10 Simple Yet Extraordinary Ways to Please Jesus
1. LOVE HIM. Matthew 22:37. Remember that crazy love you had
for a boyfriend or girlfriend that may or may not have become your
spouse? Passionate love convincing you that you couldn't live without them. Love
Jesus like that! You really can't live without him.
2. LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR. Mark 12:31. If you love your neighbor
as yourself, you'd grill him a steak or have the pizza delivery guy stop at her
house before yours.
3. REMEMBER HIM. I Corinthians 11:24-25. When is the last
time you took communion in his honor?
4. BELIEVE HIM. John 14:1. Believe him like you believe your
power bill will come in the mail this month.
5. HAVE FAITH.
Matthew 21:21. I'd like for Steve to wake up one morning, look out our window
and notice Fort Mountain has moved, even if it's an inch, he'll notice! Then
I'd like to say "Yeah, my faith did that!"
6. JUDGE NOT. Matthew 7:1. Jesus is my measuring stick. I
said "my" not "yours".
7. SHOW HIM OFF. Luke 8:39. Your child scores the winning
run. Do you relive it over and over by telling everyone you know and some
people you don't? Tell others about Jesus with the same enthusiasm!
8. PRAISE HIM. I Peter 2:9-10. Can't think of anything to
say? Sing that song you learned in Bible School to him. Praise him, Praise him,
All ye little children, God is love, God is love.
9. THANK HIM. I Thessalonians 5:18. For EVERYTHING! Don't
leave anything out.
10. LIVE. Luke 20:38 Need a little extra life in you? Read
the scriptures I've noted. God's Word is alive. If you read and believe (oh,
and also please), it will put some pep in your step!
Can you think of ways to please Jesus to add to this list? Leave me a comment with your thoughts.
Aiming to please,

Proven Herbal Supplement for a Sensitive Ailment
My IBS is controlled better now than ever before. The stress in my life is low. My diet is easy to control from home. I found a supplement that works quickly for flares when I have them. If I took the product daily, I might not have a problem at all. IBS is a sensitive ailment in two ways; the subject is sensitive and the digestive tract is sensitive!
My proven herbal supplement for IBS is Nature's Sunshine Intestinal Soothe and Build. Taking 3 pills, 3 times a day for a week calms down my noisy, gaseous, painful colon. I increase or decrease my dosage based on my symptoms. I may take less pills per day for a longer period or more pills per day for less days. Listen to your body signals to use the supplement best for you. At first, I used Intestinal Soothe and Build for 6 months to help heal my colon. Now, I use it for flares only.
Want to try this proven herbal supplement? If you can't find a Nature's Sunshine Distributor in your area, I can help you get it. Simply email me at tammy.stafford@hotmail.com. Leave me a comment with ways you've learned to control IBS. Your suggestion may be the help someone is looking for.
Disclaimer: I am not a doctor. I am not prescribing supplements. My statements have not been evaluated by the FDA, only my bowel. If you have IBS, please see a licensed medical doctor.
Sensitively,

Mom-ism Monday #13
Are you a mom or dad that gets annoyed with your child asking "who"? Maybe you have a friend that asks "who?" after everything you say! You've met these people, haven't you? I do it to my family sometimes. Ever feel like you've fell down the bunny hole and wound up in WHOVILLE?
My mother-in-law had a saying she used with her kids when they asked "who?" I had never heard it before my husband shared it with me (after I asked "who?", of course). Leave me a comment and let me know if you've ever heard it before. It's pretty cute. The next time you run into a "Who" you can use it. When someone says "who?", you say "WHO? Your foot don't fit no limb!" I bet you get their attention.
Being a wiseguy owl,

Sonspiration Sunday #1
And in the morning when I rise,
He brings a tear of joy to my eyes
And tells me everything is gonna be alright...

CAUTION: May have fishy smell!
- We eat them - BLT (Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato), PBJ (Peanut Butter & Jelly)
- We tell time with them - PM (post meridian), BC (Before Christ) EST (Eastern Standard Time)
- We swing by them and need an acronym to use - ATM (Automated Teller) PIN (Personal Identification Number)
- We drink them - OJ (Orange Juice), BYOB (Bring you own bottle)
- We even talk dirty with them - SOB, SOL
Acronyms are a standard in our language usually consisting of three letters. They are easy to use. They are simple to understand. I expect folks know the meaning of acronyms of their era. I ask my kids the meaning of some social media acronyms. They know the younger ones while I know the older ones. Sometimes, acronyms become more familiar to us than the actual name of something. Heard anyone say something like this lately? "Yeah. I'll be there around 5 post meridian. I've got to run by the Automated Teller. I can't remember my Personal Identification Number." I didn't think so! Humans tend to embrace lazy and our languages are no exception.
I love to learn. You might enjoy reading The Top 10 Things I learned in London or 5 Things the New Grandmom Learned. I heard a word during a sightseeing tour in London. I had always thought it was a word but our guide says it's an acronym. See if you can guess the word/acronym before we embark on a bit of a vocabulary lesson:
- definition of mystery acronym - a level quayside area to which a ship may be moored to load and unload. noun
- every waterfront city has one
- a lot of restaurants are named this acronym
- these are commonly converted to housing or apartments
- picture clue

The guide told us the word WHARF is an acronym for Warehouse at River Front. According to Merriam-Webster, "wharf" is a middle English word used before the 12th century. I have to admit I was amazed at my lack of knowledge surrounding the word. The acronym was so believable, not only was his story convincing but the acronym made so much sense. Internet sources say the acronym for wharf is untrue. I say "It's an English word. Been around for a long time. If a Londoner wants to spice up his tour by making up acronyms for his country's language, I'll eat it up all day long and repeat his story to entertain others!" Warning: proceed with caution to your nearest warehouse at riverfront....may have fishy smell for a couple of reasons.
