmas, maybe not like other Christmas’s. We had the Crib up and avoided putting up the Christmas tree, because my brother loved that, and there were too many fond memories.

Christmas is a season of hope. How can you kill HOPE? When you celebrate Christmas together, you celebrate hope. You celebrate life. My brother’s death was a tragedy. We hurt and were broken. We didn’t give in to tragedy, believing in Jesus.

Too many times, I hear people say of how they have lost somebody in the family (a grand mother/grand father-uncle/aunt) and they are not celebrating Christmas and I think why? Isn’t it the birth of JESUS?

You don’t need to go shopping, you don’t need to decorate or jazz up the place. All you need to do is visit the Church and wish JESUS a very ‘Happy Birthday’. How difficult is that?

Death is something that comes to all of us at some time or the other. Because of Jesus we know we will see our loved ones at the end of this journey. Amen.

Children they do not understand death. But they look forward to celebrations. It’s what keeps them going. Sometimes I hear of parents who make their children go through this routine of mourning. Why?

Who can stop death? But why stop children-who do not understand what it is? And besides they won’t be forever the same age. Give them memories – that seem everlasting - so that when they face tomorrow - and that tomorrow can be tough-they will have all the memories that strengthen them and make them know that love is everlasting too. They will grow with a reassurance that no matter what happens, life goes on and we can choose to make it beautiful for others and ourselves as well. And in turn they will do right by their children. Isn’t that what we are supposed to do in the first place?

Good memories – gladden the heart.
Good memories – strengthen the person.
Good memories – make a person know he or she is loved.
A heart that is glad sings praises to God.

Lead your children to Jesus and He will forever keep them safe.  

 

 

1 John 4:18 is one of my most favourite passages in the Bible and it states: There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and he who fears is not perfected in love.  (To my sons – Daniel & Emmanuel.)

 

Day 5 of January, 2014 - 1st death anniversary of Fr. Larry Pereira. I am not going to say God rest his soul. I know he is in Heaven. …

This also happens to be the day for the kids receiving their first holy communion.

I wonder, maybe I’ll just go ahead and ask? I’m supposing you’re the kind, who knows you have guests coming. It’s Christmas time and you have prepared a wonderful menu keeping in mind the people you are preparing the meals for. Now, its time and your guests arrive.

You love to have people come in to your place. But these guests have taken you for granted they don’t even have the courtesy to address you. Being polite is a million miles away. It’s a big family with 7 kids. And you’re happy to see them. The kids go run and jump on the sofa. The parents try to maintain some order, and hence moving things around, so as to adjust the kid’s position of sitting, not even once looking or asking what needs to be done. And you want to say something but you’re too kind a person to say anything.

You have been a perfect host having taken care of everything including keeping them entertained. You gave with no appreciation shown. It hurts doesn’t it? You worked your heart out. You loved as to not say anything.

God is a perfect Host, taking care of all of our needs, we show no appreciation or reverence ever.  Have you ever understood?

 

KINDLY READ

 

After the 9:15 mass I sat in the Church to pray.

In the 3 years, that I have been for the 10:30 - first holy communion mass, the first 4 rows are always booked for the kids and their families. I understand that. You know this puzzles me, why would anyone have 3 kids sitting in a pew when it can easily accommodate 5 that too most comfortably.

The shocking part for me really was watching the ladies stick (numbers/name) on the pew. Do you remember going for the board exams and following the numbers so that you know exactly where you are seated? Well this was exactly like that.

We need to remember we are in the HOUSE of GOD.

You can always direct the kids as to where they have to be seated. But this was by means just plain bad………

At the end of the day, you may just go ahead and justify this? I give you that. But if what is an error is justified as right, it’s no wonder then that nobody says anything to anyone. When you live doing what is wrong, one more addition to the list will not seem like wrong. Will it?

And if you do understand this to be wrong, but for being so cautious to maintain your relationship and standing with others you chose to be quiet, then you do wrong by God and yourself.

Revelation 3:15-16 states- I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot; I wish that you were cold or hot. So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of My mouth.

