ME-as I go through this zany, marvelous, difficult experience called: "LIFE"!

Someone accused me of not being a Christian because of my political beliefs. First of all, I am a witness of Jesus Christ and I try to be an example of Jesus with love, faith , and an acceptance of other people regardless of age brackets, financial states, political beliefs and religious beliefs. As a Christian and an American, I really hate name calling and bullying, especially from people who are supposed to the leaders of our country. This kind of rhetoric divides people, rather than unifying people. I really want people to come together and talk (perhaps eat a meal together). I may have different beliefs than others. I hear hateful speech towards me also. I really dislike verbal attacks and hate speech. I will, though, defend others’ rights to believe as they do, vote differently and say what you need to say. It is called “Freedom!” Please, though, cut out the hate speech toward me, especially on social media. Thank you!            Evelyn Pinto

My definitions of “Life”: A gift from God A space of time that I occupy Moments in Time A series of accomplishments An amount of time given to me with an expiration date I’ve been thinking….. It’s not important what I call “Life.” What I do with my Life is most significant The 1 st job I will give myself is to surrender ultimately to God, I will ask His guidance and help in whatever Life will throw at me Yes, I will begin by submitting to the Will of God,                           Evelyn Pinto                          September 25, 2017

I was thinking about love lately. Here are my thoughts of love: Love is being there Love is sacrifice Love is going out of your way Love is when the happiness of the ones you love, comes before your own Love is being with them when, especially when they are in need Whether they be ill, hurting or just feeling alone Love is also being there to rejoice with them In special occasions and accomplishments Love is “not” giving excuses                                   Evelyn Pinto                                  September 23, 2017

Why is Pain So Loud? Love and prayers,                    Evelyn Pinto

After a restless night and a long, dreary day, jam-packed day of doctors’ appointments, irritating people and troublesome circumstances, I observed, with an unplanned motivation, the sunset that evening. Clearly, I witnessed the beauty, the formation and the change happening before me. The day was long, tiresome and exhausting. Admiring the sunset that evening changed my perspective of the day and what it had eventually turned out to be. It was a marvelous and perfect end to my day. I glanced once more at the sunset. I bowed my head and gave thanks to God for allowing me to see His beauty, His wonders and His miracles in that day. Praise God!             Evelyn Pinto            September 12, 2017                                                      Photographs taken by Evelyn Pinto

Why is pain so loud? I am in severe pain. I live with chronic pain. In the past few weeks, the severity of the pain I feel is more. This pain in my body is more frequent and longer in duration. Going back to the question of the pain being loud, it seems to drown out the good in my life. My joy, at times, becomes bellows of hurting. The beautiful things in my life become dreary. The good times with my friends and family have seemed less. I realize that God has sent me beautiful wonders and caring people for a reason. The reason is to cherish them, love them and relish in their beauty despite the pain. Seeing the love in people and the miracles around me can help me through the pain. It’s difficult, yes, but, I so want to leave the darkness of pain and go into the light of beauty and love. Please, God, help me see Your goodness today.                            Evelyn Pinto                           September 8, 2017

Concering Evelyn: You can't take the child out of the adult.

My mother, Gloria Pinto’s, Birthday is today, August 31st. Please, if you’re able to, wish het a “Happy Birthday”! On this August day, my mother is 89 years young. Besides being the most important person in my life, my mother is also a kind, loving and caring human being! Everyone who knows my mother is blessed by her empathy, love and compassion for others, and that special, innocent love she has for children. I think that I’ve inherited the abundant love I have for children from my mother! My mother, Gloria Pinto, is totally amazing, totally! I love my mom considerably! The love I have for my mother has no boundaries. I pray my mother has a splendid birthday! I’m fortunate and blessed to have my mother. I just wish I could spend more time with her. With sincerity, love and hope, My mother's daughter,                         Evelyn (Pinto)                        August 31, 2017
