A powerful witness

I just had to share this as a blog post today, if we only would have that much faith and that much trust and that much wisdom.This sweet dear lady…. God bless her….(have your volume on).

Freedom

From the book:
Whispers of Faith

God offers you the priceless freedom
of being able to live each day of your life
free from the chains of guilt, despair, and hopelessness.

He has opened to you the door to freedom and His Spirit directs you along the path
He has laid out for you, a path leading to genuine happiness and lasting liberty.
——————————
May we think about freedom today in a new and different way.
Not only are we free in our ‘United States’ but we are free to follow the path of the Lord
into a new kind of liberty and justice for all.
Happy 4th of July… 2010

To Succeed

From the book:
Whispers of Promise

To appreciate beauty;
to find the best in others;
to give one’s self;
to leave the world a little better,
whether by a healthy child,
a garden patch,
or a redeemed social condition;
to have played and laughed with enthusiasm,
and sung with exultation;
to know even one life has breathed easier
because you have lived…this is to have succeeded.

Ralph Waldo Emmerson

Lord help us to know that whatever we do
to help others or our world is valuable and not wasted effort.
Thank you God for a new awareness of ‘success.’

A Good Friend

From the book:
Whispers of Promise

A really good friend~
The kind Jesus wants to create~
can be hard to find.
It takes commitment to a person’s best interests
to stir that person up to love and good works,
and it needs to be done gently if it’s going to work.
Be that kind of person who gently stirs up love and good works.
Then God, who is a Best Friend to you both, will be pleased.
——————————
Lord,
may our prayer today be one from a receptive heart
that we may learn as you teach us to become
a good and faithful friend to those around us.
Thank you that you have given us people in our lives
whom you have entrusted us to love and encourage towards
a more purposeful relationship.

Help us never to forget the value of a good friend.

Worth Standing

From the book:
Whispers of Promise

In a day when dishonesty is often almost taken as a matter of course,
a person whose strength of character
demands honesty
can stand out in a crowd.
Sometimes it’s the kind of standing out…
that leads to uncomfortable situations.
But there are things worth standing for,
even if they have a price.
Sometimes that price is just what brings the blessing.

What are you standing for today?