The Church is a place of worship and a place of reverence in which Abba Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit dwell. Remember to show REVERANCE.

To be filled with zeal is to grow in “holy boldness” for the glory of God. The Lord our God is “a consuming fire”.   

Zeal must be tempered by love. True zeal effects positive change and a greater life.

 

Jesus found in the temple area those who sold sheep, doves etc as well as the money-changers seated there. He made a whip out of cords and drove them all out, and he said, “Take these out of here, and stop making my Father’s house a marketplace.” His disciples recalled the words of scripture, “Zeal for your house will consume me.” At this the Jews answered and said to him, “What sign can you show us for doing this?” Jesus answered and said to them, “Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up.” The Jews said, “This temple has been under construction for forty-six years, and you will raise it up in three days?”

The first thing the crowd at the temple courts and even Jesus disciples did not understand was the idea of the body being a temple.

The other thing the people did not understand was the sign Jesus would give was that He would die and then rise again on the third day. If they knew that Jesus was the temple they would destroy and that He would rise up from the grave, they might have understood why Jesus cleared the temple. You and I can rejoice in what it says about God’s love for us.

In love, let your life be consumed with zeal for the house of the Lord.

Jesus was never a push-over; neither, should we be. Let us cast out every obstacle that places itself in-between us and the true worship of God.

My question is this… Are you with belief, ready to say “All for Jesus,” even if you don’t fully understand what Jesus has done for you? Jesus love endures for us-forever.

 

 

If ever anyone ever asked me what is that I want? What is it that I seek?
You know in a heartbeat, I would say LOVE - it is everything I want. 
You are my every wish,
My every desire, my every dream come true,

I thank God I am blessed with you.

When you love someone you are mighty proud (a state of happiness for their well being) of the person they are. It hurts to be missing their best moments and not be a part of it. 

The wonderful thing about the Holy Spirit is,

no matter how time and space keeps the both of you apart,

love engraves you forever in each others heart.

What I have learnt over time, is that when the Holy Spirit brings you together, you will be led by Divine Wisdom. There is no information that will ever go unnoticed. When I think things are beyond me, it’s never beyond the power of the ‘Holy Spirit.’ He is the greatest power in the world.

I believe in soul mates. I believe in true love. I believe in the word sacrifice. I believe in total surrender to God.  

If we maintain close fellowship with God, He will lead us and guide us. If a person is truly seeking His will, if we submit to Him and follow Him, God will lead us to our “soul mate”. True soul mate oneness is only possible by following the bible.

KEEP GOD FIRST PLACE!

That simply means give God your highest priority. Understand how to revere Him out of the love in your heart.

And when you do, then you will be an obedient wife/a caring husband, wonderful parents and so on. You will be faithful to God and each other.

Being in Church and participating in all the Church activities is a wonderful thing to do, but never at the cost of not doing your household chores.

I have heard of families, especially women who participate in all the activities  of the Church and then go home and place an order for food. Love means making an effort.

I believe in a world of love and that love is possible when you love God with a total reverence to Him. When you love God you will love everyone. No questions about that.
 

From the Beginning…

You are my strength, my every desire.

You fill my heart,
I know I've finally found my life’s missing part.

Whenever you need me, I will be here.
At your call to talk and I'll be here to care.

As I look back on the dreams I left behind;
Buried there in all my thoughts, It is you I always find.

I write, for my words are few,
I pray God, to keep me with you.

The bonds of love they grow strong,
No other can stir my heart so deep,
And in my dreams – to eternity is a promise, God will keep.

When I look back to times gone by
There is one sure thing I know
There is no other my soul will ever love,
‘From the beginning it has always been you’.

 

With all my Love,

For Love Prevails!
AnitA.

 

PRAYER: Abba, Father, keep me obedient and always faithful. Remember, this your servant.  Mama Mary keep me humble, I pray. Amen.

Thank you God for (11:11) and Abba Father (help me understand 1:11)

Thank you, Abba Father.  18th June, 2014.
