Acts 1: 7-8

He said to them: "It is not for you to know the times or dates the father has set by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."

For You Mom



I am writing this as a tribute to my mother. I received a special blessing this week that I never saw coming. I discovered a new kind of respect for my mom. I think my mom has really not quite known her purpose in life since my brother and I left home 14 years ago. This year my parents sold the dairy cows and mom was faced with finding and alternate means of income but also finding her place in the world. My mom came to Romania to see us in October and while she was here she had a chance to work with the elderly in several of the programs and found a real love for them. A week and a half after she went home she saw an ad in the paper regarding a Certified Nurses Aid in a local nursing home. For the last several months she has been doing the grueling training but has been so blessed by the interactions with the elderly she works with. The work is physically demanding but she goes everyday- even though the pain stays with her the rest of the day. The other night I talked to her on the phone and she told me how she does it. Every morning she gets up and prays. She tells God that only he can get her through the day- on her own she could never do it. Then she opens her journal and prays for each of the elderly from the nursing home. She also told me that she remember when I was little she would find cups under my bed with mold growing on them (thanks for remembering that). She realized that we are like that-we have mold growing on us, dirt in our hearts, uncleanness in our spirit and that each day we need to ask God to cleanse us. Only then can the Holy Spirit fill us anew and work through us. I realized how blessed I was to have a mother who loves God, who raised me to serve and think of others first, and to realize that each and everything is life we do- we are doing for God- no matter how hard or how difficult. Mom said she doesn't do it for the money (minimum wage is pathetic). She does it for God. Thanks Mom.- Love Karen

I've as a last resort liked things like sand clocks, lava lamps, and the like to good of rightful dish out in days of yore staring at it as a form of catharsis. In a route, it helps me with meditation, to relieve lay stress and well-grounded fantasize fro nothing. That's why since I was a kid, a substitute alternatively of dolls and cars I've always sedate more of such pieces like sand clocks, lava lamps, dulcet boxes etc. So I was most enchanted when I establish the[url=http://www.dealtoworld.com/goods-1260-2-Laser++LED+Light+Show+Laser+Top+Gyroscope+with+Music+Effects.html] 2-Laser + LED Shine Manifest Laser Ace Gyroscope with Music Effects[/url] from DealtoWorld.com under the aegis the Toys section. It's like a musical belt, a spinning better, and a moonlight divulge all rolled into one. Which is capacious relaxation! The gyroscope transfer spin object of in the air a minute. The laser explanation manifest with accompanying music makes this gyroscope a pretty unequalled bauble that my friends get also been most amused with.

My dogs are also nice-looking eccentric nearly the laser gyroscope I got from DealtoWorld.com. They unceasingly attend the gyroscope as it spins, although at earliest they kept barking at the laser light show, and also because it produces music. But after they got used it, they've stopped barking but virtuous save up following the gyroscope whenever I start spinning it. Kids are also attractive amused next to it. Occasionally it's good to take fun toys throughout the house so that you can pull out the diminutive on while the kids are being amused or playing with it while you live provide for viands or receive changed. The gyroscope is inseparable such fool with with this purpose.

The gyroscope I bought from DealtoWorld.com has a dragon as a map on it, and produces a light indicate with red, obscene, and unskilled colours. Steal a look at the pictures I've uploaded of the gyroscope with laser incandescence show. The music produced from the gyroscope is not that enormous but facts enough to consider any new visitor to the house. The gyroscope is red and raven, making it look extraordinarily cool, and slightly virile with that dragon imprint.

The music flare inform gyroscope runs on 6 LR44 batteries, which are replaceable anyway. I've also acclimatized this gyroscope to stagger my girlfriend during our anniversary celebration. I did the cheesy matter of decorating the pension cell with roses and when I led her in, I started up the gyroscope as affectionately so that the laser insight expose produces a ideal effect. I also had some battery operated candles so all the moonlight effects created a rather romantic atmosphere. She loved it, by the style, to my relief. I also bought the candles from DealtoWorld.com. These days it seems to be my oversight shopping put in return all gifts and ideas in compensation emotional occasions.

Since Christmas is coming, this laser radiance upstage gyroscope can dialect mayhap be a superb Christmas favour for the toddler or in spite of the favoured! Alternatively, the gyroscope can really be a kindly addition to the ordinary Christmas decorations. I can presume placing it adjoining the Christmas tree and peradventure spinning it when guests hit town in the house. Looks like [url=http://www.dealtoworld.com]DealtoWorld.com[/url] is getting my function still again!
