This Week In History

Part of what SweetSpiritz wants to do is to inform and enlighten the  understanding and  the greatness that God has in store for you. In doing that we must examine, acknowledge and inspire one another. So I have decided to add this page to the site in the hope that in remembrance of the greatness of our people, that they inspire you to reach for the stars! Let's educate to elevate!

Keep in mind that all that you are is because God has laid a foundation of his love and strength in you! So each month we will highlight those in our history that have changed history with their gifts from God. Let this weekly calendar inspire you to reach for the success and comfort in your life that God has intended. Let these examples of heroic and patriotic turns in history, light the way for strengthening your foundation of who you are and where you came from.... Greatness!

What these honorees have shared is the strength, perseverance and faith to endure all things, and ultimately accomplish their goals. It is by the graciousness of God, when we believe it, that we can achieve it! And part of the uplifting of our future is predetermined by the knowledge that all things are possible with God! These honorees have left a legacy for us to build upon! You are the future and your dreams and hopes for the future are not unlike those that we will showcase here. I pray that you find something here to use for your own purpose in life. The foundations that we stand on today are built on the backs of those before us.

And if you have a piece of history that you feel should be highlighted on the calendar, or birthday that you want featured, then please contact us  (see side menu). God Bless!


Thank You to Mr. Phillip Jack for inspiring this page!!!
