Strange Concept: Bless Your Enemies
Do you have enemies? Do you respect Biblical truths? The Bible says to hope and pray the best for your enemies. This is hard. And must be slowly learned through many days if you have an enemy that has done a great evil toward you. You must pray every day that Jesus would help you do this and change your attitude and desire.

Never give in,
never give in,

Psalm 86
I like this Psalm. This is a prayer psalm. I would like to read it to my kids each day 🙂
Psalm 86
1Bow down thine ear, O LORD,
hear me: for I am poor and needy.*
2Preserve my soul; for I am holy:
O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.
Celine Deon’s My Heart Will Go On
When Celine Deon begins to sing she takes command of the stage and then she takes command of the heart of those listening.
She was a prodigy child with a passion and great talent to sing and then she was discovered. After years of practicing and polishing the beauty in her voice is magnificent as you must silently listen and watch:
It’s difficult to not envy such natural talent. And you must know that it has been coupled with long endless days of work.
But we can thank God that we have the privilege to experience her song and then, if your like me you just pray and wish that somehow God would allow beauty in whatever way is best to come from your own life.
