Dear Wendy,
My Dear you have been a part of my life for 9 years. I have watched you grow into a very good mother. I have no doubt you love your children. I just wanted you to know that I love you.
Yes, Sweetie, I love you. It is impossible to pray for someone daily and not love them. I have spent many hours asking YHVH to bless you.
I pray for your good health. You must be healthy to be the best mom you can be for my grandchildren. That is why I paid for your medication and telephone when my son was deep in his addiction and wasn't there. I ask my Father in heaven to keep you healthy.
I pray for your success. When you are successful it is good for my grandchildren. They will share in the benefits of your success with you and they are learning perseverance from your example. I cheered with you when you finished nursing assisting classes and passed your tests. I was so very proud of you. I knew if you hung in there you could do it. And now you are gainfully employed using the education you worked for. Well done.
I pray for your relationship. Yep, I do. When it became apparent that you were moving on, and had no interest in saving your husband or marriage, I decided to pray you find stability in a relationship. Anyone you bring into my grandchildren's lives affects them. So I pray Jimmy is the stability you need. The fewer relationships you have the better. The children need the stability as well. I pray he is good to you. How he treats you is just as important as how he treats the children. It sets examples for them for better or worse. If he is good to you Millie will seek a man who is good to her, and Charlie will treat women well from watching Jimmy's example. Since you have primary custody, Jimmy is a constant presence in the lives of my grandchildren. I pray for him as well.
I seek YHVH about forgiving you. I do have difficulty from time to time. The way our relationship has been so contemptuous has been a bit stressful. I have come to terms with the fact that you have always seen me as an enemy. It will never matter what or how much I do, my generosity will not buy me into your good graces. I am supportive of your parenting and authority over my grandchildren because it is good for them. I would never undermine your place as their mother, but you just can't see that. Bottom line is I pray for you, I love you because I pray for you. All because it is good for my grandchildren.
Yours truly,
Teresa, your ex-mother-in-law

Where to begin?
In the season of celebrating the miracles that transpired when the Temple was being prepared for rededication unto YHVH, I am starting a blog to help me stay on tract rededicating my body the Temple unto YHVH daily. To keep the Temple clean, and an acceptable and Holy place for the indwelling of the Spirit.
Where oh where to begin? I bought a new book from a herbalist friend of mine Lucinda Gibbs Robinson, it will help me (1) stay physically healthy, naturally, with what YHVH has provided. http://www.naturalherbaltherapy.info/p/books.html I have contacted her many times over the years regarding one physical ailment or another. She has always been gracious and spot on right with her advice. Hopefully I can meet her in person one day. I am loving the book, by the way.
Keeping Ya's appointed times and seasons is essential to being set apart unto YHVH so I need see my failings in this area and make it a priority to be (2) more proactive in Keeping the Sabbath Holy. Exodus 31:13 “Say to the Israelites, ‘You must observe my Sabbaths. This will be a sign between me and you for the generations to come, so you may know that I am the Lord, who makes you holy. Isaiah 56:2 Blessed is the one who does this— the person who holds it fast, who keeps the Sabbath without desecrating it, and keeps their hands from doing any evil.”Isaiah 58:13-14 “If you keep your feet from breaking the Sabbath and from doing as you please on my holy day, if you call the Sabbath a delight and the Lord’s holy day honorable, and if you honor it by not going your own way and not doing as you please or speaking idle words, then you will find your joy in the Lord,
I tend to stress out and loose sleep and weight over issues I have no or very little control over, I realize I cannot add a single hour to my life by worrying, so I need to find ways to learn to (3) rest in Him and not stress so much. Psalm 91:1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. Proverbs 19:23 The fear of the Lord leads to life; then one rests content, untouched by trouble. Matthew 11:28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Hebrews 4:9 There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; Hebrews 4:10 for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works, just as God did from his.
This past year I got an elliptical machine, I was doing really well getting on there and making progress, then my dad died. So, I haven't been back on it since May. I need to (4) exercise. I've never been big on exercise, I've gone thru periods of time where I was dedicated to running and Pilates, but...I'm not consistent. I'm gonna really have to work on this one.
I believe with all my heart that withholding forgiveness will damage the vessel in which it is stored more than the object on which it is poured. For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins. And, when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins. I have experienced many dark days because I was holding a grudge against someone, I even had difficulties with other relationships because of that unforgiveness, I am determined to (5) forgive, and not hold grudges.
I believe words have power, much more power than most of us realize. Negative words do cause damage, Sticks and Stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me just isn't true. Words do cause wounds, and some wounds caused by words may never heal. (6) Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of my mouth, but only what is helpful for building others up. Psalm 34:12-4 Whoever of you loves life and desires to see many good days, keep your tongue from evil and your lips from telling lies. Turn from evil and do good; Proverbs 15:4 The Soothing tongue is a tree of life, but a perverse tongue crushes the spirit.
I hope and pray each day that no words will escape my mouth that do not bring honor to my Creator and Savior. I aim that each encounter I have with another living being is a positive one.
I read that as a woman of my age, my body is made up of 55% water, or should be. I have never drank very much water, but my cuticles were dry and cracking, my skin was crepe and itchy, even my scalp itches (my hair dresser says everything looks ok), so the answer must be that I need to consume more water (7) drink more water. At work, Monday thru Thursday, I am very good at drinking 8 to 16 ounces of water each hour to hour and a half, but on my days off I'm not so good. I have developed a good habit of bringing iced water in my Yeti wherever I go. So there's a start.
So far this is my plan, I expect I will add to this list as time goes on. Any support and encouragement is welcomed. TTFN ♥
