Morning Devotional...


Ye said also, Behold, what a weariness is it!
Malachi 1:13


Visiting a mountain village in Honduras, we had meetings all day until just after sunset.

The people were poor, and had neither electricity nor running water. Someone held a kerosene lantern up so I could preach the last message.

Although they had been there all day, the people listened with great attention. Afterwards I noticed a small group of folks leaving up a mountain path. The others explained that these had walked three hours from another village just to be in the meetings, and now they were walking three hours back at night on a mountain trail.

Lord, forgive us for saying we're too tired to go to gather with God's people!

RIA

It's nice that Marcel can let you use his computer, but I understand about working on a computer that is not set up just for my own needs. I must do that a lot at my work, and I also have eye problems. It is much more difficult.

I truly hope your computer will be working well for you when you get it back, Ria.

I will be with my children in Atlanta this weekend and also a couple of days next week. I will try to check in from there. She has 2 computers, but primarily keeps the one hooked up that is for her work. So, if I'm missing, don't worry about me.

Y'all have a very good day today.

Good morning to all and a big "Thank You"  for the birthday greetings. 

I have just caught up in NEM and listened to the "Just as I am"  medley.  It sounds a lot like John Tesh's playing...is it?  I loved it!!

Friends took me out to supper last night for my birthday and I really tried to stay on my diet.  It was a barbeque buffet and temptation was all around.  The scales will tell next week.

Ria, I will be glad when your computer gets back.  You post such nice things.

A good day to all.  Let us be "Sunbeams for Jesus"  (anybody remember that song?)

Good morning, everyone.

I'm still browsing around the boards...so much to see here.  I'm delighted. 

So many talented people here.  I'm sure I'll learn a lot.  Thanks all.

Good Morning Everyone!

The sun is trying to shine here in Guelph!  How nice! I have some yard cleaning up work to do as they pick this up next week at the curbside so I better get going.

It's so good to welcome our new friends yesterday.  I hope that they find their way to New Every Morning here and get to know all of us.

Happy to see you posting here and there, Gwen!

Good Morning, Nice Devotional, Pat

Reminded me of an email I received!

I dreamt that I went to Heaven and an angel was showing me around. We walked
side-by-side inside a large workroom filled with angels.

My angel guide stopped in front of the first section and said, "This is the
Receiving Section. Here, all petitions to God said in prayer are received."
I looked around in this area, and it was terribly busy with so many angels
sorting out petitions written on voluminous paper sheets and scraps from
people all over the world.
Then we moved on down a long corridor until we reached the second section.

The angel then said to me, "This is the Packaging and Delivery Section.
Here, the graces and blessings the people asked for are processed and
delivered to the living persons who asked for them."

I noticed again how busy it was there. There were many angels working hard
at that station, since so many blessings had been requested and were being
packaged for delivery to Earth.
Finally at the farthest end of the long corridor we stopped at the door of a
very small station. To my great surprise, only one angel was seated there,
idly doing nothing. "This is the Acknowledgment Section," my angel friend
quietly admitted to me. He seemed embarrassed. "How is it that? There's no
work going on here?" I asked.
"So sad," the angel sighed. "After people receive the blessings that they
asked for, very few send back acknowledgments.

"How does one acknowledge God's blessings?" I asked.

"Simple," the angel answered. "Just say, "Thank you, Lord."

"What blessings should they acknowledge?" I asked.

"If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead
and a place to sleep ... you are richer than 75% of this world. "If you have
money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish, you are among
the top 8% of the world's wealthy.

"And if you get this on your own computer, you are part of the 1% in the
world who has that opportunity."
Also ......

"If you woke up this morning with more health than illness ...... you are
more blessed than the many who will not even survive this day.

"If you have never experienced the fear in battle, the loneliness of
imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation ... you are
ahead of 700 million people in the world.

"If you can attend a church meeting without fear of harassment, arrest,
torture or death .. you are envied by, and more blessed than, three billion
people in the world.

"If your parents are still alive and still married .. you are very rare.

If you can hold your head up and smile, you are not the norm, you are unique
to all those in doubt and despair."
OK, what now? How can I start?

If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing in that
someone was thinking of you as very special and you are more blessed than
over two billion people in the world who cannot read at all.

Have a good day, count your blessings, and if you want, pass this along to
remind everyone else how blessed we all are.

Attn.: Acknowledge Dept.: Thank You Lord!
"Thank you Lord, for giving me the ability to share this message and for
giving me so many wonderful people to share it with."

Thinking of everyone.  I may be out-of-touch for several days - perhaps have time to come in and check messages.  Have a safe weekend.

Since some of our new folks yesterday came late, I'm going to post some welcomes to them in today's topic so that they'll be sure to see them.

I thought it was appropriate to post a snowflake welcome because it is snowing here!!!  The snowflakes are huge and beautiful.   

Chandraya was amazed to see them.  I can't wait for Lila mae to get up so she can see them too.  Last year, Lila Mae didn't care for the snow all that much.  This year could be different.
Maybe later we can have a

It has been a very busy week.  So many things going on. 

It is nice seeing all the new folks here and Gwen posting.  Awesome! 

I better get the little one off to school.

Hope you all have a wonderful morning.

Good Morning> Pat thank you for the devotional today. On Wednesday night our teacher told how 20 years ago she would walk  for miles just to go to church. My friend Willa verified that Linda walked those miles every week with her 3 little children. We are so blessed in this country to just be able to drive to church. When I first got saved I often walked the 2 1/2 miles to church when someone forgot to pick me up. I would see people driving to chuch go right by me.

Thank you Suzanne for posting that story, we need those reminders to  be thankful for the blessings that we have received.

Today I am going to Physical Therapy at 10 AM. Then I plan to stop by a freind from church and ask her to go for a walk with me. She had the Gastric ByPass surgery 1 1/2 weeks ago.

Gloria is suppposed to be released from the hospital today.

Soni, your welcome to the new folks is gorgeous...  but no snow here yet!  LOL  I'm going to do some tidying in my garden today.

Hi Marilyn!

LIVING ABUNDANTLY...


Jesus is the source of my abundance...

When I make my requests known to Him with thanksgiving,
I never doubt anything but a perfect outcome.[/list]




God's Word says...

He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

Good morning to all of you.  Been a busy one for me already.  I'm tired from several hard days at work in a row, but I guess I'll be okay

Bye for now!

What comes around, goes around. hehehehe... Pat! 

Wow, Soni, snow already, how nice! It is hot and humid here in Arkansas   So you can send some of that good looking snow my way!

Etta Sue, those sure are nice animations! Did you make them in Animation shop?

Thanks Soni!  Keep it there PLEEEEZE!!!

Suzanne ~ No, I can't take credit for the animations I use.  I got them from the web somewhere.  Just thought they would be nice to use on CP.

Sonja ~ Please....keep that snow there.  I love a new fallen snow but a few hours later, it is yucky.  And a few days later, it is really yucky and a few weeks later, it is really, really yucky and a few months later, it is tiresome!!!!!!  THINK GREEN!!!!

And to think it is snowing in Wyoming and here it is 72 degrees F!  Ivalou was just here and she said it is so humid outside.  The rain woke me this morning but while I was reading my Bible, the sun was shining.  I hear Kaye Don's mower running.  He is putting fertilizer on their yards.
