Thanksgiving

Sometimes I wonder if people really understand what Thanksgiving is all about.  I'm sure we all have our own idea about it and this one is mine.  Thanksgiving is a time to forgive, it's a time to get closer to your family, your children, your spouse.  Thanksgiving is a time to worship.  As a matter a fact, He has to come first.  Thank the Lord, first of all, for being here.  You woke up this morning, but somewhere in the world someone didn't.  Thank Him.  Thank Him also for keeping you all these years, guiding your steps, opening doors for you, and making your life sweet.  Give the Lord thanks for His mercy and grace.  We don't deserve what he does for us, but he does it out of his love for us.  Thanksgiving is a time to sit back and reflect on your life with friends and family and how fruitful your life has been.  You have a lot to be thankful for even if you don't think so, think a little longer. 

Love One Another

My name is Jasper and I have a friend who is a Minister and she attended an event where love filled the room.  I could just see the joy in her eyes when she spoke about how everyone prayed and hugged each other.  This event called for Ministers and Saints from all over the country and from all over the world.  It was an awesome event as she told me how people were instructed on how to give forgiveness.  She said things that were hidden deep in our hearts were brought out as a result of this spiritual event.  I wish I had had an opportunity to be there.  It sounded like a good time to cleanse ones heart.  This event was held at Ford Field.  She said the stadium was packed, letting me know that there are many people seeking spiritual relief.  God is the way.  There is no other way than by him.  If you have an opportunity to go to a spiritual retreat or a conference where love and spirituality will overflow you must attend.  You may get there and the Holy Spirit can reveal to you you're not quite as holy as you think.  But you have an opportunity right at that time to change, to grow for the better.  I believe in these events.  It's like going to a counselor.  He can only help you if you allow Him to.  My name is Jasper and these have been my thoughts.  Love you, God bless you and be a blessing. 

Halloween

Hello my name is Jasper and I have an opinion concerning Halloween.  I'm relieved to see so many parents have decided to do Halloween in a different manner than when I grew up.  You have to recognize and understand the times that we're living in are often dangerous.  When I was a kid we would go in the streets and go to the all the stores we could and all the houses even if you didn't know the person who lived there.  Everything was safe.  No one really tried to hurt you in the street or there were no safety pins in the apples or any poison in the candy like it is today.  That's the reason that I'm so happy to see that parents have taken an active interest in their child's safety.  I've been hearing things such as a parent won't take their child to a house unless they know the person who lives there.  I don't hear a lot about going to different stores but rather sometimes your company who will give a Halloween party or someone you do know will host a Halloween party where you can go in and feel safe.  My Halloween days are over but it's fun to watch my daughters Halloween their kids.  The kids love dressing up in the different costumes, especially the girls who are little princesses on Halloween.  So bare in mine what type of world we live in and take your child out and Happy Haunting!
