November 29

Greetings: God bless you this Lord's Day!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
You live with a daily onslaught of tragic news from around
the world and close to home-sad images from the TV, heart-
breaking stories from friends. The hard realities can rob you
of your joy and replace it with fear. You can lay your fears to
rest. You can give God your cares and burdens and place your
trust completely in him.
(Moments of Peace in the Presence of God)

SCRIPTURE:
Keep me safe O Lord, for in you I take refuge. Psalm 16:1

As the old song goes... "Where can I go but to the Lord?"

Know I prayed for you today. Blessing-Freda

November 28

Greetings: God bless you this day!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
The cost of giving your best is high. The only thing that
costs more, is not giving your best. (Kent M. Keith)

SCRIPTURE:
I know your deeds, you are neither cold or hot. I wish you
were either one or the other. Revelation 3:15

Luke warm will not wash with God. He gave his best and expects
us to do the same... however I thank him for his grace, when I fail
to give my best!

Know I prayed for you today. Blessings-Freda

November 27

Greetings: God bless you this day!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
God's greatness and majesty are evidenced everywhere,
if we look at the world with childlike eyes-birds fly from
branch to branch, fish dart here and there in the sea, geckos
skitter across warm rocks and stars shoot across the sky. A
child has no difficulty believing that God made all things.
(Moments of Peace in the Presence of God)

SCRIPTURE:
The heavens declare the glory of God, the skies proclaim the
work of his hands Psalm 19:1

As adults, we sometimes become too busy to stop and see
God's hand at work in nature. Perhaps that is way God asks
us to become as little children... so can continue to see the
simple beauty of who he is!

Know I prayed for you today. Blessings-Freda

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
Count You Blessings:
Thanksgiving comes to us each year,
Some pray, some feast. some rest.
I fold my hands and bow my head
And count the ways I'm blest.
(Lucille Crumley)

SCRIPTURE:
If I take part in the meal with thankfulness,
why am I denounced for something I thank
God for? 1 Corinthians 10:30

Today, count your blessings instead of calories
and thank God you have calories to count!

Know I prayed for you today. Blessings-Freda

November 25

Greetings: God bless you this day!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
The wonderful thing about our God is that his commands
are always accompanied with his help! God even assists us
with our, "want to be." In Philippians 2, we're reminded
that God works in us enabling us, "to will" and act according
to his purpose. So whether you're struggling with your
"want to be,' or your "how to," you can rely on God 's
leading to obey and to give you what you need, whether
wisdom or desire. (Megan Gillan)

SCRIPTURE:
If any of you lack wisdom, he should ask God, who gives
generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given
to him. James 1:5

If your, "want to," doesn't match you, "how to"... pray for wisdom
and God will supply it!

Know I prayed for you today. Blessings-Freda

Greetings: God bless you this day!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
Life without God is like an unsharpened pencil-it has
no point. (Billy Graham-From Carolyn Hicks)

SCRIPTURE:
A fool says in his heart, "There is no God."
Psalm 14:1

If this nation's plans seem pointless... perhaps it's because
God has been left out of those plans?

Know I prayed for you today. Blessings-Freda

November 23

Greetings: God bless you this day!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
Have you ever prepared for a journey, studied the map
and still made a wrong turn... finding yourself in an unknown
place? Confusing wasn't it? Maybe even a little frightening. In
Babylon, the Jewish people were in exile, an unknown place.
Daniel knew the scripture and knew what Jeremiah had foretold.
He had a road map for the future people of Israel. Perhaps change
has befuddled you. Maybe your neighborhood is frightening. Won't
you be a Daniel? Make prayer your norm. (Peggy Gustave)

SCRIPTURE:
So I turned to the Lord God and pleaded with him in prayer and
petition, in fasting and in sackcloth and ashes. Daniel 9:3

God is bigger than anything that can happen in you life-your-
neighborhood or the world!

Know I prayed for you today,

Greetings: God bless you this Lord's Day!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
Dear God,
The little plans
I tried to carry though
Have failed.
I will not sorrow,
I'll pause a little while,
Dear God,
And try again tomorrow.
(John Fice)

SCRIPTURE:
May he grant you what is in your heart
and fulfill your every plan. Psalm 20:5

May your plans be fulfilled today, but if they're
not, remember... God is wiser than you or your
plans!

A house is made of walls and beams.
A home is built with love and dreams.
(Sandi V-From Joyce Bouse)

SCRIPTURE:
Unless the Lord builds the house, its builders
labor in vain. Psalm 127:1

Perhaps the absence of God is what keeps a house
from becoming a home?

