June 19 - Jesus Calling
“I AM THE FIRM FOUNDATION on which you can dance and sing and celebrate My Presence. This is My high and holy calling for you; receive it as a precious gift. Glorifying and enjoying Me is a higher priority than maintaining a tidy, structured life. Give up your striving to keep everything under control – an impossible task and a waste of precious energy.
My guidance for each of My children is unique. That’s why listening to Me is so vital for your well-being. Let Me prepare you for the day that awaits you and point you in the right direction. I am with you continually, so don’t be intimidated by fear. Though it stalks you, it cannot harm you, as long as you cling to My hand. Keep your eyes on Me, enjoying Peace in My Presence.”
Psalm 5:11 – But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you.
Ephesians 3:20-21 – Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
Jude 24:25 – To him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy—
Joshua 1:5 – No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.
WHAT'S IN YOUR SPONGE?
Author Unknown
There are 5 sponges laying on your kitchen counter top. Each member of
your family has been cleaning up different areas of your home, but
all the sponges look the same. You are curious as to what was cleaned
in your home, but you can't tell by looking...they all look the
same....so what do you do?
You squeeze each sponge to see what comes out. As you squeeze the
first sponge, you see that cola comes out, and so you decide that
someone cleaned the kitchen with that one. Upon squeezing the second
sponge, you find tub and tile cleaner - that one was used to clean the
bathroom.
Next, in the third sponge, you find motor oil -- hubby was cleaning
the garage!
In the fourth sponge, baby powder puffs out when it is squeezed -- yep
the baby's nursery was done with that one!
And finally, in the last one, is floor wax -- that was the one you
used on the hall floor!
As you lay the last one down, you look again at their similarity - and
they all look the same until they're squeezed.
Christians are the same way. As life squeezes us, different things
come out - anger from one, a need for revenge from another, tears from
one, remorse from yet another - also greed, untruth, lust - and
finally, from one saint, pours forth the love of Christ.
Just like the sponge, we can only squeeze out what is put in - stay in
the Word daily, and be in continuous prayer, so that when life puts
the squeeze on you (and it WILL), Jesus, and Jesus ALONE will shine
forth from you!
Have a blessed, squeaky clean day!

Congratulations Gloriajean. I knew you would master this new forum process with persistence along with trial and error. I love your "daily positive threads" and I'm glad they will continue.

Thank you much Anika and Julie for your enouragment which I really needed. It was much easier to put this thread out tonight and I praise God for that!! I love Pope Francis too!!

Gloria, happy to see the thread.
It's a shame you can't get it all on one post like it used to be, but we are so happy to have it , we love it no matter how it gets on here.
Maybe the Q will get it straightened out eventually.
Blessings to all.

Harlene - thanks! Yes, I think it'll work out. Tonight I didn't even try to get it all on one, but I did two at a time and that worked great!!! Maybe I can, I just didn't try tonight. Pasting is ctrl and v. That's what works for me.
Thanks for coming back!

Good evening, everyone
I thought I'd post in living color! lol
The other day I just gave up trying to post. Kept getting a message that no posting was allowed for the time being, something like that. I tried at different times of the day, finally just gave up.
It's been busy around here the past couple of days since the grandsons are out of school for the summer. I can't seem to get a thing done when they are here, that's my excuse! lol
Gloria, it looks like you've got the hang of things, I guess we all have to learn something new, keeps us on our toes if nothing else.
Well, not much more to say, I'll just hush and hope that you all have a peaceful and restful night.
I came back to add that as I hit "post", I got an error message telling me that my HTML whatevers had been removed. I've no idea what that means and didn't know I had them! lol Looks like all is well the 2nd time around.
