Number one HABIT

Posted on by Leave a comment

Breathing & praying are LIFE to me and my most important & #1 habit would be PRAYER while being aware of my breath at the same time ! ( Okay so that might technically be two … but I will put them together as one & recommend you do as WELL. )

Without breath we are not alive physically ~ but HOW ALIVE we feel depends on our breath and there is so much we need to learn & unlearn .

The book Breath by James Nestor & the teachings of Patrick McKeown have been SO beneficial to me that I recommend them to all .

For example : DID YOU KNOW that the Native American Grandmas & Moms would check the infants to make sure their mouths were closed when sleeping & close them if they were not?

THERE ARE MANY LOST REMEDIES that are coming back as science catches up with the Bible ( See Gen 2:7)

FOR NOW and /or & until you check them out~~` just laugh MORE and or go for a daily walk TO BREATH MORE & listen to nature talk which can be a way of how Creator speaks to us I have found ~ we all sleep better when we walk & talk daily with our Creator In Creation !

The hospital is full of shallow breathers ~ may we not become one of them I pray.

(often disease is caused because of stress and how one deals or does not deal with stress )

To be spiritually alive is to be connected thru prayer with our Creator about all of life including our stresses.

Our Father in Heaven who gives us breath & life both physical & spiritual will give us answers if we listen because He cares! 1 Peter 5:7  Let GOD have all your worries and cares, for he is always thinking about you and watching everything that concerns you.

My prayer is that we all will BREATH WELL & PRAY continually TO BE WHOLE ~ so that our body, soul & spirit can soar above all the earthly pressures & trials and we can bring heaven to earth ~ with JOY , PEACE & right~living ONE LAUGH & PRAYER AT A TIME ~ more easily able to share kindness & love to all .

MAY WE FULLY ENJOY THIS PRECIOUS GIFT OF LIFE WE ARE GIVEN DAILY !

May our hearts be FULL OF WONDER THIS WEEK LIKE A CHILD ~ laughing & learning & perhaps even skipping again and /or humming or singing ( some of the greatest health & stress relievers and NO COST even ~ money back guaranteed ! )

When is the last time you skipped or hummed ? Get a friend or a neighbor to join you & you’ll both be giggling & feeling younger together ~ PERHAPS EVEN START A CLUB ? !

LET’S BE FULLY ALIVE ~~ like a child yet not childish ~ knowing we are FULLY KNOWN & FULLY LOVED

FOR WE ARE MADE BY LOVE TO GIVE & RECEIVE LOVE ~

AS A MOTHER & GRANMA of many that is my truth & I am sticking with it ~ and IT WORKS FOR ME even in the most stressful situations including deathbeds & traumatic events. BREATHING & PRAYING ARE VITAL ! I have buried two sons & a marriage after 33 years among other tragedies.

PRAYER works for me with no bad side effects ~ What works for you ?

WHAT IS YOUR ONE HABIT that makes everything else work better for your day & life ?

FOR ME IT IS BEING AWARE OF MY BREATH AS I PRAY WITH A GRATEFUL HEART TO MY GOD & OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN NO MATTER WHAT I have learned to Trust & just keep breathing while talking to & listening for HEAVEN’S voice & reading the Bible as if it was a love letter daily just for me & you ~which it is !

I AM PRAYING FOR YOU NOW TO TAKE A LONG SLOW STEADY BREATH LIFTING UP YOUR HANDS TO RELEASE ALL THE TENSION WITH A THANK YOU LOOKING UP IN YOUR MINDS EYE & A LISTENING HEART TO GOD FOR THAT BREATH ~ MAY YOU HEAR THE VOICE OF HEAVEN & RECEIVE THE LOVE THAT IS BEING WHISPERED TO YOU EVEN NOW AS I WRITE THIS ….

AHHH…. and HUG YOURSELF 3 times LONG & STRONG ~ ending with a little tickle & a neck rub? !!

May you have a blessed day & night more than usual seeing all the WONDER ~ with

SWEET HEALING DREAMS TO YOU & me too

& ALL ~~

AND MAY WE ALL WAKE RESTED & REFRESHED & EXCITED TO LIVE & SHARE JOY WITH SOMEONE ALONG WITH HEAVENLY PEACE ….

NO MATTER WHAT ~~

lovingly

Granma ” Gigi” to 8 so far

.Genesis 2:7 says ~

then the LORD God formed [that is, created the body of] man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and the man became a living being [an individual complete in body and spirit]

THE NOSE IS FOR BREATHING ~ PRAYER IS FOR LIFE !

