Health Naturally

Yes I am going to venture into this subject.  We are a family with five children.  The youngest has Down Syndrome and with Down Syndrome, she can have a compromised immune system.  The first year of her life I breast fed and so she was quite healthy.  From age one to two, all hell broke loose.  She had a constant cold from August until April.  She would get over a cold to then get a flu, then a cold again.  A stomach flu and a cold again.  Then it happened.  Pneumonia.  She got sick at 1:00 a.m. and the next morning something wasn't right.  I called our Pediatrician who gave her a chest X-ray and yes she was put on her fourth antibiotic.  I was beaten.  I was destroyed.  Other moms of Down Syndrome said "Oh yea this is all our lives with Downs children".   What???????  Nope I was NOT going to be on this cycle.  I was getting off this ride.

I discovered through the help of my cousin Brenda, essential oils.  All began when she told me about Oregano Oil.  Oil of oregano, which is distiller from the flowers and leaves of the oregano plant, could be one of nature's most powerful antibiotics.  I started my adventure of discovering a company called Young Living Here.  This company sells the purest of oils.  I read about how if you put ONE DROP of oil on the bottom of one of her feet, it is soaked into her system like a sponge.  Our feet are porous.  They absorb.  If you ever heard of kids having a terrible cough and moms putting Vicks on bottoms of the feet and socks, then the child has a restful nights sleep without coughing!

So then I started getting different oils and either putting them in the air by diffusing or by putting a drop on a foot or on one of the kids hand.  Illness in this house stopped!!!  Kate had a three day cold since August and it was barely anything.  Praise God through whom all Blessing  Flow!

Finding Peace with Charlie Kirk

It sure has been a rough time this year.  I really thought this year was going to be spectacular and finally peace among us.  How naive I still am.  Or is it the Pollyanna in me. Seeing Charlie Kirk get assassinated shook me and many others to the core.  I loved Charlie and what he stood for and yet!  I am so surprised at exactly how many people he touched.  Behind the scenes he was such a testament of who we should be.  He was genuinely GOOD!  How many times from thousands of friends did they say how he checked in on them and the encouragement he shared with them.   Now Revivals are breaking out and the younger generation is praising God in millions.  Does it make you think about yourself and how you make a difference in people’s lives?  Do you realize that your kindness and friendship is so much more powerful than you think?   When we want to mourn and hide away, we are being called to action.  Action with Praise and Glo...

Mary My Mother

I knew a woman who got pregnant.  The "Father" refused to marry her.  She had a son...his son.  He married another and left his Catholic Faith.  He became "born again".  He was baptized again.  He pounded on his bible and on his family.  He said Catholics aren't Christian.  They worship idols.  He attacked and attacked.  He became obsessed to the point that his religion was based on hatred.  Hatred that he could NOT convince even the weakest Catholic to switch sides.  He sinned.  Some of the biggest sins.  He had no where to turn.  He had all the sacraments of the Holy Catholic Church.  He could walk into a confessional at any time.  But pride, ego, ego, pride, stop him.   The worst part of this prideful story is the undermining of the mother of his son.  She brought him up Catholic. This story is probably a very common story.  It interests me because when we are at a crossroads, what d...

Your Life Will Unravel

If you choose to put God in a neat little box, then put the box on a shelf in the closet, only getting it out every once in a while.  Maybe a Sunday, maybe not.  Your life will start to unravel.   At first, you give every excuse not to go to Church.  You had to work, you were too tired, you had a hangnail.  Your life will unravel. Then you blame your past.  Too much guilt, no one understands my pain, I am an adult and make these decisions on when I need God.  Your life will unravel. Next, your life isn't turning out how you planned.  You were going to have success in business, a great marriage and perfect children...it didn't go that way...it's Gods fault.  Your life will unravel. You one day turn around and compare yourself and measure yourself against those close to you.  Why are they happy?  Why is it that when awful things happen to others, they seem to handle it and even laugh through their tears?  Why is it they are happy...
