Thankful no better yet blessed

I hope all of you readers if any out there have had a wonderful blessed thanksgiving and got to spend it with friends and family
i didnt do 30 days of being thankful i decided to write all on thanksgiving day in a blog i know your thinking very boring

how many pople can say they were a thanksgiving blessing
i am also thankful for our soliders far and home for serving our country and be willing to lay their life down for us  what a blessing also im thankful for  being able to get up every day and work at job i aboustly love and just being able to enjoy life
and all the blessings of my friends and also having the abilty to help other people  and to me this what makes life worth living
and all the blessing i have
and if you have been in my life as friend
thanks
love yall

if you wanna hear God laugh, tell Him your plans

the tile of this post comes from a song called "help somebody" by van zant and i love this line because God will always laugh at our plans because he will some how change them. which can be good or bad depending on what the plans are how they change or just how you look at them
this is my fall break and i was suppose to go visit a friend in dallas texas i remeber telling God how excited i was and jsut ready to see this person i havent seen in a long time  well God decided to laugh at my plans because  I  ended up not being able to go  although i was disapponited that it didnt work  out as we planned this weekend has become a huge blessing to me and what i needed weather i want to admit or not, because i got to spend time with friends who live here who i dont get spend nearly as much time as i would want or would like just do to work life, other studff but i will tell i got to understand how blessed i am to have these people in my life and jsut build up our friendships and im so thankful for this and greatful they understand me and i understand them and were there for eachother and truly care about one another i mean beyond being there when something happens or jsut saying hi how are you
a friend and i went to dinner lasst night  and we talked at their place and i left arounf 12 am and was with for 6 hrs of just talking about any and everything its these little things that mean the most in life though im sad dallas didnt happen in some ways in so many more im glad it didnt
just go and make God laugh tell him what your plans are and then see how he changes them
cause it could be pretty amazing i know mine were :)

Shut Up and Listen...........

 I know my title is pretty bold but i think it something we all have forgotten to do these days..... I have been thinking about this pretty much all year with the loss of two friends, then in the lime lights  of the Mckinney shooting over the summer, the  loss of a Denver Branchos foot ball players and today the Gun man on UT campus plus a converastion with a  co worker today really has me thinking that something people used to do in the olden days or golden days how ever you choose to look at it but something i feel we all need to do is just flat out SHUT UP AND LISTEN  to our friends, our family, co workers, ect who having hard times esp with the unspoken words... that are not seen  nor herd but still being said with looks, fake smilies  and the hiding of whats going on but all too often we may ask someone how they are doing  and give the im okay, or good, fine how are you but not really asking how they are like whats going on in their life or  seeing if in some way we can meet their needs, we only meet others needs when trady strikes what if  we did this everydya before it hits not saying that it wont but  what if  we put our phones away or  stoped face booking to actually meet in person and talk about what someone else needs are and forget yours.... now  i know your reading this and saying marge thats such a wonderful thought but i dont have time for that  if you cant make time  for one of the most basic reasons on why were put on here on earth than what the heck are doing with your life??? when you die people wont remeber you for millions of dollars you made, the toys you had ( ie cars, boats, homes, ect) they wont remeber you  for the job you had or where you went to church, but for how you impacted other lives  and what kind of person you were and  what kind of  friend/brother/sister/ doughter/mother/father/aunt/uncle/ cusin you were  and honestly what is more imprant than listening to a friend, co worker, family member who needs you????
if you cant make time to care  than you cant make time do anything

soo its been awhile....................

would you hold my hand in heaven

6months ago today i lost one of my closest friends and two weeks later i lost another friend although things have gotten better for the most part i still think of them daily and how much i miss them i know their in a better place but a part of me still hurts at the loss of them these 2 friends had quite an impact on my life as well as many many others and i know God gained to angels and that makes me happy but the world lost two angels and i wondering if there will ever be a day when i wont miss them and wish they were here im one whose used to morning for a while and getting over it but for someone reason knowing the loss of these two friends seems to be harder than some of the other perople i have lost i just hope they are in heaven smiling and i hope when i get there they will hold my hand as we did here on earth God thank you for letting us have them for as long as you did it hurts to say good bye but i know your loving on them up there and they are no longer in pain God Thank you for friends