His weak body became strong & he walked 5 miles almost daily until the last week of his life at age 80 after medical mistakes were made . He lived well & healthy until we sang him to his home in heaven and the room was full of heavenly peace as we saw the smile on his face. GLORY GLORY HALLELUJAH ! … May all our lives be that joyful, vibrant in service to cheering others as my dear daddy born 1912 ! His faith in GOD inspires me to this day & his health habits do too …and the top of the list is walking & rebounding & especially reading the BIBLE & PRAYER !!

FULL OF THANKS

Posted on by Leave a comment

img_3305Writers like to play with words and when we study languages we learn even more about the depth & meaning of words and it enriches our lives.

When we are full of thanks and count our blessings we can not help but be joy ~full.

GRAPE~FULL to me means to be Full of GRATITUDE & JOY!

And wine in the Bible represents JOY just like the Holy Spirit. Since I do not drink alcohol except on very rare occasions ~ I find it fascinating to see the similarity in and out of the Bible about “being under the influence” of good and not so good things!

The Holy Spirit fills us with JOY even in circumstances that would normally be dreary or sad, similar to alcohol but with no “hang over”.

This Thanksgiving, I am most thankful for the time I got to spend with my children & grandchildren recently since they are living long distances away from me and I AM thankful  for the HOLY SPIRIT enabling me

to stay JOY~filled when I am missing them and the many that I loved that have departed from this earthly & physical existence. I now, for the past year live the town that my dad loved & died in 23 years ago and my mother also died 20 years ago after moving back to Germany. I also miss other relatives, including my first born son, whose mission on earth was completed in just one week!

I am amazed by the gift of comfort their deaths have gifted me with for others & myself thanks to the HOLY SPIRIT OF JESUS CHRIST & GOD THE FATHER !

Be COMFORTED by the BEST COMFORTER EVER ~ THE HOLY SPIRT !

JUST ASK GOD, OUR FATHER and BELIEVE THAT WE WILL BE GIVEN JUST WHAT WE NEED ~ JUST WHEN WE NEED IT….THEN WE ALL CAN BE ÜBER THANKFUL TOGETHER~
BRINGING THE KINGDOM COME ON EARTH as it IS IN HEAVEN!

A KINGDOM OF GRACE & TRUTH & PERPETUAL REST & THANKS~ LIVING & LOVING!

Leave a comment & I will pray for you if you like and/or also tell us what YOU ARE MOST THANKFUL FOR THIS YEAR?

Happy THANKSGIVING~ BLESSED THANKS LIVING DAILY!

If you do not have family close by or still living , consider helping out at a thanksgiving gathering in your town. Last year, I was so blessed to go to 5 different ones & welcome strangers as if they were Jesus…and Guess WHAT ….?….

Jesus said , ” …I was hungry and you fed me… I was thirsty & YOU GAVE ME WATER…

I was a stranger and you took me in…”….. Matthew 25:35-40

GO SEE JESUS TODAY! …by reaching out to a hungry & thirsty for LOVE ~ STRANGER!!!!!

lovinly,

aunt*ruth

grace always

Psalm 100

I recommend giving directly to the needy yourself and you will get to see lives be transformed. Spending time hearing the stories of the people that we pass in our daily lives & being prepared with a smile, a kind word and some food to share will bless you more than you would ever imagine.

THE WAY TO PREPARE FOR HEAVEN IS TO LIVE HEAVENLY NOW~

BE THANKFUL & GIVE AWAY WHAT YOU HAVE~ like JESUS TAUGHT US!

AND YOU TOO WILL BE FULL OF THANKS & JOY in favor with GOD & ALL!

IT’S LIKE STAYING HI without drugs or alcohol!!!

STAYING GRATEFUL & SHARING JESUS ABUNDANT LIFE  John 10:10

IS THE MOST WONDERFUL LIFE  ~ yes we will still have challenges but we have a PEACE & JOY THAT  IS WORTH MORE THAN ANYTHING !!

GIVE THANKS with me ~ in love

and here is a song we can sing now together

Apple anyone?

Posted on by Leave a comment

Have you had your apple today?

If ” an apple a day keeps the doctor away” what does more than one apple a day do?

I asked this question for fun over the last year and got some very fun & funny answers but the one I liked best was from a teen who said, ” it makes you a doctor!”.

Well , I loved that answer because I think we should ALL be our own BEST doctor & study health the Hippocrates way: ” Let your FOOD be your medicine and FIRST DO NO HARM!”

Look at your Dr. and people you take “health” advice from and make sure they are healthy

and RUN if they are not! Prevention IS STILL THE BEST CURE EVER.

An ounce of prevention is not just worth a pound of cure anymore

IT IS WORTH A TON OF CURE!

I have been at too many death beds because of ignorance & false information.

I also believe that the churches are sadly some full of some of the sickest people because most do not take seriously the BIBLE THEY CLAIM to live by.

