Greetings: God bless you this Lord's Day!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:

My task on earth is not to excel above others, but to

be better than myself. (Edna Pendergrass)

SCRIPTURE:

Honor one another above yourselves. Romans 12:10

If I'm busy trying to improve myself, I'll not have time to try

and improve others!

Greetings: God bless you this day!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:

Even though we may have walked with Jesus for most

of our lives, we may not know him as thoroughly as

we expected. We study our Bible; we go to church, we

have good examples from our senior saints. Still we

are slow to grasp the loving power, the Presence, the

guidance in our lives. We do not always see him in the

hungry child, the hurting teen or the lonely widow, in

the handicapped or the blind. (Christian Voices)

SCRIPTURE:

Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger

on needing clothes or sick and in prison? He replied,

"Whatever you did not do for the least of these, you

did not do for me." Matthew 25:44-45

We need to see him also in the faces of the stressed-out

checker at the super-market or the rude drive in the car

next to us (my personal failure) or the harassed mom

that allows a child to scream while you're eating a meal

in a restaurant. Everyone we meet has a burden or a trial

they're facing. We need to see then as Jesus sees them!

Greetings: God bless you this day!

I would like to recommend a TV program that is on tonight.

It's called SCHOOL PRIDE ("Rising From the Flood.") It

is the an elementary school in Kingston Springs, TN. The

school was devastated by the flood that hit the Nashville area.

Our daughter, Janet Walker, is the director of the Kingston Springs

library and she volunteers at this school each Friday. It will be

on NBC (Channel 4 in our area at 8PM)

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:

God offers His message of overwhelming love in the Gift of His Son

that provides life to the faithful through the blood of Jesus.

(Vantage Point Devotional)

SCRIPTURE:

God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still

sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8

The good news: We don't have to get GOOD to come to Christ. He accepts

who we are, where we are!

Know I prayed for you today. Blessings-Freda

Greetings: God bless you this day!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:

Enjoy your own life without comparing it with another.

(Marquise de Condorcet)

SCRIPTURE:

I have learned the secret of being content in any and every

situation. Philippians 4:12

We'll never be happy if we continue to compare who we are and

what we have with others!

Greetings: God bless you this day!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:

We must not only give what we have; we must give what

we are. (Cardinal Mercia)

SCRIPTURE:

Not every one that says to me, "Lord, Lord,"will enter the

kingdom of heaven, but only he that does the will of my

Father who is in heaven. Matthew 7:21

To make our gift acceptable to God, we must put our heart

in it!

Greetings: God bless you this day!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:

Every morning is a gift!

(Author Unknown)

SCRIPTURE:

His compassions never fail. They are new every morning.

Lamentations 3:22-23

We may awake each morning with pain or feeling lonely,

but if we can see the day as a blessing and not a curse

and be thankful to God... the day will be a success.

Thanking God may not change our situation, but it

WILL change our attitude!!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:

Love's power to cast out fear yields the unshakable hope

that faith brings. When I'm really convinced that God's

promises are true, I will not shrink back, no matter the

duty that love demands. (Michael C. Armor)

SCRIPTURE:

Perfect love drives out fear. 1 John 4:18

I've not grown to that perfect love yet... but God is patient

with me and his grace is there when I'm fearful. Praises!!

Know I prayed for you today. Blessings-Freda
