“Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’; and look, a plank is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.” (Matthew 7:1-5 nkjv)...
Kiwi fruits are rich in many Vitamins, flavonoids and minerals. They contain a high amount of Vitamin C (more than oranges), as much potassium as bananas and a good amount of beta-carotene. Studies in Italy, performed on 6-7 year old children, have also shown additional health benefits to the respiratory tract. Children that were fed 5-7 portions a week of citrus and kiwifruit had 44% less probability wheezing compared to children eating less than once a week. Shortness of breath was reduced by 32%, night-time cough by 27%, severe wheeze by 41%, chronic cough by 25%, and runny nose by 28%. This result is not only traceable to the content in Vitamin C or Potassium, but in substances which are still largely unknown contained in kiwi fruit.These substances are most likely flavonoids that help protect our cells from oxidative damage, and are therefore considered very helpful in protecting our DNA from mutations and damage radicals, dramatically improving the health of individuals who consumed it regularly against all kinds of disease, from cardiovascular problems to cancer and obesity high amount, which help protect our body against free radicals from all fronts.

The Full Original Copy of the Serenity Prayer by Reinhold Niebuhr (1892-1971) God give us grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, Courage to change the things which should be changed, and the Wisdom to distinguish the one from the other.

Today let us lighten up and live. Let us empty our basket of the trash that others put in there. The hurt, pain, the hatred, spirit of anger, bitterness, jealousy, sickness, loss of job and whatever else others under the influence of satan put there. We are now going to fill our baskets with God’s Love and the Spirit of forgiveness and the fruit of the spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) so God can move us up to higher ground, higher heights and much closer to Him. Once we get rid of all the trash we will be wearing the breast-plate of Jesus Christ. And when things around us are chaotic or when all hell break loose, or a simple thing like a cock roach we will be so calm because God has given us a peace that passeth all understanding. We will be wearing the whole armour of God, and when the evil comes, we may be able to stand firm. Our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against principalities, against the rulers of darkness (satan) against spiritual hosts of wickedness in heavenly places. (Read Ephesians 6: 10-20). With the Armor of God we can stand firm in the battles of life (not even a cockroach will cause me to explode.) So today lets empty our trash baskets and lighten up and live. Beverley Shaw 🙂 And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into...
God’s Perfect Knowledge of Man: Psalm 139 1 “O Lord, You have searched me and known me. 2 You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off. 3 You comprehend my path and my lying down, And are acquainted with all my ways. 4 For there is not a word on my tongue, But behold, O Lord, You know it altogether. 5 You have hedged me behind and before, And laid Your hand upon me. 6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is high, I cannot attain it. 7 Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? 8 If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there. 9 If I take the wings of the morning, And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, 10 Even there Your hand shall lead me, And Your right hand shall hold me. 11 If I say, “Surely the darkness shall fall on me,” Even the night shall be light about me; 12 Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You, But the night shines as the day; The darkness and the light are both alike to You. 13 For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb. 14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;“ Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well.
