Love people so much that you will do all that you can to lessen their
human sorrows. Lord, You have shown Your love for me. May I
now radiate Your presence to others.
Scripture for the day:
"Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." ~Psalm
119:105
Meditation for the day:
In all of us there is an inner consciousness that tells of God, an
inner voice that speaks to our hearts. It is a voice that speaks to us
intimately, personally, in a time of quiet mediation. It is like a
lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path. We can reach out into the
darkness and figuratively touch the hand of God. Deep down inside
each of us is the fundamental idea of God. We can find this great reality
deep down within us. And as we find it, it can change our whole
attitude toward life.
Prayer for the day:
I pray that I may follow the leading of the inner voice. I pray that
I may not turn a deaf ear to the urging of my conscience.
Greetings my friends! I was going to get this out much earlier, but the
internet was off - we had a storm, not a bad one, but still the internet was
gone for hours! I don't know when it finally got back on, I came here now,
it was still not working, then I rebooted it, and it worked!! Praise God! Of
course I said a prayer, too! I posted a prayer on Viewpoints - and would
you believe that prayer got blocked for comment? I was so surprised when I
went there just before and there was a shout out for me to tell me that. It
says blocked for comment! In all my years here, I've never seen that. But
at least there were 78 views - and maybe 78 prayed the prayer, so that's
always good. We did get a nice rain tonight - little thunder, but not loud.
It got really hot here today - like 92 degrees, and after the rain it sure
cooled down. We sat on the porch watching the birds who are not afraid of a
little rain! Even the cardinal came around! I came over here to see if our
thread is blocked too, but no, it isn't. That's a blessing. Thanks,
Caroline, for your nice, uplifting post! My girls are on their way now - they will stop to see the Ozarks too! Praying for their safety. Darla is so happy that Lori is driving back with her so she doesn't have to drive alone!
Don't let go of hope.
Hope gives you the strength to keep
going when you feel like giving up.
Don't ever quit believing in yourself.
As long as you believe you can,
you will have a reason for trying.
Don't let anyone hold your
happiness in their hands;
hold it in yours, so it will always
be within you reach.
Don't measure success or failure by
material wealth, but by how you feel;
our feelings determine the richness
of our lives.
Don't let bad moments overcome you;
be patient, and they will pass.
Don't hesitate to reach out for help;
we all need it from time to time.
Don't run away from love but towards
love, because it is our deepest joy.
Don't wait for what you want to come to
you; go after it with all that you are,
knowing that life will meet you halfway.
Don't feel like you've lost when plans
and dreams fall short of your hopes.
Anytime you learn something new about
yourself or about life, you have progressed.
Don't do anything that takes away from
your self-respect; feeling good about
yourself is essential to feeling good
about life.
Don't ever forget how to laugh or be
too proud to cry.
It is by doing both that we live
life to its fullest.
The Power of Prayer
The day was long, the burden I had
borne
Seemed heavier than I could longer
bear,
And then it lifted-but I did not know
Some one had knelt in prayer.
Had taken me to God that very hour,
And asked the easing of the load, and
He,
In infinite compassion, had stooped
down
And taken it from me.
We cannot tell how often as we pray
For some bewildered one,
hurt and distressed,
The answers comes, but many times
those hearts
Find sudden peace and rest.
Some one had prayed, and Faith, a
reaching hand,
Took hold of God, and brought Him
down that day!
So many, many hearts have need of
prayer: Oh, let us pray

Do Not Doubt It
You are beautiful
God made you and you are beautiful
Do not doubt it
You are loved
God loves you
HIS love is unfailing and never ending
Do not doubt it
You are not alone
God is always with you
through the good times and the bad
HE will never forsake you
Do not doubt it
HE is waiting for you
When your time on this earth has ended
HE will be waiting for you at Heaven's Gate
with open arms
HE is ready to welcome you home
when the time is right
Do not doubt it
by LJ Rogers
Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his
Son to be the propitation for our sins.
I John 4:10
Prayer For Relieving Stress And Anxiety
Lord, there has been too much change in my life recently, and I feel
overwhelmed. Because I try to be a responsible person, I sometimes forget
that it is unwise for me to allow my sense of duty to override my common
sense.
Lord, help me to allow myself more time to rest, relax, and pray. Guide me
toward something spiritual to read every day and a quiet time afterwards to
reflect on what I have read and how it pertains to my life. I truly want to
simplify my life and live more as Christ did. Help me remember that there
is no loss or problem I must face alone. You are always near, with Your
love and compassion to comfort me. Amen.
Good night everyone! May you all have a good night's rest and sweet dreams!
And a very peaceful, pleasant, positive Saturday filled with blessings from
Our Lord!
I'll post yet before I leave, hope you get your posts in early!!!
This is the prayer I posted on Viewpoints that they blocked comments:
Dear Heavenly Father
by William De Witt Hyde
Dear heavenly Father,
Give me clean hands, clean words, and clean thoughts;
Help me to stand for the hard right
Against the easy wrong;
Save me from habits that harm;
Teach me to work as hard,
And play as fair in thy sight alone,
As if the whole world saw;
Forgive me when I am unkind,
And help me to forgive those who are unkind to me;
And keep me ready to help others.
God bless your Saturday with His richest blessings!!
