Gifts

What do you think about gifts? Are they given or received? Did you find them or did you always have them? Where do your gifts begin or end? Do you have the gift of gab or were you gifted with beauty or a brush stroke or song? Did you come easy to it or did God drag you kicking and screaming to find it? Or, were you to ever strive to be where you should be? Your heart was fulfilled to a point of bliss or the wonder of peace has brought you happiness. Are they combined with your dreams – what you wanted in your life? Maybe you’re young and your future is all yours to find and the gifts you have are in the making. But at this Christmas time, giving gifts is one thing in and of itself. Giving of one self is like God giving His Gift to us. With His Love like our love giving to another, it’s the giving of love. Sometimes, it is our gifts to each other that will make each of our lives as neighbors and family fulfilled with the joy of Life and Love of God that He blesses us with. Throughout our lives we are filled with the bombardment of man’s bad choices of free will, my self included. Never leaving my faith in God or finding my way forward, at times, seems virtually impossible to do.

Prayer, faith, and, forgiveness are important in my life. At times, I have had trouble forgiving myself for my imperfections. I have been beating my self up and not feeling worthy of love and forgiveness. It was prayer that pulled me through. It is the time we should pray the hardest and the longest.

We should set ourselves free from the anguish so God can remove our imperfections. It allows His Love to shine through us creating a gateway to our gifts with no roadblocks ahead of us. We all have these abilities to seek the things of God to strive for the life in which we search for but we let mans world and our freedom of choices prevent us from seeing Gods will.

I am thankful my blessings and the ability to share them with others. It is what Christmas is to my life. May you find the Love of God and the gifts given to you to share with in your own lives. Merry Christmas!

A day of inspiration

What sometimes amazes me is the amazement that Tina, our dog, doesn’t go out of our motor home. She was trained not to leave. The people that go by constantly comment on that fact and are amazed by it. A training manual states that dogs have the intelligence of a four year old. And they can count to four – at least some breeds. We have trained her not only to stay in, but to come when called. But at times she is distracted by birds, dogs, etc. and wants to point or play. One time she was on the beach one early morning and she saw a couple of sandpipers. I could not see them. She was slowly creeping and pointing. I looked at her and said you crazy mutt, you are pointing at rocks! Soon the birds I did not see took off and so did Tina. Unfortunately, she was half way to San Clemente. No matter what I tried, no commands could curtail her enthusiasm to chase those birds. As they stayed close to the sand near the waves, so did Tina. They disappeared into the sunrise over each dune. She kept going until I could not see anymore. So, I being out for a short walk, started walking south, figuring I would catch up to her just before the border. Just then, I caught a glimpse of our motor home heading in the same direction. My wife was attempting to cut her off at the pass but ran out of park and had to stop. She headed out for her yelling for Tina to come. Five minutes later, here comes Tina. Tongue hanging, tuckered and tired, Tina walked slowly to the motor home. Jennifer was yelling Truck! Truck! Tina had been trained to go inside the motor home with that command. I wanted to kill Tina at first, but I knew it was my fault for not having her on the leash. I let her off the leash so she could run around and so she did. Tina was so happy that day. We would love to have the run around like that every day, after all, she is a bird dog. We have found an unconfined space where she can run. Now, dogs walk by on leashes and Tina cries. Is it because she feels so bad for those dogs and wants to tell them where to run?

Do it now! Just do it. You can’t sell what you don’t paint. What happened to painting every day? Your Job - Are you a quitter? Get shirts from second hand stores. Do your painting outside in public. Show your shirts at the same time take the computer to show other shirts print and frame. Provide pictures of shirts pictures for walls to take with signed copies. Make money on art already done. If you are an artist, why don’t you act like one! You are willing to go out in bone chilling cold and stand outside praying for work at hard labor when God’s given you a gift of artistic freedom and you don’t do anything about it! You just sit there doing nothing!! Just nothing! God must be really happy about that. Hoowah. Wasting the talent He gave you. What a waste! If you had not given up you would already have the money you are seeking. Hollis and everyone always ask if you are painting. Your answer is always no. No wonder they think you are a loser. They wonder why you are wasting your talent. And they wish they had that ability. So why are you doing nothing? It just doesn’t make sense, does it? So, you better get off your butt or maybe you should stay on it and just do it. You are on it anyway so what is your problem? Get to it!!!!
