GOD WILL BE GLORIFIED

                                            GOD WILL BE GLORIFIED

                                      One truth that has settled and heart
                                      these past few years is this...God
                                      will be glorified.
                                      If we fail to praise him, the stones
                                      and rocks shall raise up, speak out 
                                      and glorify his name. (Luke 40:19)
     
                                      If we do not glorify God, does it make
                                      any difference? If we are not glorifying
                                      God, who then are we really glorifying?

                                      King David tells us that the day will come
                                      in which all nations shall come and worship
                                      before the Lord, and glorify his name. 
                                      (Psalm 56:10) 

                                      Individually, Jesus asks each of us to glorify
                                      our Father which is in heaven.(Matt.5:16).

                                      Saint Paul exhorts us:"With one mind and
                                      mouth, glorify God, even the Father of our
                                      Lord Jesus Christ.(Romans 15:6).

                                      Our Heavenly Father, help us right now,
                                      this very day, by word and by deed, to
                                      glorify Thee. In Jesus' name, Amen.

                                                                      ISAIAH 20:5,6

                                      And they shall be afraid
                                      and ashamed of Ethiopia,
                                      their expectation
                                      and of Egypt, their glory
                     
                                      And the inhabitant of the isle
                                      shall say in that day, Behold
                                      such is our expectation,
                                      whether we flee for help to be
                                      delivered from the king of Assyria:
                                      and how shall we escape?

LAST CHANCE

                                                                            LAST CHANCE
                               
                                        "Marriage, wrote Joseph Barth, "is 
                                        our last, best chance to grow up."
                                        And, in fact, many of us don't even
                                        begin to grow up until long after we've
                                        left the alter.
                                        For it is in and through marriage that 
                                        we learn...
        
                                        The art of give and forgive
                                        The art of live and let live
                                        The art of sacrifice
                                        The art of being nice
                                        The art of sincere prayer                                                    
                                        The art of being fair
                                        The art of giving in and letting go
                                        The art of permitting love to flow
                                                           
                                        Marriages really never fail...
                                        People are the ones that fail...to grow

                                                                               LAUGHTER

                                         Laughter lightens the load
                                         Laughter  creates pearls from perils
                                         Laughter  sends hundreds of hope-rays
                                         into the hearts of others
                                         Laughter  peeks out from behind the clouds
                                         to say "Ah-ha, I told you so."
                                         Laughter   defeats gloom while delighting 
                                         in gentle gaiety
                                         Laughter  opens the door to contemplation
                                         Laughter  focuses on our foibles
                                         and keeps us humble
                                         Laughter is the wise man's answer 
                                         to despondency
                                         Laughter  adds needed spice to the bland
                                         man's life
                                         Laughter  is relief to the decent man and
                                         ridicule to the despot
                                         Laughter  is oil for the worn and weary soul

​                                                         OUR MOTHER 1978

                                         When we were in the cradle
                                              Who oversaw our sleep
                                              When ailments touched our bodies
                                              Who would quietly kneel and weep
                                              Why, none other than our mother
                                              When toddlers we became
                                              Who often called our name
                                              And took us by the hand
                                              And played a kitchen game
                                              Why, none other than our mother
                                              When growing up became our lot
                                              Who often set us straight
                                              And taught us the narrow way 
                                              And prayed about our fate
                                              Why, none other than our mother
                                              When our children reach our age
                                              We trust they'll surely know
                                              There was one who dearly loved them
                                              And hated to see them go
                                              'Twas no other than their mother

                                            ISAIAH 19:1,22, 23

                                           The burden of Egypt
                              Behold, the Lord rideth upon a swift cloud
                              and come into Egypt and the idols of Egypt
                              shall be moved at his presence
                              And the heart of Egypt shall melt
                              in the middle of it 


                                    And the Lord shall smite Egypt
                                    He shall smite and heal it
                                    And they shall return even to the Lord

                                    And he shall be entreated of them
                                    And shall heal them

                               In that day, there shall be a highway
                               out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian
                               shall come unto Egypt, and the Egyptian
                               into Assyria, and the Egyptians shall serve
                               with the Assyrians

                                                                             ON THIS DAY

                                       An unknown author has written:
                                          "On this day...
                                          Mend a quarrel
                                          Search out a forgotten friend
                                          Dismiss suspicion, 
                                          And replace it with trust
                                          Write a love letter
                                          Share some treasure
                                          Give a soft answer
                                          Encourage youth
                                          Manifest your loyalty,
                                          In a word or deed
                                          Keep a promise
                                          Find the time
                                          Forego a grudge
                                          Forgive an enemy
                                          Listen
                                          Apologize if you were wrong
                                          Try to understand
                                          Flout envy
                                          Examine your demands on others
                                          Think first of someone else
                                          Appreciate, be kind, be gentle
                                          Laugh a little more
                                          Deserve confidence
                                          Take up arms against malice
                                          Decry complacency
                                          Express your gratitude 
                                          Worship your God
                                          Gladden the heart of a child
                                          Take pleasure in the beauuty

                                          And wonder of the earth"

                                                                  ATTENTION! ATTENTION!

                                   Are you currently going through a struggle?
                                   Maybe there's a physical ailment that has
                                   laid you flat on your back.
                                   Perhaps there is greater disharmony and
                                   disunity within your home or family.
                                   Maybe there are financial difficulties that
                                   are driving you to drink.
             
                                   Have you ever considered that your Heavenly
                                   Father may be using your particular set of 
                                   serious circumstances in order to get your
                                   attention?

                                   Can you not see that God is trying to get
                                   our attention? All of it. All of the time.
       
                                   If you are being plauged at the present 
                                   time, give God your full attention and see 
                                   for yourself if he doesn't fully bless you.

                                   (Written on August 1, 1978---507)

EPIPHANY

                                                                               EPIPHANY
                                                        
                                             In many churches, January 6 celebrates the
                                     visit of the three Kings or Wise men to the 
                                     baby Jesus. It is one of the oldest Christian
                                     celebrations, dating back to the second 
                                     century, A.D. It is often known as Twelth
                                     night, or the Feast of the Epiphany.
 
                                     In addition to its religious connotations,
                                     Epiphany may mean the sudden manifestation,
                                     perception or an illuminating discovery of an
                                     important idea or truth.

                                     During the Christmas season, many of us reflect
                                     on the year past as to whether we did well to
                                     follow the teachings and examples as set forth
                                     by Jesus Christ. And many of us commit to doing
                                     better and being better in the year ahead.

                                     While it is good to have an epiphany at Christmas
                                     time, there are no limits to how many epiphanies
                                     we may have as we seek them throughout the 
                                     whole year.

                                     May 2018 continuously shine forth with gracious
                                     epiphanies for you and all your family and friends.
