True nobility does not mean that you are better than anyone else, it means that you are better than you use to be.  We travel through life seeking the material things that we feel will make us more acceptable and happy.  There are wealthy people who obtained money and learned how to shop at the best stores yet they lack that one thing you cannot buy.

Nobility and True Class are within and shines outward.  It is the way you carry yourself, the way you wear what you wear.   It is like the aroma of a good perfume.  Subtle to the senses but whispers to be recognized.

Everyone does not have this gift because not everyone knows their authentic self.  They are still in search of being the person that they are. Then we see people and we know that there is "something special about them" they may not be handsome or qualify for beauty queen, but they have "IT."
 "It" cannot be purchased or rented, it comes from a confident spirit of knowing that you are a child of God's and perfect in His sight.  

Like the mighty Oak Tree, family starts with a small acorn like seedling. When nurtured it grows into a mighty Oak soaring to great heights,  filled with branches that grow and reach for the unknown. This mighty Oak tree has no limits, it grows and reaches as it bears fruit called acorns that fall to earth and produce new trees……….   This process continues as long as there is life. 
 
If you don't know your past, you cannot paint a picture of the future that is your life. To know your History, you will know of the great people who cleared the path for you, the great people whose blood is flowing through your veins.  Alex Haley knew the significance of knowing the family history. He spent years researching his family from Tennessee to Africa.  

When you know the foundation upon which your family is built, you have the tools needed to paint on your canvass of life anything that you can dream.

When under, remember the surface,
When on the surface, remember the deep.  

When faced with challenges you may feel overwhelmed.  It is easy to forget the strength and courage that lies in your "spirit."  A strength deeply rooted in God, a courage inherited from His Son who carried the weight of the Cross, where He died for our sins.  

There will be times when it is uncomfortable to stay close to the shores of life. The solutions to our problems are not always found in shallow areas of safety.  Life sometimes requires that you go out past the breakers of life to know and understand the depths of your problems.

To experience difficulties is to know what is good.   It is in the deepest of waters that we reach out to the Father for Help. It is there, with God's help that we discover we can  swim over, under, around and through our challenges to find the peace and solutions that await us.

God is the anchor of life.  

When you are under, there is always a surface, When on the surface, remember there is a deep. We may have to go under to remember God's power and reach out to Him.   When all is well in our lives and we are comfortable on the surface, remember the deep and how we made it out.
