I am learning new things about myself every day. I feel I'm in a good place and I look forward to what life has to bring! I can be analytical, happy, usually in a good mood, observant, and love to please.
For yesterday is but a Dream, And Tomorrow is only a Vision; But Today, well lived, Makes every Yesterday A Dream of Happiness, And every Tomorrow A Vision of Hope...
Jesus Christ said: "ASK AND IT WILL BE GIVEN TO YOU; SEEK, AND YOU WILL FIND; KNOCK, AND IT WILL BE OPENED TO YOU." ( MATTHEW 7:7 *NKJV )
As I have said to you before, I believe that prayer is one of the most powerful things on Earth!
THEREFORE I SAY TO YOU, WHATEVER THINGS YOU ASK WHEN YOU PRAY, BELIEVE THAT YOU RECEIVE THEM, AND YOU WILL HAVE THEM. ( MARK 11:24 )
This is because: THE EYES OF THE LORD ARE ON THE RIGHTEOUS, AND HIS EARS ARE OPEN TO THEIR PRAYERS. ( 1 PETER 3:12 )
Now, these verses do not mean that everything we may pray for we will get, however they do mean that if it is God's will for us, our prayer requests will be answered the way we wish! After all God knows what is best for us, and some- times what we pray for would end up hurting us in the long run. So trust in God's judgment, after all only He knows the future!
Therefore always: DEVOTE YOURSELVES TO PRAYER, BEING WATCHFUL AND THANKFUL. AND PRAY FOR US, TOO, THAT GOD MAY OPEN A DOOR FOR OUR MESSAGE SO THAT WE MAY PROCLAIM THE MYSTERY OF CHRIST. PRAY THAT WE MAY PROCLAIM IT CLEARLY, AS I SHOULD. ( COLOSSIANS 4:2-4 )
Also know: WE ALWAYS THANK GOD FOR ALL OF YOU, MENTIONING YOU IN OUR PRAYERS. WE CONTINUALLY REMEMBER BEFORE OUR GOD AND FATHER YOUR WORK PRODUCED BY FAITH, YOUR LABOR PROMPTED BY LOVE, AND YOUR ENDURANCE INSPIRED BY HOPE IN OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. ( 1 THESSALONIANS 1:2-3 )
Have a wonderful day, and may it be filled with the Grace of God! Amen.
4th of July Celebration Parade: an Annual Event Since 1919
Sponsored By
The 4th of July Parade is held each year for the benefit of more than 30,000 spectators and the many participants involved. The purpose of this Parade is to express patriotism, nostalgia, and traditional family values ("Mom, Dad, and Apple Pie").
The Belton Area Chamber of Commerce invites everyone to participate on Friday, July 4th, 2008 by attending the "We the People" 4th of July Parade. There will be floats, bands, marching units, decorated vehicles, antique cars, decorated bicycles, etc. Participants are encouraged to incorporate the parade theme, We the People, into their entry.
The first parade was held in the mid 1800's and has been an annual event in Belton since 1919. This long time Belton tradition starts at 10:00 a.m. on Main Street at 10th Avenue, travels south on Main Street to Central Avenue, turns east on Central Avenue, turns left on Birdwell and ends on 4th Ave.
We are proud that in the January 2001 issue of Texas Highways Magazine, the readers rated Belton as one of the "Best Things To Do on the 4th of July" and rated our 4th of July Celebration Parade in the top 10 in Texas, placing us in the company of parades in Dallas, Houston, and Galveston.
Don't just take their word for it, come spend awhile on the Chisholm Trail to celebrate our nation's independence.
