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

Sometimes God leaves me on a path. I may not know where. It may not be where I want to go but, I trust God. I know that God will always take care of me. This does  "not" mean I'm going to just sit back and be a victim of circumstance. No, definitely not! God made me the person I am. As this person, I am still "His Work In Progress!"  I trust God and will always ask My Lord's guidance, protection and safety in my prayers to my Lord. You know something? In this tilt-a-whirl of life, I know I'll be okay. I know this because I am in the arms of God!  Wherever I go from here, home or somewhere else, I know that' it's where I need to be. God doesn’t necessarily send you where you want to go but, sends you where He needs you. And that, my friends, is where I'm supposed to be! ,  Love,    Evelyn Pinto   October 9, 2017 (edited)

It was on an early Sunday night when my niece, Anita and my nephew, Brandon took me to see my mother at her home. It was a night of fun, laughs, card playing with the sweetest touch of all, when we all my feasted on my mother’s homemade chicken soup. My mother has a breathtaking view from her apartment’s patio. Though it was a cloudy Sunday night, it was nice to see this magnificent view from high up! My mother is the most loving person. My niece, Anita, impresses and inspires me as she walks steadfast in the Christian faith. My nephew, Brandon, is a loving teenager. I do realize how difficult it is to be a teenager (or a mother of a teen) in this time. Brandon, though, impresses me on how helpful he is and how much he cares for others. One thing though, my mother did beat Brandon under the table, playing cards!                     ...

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!       ...

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

I'm in God's Hands And there is no place I would rather be in than in God's Hands - Ever!                                                      by Evelyn Pinto
