In everything imitate God and you will come to know him better and better.

Lord, I ask your help to come close to you in my thoughts and bring love to

this earth.

Scripture for the day:

"And this is eternal life, that they may know you, the only true God,
and Jesus Christ whom you have sent." ~John 17:3

Meditation for the day:

"And this is eternal life, that they may know you, the only true God,
and Jesus Christ whom you have sent." Learning to know God as best we
can helps us experience eternal life. Freed from some of the
limitations of humanity, we can grow in things that are eternal. We
can strive for what is real and of eternal value. The more we try to
live in the consciousness of the unseen world, the gentler will be our
passing into it when the time comes for us to go. This life on earth
can be largely a preparation for the eternal life to come.

Prayer for the day:

I pray that I may live each day as though it were my last. I pray that
I may live my life as though it were everlasting.

Hello my friends! Today I deleted cookies, in the hopes that I can post the thread better, and I hope it helped. The day was too hot to do much outside, close to 100 degrees, so I picked raspberries in the forenoon and stayed indoors most of the day in the AC. Well, I did iron, when you hang clothes outside, you have to iron, anyway I do, I cleaned out drawers, and I've had enough now. I'm anxious to see if this thread works better for me now because, my friends, typing it all out would take too much time. God knows I need this to work!! My blessings today are: 1) getting done with all I did today so far, 2) hubby grilling so I don't have to heat the kitchen, even doing the potatoes on the grill and we'll have a salad, 3) I'm so grateful for you, friends, who helped me get my thread on when it was impossible for me. I am very grateful, and love you all with prayers.

THE MENDER

My Savior specializes in mending broken things,

He takes the heart that's shattered, and gives it songs to sing.

He pieces it together with His sweet gracious touch;

He mends the heart that's broken because He loves so much.

He mends the broken spirit, then lifts that spirit up,

The broken lives He reshapes... those lives so wrecked by sin,

When in their crushed condition they turn in faith to Him.

The broken dreams that crumble to ashes at our feet,

That seemed so fair and lovely, that made life taste more sweet.

Those broken dreams He rebuilds and fashions them anew. ..

Then gives us faith to trust Him to see new dreams come true.

What of the broken plans then? The broken health that comes?

Is He not ever mindful when life's swift pendulum

Dashes to scattered pieces the plans that we have made?

Above it all, He whispers- "I shall come to your aid."

He restores broken spirits, binds broken hearts, and dreams,

Repairs the shattered pages of lives that He redeems.

He stands ready to help us no matter what life brings

Because He specializes in mending broken things!

ARE YOU WILLING?

To close your book of complaints and to open the Book of praise?
To stop looking for friendship and start being friendly?
To ignore what life owes you and think about what YOU owe life?
To believe others are quite as sincere as you and to treat them with respect?
To cease looking for someone to help you and to devote yourself to helping others?

Guide Me, Lord

Guide me with
your wisdom, O Lord,
so that my soul
may always be serving you
in the way you will
and not as I choose.
Let me die to myself
so that I may serve you;
let me live to you who
are Life itself. Amen.
