The Saving Grace In An Ashtray
===============================
.
God places people in our path for us to be a blessing.
.
Growing up in New York in a single parent household, my mother
would always get on me about giving things away. I can remember
as far back at the age of seven, I gave a little girl my shoes
off my feet because I saw a need. My mother would always say
that I would never have anything, but that way of thinking never
was in my mindset.
.
I know that in accordance to God’s will, when He instructs us to
give, we must be obedient because in all actuality, it all
belongs to Him. I believe if every person heeded God’s voice
when He instructs them to bless someone, we would be in a better
position as a country and as a people.
.
My son and I were in Powder Springs driving home down Hwy 278
when we saw this young woman walking, looking as though she was
exhausted. I made a U-turn and came back around and asked her
could we give her a ride. She took the offer immediately.
.
As I am driving I hear God’s voice say to give her the money
that I had in my ashtray. I don’t smoke so I would keep change
or throw the dollars I have in the ashtray.
.
The only thing was that I knew that I had $300 in the astray.
.
I didn’t hesitate, nor was I upset about His request, I just
heeded. As I dropped her off to her destination I could see that
it was an environment of drugs, sexual perversions and God knows
what. As she was thanking me for the ride, I took the money out
of the ashtray and balled it up in my hand and placed it in her
hand.
.
She didn’t know what I was giving her and I asked her not to
think nothing of it and told her that God loves her and that He
is with her every step of the way. I gave her my business card
and told her if she ever needed to get to church call me and I

Our only hope, as it turns out,
is the greatest miscarriage of justice
in all of history.
It has thrown wide the gates of heaven
to all.
O, how He loves us
unconditionally !!!!

Attitude
=========
.
The longer I live,
the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.
.
Attitude to me is more important than facts.
.
It is more important than the past, than education, than money,
than circumstances, than what other people think, or say or do.
.
It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill.
.
It will make or break a company, a church or a home.
.
The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the
attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our
past. We cannot change the fact that people will act in a
certain way. We cannot change the inevitable.
.
The only thing that we can do is to play on the one string we

An Inch
========
.
In today’s technological age, we often hear about the wide
stretches of the Internet. We are used to telescopes making
discoveries in distant planets. How often do you hear about the
power of an inch?
.
That’s right just an inch.
.
I talked with one of my friends yesterday who is staying in
another country. Even though it sounded like he was only a few
feet away through the phone, the sound was actually traveling
thousands of miles. That’s technology and that’s impressive.
But I’ve also been impressed lately by the power of an inch.
.
You are probably saying now “What do you keep talking about the
power of an inch, an inch doesn’t have any power.”
.
I’m talking about the inch that two muscles of each side of your
mouth moves when you smile. It takes tens of muscles to frown
but only two to smile. This is a power that every person can
wield no matter what economic level they are or how much
technology they have.
.
I began to notice the power when going through checkout lines.
If I smiled when I got up to the register, it made the cashiers
smile even though they had customer after customer to ring up.
.
Most of the people probably didn’t even consciously notice they
were smiling. It was as if my mouth moving a inch on each side
made some kind of unconscious knee jerk kind of reflex happen in
their brains. Without using hypnosis or offering people money,
you could get people to respond.
.
You never know what one smile can do to a person’s day.
.
Imagine a homeless person on the street sitting on a corner with
dirty clothes on and everybody passing by not wanting to even
look at them because they are afraid of what they might beg for.
.
Now imagine what it would do for that same person if someone
looked them straight in the eyes and gave them a big genuine
smile and actually spoke to them first and said “Good afternoon,
it’s good to see you today.”
.
Sometimes work beats us down so much that by the time we get
home our children may not see a smile the entire evening.
.
In some marriages, smiles even among spouses have gone the way
of the retired practice of opening a car door during dating. As
I even thought about it, a smile and knowledge are two of the
