The Lord's Prayer in Choctaw language

The Lord's Prayer is in the Choctaw language. I added it because the Lord's Prayer in any language 

is beautiful! 

This Choctaw Prayer is about the track of the sun going across the sky leaves a message.

Illuminating, strengthening, warming all of us who are here, It shows we are not alone.

We are yet alive, and this fire, as fire shall not die.

BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE..........

                                            My Soldier

My soldier was a husband, a father, a son.

He was God’s child, my best friend and friend to many others.

He was loving, caring, passionate, smart, funny, respectful, truthful,

loyal, honest and the best friend that anyone could ever ask for.

He was so compassionate, had morals and values, and he was

very strong willed and strong mined.  He was playful, like to

kid and joke around, and he was so stubborn just like you would

think a man would be and could be, but he was also fair or would

try his best to be.

He loved God, me and his children, he loved his country and was

proud to serve for his country, his family and friends.

He was kind, considerate, bashful at times which was funny be-

cause he was bold, and so courageous . He never showed fear no matter

what the situation was, he had nerves of steel and a calmness that

was as eerie.

He could be so obstinate, and relentless. The temper he had was oh so real,

he was a force to be reckoned with when that temper did show. His dark side

as he would say, he had to be careful because of the damage that he could do.

I had seen him in action a few times…to tell that you had rather tangle with the

devil itself than with this man when he was in that mode.

Yet he could be so gentle and soft, and do as good a job as I cooking, cleaning,

feeding or changing a baby’s diaper.

No, he wasn’t a dream this man was totally real. He was the love of my life, my world,

my heart, body and soul.  He tried to do the right things and be the best he could be.

He believed in God, family, his country and our freedom. He gave his life to protect

what we had and his beliefs. Now he’s looking down from above with God’s arm around

his shoulder saying to him…“Good job soldier you made us PROUD!”

THANK YOU isn't enough to each and everyone that has served/fought and are still fighting/serving to keep America FREE!

It's not bad enough we have to fight others to keep OUR FREEDOM/AMERICA'S FREEDOM, but we have to fight our own government here in the UNITED STATES of AMERICA for that right...our right to stay and be FREE! 

If we do not start NOW to stand together and tell or/and show the so called government, (the so called president in office now) then we might as well just wave the white flag and say you win. How can people just stand by and let that bleeping person do and get away with as much damage to us and the USA as he has been able to do? I'm talking from day one when he was installed to
the presidential position. His main goal has been to hurt and bring down us and America from the very beginning, and how sad is it he's been able to do with almost NO problem! 

PEOPLE IN AMERICA SO DESPERATELY NEED TO WAKE, GET UP AND STAND UP NOW!!!!

Navy, Marines, Army, Air Force & COAST GUARDS

Most every one thinks there are only four branches to our Military... Army, Navy, Marines and Air Force, but there are five and the fifth is the U.S. COAST GUARD! The Coast Guard is just as important as the rest of the branches. If you are not familiar with the Coast Guard, then look them up and see for yourselves just what they do and how they also help to protect and serve the U.S.A.!

A Silent Cherokee Prayer

This Cherokee Prayer has simple words that have a big impact!

Family is what you make it to be.

Sometimes you need to walk away and let it go. When it's blood...family, more times than not that is very hard to do. But then you should ask your self, is it worth it to stay in this turmoil?
Is it worth it walking on pins and needles? Is it really worth having to go through all the crap you do just to try and keep it, the family together when it's so very obvious that the other family member/s don't really care one way or the other? When all that one member or members cares about is them selves and what they want, what they can do, what they can get? 

You try very hard to do the right thing, but what really is the "right thing?" There comes a time when you have to either suck it up and keep going on with all the drama...the B.S....the walking lightly, keeping your mouth shut and get more resentful, more upset, and let the other one/s keep you so tornup you get an ulcer, your nerves are shot and your health starts going down hill.

Is all of that worth it? Really...IS ALL OF THAT WORTH IT? You are the only one that can answer that! I know it says in the Bible that God says if you get hit on one cheek, turn the other cheek...but I also know GOD gave you a brain to use, you can take a step back or a step over to the side! It doesn't mean you have to be rude, hateful, ugly or even down right nasty. But you can stop being clobbered so to speak, take that step back! Think about the whole situation and ask your self "is it really worth all of this?" Sooner or later your going to have to take a stand or be consumed totally up by it all, and then what? It just goes from bad to worse!