“DO YOU NOT KNOW THAT YOUR BODY IS THE TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
THAT IS IN YOU?…therefore HONOR GOD WITH YOUR BODY…I Corinthians 6:19-20

YES EVERYTHING is allowed but not everything is BENEFICIAL.

Only 5% of people that claim to be christians have even read the GOOD BOOK which has all the answers we need for life & godliness and even without the Bible GOD SPEAKS IF WE WILL ONLY ASK & LISTEN!

I just finished 3 days of an APPLE FAST  but it was so pleasurable that I quickly called it my Apple FEAST.

Look it up online and see the testimonials and amazing stories.

Here is a great short video ( > 5 mins) to give you an idea of what I am talking about

 

u tube about apple fast

Watch a few to get a sampling of what I am talking about & use your “best judgement”

knowing that YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOU

Starting with the words & ideas you ” eat” and the FOOD choices you make!

A GOOD WORD & WISDOM is like APPLES OF GOLD in SETTINGS OF SILVER!

How thankful I am for all the advice & example of my dear & healthy daddy & the other

mentors in my life like Paul Bragg’s books & Max Gerson.

BE WELL and JOIN THE PARTY OF GOOD HEALTH with me!

 

HOW GOOD CAN U FEEL ?HOW GOOD CAN YOU FEEL?

JESUS CAME TO BRING ABUNDANT LIFE HERE & NOW & for ETERNITY

John 17:3 Eternity starts now by knowing Christ & living in HIS JOY & PEACE!

Let’s CELEBRATE LIFE …..TOGETHER!

L’Cheim!

♥APPLE EVERYONE!♥

take a hike or at least a daily walk !

Posted on by 4 comments

449A0673Let’s drop everything and go for a walk!….best exercise for body , soul & spirit besides just plain BREATHING DEEPLY…

make the walk even better and take a friend along or meet a friend by greeting all those you meet…

and/or make it a prayer walk ….and Jesus might just show up…

would you recognize him…or her…hmmmmmm…..they did not 2,000 years ago…

and it does say in the Bible ” when you practice hostpitality sometimes you will entertain angels unaware”….I have!!! for sure…have YOU? leave me a comment …

you are missing out if you do not WALK WITH GOD DAILY….God will speak to you in nature and in the natural ….peoples eyes and peacock feathers…Darwin could not explain that !….the wind in the trees and your hair…can you explain the wind…neither can you explain GOD’S SPIRIT…GOD’S HOLY SPIRIT….but you can see what the WIND DOES…and WHAT THE SPIRIT DOES….or lack of a LOVING Spirit…..

there is SO much that God’s Spirit wants to share with you and help you with…

and then we can help & inSPIRE others …and THAT IS THE LIFE!!! …meaningful! !~ joy giving and therefore JOY~~~ FULL ..

.peace giving and therefore PEACE FULL

THOSE ARE WHAT PEOPLE MOST WANT DOWN DEEP…PEACE & JOY to be able to feel good about themselves which ultimately comes from serving others…

And Jesus, was the servant of all

OUR PERFECT EXAMPLE…

THE MOST PEACEFUL AND LOVING MAN WHO ALSO CLAIMED TO BE GOD …

FORGIVING HIS ENEMIES ON THE CROSS OF LOVE

THE  GREAT I AM….

JESUS said that when he returns …he is looking to see IF YOU ARE WALKING WITH HIM and HIS WAYS…that HIS FATHER in HEAVEN TOLD HIM TO DO….LOVING each other & GOD

“when you do these things to the least of these you do it unto ME….”

NO GENDER…RACE….AGE….just plain compassion for all… Matthew 25:35

I was thirsty and you gave me water

I was hungry ….and you fed me …….a STRANGER AND YOU took me in…to your heart….

LET’S MEET ….FOR A WALK ..

HERE I come dancing down the street ….HEY HEY..

….looking for your smile!

missing you!

love,

Sun ny~ Son~ SHINE time~~ Vitamin D *LIGHT

Posted on by 8 comments

lighburstSun…REAL SUN is SO healing! ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE IS SICKNESS & VIRUSES & STRESSES AROUND OR INSIDE US !!!…FEAR & LACK OF EXERCISE IN THE SUN ARE THE WORST ILLNESS CAUSES !!! GET OUTSIDE ~ LOOK UP & GIVE THANKS FOR THE SUN even if is behind the clouds or RAIN …THE HEALING RAYS OF SUN COMES THRU TO US ANYWAY …believe it or not …THERE IS LIGHT BEHIND THE STORM & CLOUDS ALWAYS !!!

Time in the sun is SO healthy, CONTRARY to popular opinion!

Sun shine actually bursts cancer cells because of the Vitamin D…

Most Americans are Vitamin D deficient because they have believed the lies of the commercials and the people that make money on sun screens …ect….

Start SLOW though…and keep your skin lubricated with water and/ or healthy oils inside and out! Everything in moderation and balance of course.

