Hello my friends! Today is our son-in-law's birthday. Darla will celebrate with him yet and tomorrow she flies home for the week. First she's spend sister time with Lori before she (Lori) leaves for Alaska early Sunday morning. Praying hard that Darla won't be in such pain for the trip again. Please, Lord, grant her healing, in Your Name, I pray!
God gives us power, love and self-discipline, not fear and timidness.
Lord, I will not be afraid to proclaim that You are my God. All will
see it in my actions.

"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change, though the
mountains shake in the heart of the sea; though its waters roar and
foam, though the mountains tremble with its tumult." ~Psalm 46:1-3

We can constantly claim God's strength. Once convinced of the right of
a course of action, once reasonably sure of God's guidance, we can claim
that strength. We can claim all the strength we need to meet any
situation. We can claim a new supply when our own supply is exhausted.
We have a right to claim it and we can use this right. A beggar
supplicates, a son appropriates. When we supplicate, we can be kept
waiting, but when we appropriate God's strength in a good cause, we can
have it at once.
P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y
I pray that I may claim God's strength whenever I need it. I pray that
I may try to live as a child of God.
WHAT IS FAITH?
By Max Lucado
May 21, 2009
Faith means being sure of the things we hope for and knowing that
something is real even if we do not see it...it is by faith we
understand that the whole world was made by God's command so that what
we see was made by something that cannot be seen...without faith no
one can please God. Anyone who comes to God must believe that He is
real and that He rewards those who truly find Him. (Hebrews 11:1,3,6)
Faith is the belief that God is real and that God is good...it is a
choice to believe that the One who made it all hasn't left it all and
that He still sends light into the shadows and responds to gestures of
faith.
Faith is belief that God will do what is right.
God says that the more helpless your circumstances, the more likely
your salvation. The greater your cares, the more genuine your prayers.
The darker the room, the greater need for light.
God's help is near and always available, but it is only given to those
who seek it.
"Father, help us renew our commitment to You, to release everything
and to be owned and possessed by You. We long to submit ourselves to
You that we might know the Holy freedom available to us only through
Your grace."
The Be-Attitudes
Be understanding to your perceived enemies.
Be loyal to your friends.
Be strong enough to face the world each day.
Be weak enough to know you cannot do everything alone.
Be generous to those who need your help.
Be frugal with that you need yourself.
Be wise enough to know that you do not know everything.
Be foolish enough to believe in miracles.
Be willing to share your joys.
Be willing to share the sorrows of others.
Be a leader when you see a path others have missed.
Be a follower when you are shrouded by the mists of uncertainty.
Be first to congratulate an opponent who succeeds.
Be last to criticize a colleague who fails.
Be sure where your next step will fall, so that you will not tumble.
Be sure of your final destination, in case you are going the wrong way.
Be loving to those who love you.
Be loving to those who do not love you; they may change.
Above all, be yourself.

Have the wonders of this modern age
Made you question what is true?
How a single man in a simple time
Could offer life anew?
How a sinless life, a cruel death
then a glorious life again
Could offer more to a desperate world
Than the inventions of man?
If in your life, the voice of God
Is sometimes hard to hear.
With other voices calling
His doesn't touch your ear.
Then set aside your laptop and modem
And all your fancy gear.
And open your Bible, open your heart
And let your Father draw you near.
