Will pray for you as well.Great advice for the day! I know I'm going to need it, and could really use some prayers that seek God's will and do what is right-- not being swayed by my personal opinions and emotions in dealing with some neighborly issues today.
good on yaOkay!
I have good news to report. I did call Bro. Calvin this morning; I waited until about 10 a.m. because he's not a morning person, lol.
I apologized sincerely and he accepted my apology graciously. I'll be meeting him there at the shelter to help with the class next Monday.
Also, my heart, which was very burdened down with sin yesterday (I sinned against my brother) is light and free today
There are more details to this story....but perhaps I will write it down in my blog someday.
God bless you all! I am never too old to learn something new everyday. Jesus has fresh manna for us daily.
I love this WWJD club!
Wonderful advice my friend.Good morning friends. I hope each of you has a blessed day in the Lord. Remember to be thoughtful, compassionate, and patient with those who are around you. Give to someone who is in need, and be at peace with everyone.

Fellowship is like light: you don't know how alone you can be until it's gone. Good thing there's so much light here. God Bless all here.

I will keep you in prayer and your neighborWOW! Excellent words!
Happy Friday everyone!
I'm calling my neighbor today. I'm tired of this emailing back and forth that seems to be doing nothing but hurting each other. My intent was to not cause any harm, but apparently I have.I pray, PRAY, P-R-A-Y God leads the conversation and my words to erase the hurt feelings and smooth out the road of friendship.
Good Morning
thank you for all the encouraging wordsMay each of you have a blessed day in the Lord and continue to be a blessing to others. Remember to count your blessings and to give thanks to our Great Father for each of them.
awesome and wow.Hi.Blessings to all of you!
I found this story at another site this morning. The story touched me, and I wanted to share it here with you all. You will see what I mean when you read it.

"EXCUSE Me, ARE YOU JESUS?"
-Author Unknown.
As you read this think about what you would do!
A few years ago a group of salesmen went to a regional sales
convention in Chicago. They had assured their wives that they
would be home in plenty of time for Friday night's dinner. In their
rush, with tickets and briefcases, one of these salesmen
inadvertently kicked over a table which held a display of apples.
Apples flew everywhere. Without stopping or looking back, they
all managed to reach the plane in time for their nearly missed boarding.
ALL BUT ONE !!! He paused, took a deep breath, got in touch with
his feelings, and experienced a twinge of compassion for the girl
whose apple stand had been overturned.
He told his buddies to go on without him, waved good-bye, told
one of them to call his wife when they arrived at their home
destination and explain his taking a later flight. Then he returned
to the terminal where the apples were all over the terminal floor.
He was glad he did.
The 16 year old girl was totally blind! She was softly crying, tears
running down her cheeks in frustration, and at the same time
helplessly groping for her spilled produce as the crowd swirled
about her, no one stopping and no one to care for her plight.
The salesman knelt on the floor with her, gathered up the apples,
put them back on the table and helped organize her display. As he
did this, he noticed that many of them had become battered and
bruised; these he set aside in another basket.
When he had finished, he pulled out his wallet and said to the girl,
"Here, please take this $40 for the damage we did. Are you okay?"
She nodded through her tears. He continued on with, "I hope we
didn't spoil your day too badly."
As the salesman started to walk away, the bewildered blind girl
called out to him, "Mister...." He paused and turned to look back
into those blind eyes. She continued, "Are you Jesus?"
He stopped in mid-stride, and he wondered. Then slowly he made
his way to catch the later flight with that question burning and
bouncing about in his soul: "Are you Jesus?" Do people mistake
you for Jesus? That's our destiny, is it not? To be so much like
Jesus that people cannot tell the difference as we live and interact
with a world that is blind to His love, life and grace.
If we claim to know Him, we should live, walk and act as He would.
Knowing Him is more than simply quoting Scripture and going to
church. It's actually living the Word as life unfolds day to day.
You are the apple of His eye even though we, too, have been
bruised by a fall. He stopped what He was doing and picked you
and me up on a hill called Calvary and paid in full for our damaged fruit.
Please share this,,,, Sometimes we just take things for granted,
when we really need to be sharing what we know...
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. Prov 3:5-6
