Little Alex asked his grandma how old she was. Grandma answered, “39 and holding.” Alex thought for a moment and then said, “And how old would you be if you let go?”

There are times when we hold on to things that continue to “age” us………  like hurts, angers, inconsistencies, frustrations, wrong attitudes and habits. Jesus invites, no, He requires us to let go of those things which so easily cause us to drag us down.   1 Peter 5:7  Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully.

After explaining the commandment to honor your father and mother, a Sunday School teacher asked her class if there was a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters.
      One boy, the oldest in his family, immediately answered, “Thou shalt not kill.”

Children say the darnest things, but most of know what he was talking about.  So if you have a family member or close friend that you feel like “killing” today,  Kill them with Kindness and let God’s love embrace them for you.

BE  Blessed!!

God is Love and so is dog

In a Sunday School Clas, students were asked to write a short prayer. One six-year-old fidgeted in his chair, frowned thoughtfully, and nibbled on his pencil for several minutes before committing his prayer topaper. It read, “Dear God, please help me to be the person my dog thinks I am.”

I’m sure this young boy was highly thought of by his dog, but there is a more important opinion.  Isaiah 55:8-9 8 “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the LORD. 9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.
I am thankful that God is thinking of me this day, aren’t You?

Be Blessed

“We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed.” 

Now the “rest of the story”   1 Corinthians 15:51  Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed– 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.” 55 “O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?” 56 The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
You are Victorious today

BE Blessed!

Today’s Quote: “Life is a spiritual journey, and No, We’re not there yet!”  Keely Chace.

Sign in front of a church. “Our church is a gift from God. Some assemby is required.”

Rewards are usually directly proportionate to the effort expended. Somehow Christians think they have “arrived” without having to “walk the walk”. The apostle Paul said it best in Romans 12:3 As your spiritual teacher I give this piece of advice to each one of you. Don’t cherish exaggerated ideas of yourself or your importance, but try to have a sane estimate of your capabilities by the light of the faith that God has given to you all. For just as you have many members in one physical body and those members differ in their functions, so we, though many in number, compose one body in Christ and are all members of one another. Through the grace of God we have different gifts. If our gift is preaching, let us preach to the limit of our vision. If it is serving others let us concentrate on our service; if it is teaching let us give all we have to our teaching; and if our gift be the stimulating of the faith of others let us set ourselves to it. Let the man who is called to give, give freely; let the man who wields authority think of his responsibility; and let the man who feels sympathy for his fellows act cheerfully.  (Phillips NT)
