Spam or Not to Spam

Image
Picture source:  From Wikipedia Spam or Not to Spam Written by: Jill Sheets Growing up my mom was a hard worker.  She was a single mother of two girls.  Trust me… We could be a hand full, well at least me. My mom has told me that there were times when she did not know how she was going to feed us. But thank God there was always a way. Our family ate some interesting stuff, but I remember us liking it. For some reason, I want to say she had gone without food to make sure us kids had enough to eat.  One of the things that we ate was fried spam.   It was made into a sandwich, with mayo or miracle whip on it. For us that was the only way to eat it. When I was older, I cannot believe I ate it. But I guess you have to do what you have to do. Spam came from Austin, Minn and it is canned precooked meat.  This canned meat was first introduced in 1937 and became popular after its use during World War II.  To make things simple, ...
It is Killing Me Writing by:  Jill sheets Tears rolling down my face as I kneel at my bed Feeling defeated. Frustration overcomes my body.  My eyes stinging as the tears overflow my eyes. Slow at first and then become quicker.  My chest tightens as I feel a panic attack coming on. Depression weighing on my shoulders attempting to fill my lungs so I cannot breathe correctly. The cells in my body being torn apart. Questioning my own existence. Their words on repeat in my head. How can someone treat another person this bad? © 2000 Jill Sheets
I Am Forgiven By Jill Sheets It is hard to understand I am forgiven. Even though  I do not deserve it. I am forgiven. For my past mistakes. When I am angry and not sure why. Walking in circles. I am forgiven. Even for the stuff I blame myself for. Needing to thank you every day. But falling short of doing that. I am forgiven. When I am upset with you. When I know that I am frustrating you. Even when I am taking back issues that I have offered up to you. I am forgiven. When I second guess not only me but you. I am forgiven. When I am clueless. What did you say? What am I suppose to be doing? Not sure that I am getting your messages. I am forgiven. © 2017 Jill Sheets

Good Samaritan

One of my favorite parts of the bible is The Parable of the Good Samaritan. I love the fact of people helping others. At times people don't help others because they do not know if that person is really in need or going to hurt them if they try to help. It is sort of like people asking for money on the street. Do they need help or are they later going to drive away in a new red Porsche? What does one do? Read below and see what Jesus says. Not about the car, but on helping others .   25  On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?” 26  “What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?” 27  He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’ [ a ] ; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ [ b ] ” 28  “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and...