A family made up of blood members is GREAT, but when you can't have that kind of family for what ever the reason, then make a family out of what you do have...more times than not friends make the best kind of family. Think about it, your friends already know how you are, your likes and dislikes, how crazy you might be or boring, and they are still your friends! They love you anyway because they are still there for you, (most already believe or feel they are part of the family anyway). Don't believe it, well ask them and see what they say. To them you are all ready a part of their family!

Doesn't mean you're a bad person if you don't want to be around other family member/s that are
total jerks. You don't have to continue to be treated the way they treat you.Who knows maybe one day they will wake up and realize what type of jerk they've been and want to do better.
We can always hope and pray for that, but if it doesn't happen at least you're not in all the garbage and you're around people you love and care about and that love and care about you!

I am strong!

Another use for Apple Cider Vingar

Horse Care – A Natural Fly spray

Another benefit of feeding your horse apple cider vinegar is to make the horse less attractive to flies and insects. Some specialists believe that horses sweat the vinegar out so that it becomes a natural horse fly spray.

Insect bites not only cause your horse itchy discomfort, they can be areas where skin bacterial and fungal infections can occur. As well, some types of hives are commonly caused by insect stings or bites.
They can cause other health risks by spreading such diseases as West Nile virus, encephalomyelitis viruses and equine infectious anemia.

Never use a commercial fly repellant containing DEET on horses (or other animals) since it can be absorbed or ingested by them and cause unwanted toxic side effects.

For those who prefer not to use insecticides for horse care, especially on foals less than 12 weeks old, try feeding your horse ACV and make up your own vinegar based natural horse fly spray that you can rub or spray onto your horse's coat as needed:

·         2 cups (500 ml) Apple Cider Vinegar

·         1 cup (250 ml) Water

·         1 cup (250 ml) Avon Skin so Soft (bath oil)

·         2 tsp. ( 10 ml) Eucalyptus oil (or citronella oil)

Mix all ingredients well and store in a handy spray bottle.

While you're at it, you can take care of all those pesky flies that hang around enclosed areas like barns or transportation trailers, by using you own homemade vinegar fly trap:

·         3 cups (750 ml) Water

·         1/4 cup (60 ml) Apple Cider Vinegar

·         1/4 cup (60 grams) Sugar

Dissolve the sugar in the vinegar solution then place in a large jar and punch holes in the lid. The flies will get in but won't be able to fly out.

For even more protection against insects and flies, try to identify the type of insect or fly bothering your horse because they all have their own preferred breeding spots and feeding times as shown in the table below, then use the appropriate horse care tips for natural fly protection listed below the table.

Fly Type Breeding Spots Feeding Time Black flies Running water Morning & late afternoon Deer flies Water & Vegetation Daytime Stable flies Manure Daytime Horn flies Cattle Daytime Mosquitoes Water Dusk to early evening NoSeeUms (Culicoides) Standing water Manure Decaying vegetation Twilight to dawn Best Horse Care Tips for Natural Fly Protection ·         Eliminate insect breeding sites as much as possible. ·         Cover manure piles and dispose of them often. ·         Remove daily from stalls and pens all manure, wet straw, and waste hay then spread thinly or compost in a covered pile. ·         Eliminate standing water that can collect in such places as cans, old tires, discarded bedding and wet organic material. ·         Stable horses at sunrise and sunset which are peak feeding times for black flies, no-see-ums and mosquitoes. ·         Install overhead stall fans to interfere with the insects flight. ·         Place fine mesh screens in all windows. (60 Squares/in2) ·         Use fly masks, bonnets, body sheets and other clothing that does not allow the flies to reach the skin. ·         Let your horse's mane and tail grow so that he will have extra swishing power. ·         Keep horses away from standing water. ·         If you don't mind having Muscovy ducks around the barn, they will remove adult house flies more than 30 times faster than the most efficient commercial devices. ***I got this information from www.apple-cider-vinegar-benefits.com I hope I got it right, at any case it had apple cider vinegar benefits in it.
