AMOUR à PARIS

Happy Blessed Wednesday Family,

For today's Mona Girl Blog, Holy Spirit has me sharing with you a Powerful Message from another one of my Fave websites....Pktfuel.com entitled: Grieve For Paris - A Few Thoughts on Global Violence. I KNOW the deeply sad and horrific events that took place last week in Paris are still on our Hearts.  And I KNOW WE ALL continue to Pray (PRAY) for Our Brothers and Sisters in France. I leave you now to one of Our Lord's Mighty Servants as HE speaks through Lizzy to US......

I was at my son’s 6th Birthday party when I heard about the horrific attacks in Paris. As I read about the details and watched the news footage, I was heartsick and distraught. I grieve for the loved ones of all those whose lives were taken and send prayers and love and grace.

I was going to post about it that night, but something made me pause. I didn’t want to post a tribute and then forget about it as I got back into the rhythm of my life here in Australia.

My thoughts:

I don’t just grieve for the victims families, but for the perpetrators as well. I grieve that people choose a life of hatred and violence, that we become so hell bent on destroying each other in fights over land and religion and freedom. Fights fueled by fear and ignorance.

I grieve for Beirut, for Baghdad, for Syria… for the corners of the earth some of us are more unwilling to call our own (like we have Paris), for the lands and people some would like to forget and ignore. I grieve for the refugees locked away in a detention not fit for any human soul, let alone those who have run from a terror that we cannot even begin to imagine.

I grieve for every family who has had a loved one murdered, taken by drugs, lost to suicide.
I grieve for the lonely and abandoned.
I grieve for every wife and husband who gets beaten day in, day out.
I grieve for every child that hides under their bed at night fearing what the dark brings.
I grieve for governments and corporations who lift up profit over life.
I grieve for a world who cannot for the love of God see that it is destroying itself day by day by day.

It expresses itself violently throughout the world like it has in Paris, Beirut, and in Bagdad. But it’s source resides everywhere.

It lives within us all.

The notion of separateness, that some are better than others, and that there is not ‘enough’ to go around… these are embryos of chaos and terror.

The notion of separateness and there's not enough to go around are the embryos of chaos and terror.CLICK TO TWEET

We can send love to Paris, Beirut and Baghdad, they need to feel our love and support. But we can be part of the change here by loving our enemies, praying for our persecutors, forgiving those that want to destroy us and seeking peace with our neighbours.

I know that there are grey areas, it’s a tough issue and with no clear answers. But the responsibility for change doesn’t rest with our governments. It is our responsibility.

And we can make a difference.

And we should.

Much Love and Continued Blessings Family!!

GRATEFUL, GRATEFUL, GRATEFUL.........

I so Treasure the **Time** Our Lord Blesses US with to share with each other Every Wednesday through His Mona Girl Blog!  Loves, YOU just don't KNOW, (Hallelujah!!).....what a JOY it is to read your comments via email, to Pray with YOU, to get uber excited about what Our Lord is doing in Your Lives, to just Be Still and KNOW We are connected, We are linked, We are united, We are bonded together on this Mighty Journey called Life.........Oh Yeah!! When I Stop and think about it, IT is Overwhelming!!  Thank YOU Jesus!!

Family, as you can tell, Holy Spirit has Me in PRAISE Over Drive!! As I close out our time together today (so I can go bask in HIM), below is a Scripture Our Heavenly Father placed on my Heart this morning to share with You.  PLEASE, PLEASE read it slowly, read it Several Times, read it in the morning, read it before you hit the pillow tonight....read it while on the subway.......read it at work.......just **Read It** and let the Awesomeness and Power of HIS Word SOAK deep into Your Beautiful Heart, Mind and Soul.

It's EXACTLY how I TRULY feel.....and how I GENUINELY Pray for Each and Every One of YOU!! God LOVES YOU and so do I!! And I'm sooooooo VERY, VERY GRATEFUL for Your Presence in my Life. Oh Yeah!!!  Thank YOU again for stopping by every Wednesday to see "What Thus Saith The Lord."

"My response is to get down on my knees before the Father, this magnificent Father who parcels out all heaven and earth.  I ask him to strengthen you by his Spirit - not a brute strength but a glorious inner strength - that Christ will live in you as you open the door and invite him in.  And I ask him that with both feet planted firmly on love, you'll be able to take in with all followers of Jesus the extravagant dimensions of Christ's love.  Reach out and experience the breadth!  Test its length!  Plumb the depths! Rise to the heights! Live FULL lives, FULL in the FULLNESS Of God.

