  • Look at the little Christian girl!! She thinks that she’s so cool!  What makes her so special? She’s just a crazy fool.  Everyone says, it’s all pretend, That there’s no truth to what she says.. that Jesus is a Friend!


    *~~~~~~~~~*
    Jesus ”the friend of tax collectors and sinners” (Luke 7:34). He befriended the alienated, morally down and out people of His day. ” Jesus loved the sinner but hated the sin. He treated people he came in contact with as individuals of great worth .


     He looks at you and sees what you can become, not what you are. He holds out his hand and says, “Come, accept my friendship and be my friends.”


    ~From the heart of Fancy~


    Trying to be a good friend is important and we give our heart in friendship that’s certain.If we’ve been betrayed by a friend it’s a hurt hard to forget but we must somehow.The secret to attracting good friends in our life is by being a good friend.Love and hug’s Fancy



    1. Romans 5:6-8 “For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7- For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. 8- But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

    ~What is a good friend~


     


    1. Do things to raise the self-esteem of others. Be supportive, give them the benefit of the doubt, and don’t ridicule or belittle them.


    2. Persevere in your efforts outside your comfort zone to help the common good. Do things that help others to have better lives, and keep doing things even when you feel like quitting.


    3. Give the same effort to a fair decision you disagree with as to one you agree with. Try unto others when you disagree with them as you would want them to try unto you.


    4. Ask for help or assistance. Ask when you need help instead of acting like a victim or martyr and expecting people to feel sorry for you.


    5. Quickly and sincerely thank someone who has helped you. Be aware and grateful to others for their help — and tell them.


    6. Quickly offer help without the other person having to ask for it. When you notice that someone could use your help, offer it without waiting for them to ask.


    7. Forgive and forget after you’ve been hurt and quickly move on. When people make honest mistakes that hurt you, let it go as soon as possible. This doesn’t mean letting hurtful people hurt you again. Have a long memory for the good things that people do and a short memory for the bad things.


    8. Quickly recognize and earnestly apologize for your failures of commission or omission. Own up to mistakes you make. Say what you will do differently in the future to prevent them from reoccurring, then keep your commitment.


    9. Enthusiastically congratulate someone else on his or her achievement or good fortune. It’s normal to feel envy or even jealousy when good things happen to others, but you don’t have to give into these feelings and begrudge others or be ungracious.


    10. Give more to the world than you take from it. Do more things to put a smile on other people’s faces rather than focusing on what you think they should be doing for you.

    For me one step and one day at a time is enough most of the time. Hope you’ll enjoy these poems i found on line but they had no information on who wrote them that i could find.Ive had them a long time now i try to read them often so as to remind myself not to get ahead of God.


    Have a wonderful Day


     


    “One day at a time”
    When each day is difficult to do
    Never let tomorrow’s problems be blue.
    Live one day, one day at a time,
    This way you’ll find peace of mind.
    So seek the Lord at the start of the day
    And all your cares will go away!
    Talk to Jesus “my Lord” like a Friend,
    He’ll stay with you to the very end


     


    ONE STEP AT A TIME


    One step at a time, I heard my Master say,


    One step at a time and I’ll lead the way-


    Look unto Me, My child-


    Yea, I know the steps you must take;


    Look not to the east; look not to the west-


    Yea, My still, small voice is there to lead;


    Hold fast My hand when the darkness surrounds,


    When all seems naught and against you;


    Have I not promised to supply your every need-


    Every step to guide along the way?


    Yea, My child- My precious little one-


    My all is at your command;


    There’s no need to fear as I lead the way


    To open heaven’s door;


    I know your pathway, and I’ll carry you along;


    You’ll see all I’ve promised on the nail-scarred way;


    But have I not promised to lead you through?


    Hold fast to the anchor that holds your hand;


    Trust fully in My voice to lead you;


    Oh, lean upon My bosom, you weary child,


    Have not I followed in love before you?


    I know the way, I’ll lead you through


    As darkness surrounds you;


    For am I not the One to light the darkness


    In the midst of the deepest night;


    For yea, My child, I’m always there beside you


    To help you in every need;


    Go forth! Go forth!


    Hold fast My hand;


    I, Yahweh, will lead you through.

  • Happy St. Patty’s Day this wednesday lol i got mixed up and thought it was last week .


     


     



    Run hide I’ve been thinking again. But when God put’s something on my mind i cant hide it.


                      ~From Fancy’s heart~
    Being in the will of God means turning your heart to God and allowing him complete control over your own will.


    Sometimes this isn’t easy but it’s whats best for the child of God.There have been times in my life when i thought i was walking in the perfect will of God and found the direction was turning from what i thought to something entirely different.Yes we’ve all been there haven’t we? But thats ok because were all trying to please God and to walk in the path he would have us one step at a time.There are times i find myself thinking of this stuff. 


    God only holds us responsible for the truth we know.Not for the things we don’t know.


    Like holidays You know Easter is coming and already I’m thinking ” whats the Bunny  Rabbit got to do with Easter.Coloring eggs and hiding them , easter bonnets and  Jesus dying on the cross and his resurrection on the third day and salvation forgiveness of sin and eternal life.  How do these things get started… i am thinking. But it all goes back to paganism . I dont wanna get started so i better shut up.  And besides there’s no harm in the  Easter bunny is it? I just got to be me  ! Yes i know I’m starting early on Easter.


