Seeds of Hope Nuggets

As we seek to close out 2011 which brought to each of us highs and lows....great joy at times, then much sorrow. For there have been far too many losses of dear loved ones....Oh the pain of grief ! As we close out this old year we are not certain of what this New Year will bring. My heart cries out for the children and young people of our nation. Young men and women have become so angry....They are hurting so deeply from within and are acting out in such a dangerous and violent way. Many have been robbed of their innocence from an early age. They are confused about who they are. Those whom they trusted to take care of them have abused and abandoned them. The hurt and pain of rejection... being told from a child.... " You are no good.

Are you crazy. Can't you see I'm not dead ?" As he was about to take a bite.....My voice projected "JESUS" Immediately that buzzard halted....He had a confused expression on his face as he flew away. I turned and walked away feeling really bugged so to speak. Being fully aware that buzzards normally show up to dispose of dead carcases. Then I wondered...How could this buzzard think I was dead ? The startling revelation interrupted of you and I who profess and confess we are Christians walking in the Spirit....only to experience complete defeat in almost every area of our lives. Many times we are bombarded by the foe (Satan). The flesh would rise high reeking havoc in our lives. This is ev