God can do ANYTHING, you know - far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams!  He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us." (Ephesians 3:16-20, MSG, emphasis Mona)

"The day you were born was the day God decided that the world could not exist without you." -Rabbi Nachman of Breslov

THE BIRDS & THE BEES.....THE FLOWERS & THE TREES.....

Happy Blessed Wednesday Family,

Before we get into today's Message, I MUST...I GOTTA take a few moments to CONGRATULATE My Mighty Mets Men!! WOW! We were in the World Series Y'all!! THE WORLD SERIES!! So PROUD, PROUD, PROUD of the Talented, Gifted and BLESSED New York Mets Men!! Thank YOU for an Amazing, Exciting, Can't Make This Stuff Up 2015 Season! You got me ALL excited and amped up for Spring Training.  Can't WAIT to see what You've got in store for US next year.  Oh Yeah!! Thank You Lord!! #JustWatch!! #Bright,BrightFuture!! #LGM!!

OK!!  NOW, it's time for today's Mona Girl Blog, which is about NATURE.  Holy Spirit's been drawing me more and more into His Presence in Nature.  After all, Our Mighty Lord God created the Heavens and the Earth by **SPEAKING** them into existence......Whewee! Now that's what I call a Powerful Mouthful of Postitivity!

"When he spoke, the world was created; at his command everything appeared." (Psalm 33:9, GNT)

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." (Genesis 1:1, NIV)

So when I'm chill-laxin outside, inside looking out the window, walking down the street, laying in bed drifting off to sleep, running errands, sitting at the ball park, on the golf course, etc., etc.......I've become uber aware of Nature and its Awesome, Powerful, Magnificence in our daily lives.  From the birds I hear chirping throughout the day; to the squirrels I see in the park; to the brilliant blue sky with its puffy white clouds; to the sound of the wind rustling through the trees; to the stunning colors of the leaves as they change from bright green to shades of deep rust, orange and gold; to the fireball orange sun, lavender and pink sky at sunset; to the Awesomeness of when Nature just stops and gives us a few seconds of absolute Silence......Oh Yeah!! Talk about "Seeing God in EVERYTHING"........NATURE, His Creation, is just AMAZING!!

What's so cool is that each time you are Awed by Nature, it's NEVER in the same way.  When you take Notice of Nature, when you're really aware....its daily Magnificence is different each time.  No two birds songs are alike, no cloud is identical in size/shape, no breeze feels the same on our skin, no crystalized snowflake is exactly the same design........God continues to show up and show off His Mighty and Powerful Hand in NATURE!!

As I sit here penning His Mona Girl Blog, the trees are doing a beautiful song and dance with the sound of the wind rustling through the leaves and the back and forth swaying of the branches....it's ALL in Perfect Harmony....and ONLY Our Sovereign Lord could orchestrate this Beautiful vision that is Blessing my heart and soul Right Now!!

Yeah, Yeah, I can hear you: "But Mona, I live in a Big City with lots of traffic, non-stop construction, off the chart noise....very un-Nature-like surroundings".  Well Loves, I hear ya loud and clear but ALL the stuff that I described above, is exactly what I've experienced in NYC.  Walking down the street, gazing out the window, taking a moment to chill in the Park or looking up in the sky.  So No Matter where you live, Big City or Small Town........NATURE is Always on display for Us, we just have to take a moment to STOP, LOOK and LISTEN! And when We do, WOW!! We will get an eye and ear full.....We will get an Awesome shot to our souls.........We will experience Our Heavenly Father speaking to us, touching  us, teaching us in a one-on-one, take your Breath away experience through His Creation....NATURE!!

"If you want to learn, then go ask the wild animals and the birds, the flowers and the fish. Any of them can tell you what the Lord has done.  Every living creature is in the hands of God." (Job 12:7-10, CEV)

Family, as we close out our time together, I encourage You to take a pause today, tomorrow...Right Now and just take in NATURE around You.  Stop, Look and Listen for a second in your busy day to the Awesomeness of Our Lord speaking to YOU through His Creation......through NATURE! Oh Yeah, Your day will NOT be the same, I can promise you that!! You will be fueled and filled...Mind, Body and Soul!

Continued Success & Blessings!!