the photo you see with the number 14.452 is how many miles i walked around lake heafner today and i did this in 4 hrs time know those who know me walking used to be my thing other than swimming but then from 2005-2008 i got really sick and struggled to walk 5 ft with out losing my breath i tell you today now that im better i walked 14.5 miles around the lake in 4 hrs with only 4 stops this a huge i mena huge deal for me plus yesterday at the piece for austim walk i walked 1.5 in 20 mins and stayed in the top 20 lead pack there are things i never thought i could or would be able to do before being sick and esp. not after this total working of God this amazing i cant express how excited i am about this how proud i am of these goals that at one point in my life seemed impossible so may some impossible things are possible thanks to God

could we all worship the same God and not know it?

Disclamer: please be adivce if this blog in any way offenice to you i did not mean for it to be just something I have been thinking about..............

I have recently been thinking about different religions in our world such as Christianity, Islam, Jewish, and Hindu mainly

and I believe that all are innertwined with each other and yet different as we all are different and i dont believe everyone all be of one relgion but the thing i have been thinking of and toying with the idea that we all worship the same God but we worship him differently and use different names for him or even maybe even have different personilties of him at are worshiped

let me explain for instance some of you know me as marge, or marge, some of you know me as margaret sone just as M, but despite my different titles/names im still the same person and no different no matter what name i go by or how you know me well i feel that those of us as Christians call God, God Islam call him Allah, Hindus worship different Gods, Buddha worship different Buddha statues for different things what if these are all the same God and or personalities of Our God but just has different names he still the same being but just has different titles/names as he does in the Bible

This has been on my heart and mind for awhile so im just wondering

do you believe/think its possible

and may be just may God knew not everyone would be Christians but because he loved us so much he had other relgions created as he created Christianiyt for people to worship him with different cultures and life styles being so different and because of these he more than willing to accept all the different relgions because although we worship him we do it differently and use different names and such he will still accept everyone who worships him no matter how we worship him and his personailites

these are just thoughts

let me know your thoughts

the not so typical bucket list

the last month and half have been by far the hardest i have ever faced in so many ways with the loss of 2 good friends, family in and out the hospital and alot of other stuff and this has really made me relize how special life is and how imporant it is to let your family and friends know how much you love them and let them know and or be reminded that your always there for them but its also gotten my thinking of my "buckett list" you know the things you wanna do before you die mine is not typical but i hope you enjoy it 1. making sure my family and friends know i love them for WHO they are 2. make sure i smile, hug, talk shake hands with a stranger yes its life changing 3. make a difference in at least one person's life 4. show people a different perstive for looking at something or someone 5. learn something new everyday 6. fallow my heart 7. hold my friends as close as possibly can 8. to be constly amazed by God when i look up at the stars, see the sun, see/ hear/ feel the rain/snow 9. never stop loving the ones i love 10. never give up on my faith 11. try to see the world through others eyes 12. cherish memoires 13. make sure be the best friend i can be 14. trust that angels are all around me 15. always believe everything happens for a reason 16. never stop seeing the good in every person i have met and everyone i come a cross 17. always have a little more for when others feel they dont have enough faith 18. always have a smile, hug, hand shake avable for anyone who needs it 19. always be willing to help others 20. always be willing to jsut listen 21. be willing to give advice when needed 22. always be willing to try to understand where others come from 23. to always be me 24, to never take this life for granted 25. to love those who come my way for whatever reason 26. alwys be willing to encourge others 27. willing to pray for all who love and hurt me 28. remeber everything in its own way is a mircale 29. to always find some good in each day ( even if im few days late!) 30. always respect everything is a creation made by God 31. remeber God is with me 32. he loves me as you can see this not a long buckett list but its one i have been and will contunie to work on until the day i die and i hope you will challange your self to do the same with these things too some us see as living life is doing mission work, joing the miltary, living in other countries others see it as loving people no matter what how ever you choose to see living life to fulliest works for you i hope you do so but remeber to always be willing to help those around you and simply ask your self this question " How Do YOU Want to be Remebered for When you Die?"
