It is you, not where you are or what you have, that makes the difference.
Lord, may I always blossom where I am planted.
Scripture for the day:
"I will look to the LORD, I will wait for the God of my salvation; my God
will hear me." ~Micah 7:7
Meditation for the day:
We can admit our own helplessness. God will hear our prayer. Our own need
can be recognized, then we can ask God for the strength to meet that need.
But once that need is recognized, our prayer is heard above all the music of
heaven. It is not theological arguments that solve the problems of the
questing soul, but the sincere cry of that soul to God for strength and the
certainty of that soul that the cry can be heard and answered.
Prayer for the day:
I pray that I may be humble enough to realize my need and ask for help. I
pray that I may fell certain that God will hear and answer my prayer.
Hello my friends! Today we got the good news that Ron's surgery was a success and the tumor was not cancer! Praise the Lord!!! Thanks for your prayers! Praying for all of you too!!
Just What I Need
Dear God, give me strength to do what I must
And to remember that it's You who I should trust.
Let me be kind in my words today
Despite my pain, I'll have nice things to say.
Show me Your wisdom found deep in Your Word
Perhaps there's a message I have not yet heard.
When I want to give up; keep me close to You
So I know You are with me no matter what I go through.
Those times when I stumble and fall right on my face
Remind me it's because I stepped out of my place.
You are my Healer and time is Your key
Someday soon there will be a miracle in me.
Waiting on You God, is a step of faith and hope
But knowing You're faithful is just how I cope.
This illness can't last forever, so in You I rest
Trusting always in the One who knows best.

Don't Wake Him Up!
A man was giving his testimony at one of those old Salvation Army open air street meetings.
As he was testifying, a heckler yelled out, "Why don't you shut up and sit down? You're just dreaming."
Immediately that heckler felt a tug on his coat. He looked down to see a little girl, who said. "Sir, may I speak to you?
That man who is talking up there is my daddy. Daddy used to be a drunkard. He used to spend all of the money he made on whiskey. My mother was very sad and would cry most of the time.
Sometimes when my daddy came home, he would hit my mother. I didn't have shoes or a nice dress to wear to school. But look at my shoes. And see this pretty dress? My daddy bought these for me."
But the little girl wasn't through with that heckler yet.
"See my mother over there? She's the one with the bright smile on her face. She's happy now. She sings even when she's doing the ironing."
Then the little girl said . . . "Mister, if my daddy is dreaming, please don't wake him up!"

A tax assessor came one day to a poor pastor to determine
the amount of taxes the pastor would have to pay.
The following conversation took place:
"What property do you possess?" asked the assessor.
"I am a very wealthy man," replied the minister.
"List your possessions, please," the assessor instructed.
The pastor said:
"First, I have everlasting life,
John 3:16.
Second, I have a mansion in heaven,
John 14:2.
Third, I have peace that passes all understanding,
Philippians 4:7.
Fourth, I have joy unspeakable,
1 Peter 1:8.
Fifth, I have divine love which never fails,
1 Corinthians 13:8.
Sixth, I have a faithful pious wife,
Proverbs, 31:10.
Seventh, I have healthy, happy obedient children,
Exodus 20:12.
Eighth, I have true, loyal friends,
Proverbs 18:24.
Ninth, I have songs in the night,
Psalms 42:8.
Tenth, I have a crown of life,
James 1:12."
The tax assessor closed his book, and said, "Truly you
are a very rich man, but your property is not subject
to taxation." - Author Unknown
I pray that all of us will have this kind of tax free "wealth."
Prayer is joy,
prayer is love,
prayer is peace.
You cannot explain it,
you must experience prayer.
It is not impossible.
God gives it for the asking.
"Ask and you shall receive."
The father knows what to give his children
- how much more our heavenly
Father knows.
