Encouragement

This Song came to my mind this morning. Trust someone will find encouragement from the same. Hide me now Under your wings Cover me Within your mighty hands When the oceans rise and thunders roar I will soar with you above the storm Father you are king over the flood And I will be still and know you are God Find rest my soul in Christ alone Know his power in quietness and trust Find rest my soul In Christ alone Know His power In quietness and trust When the oceans rise and thunders roar I will soar with you above the storm Father, You are King over the flood I will be still and know You are God Your Joy Oh lord will be my strength, Renouncing fear We stand in your glorious grace. When the oceans rise and thunders roar I will soar with you above the storm Father, You are King over the flood I will be still and know You are God.

Something To Ponder

“When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand.” - Henri Nouwen

Happy New Year!

Today, January 1st, 2014 is the first blank page of a 365 page book. I trust we will dedicate each page and ourselves to Jesus as we journey through this New Year! Many Blessings in 2014!

Encouragement Beginning 2014

"Leave it all in the Hands that were wounded for you." - Elisabeth Elliot

"Christmas gift suggestions: To your enemy, forgiveness. To an opponent, tolerance. To a friend, your heart. To a customer, service. To all, charity. To every child, a good example. To yourself, respect."

 -- Oren Arnold

Just A Thought

"Just being there for someone can sometimes bring hope when all seems hopeless."

Something to Complain About...

If you look hard enough and long enough, you’ll find something to complain about!

Adam and Eve did. Surrounded by all they needed, they set their eyes on the one thing they couldn’t have.

The followers of Moses did. They could’ve focused on the miracles, but instead they focused on their problems.

What are you looking at? The one fruit you can’t eat? Or the million you can? The manna or the misery?

Philippians 4:8 says “Whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, lovely, of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy, meditate on these things.”

Even the garden of Eden looks gray to some. But it needn’t to you. Jesus who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus! Give every day a chance!

"So here's what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you." (Rom. 12:1,2 - The Message)

“Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
Life is beauty, admire it.
Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it.
Life is a promise, fulfill it.
Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is a tragedy, confront it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is luck, make it.
Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
Life is life, fight for it.”
