Daily Positive Thread for Friday

Greetings to all!  Today's blessings - Linus had a doctor's appt. to have his nose bleeds stop - so far so good!  Sammy had an X-Ray - he does not have congestive heart failure as we thought he did, just a slightly enlarged heart that isn't any more enlarged than last year!! It's his trachera that is making him cough - slightly collapsed.  A steroid shot was mentioned but no, we won't go that route again.

He's okay! Praise the Lord!!  Thought it was worse.  

 

 

 

Let Go Of Sorrow

 

I've heard it said don't go to bed while hanging on to sorrow,
you may not have the chance to laugh with those you love tomorrow.

You may not mean the words you speak when anger takes its toll,
you may regret your actions once you've lost your self-control.

When you've lost your temper and you've said some hurtful things,
think about the heartache that your actions sometime bring.

You'll never get those moments back, such precious time to waste,
and all because of things you said in anger and in haste.

So if you're loving someone and your pride has settled in,
you may not ever have the chance to say to them again...

"I love you and I miss you and although we don't agree,
I'll try to see your point of view, please do the same for me."

Thank You Lord
by Elsie Natalie Brady

I cannot thank you Lord enough
For all you've given me,
For food and shelter, and for love
Of friends and family.
In time of sorrow you stood by
And held my trembling hand,
You wiped the tear drops from my eyes
And helped me to understand.
Although I cannot ever know
What the future has in store,
Your love will always see me through,

 

'Til we meet on Paradise shore.
 
A Little Bit of Love
 
 
Just a little bit of love.
How bright it made the day
The burdened heart was lighter
And sweeter seemed the day.
 
Just a little bit of love,
And gloomy thoughts were gone,
The rosy hues of morning
With each reflection shone.
 
Just a little bit of love,
The trembling hand was strong
And nerved to win the battle,
Although the fight was long.
 
Just a little bit of love,
And wondrous is its power
To strengthen, bless and gladden
In every needy hour.
 
THIS IS TRULY POWERFUL IN THE MIDST OF TODAY!


    "Marvel at How Great God IS!"
 
He is the First and Last, the Beginning and the End!
He is the keeper of Creation and the Creator of all!
He is the Architect of the universe and The Manager of all times.
He always was, He always is, and He always will be...
     Unmoved, Unchanged, Undefeated, and never Undone!
He was bruised and brought healing!
He was pierced and eased pain!
He was persecuted and brought freedom!
He was dead and brought life!
He is risen and brings power!
He reigns and brings Peace!
 
The world can't understand Him,
The armies can't defeat Him,
The schools can't explain Him, and
The leaders can't ignore Him.
Herod couldn't kill Him,
The Pharisees couldn't confuse Him, and
The people couldn't hold Him!
Nero couldn't crush Him,
Hitler couldn't silence Him,
The New Age can't replace Him, and
Donahue can't explain Him away!
 
He is light, love, longevity, and Lord.
He is goodness, Kindness, Gentleness, and GOD.
He is Holy, Righteous, mighty, powerful, and pure.
His ways are right,
His word is eternal,
His will is unchanging, and
His mind is on me.
He is my Redeemer,
He is my Savior,
He is my guide, and
He is my peace!
He is my Joy,
He is my comfort,
He is my Lord, and
He rules my life!
I serve Him because His bond is love,
His burden is light, and
His goal for me is abundant life.
I follow Him because He is the wisdom of the wise,
The power of the powerful,
The ancient of days, the ruler of rulers,
The leader of leaders, the overseer of the overcomers, and
The sovereign Lord of all that was and is and is to come.
 
And if that seems impressive to you, try this for size.
His goal is a relationship with ME!
 
He will never leave me,
Never forsake me,
Never mislead me,
Never forget me,
Never overlook me, and
Never cancel my appointment in His appointment book!
 
When I fall, He lifts me up!
When I fail, He forgives!
When I am weak, He is strong!
When I am lost, He is the way!
When I am afraid, He is my courage!
When I stumble, He steadies me!
When I am hurt, He heals me!
When I am broken, He mends me!
When I am blind, He leads me!
When I am hungry, He feeds me!
When I face trials, He is with me!
When I face persecution, He shields me!
When I face problems, He comforts me!
When I face loss, He provides for me!>
When I face Death, He carries me Home!
 
He is everything for everybody, everywhere,
Every time, and every way.
He is God, He is faithful.
I am His, and He is mine!
My Father in heaven can whip the father of this world.
 
So, if you're wondering why I feel so secure, understand this...
He said it and that settles it.
God is in control, I am on His side, and
That means all is well with my soul.
Everyday is a blessing for GOD Is!
 
   PASS THIS ON
I love the Lord and thank Him for all that he does in my life,
therefore, I'm passing this on. Yes I do love Jesus.
He is my source of existence and my Savior.
He keeps me functioning each and everyday.
Without Him, I will be nothing.
Without Him, I am nothing but with Him I can do all things.
Philippians 4:13
 
Take...
 
Take my life, and let it be consecrated, Lord, to Thee.
Take my moments and my days; let them flow in ceaseless praise.
Take my hands, and let them move at the impulse of Thy love.
Take my feet, and let them be swift and beautiful for Thee.
 
Take my voice, and let me sing always, only, for my King.
Take my lips, and let them be filled with messages from Thee.
Take my silver and my gold; not a mite would I withhold.
Take my intellect, and use every power as Thou shalt choose.
 
Take my will, and make it Thine; it shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart, it is Thine own; it shall be Thy royal throne.
Take my love, my Lord, I pour at Thy feet its treasure store.
Take myself, and I will be ever, only, all for Thee.
 

October 22 - Jesus Calling

No matter what your circumstances may be, you can find Joy in My Presence. On some days Joy is generously strewn along your life-path, glistening in the sunlight. On days like that, being content is as simple as breathing the next breath or taking the next step. Other days are overcast and gloomy; you feel the strain of the journey, which seems endless. Dull gray rocks greet your gaze and cause your feet to ache. Yet Joy is still attainable. Search for it as for hidden treasure.

Begin by remembering that I have created this day; it is not a chance occurrence. Recall that I am present with you whether you sense My Presence or not. Then, start talking with Me about whatever is on your mind. Rejoice in the fact that I understand you perfectly, and I know exactly what you are experiencing. As you continue communicating with Me, your mood will gradually lighten. Awareness of My marvelous Companionship can infuse Joy into the grayest day.

Surely you have granted him eternal blessings and made him glad with the joy of your presence. —Psalm 21:6

And if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure. —Proverbs 2:4
