If you have to lift a boulder it is a torturous job for one person. If you let you friends help you it's much easier! Well "what a friend we have in Jesus" because he is there 24/7 and ready to help roll that boulder all the way to France if neccesary. We may not be able to accomplish much on our own but allow Jesus to help you and you'll be amazed at how far He can take you. So next time you have a heavy burden let Jesus help you!
God Bless!

Now on to the regular programing
. Be the cream, when you are living your life for Jesus you should strive to be the cream, do the best you know how, no matter what the situation. Whether it be at your job, school or tending to children at home. Jesus is the "cream of the crop" so we need to strive to be like Him, be the best we can, give it our all no matter how insignificant you might feel the task is. It was given for a reason, so you could show God your love and respect for Him by doing your all. So go out there and be the cream folks!God bless!

My Mom got upset at the minister who did my younger brother's funeral, because he quoted Ephesians 2:8-9, about not having to do works to be assured of heaven. She railed at me over and over again, as though I were responsible for him saying that. My family was Catholic when I was growing up, and there were many attending his funeral who are Catholic, but also many unsaved, non-churched people. Mom felt the message should have been more ecumenical. I told her I don't go to a Catholic funeral expecting them to do a message that won't offend me. I certainly would not go to a Jewish funeral expecting them to quote Ephesians. Why should the pastor be concerned about anyone but the deceased's beliefs that Jesus was his Lord and Savior.

Well for starters I just love that song! However that isn't the only reason for the basis of todays thoughts. I was reading my "Daily Bread" this AM and it was telling about a gentleman who when told they were sorry about the loss of his wife he replied, "Oh she's not lost, I know right where she is!" Isn't that wonderful? That's just one of the blessings of being a Christian, we have that assurance from Jesus Himself. What more could we ask for? I've decided not to have a funeral but to have a graduation party! I want everyone to be happy that I've been able to join my Lord.
God bless!

Try to rest as much as you can and know I'm praying for you! The boot I am wearing now is worse than the surgery boots. It has a thick sole, and goes up to my knee. It is thick fabric and four velcro straps, two on the top of the foot and two around my calf. It is heavy, and keeps my ankle from bending. It has two metal strip that run up on either side of the leg. Mine is falling apart, so I am looking into replacing it tomorrow.

I sure would appreciate your prayers. This will also delay my hammertoe surgery.

This isn't a regular day's sayings but just some random thoughts. Last nite my grand daughter called to tell me yet another person she knew committed suicide with a hand gun. She is only 22 yet in the last several years 6-8 people she went to school with have killed themselves and most used guns. I have to ask why does a teen ager have a gun? I don't blame it on the gun because all of them were also using drugs, most of them on meth. But when I was that age I would have had no idea where to get a gun. My dad had hunting rifles but they were locked and the key for the lock was also locked away.
What makes these kids so depressed that this is the only solution they see? Why don't they know that this too will pass? My GD found her daughters daddy with his head literally blown off, a year later his best friend did the same thing and the girl that shot herself was the daddy's ex wife! Is it a matter of the sick people all tend to hang around together? Do they think for one second what this will do to their loved ones and friends?I know what GD went thru for that next year, it was not pretty what it did to her. I dread the day GD or we have to explain to her why her daddy isn't here. She knows her daddy is in heaven but she doesn't really understand what death is at 4 yrs. old. Every time I see some adorable thing she does I always think about her daddy and what he is missing. Thankfully GD is still in very close touch with the little one's grampa on her daddy's side so the little one has a good and close relationship with him. In fact he is our next door neighbor so we have a little family compound out here in the country.
It's just so sad and breaks my heart that these young people have so little hope of good things to look forward to that they choose this as a solution.
I wish you all a happy and restful weekend and please say a prayer for all these lost souls.
God bless!
