He Was Tempted As We Are, Yet He Did Not Yield

You are not tempted because you are evil; you are tempted because you are human.

Fulton J. Sheen

Anyone can carry his burden, however hard, until nightfall.

  Anyone can do his work, however hard, for one day.

  Anyone can live sweetly patiently, lovingly, purely, till the sun goes down.

  And this is all that life really means.

Robert Louis Stevenson

"All of life comes down to just one thing-

To know YOU, oh Jesus! And make You known!"

Give Thanks To The Lord

Good Morning and Thank You!
                   by Sue C. Weaver

As I awaken each morning-
I thank You for this day,
You wrap your arms around me-
and hold me as I pray.

I thank You Lord for everything-
Your Word has shown to me,
Your love and mercy are new today,
Your faithfulness is plain to see.

You created man to love you-
and that's what I long to do,
stay forever in Your arms,
to worship and honor You!

I thank You for every blessing-
for family, church, and friends,
for home and food and work to do,
and love that never ends.

I thank You Lord for trials-
and tests that make me strong,
for purification in the fire,
for choosing right over what is wrong.

I thank You for the Living Word-
the Word that became a man,
Who came to die upon a cross,
the bridge between us and God did span.

I thank You for the Holy Spirit-
You sent to be our comfort and our guide,
To lead us into every truth-
forever in our hearts abide.

Thank You for the cross, dear Lord-
for forgivness and Your grace,
for salvation by Your own shed blood,
We will one day see Your loving face.

Thank You For Your Great and Awesome Love
( an impromptu prayer of Thanksgiving on November 24th, 2011)

Now This is Positive Thinking!!

The army of Israel looked at Goliath
through the eyes of man and said he’s too big
to beat.
 David looked at him through the eyes
of God and said he’s too big to miss.

Let Us Choose Our Daily Words Wisely!

Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of another. Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and give no opportunity to the devil. Let the thief no longer steal, but rather let him labor, doing honest work with his own hands, so that he may have something to share with anyone in need. Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.

Ephesians 4:25-29

I just read this with meaning that I'd not noticed before....the word CORRUPT- we always THINK of it as only foul or inappropriate language- BUT CORRUPT can be EVERYTHING that cuts down, demeans, destroys, or harms another...in other words; anything that can cause someone to become discouraged, feel hopeless, helpless, unfit, loss of strength, or loss of self esteem......how often words harm the very ones we love!

Let NO CORRUPT words come from you...speak words of love and encouragement ALWAYS!

What we SAY and DO-absolutely WILL come back to us at some point, won't it?
"You may eat your words tomorrow-
Let them be sweet today!"