IT is actually the garbage ( including sun screens that we put on our skin …put in our mouth and put in our mind that causes most of the cancers!)

The SUN in the sky reminds me of the Creator SON who made it!

So SON time is essential as well …to me EVEN MORE essential than SUN time~!!!

Talking to GOD the Father through Jesus ~Y’Shua, His SON thanks to a “motherly” HOLY SPIRIT speaking back to me in that still small voice~ especially when I have a listening heart to hear….

through nature…the BIBLE especially …or music and the many mysterious ways I hear THE SON speaking to me. HE IS THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD and LIGHTS UP MY LIFE…MY shepherd ( psalm 23) and BESTEST FRIEND…guiding me…blessing me…bursting my sin~cells…ways that are not healthy for me!

It is just like a family to me…my relationship to the Creator varies just like the weather!

SOME days I see and FEEL crystal clearly and hear the SON just like the Sun in the sky ~

I know HE IS ALWAYS present though clouds and storms may cover the visibility.

No matter the weather I still try to get outside daily because I know the Sun’s healing rays are still getting through to me . I still keep talking to the SON and the Father no matter if my life is EASY or CHALLENGING…ALL IS WELL when I stay in the SON SHINE and keep my focus up!

Sun glasses are USUALLY not necessary or healthy for you either.

I have RARELY and I mean RARELY worn sunglasses in my whole life since I was warned as a teen about the dangers of sun glasses causing arthritis among other things!

Plus I LIKE to see YOUR EYES…the window to the soul:-)  Ask GOD for the HOLY SPIRIT to come inside you to be your internal sun shine and nourisher and you will SEE what I mean and feel the warmth of an amazing love and power like NOTHING ELSE!!! YOU can not hide the true SON~ light!

back to your body…

Your skin is the  largest organ and should be treated oh so carefully as it is a gateway to your inside! I lean towards putting only on my skin what I could and would eat and SEEK THE BEST!!!

Coconut oil IS the best basic all around skin nourisher along with olive oil, grapeseed oil or avocado oil but I usually choose to use coconut oil (which is often more like the consistancy of butter depending on the weather ) because of it’s versatility, cost and amazing properties besides soaking in quite quickly.

PURE VIRGIN ORGANIC COCONUT Oil is one of the best amazing FOODS… ( see products section under Body category for where I like to get my favorite SUPER FOODS in BULK quantities for best quality and price) unless I just go to Trader Joe’s!

( my favorite recipes include coconut oil as well )

Best replacement for butter I have found~ YUMMY!

i.e.  : Coco~ Cacao Sun treats!

mix equal parts of coconut oil in a bowl or plastic bag with raw honey and raw powdered cacao

next roll into balls with or without  shredded coconut  and/ or  Hemp , SUN flower or other seeds  for quick & super healthy ANTIOXIDANT chocolate ~like treats

that are GOOD for you~keeping you healthy from inside out)

add nuts , seeds, dried fruit or unsweetened coconut as extra options … and make extra to share for that PICNIC in the

SUN shine…..

and please pass the coconut~screen and the coco~treats all around!

Make it a SON ny Sun shiny DAY!

SMILE!

Attitude determines….

Posted on by

EVERY…thing….every one ….especially YOU and ME!!!

ALTITUDE is determined by attitude!

When I was in the diaper stage of raising & nurturing my wonderful  children and especially when my 4 boys came along in a row after 4 girls, I loved the quote that I pasted on the bathroom mirror ( mostly to remind me! ha!)

R RESPONSE is R RESPONSIBILITY…..

we ARE able to choose our response in every given moment and situation…if we prepare !

you choose the attitude because we often can not choose our circumstances in life ….STORMS AND phone calls happen… WE RESPOND WITH OUR attitude and hopefully and prayerfully with PRACTICE it is a good one and the best one for the moment!!!

Preparation:

*Pray on awakening asking for Divine help !

Start your day with a grateful heart to GOD our Father in Heaven counting your blessings        and singing praise to the CREATOR and the Spirit

*Meditate on a verse from your daily Bible reading… when we meditate all day on GOD’s TRUTH it changes our attitude to HIS…( one hour a week will NOT do much!)

replace stinkin’ THINKIN’  with a GRATITUDE ATTITUDE….!!!! pretty please!

now that’s cool dude!

*CHOOSE TO SMILE each morning ( what a natural face lift and mood changer for YOU and EVERYONE around you….!) YOU actually determine the weather forecast for those in your presence including yourself….yes lighten UP SMILE and LAUGH (for more see my laughter blog too)… ~ graceanne

here are more powerful truthsabout ATTITUDE written by one of my favorite preachers:

“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company…a church….a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past…we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude…I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you…we are in charge of our attitudes.”