     I guess i better fix this… as long as we teach the truth about Easter and the true meaning of why we celebrate it then i guess it doesnt harm anything to hide egg’s  and i certainly love a Bonnet ! But i wont be hiding eggs around here i never did do that so i wont miss it. Now i know others can say all this better then me and i dont mind that.  I got started again didnt i and i didnt mean to really. I was thinking again….but you’ll know me .


    love fancy

    Mary’s Little Lamb
    Author Unknown


    Mary had a little Lamb,
    His fleece was white as snow.
    And everywhere that Mary went,
    The Lamb was sure to go.


    He followed her to school each day,
    When it wasn’t against the rules.
    He made the children laugh and play,
    To have a Lamb at school.


    Then the rules changed one day,
    Against the law it became.
    To bring the Lamb of God to school,
    Or even speak His Name.


    Every day got worse and worse,
    And days turned into years.
    Instead of hearing children laugh and play,
    You heard them crying tears.


    What must we do to stop the crime,
    That’s in our schools today?
    Let the Lamb of God come back to school,and teach our kid’s to pray 


        


    The Shepherd loved His little lamb,
    And gave it His tender care…
    And followed it with His loving eyes
    As it wandered here and there.


    And as He sat by His grazing flock
    Who so meekly His voice obeyed,
    He pondered sadly His little lamb
    As again and again it strayed


    The little lamb had a loving heart,
    And adored His Shepherd, true,
    But would turn aside and seek his own way
    As lambs will so often do.


    With His gentle voice the Shepherd called,
    To His loved and straying lamb,
    “Come back, little one, for you are not safe
    Unless you are where I am.”


    But still the lamb would soon forget
    And unthinkingly wander away,
    And not really noticing what he did,
    From the Shepherd’s side would stray.


    Until one day, the Shepherd kind
    Took His rod in His gentle hand,
    And what He then did seemed so cruel
    That the lamb could not understand.


    For with one sharp and well-aimed blow
    Down the rod so swiftly came
    That it broke the leg of the little lamb
    And left it crippled, and lame.


    Then the little lamb, with a cry of pain,
    Fell down upon his knees…
    And looked up at his Shepherd, as though to say,
    “Won’t you explain this, please?”


    Then he saw the love in the Shepherd’s eyes
    As the tears ran down His face,
    As He tenderly set the broken bone,
    And bound it back in it’s place.


    Now he was utterly helpless,
    He could not even stand!
    He must trust himself completely
    To his Shepherd’s loving hand.


    Then day by day, ’till the lamb was healed
    From the flock he was kept apart…
    And carried about in the Shepherd’s arms,
    And cradled near to His heart.


    And the Shepherd would whisper gentle words
    Into his now listening ear…
    Thus he heard sweet words of love
    That the other sheep could not hear.


    He felt the warmth of the Shepherd’s arms
    And the beat of His faithful heart…
    Until it came a blessing to seem,
    By his weakness to be set apart.


    Every need of the little lamb
    By his Shepherd so fully was met
    That through his brokenness he learned
    What he never again would forget.


    And as the broken bone was healed,
    And once more became whole and strong…
    Wherever the Shepherd’s path would lead,
    The lamb would follow along.


    Thus at the Shepherd’s side he walked
    So closely, day by day,
    For once a lamb has a broken leg
    It will never again go astray.


    For the cords of love had bound it so
    In its hour of weakness and need…
    That it had no desire to wander away,
    When once again it was freed.


    Could it be you are broken today,
    And you cannot understand
    The painful blow of the Shepherd’s rod
    Nor believe it came from His hand?


    He only seeks, by this painful thing,
    For a time to call you apart…
    To cradle you close in His loving arms,
    And draw you near to His heart.


    So look up into your Shepherd’s eyes,
    And earnestly seek His face…
    And prove in the hour of your weakness and need
    The sufficiency of His grace.


    For as you are borne in His loving arms,
    And carried there, day by day…
    He will bind you so close with the cords of His love
    That never again will you stray!

    There may be days when you get up in the morning and things aren’t the way you had hoped they would be.


    That’s when you have to tell yourself that things will get better. There are times when people disappoint you and let you down.


    But those are the times when you must remind yourself to trust your own judgments and opinions, to keep your life focused on believing in yourself.

    There will be challenges to face and changes to make in your life, and it is up to you to accept them.


    Constantly keep yourself headed in the right direction for you. It may not be easy at times, but in those times of struggle you will find a stronger sense of who you are.


    So when the days come that are filled with frustration and unexpected responsibilities, remember to believe in yourself and all you want your life to be.


    Because the challenges and changes will only help you to find the goals that you know are meant to come true for you.


    Keep Believing in Yourself.

    Legend of Saint Patrick
    Good St. Patrick travelled far, to teach God’s Holy Word
    And when he came to Erin’s sod, a wondrous thing occurred
    He plucked a shamrock from the earth and held it in His hand
    To symbolise the Trinity that all might understand
    The first leaf for the Father
    And the second for the Son
    The third leaf for the Holy Spirit
    All three of them in one.
