Happy Birthday Jesus!

Happy birthday, Jesus! And, let me say Merry Christmas to all of you! Let's all take time to remember what God has done for us. It's truly a joyous day filled with ultimate love for everyone.

Join me today in not only celebrating family and presents, but the love of Christ. I'll be praying and giving thanks before anything is unwrapped. I will also be mindful of what today is really about because the reason for Christmas is so important.

How you choose to honor the Lord can manifest in many ways. The how doesn't really matter just as long as you do it. Pause and be gracious. Fill your mind with holy facts and carry them with you throughout your day.

Merry Christmas!

Happy Birthday Charity Water!

Please join Alice Benton's Blog in wishing Charity Water a very happy birthday! Wednesday, September 7, 2011, the Charity Water organization turned five! It was a very exciting day because that's five years of assisting individuals, as well as whole communities.

Usually, Charity Water birthdays are spent in the field, but this year was different. The Charity Water Team stayed busy on location in New York. I was one of many volunteers who was happily allowed to spend the day with them. There was a birthday video created in the office today and yes, yours truly can be found in the background briefly along with many other volunteers. Later in the evening, was Charity Water's birthday party. It was wonderful!

More importantly, is what has been accomplished within five years. This organization has helped over two million people obtain clean and safe water, in nineteen countries. That is simply amazing! May they continue to celebrate more birthdays while further blessing the world.

Loved One Gone

The memory of a loved one gone stays in our mind.  Especially as birthdays or their death date passes.  Having lost my precious sister so many years ago, I am tempted, at times, to hate a world that she no longer shares with me, but I refuse.  I will not associate ill thoughts with sweet Jennifer because it disrespects her memory.

Instead, I choose to focus on her life.  I was blessed enough to share 33 years with Jennifer.  Sure, I would have liked much more, but the time we had was absolutely beautiful.  She was a wonderful sister and my life was...is better having known her.  One of the ways I honor our relationship is by remembering all the good she added to my being, as well as others.

Jennifer will never be forgotten.  I have learned, as many have, that love doesn't end with death.  I don't say I loved her...I love her still and I'm certain she loves me too.  With that being said, Happy heavenly birthday, sister...God bless.

Happy Birthday Malcolm!

Today in 1925, African-American civil rights activist leader, Malcolm X was born.  He would be 86 years old.  May God bless his family.

The Autobiography of Malcolm X is one of my favorite books.  The reason being, it not only tells an interesting story, his story, but it showcases inspiration.  The story of Malcolm X, also known as El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz, is the story of an everyday man.  Your beginning and middle may get you to where you're going, but in the end you can still reinvent yourself.

Malcolm was a life learner that expanded his knowledge base whenever possible.  His mind was forever changing.  Many people have had varied and excitable opinions when it came to him, but his willingness to continue learning, by any means necessary (as Malcolm was known for saying) made him unique.

Malcolm widened his perception of the world and mankind. According to a PDF entitled, Malcolm X: Life and Death 1925-1965, found on www.wesleyan.edu, after Malcolm's pilgrimage to Mecca he directed his work toward all races and ethnicities.  He preached to them about human rights, freedom, etc...

May we all continue to cherish the rights of all humans and the beauty of freedom.  Blessings always...
