Weekly Photo Challenge: The Inspiration of Christ

I would venture to say that the majority of people live for themselves and live for the day now.  I can’t blame them.  I have never seen much sense in life or existence as purely haphazard or lived for self.  As much as I like things “my way” I know it’s not realistic and it’s actually downright selfish.  I know Oprah has been spouting “Living Your Dreams” for many years now, but before Oprah, was someone called Jesus.

Jesus spoke of living abundantly because of Him.  In the context he spoke of this, John 10:10, he pointed out how those that came before Him were thieves and robbers.   He was not that way, he spoke of the way to live abundantly in the truth and love here and eternally.  Most others, even your “Oprahs” or motivational speakers, want something.  They want money from us, from anyone and everyone.  They want to live in mansions and have the world at their command, not God’s command.  Jesus never wanted anything from anyone on this physical plane.  He said if you loved Him, to keep His commandments of loving God and loving one another.

Jesus is my inspiration to treat others as I wish to be treated.  To not expect any treasures while I am on this earth, but to live according to God’s will and look forward to heaven.  I pray everyday to do God’s will and not my own and be lead in the spirit to be able to further God’s kingdom while I am on this earth.  Jesus was willing to die to save our souls.  God gave His only Son for Us.  It is the least I can do.

Daily Prompt: You’re a Winner!

OMG!!

No, seriously, it could not have happened at a better time in my life since I’m about to be evicted by years end, jobless and penniless.  I am so thankful that I finally won a lotto of any kind, since I’ve been buying tickets for many years now.

As an ex employee of the IRS, not sure how you guys got past the whole tax thing, unless this is a billion dollars after tax.

The first thing I’m going to do is pay off this house that I could no longer afford and then give it to a needy vet with some money in a bank account for the first few years until they get settled in.  Then I’m pulling up all the info I have on some folks that I’ve always wanted to help if I get the money.  Some are strangers, some acquaintances, but all with various financial needs like a local woman who died from an accident years ago in Dearborn and she had two small boys she wanted to send to college one day.  There are those in my family that are mentally ill that need to be taken care of.  I would take care of all my family and friends, as well as the local food banks and Christian shelters in the area.

There is a lot of needy people in this world and thank God that someone like me has finally won a lot of money so a lot of good can be done instead of those that waste the money on big houses and fast cars and drugs.  Thank you God in the name of Jesus, I can finally make a difference to many of your other needy people in this world.meface

I hope this isn’t some kind of a Daily Post hoax because I will be despondently disappointed.
