We Need Each
Other...
There comes
a time to face the truth,
to look
inside your heart...
and ask
yourself this question,
am I really
doing my part?
When others
need a hand,
do you help
them willingly?
And when
they need someone to listen,
do you
listen lovingly?
It takes a
mighty army,
under an
Awesome God above...
to unite
this world together,
for the cause of Christian love.
WORDS
OF WISDOM: You Help Yourself
By Helping Others
A
tourist lately, whilst crossing a mountain height alone, over almost
untrodden snow, felt a drowsiness stealing over himself, to yield to
which he knew would be fatal. As the night closed in the snowflakes
fell thick and fast, and the freezing blast grew apace; he tried to
reason with himself, and with his utmost energy to free himself from
the sleep of death fastening upon him; but all to no purpose.
Just,
however, when he was about to succumb, and his weary eyelids were
closing never again to open, he stumbled against a heap that lay across
his path. It was no stone that his foot struck, although no stone could
be colder, or apparently more lifeless. On examination it proved to be
a human body, buried beneath a fresh drift of snow. The next moment the
traveler had a brother in his arms; was chaffing his hands and wrists,
his chest and brow; breathing upon his cold lips bluely swelling" the
warm breath of a living soul; pressing the still, silent heart of his
companion to the rapid pulses of his own generous bosom. And what was
the result? The effort to stoop down and assist another had removed the
ominous pressure upon his brain and eyes, and imparted to him renewed
life and vigor. He was himself again. And the record stands "He saved a
brother, and was himself saved." Is there not here the groundwork of a
parable to illustrate the truth, that active Christian work is a
necessary and ordained means, not only for benefiting others, but for the sustaining
and saving of our own soul and spirit?
HUMOUR: You can't fool a Woman
We went to
breakfast at a restaurant where the "Seniors' Special" was two eggs,
bacon, hash browns and toast for $1.99.
"Sounds
good," my wife said. "But I don't want the eggs."
"Then I'll
have to charge you two dollars and forty-nine cents because you're
ordering a la carte," the waitress warned her.
"You mean
I'd have to pay for not taking the eggs?" my wife asked incredulously.
"Then I'll take the Special."
"How do you
want your eggs?"
"Raw and in
the shell!" my wife replied.
She took
the two eggs home.
THE
BIBLE TELLS ME SO:
“Rejoice
evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is
the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” 1Thess.
5:16-18
I'VE
LEARNED THAT:
Just
because your doctor has a name for your condition doesn't mean he knows
what it is. -unknown
ONE
FINAL THOUGHT:
The Bible says "Pray
without ceasing." Too bad some people "cease" without "praying!"
Pondering
Is this
journey worth it,
The
suffering and pain of life?
Is there any
profit
In staying
true through all the strife?
God’s
blessings rain down,
Reconciling
each one to Him,
Though we
come with a frown,
All of our
dreams and hopes gone dim.
Grace,
magnified in trials,
Refreshing
and renewing us,
Love,
immeasurable,
Always ours,
and the Spirit....thus
We worship
in response.
We will
delight in His blessing.
My candle,
I’ll ensconce,
Keeping it
lit, His love stressing.
I’ll
worship while I wait
With
watchful anticipation.
He waits now
"at the gate"
To redeem
all His creation!