Forgotten Heros

Memorial Day we honor the Fallen Heroes.
Today, Veteran's Day, we honor the Forgotten Heroes.

FORGOTTEN HEROES
They return from every war
Thanking God to be alive.
They meld into society,
Feeling blessed to have survived.

Some, with daily nightmares
And memories hard to bear,
Some, with physical reminders,
Of limbs no longer there.

Some, with great hopes for the future,
Discover jobs are hard to find
And feel that this country
Is neither loyal or kind.

Some of them return,
To be confined to bed or chair
And never have a visitor
To offer comfort or a word of cheer.

They are the forgotten heroes,
Who answered this nation's call,
Our brave, American Veterans...
Who are willing to give their all.
Freda Fullerton, 11-11-2009

November 11

Greetings: God bless you this day!
Please fly your flag today and pray for those in the Military.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
God wanted your heart to feel, not hide. He never intended
your heart to be broken by wars and violence or pain and
sorrow. If you've locked your heart, open the door. God
made you a person of tears too, and remember: He cries
with you. (Touched by an Angel)

SCRIPTURE:
Those who sow in tears will reap songs of joy.
Psalm 126:5

Our tears are essentially, a tenderizer for the heart, and
a cleanser for the soul!

Greetings: God bless you this day!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
When Jesus saw Judas among the multitude that came to arrest
him, he looked at Judas and called him friend. What he saw in
Judas as worthy of being called friend, I can't imagine. But I know
that Jesus doesn't lie and in that moment he saw something good
in a very bad man. (Max Lucado-From Elva Smithson)

SCRIPTURE:
Wish good for those who harm you, wish them well and do not
curse them. Romans 12:14 (NCV)

Only one man was all good... there is a little of both the good
and the bad in the rest of us. Today, seek the good in those you
meet!

Know I prayed for you today. Blessings-Freda

There is no traffic jam when going that extra mile.
(Reminisce Magazine)

SCRIPTURE:
If someone forces you to go a mile, go with him two
miles. Matthew 5:41

Greetings: God bless you this day!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
The lame, blind, deaf and the lepers where all shunned
by the culture. They had no place. No name. No value.
But those whom the people called trash, Jesus called
treasures. (Max Lucado-From Elva Smithson)

SCRIPTURE:
The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have
leprosy are cured and the deaf hear. Matthew 11:5

The word's trash is Jesus' treasure. His ministry was in
the back-streets and ally's of the poor!

Know I prayed for you today. Blessings-Freda

November 6

Greetings: God bless you this day!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
Things don't just happen. Those things we call "accidents," or
"surprises," or "discoveries" are actually revelations of God's
love and constant concern for you. If you keep your faith and
trust in God, the meaning of these things will become clear. If
you greet each new day and expect it to reveal the glory and
power and love of God, your day will be filled with awe.
(Moments of Peace in the Presence of God)

SCRIPTURE:
Whoever is wise, let him heed these things and consider the
great love of the Lord. Psalm 107:43

We bought our son a bike for his 10th birthday. I put a note in a gift
box that read, "Your surprise is in the garage." He dashed out to the
garage, looked all around and failed to see the bike. Our surprise fell
flat! I think God must feel the same way when we fail to see the gifts
he prepares for us.

Know I prayed for you today. Blessings-Freda

Be doers of the word, and not hearers only. James 1:22

It is no sin to be afraid of failing. The sin is not being a try-er,
in spite of the fear!

November 4

Greetings: God bless you this day!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
The sunset is one of God's magnificent wonders-a celestial
changing of the guard. Do you view sunsets of your life in the
same way you do sunrises? Endings can be as beautiful as
beginnings, if we allow God to open our eyes to understanding.
When we realize the miracle of sunsets, we will no longer cling
to the remains of the day.
(Moments of Peace in the Presence of God)

SCRIPTURE:
I will praise the Lord, who counsels me; even at night my heart
instructs me. Because he is at my right hand I will not be
shaken. Psalm 16:7-8

When we come to the sunset of our lives... we can be confident
that God will be there waiting at the sunrise!

Greetings: God bless you this day!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
Feeling inferior can become a habit. We sometimes grow up
believing that we're not smart enough, not pretty enough,
not capable enough. We sometimes grow up too distant
from our real source of strength. (Hazelden Meditations)

SCRIPTURE:
The Lord is my strength and my shield. Psalm 28:7

If we really believe we're made in the likeness of God, that should
take care of our feeling inferior!
