God is Good

After only a few minutes, yesterday, with the weather temps dropping, my hot water lines froze, before I realized it.  I fell into silent prayer, for God's help and reminded him that he's never let me down before, and has always answered my sincere prayers.......... About and hour ago, my cold water in the kitchen, started working and a few minutes later, so did the hot water.  I'm so thankful to our Lord, for his constant help in time of need and daily as my husband and I go about our daily works.
Thank you Lord for your answer to my prayers, for protection and help.  Thank you for your daily help to make it through and on to another day you gift us with.......

The Lord is Good

Of No Use?

The next time you feel like GOD can't use YOU, just remember...
Noah was a drunk
Abraham was too old
Isaac was a daydreamer
Jacob was a liar
Leah was ugly
Joseph was abused
Moses had a stuttering problem
Gideon was afraid
Sampson had long hair and was a womanizer
Rahab was a prostitute
Jeremiah and Timothy were too young
David had an affair and was a murderer
Elijah was suicidal 
Isaiah preached naked
Jonah ran from God
Naomi was a widow
Job went bankrupt
John the Baptist ate bugs
Peter denied Christ
The Disciples fell asleep while praying
Martha worried about everything
The Samaritan woman was divorced, more than once
Zaccheus was too small
Paul was too religious
AND Lazarus was dead!

No more excuses now!! God can use you to your full potential. Besides you aren't the message, you are just the messenger.

Mine was cataracts, which is distorted or cloudy vision caused by the lens inside the eye losing its transparency over time.

Bass Tuning

There's always a need to get instruments tuned in accord with each other, for uniform harmony in music.  Sometimes, you can do it with the other instruments that are with  your band, but other times, it takes a professional to do the  5 string bass tuning  for the best performance.  A band can really sound out of harmony with one instrument being out of tune.  To get expert advice about this service, click on the link in this post.

True Words

Speaking the truth, is sometimes very hard to do, with all the opposition we face in our world today.  America, is facing a battle, that will become hard fought.  We as believers, must be true to our religion and God.

1 Peter 4:12-14 ESV

Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice insofar as you share Christ's sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed. If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you.
The Bible clearly says that Christians will be persecuted. It still happens today in many different forms, from being mocked to murder. Still, you should not let persecution stop you from being a Christian. Accepting Jesus Christ as your Savior is one of the most important things you should do in your life.  Don't avoid it just because of the persecution.

Lighting

 All large buildings are lit in a fashion needed for the areas involved.  A church needs lighting for the main building, so that the religious services can be observed in a likely manner.  They need to locate good dealers, to purchase their lights.  The  commercial lighting fixtures from warehouse-lighting.com  manages to service many large companies with adequate lighting, for each room.  To shop for your lighting whether it be commercial or otherwise, click on the link in this post and look around.

Quilt of Life

Before each of us laid our lives like the squares of a quilt in many piles; an angel sat before each of us sewing our quilt squares together into a tapestry that is our life. But as my angel took each piece of cloth off the pile, I noticed how ragged and empty each of my squares was.  They were filled with
giant  holes.  Each square was labeled with a part of my life that had been difficult, the challenges and temptations I was faced with in every day life.  I saw hardships that I endured, which were the largest holes of all.
I glanced around me.  Nobody else had such squares.  Other than a tiny
hole here and  there, the other tapestries were filled with rich color and the bright hues of worldly fortune.  I gazed upon my own life and was disheartened. My angel was sewing the ragged pieces of cloth together, threadbare and empty, like binding air. Finally the time came when each life was to be displayed, held up to the light, the scrutiny of truth.  The others rose; each in  turn, holding up their tapestries.  So filled their lives had been.  My angel looked upon me and nodded for me to rise. My gaze dropped to the ground in shame.  I hadn't had all the earthly fortunes.  I had love in my life and laughter.  But there had also been trials of illness and wealth, and false accusations that took from me my world, as I knew it.  I had to start over many times.  I often struggled with the temptation to quit, only to somehow muster the strength to pick up and begin again.  I spent many nights on my knees in prayer, asking for help and guidance in my life..  I had often been held up to ridicule, which I endured painfully, each time offering it up to the Father in hopes that I would not melt within my skin beneath the judgmental gaze of those who unfairly judged me. And now, I had to face the truth..  My life was what it was, and I had to accept it for what it was. I rose and slowly lifted the combined squares of my life to the light. An awe-filled gasp filled the air.  I gazed around at the others who stared at me with wide eyes. Then, I looked upon the tapestry before me. Light flooded the  many holes, creating an image, the face of Christ.  Then our Lord stood before me, with warmth and love in His eyes.  He said, 'Every time you gave over your life to Me, it became My life, My hardships, and My struggles. Each point of light in your life is when you stepped aside and let Me shine through, until there was more of Me than there was of you.'

May all our quilts be threadbare and worn, allowing Christ to shine through!

I thought this was beautiful and wanted to share it with you as a friend did with me.........

Our Needs

I want to take a moment and thank our loving God, for knowing our needs before we ever need them.  For placing us in the right place at  the right times to receive the pending needs.  He never lets us down, when we rely on him for our benefits.  Giving our daily problems over to him, opens the doors for his heavenly blessings.  I truly believe that he is always one moment away from handling the situations that arise in our lives.  Thank you Lord, for once again taking a situation and correcting it, in our time of need.

So Sad

In the last few days, a person took his life for whatever sad reason.  He was husband to my oldest daughter's childhood friend.  It seems that this man had been experiencing many health problems through the past few years, along with emotional problems as well.
When the woman left to find safety from his domestic outbursts, he began to regress and thus lost his will to live.  I know how sad this must be for his family and friends.  The reality of knowing you couldn't help someone during their emotional bouts, is a hard thing to accept.
As for the wife, she knows that even though there was good, there was also too much bad to deal with.  Her life being safe was a very important issue, when he would loose control of his actions.  Yet, she will live with the sad fact that the short time they were together, didn't give him the emotional help he needed.  I pray God's comfort, understand and peace for everyone involved in this time of  sadness. May this poor unhappy man, rest in peace!
