![]() APRIL 15 2008 TUESDAY God loves you To God Be the Glory IN 2008... LET'S DON'T BE LATE (FOR GOD) Psalm 102:14 For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour the dust thereof. ~~~~~~~~~~ The other day I ruined both my hear- ing aids. (I'd put them in my shirt pocket, then washed the shirt. Not recommended!) Replacing them would take three weeks, and meanwhile it was "What did you say?" and "Can't hear you" and "Say again?" until my wife Tib must have been ready to buy a bullhorn. But it was an odd thing, she told me later, that dis- tressed her most. "It wasn't having to raise my voice and repeat," she said. "It was that I no longer found myself sharing the little things"--the small, fleeting, inconsequential observations that didn't merit com- municating at the top of her lungs. "I realized how much of our relationship is made up of just those shared minor moments." How many such moments, I wondered, did I stop to share with God? Moments when your heart lifts, when you understand something or notice something new. Yesterday morning I saw an insect laying her eggs on the outside of a window pane in our kitchen; I stood and watched--and thanked God for showing me one of His smaller miracles. Later in the day, in a crowded New York City coffee shop, I noticed a man with an enormous belly slumped in front of his lap- top, snoring peacefully, accepted and undisturbed as people passed by smiling. A few moments later, an- other lovely glimpse, a mother with an infant strapped across her chest hailing a taxi in the rain. Little mo- ments to share with Tib ... and with God. PRAYER THOUGHTS: Help me, Father, to tell You more of the little things that are at the heart of intimacy. HYMN FOR TODAY: "Count Your Blessings" HYMN FOR THE WEEK: "Let's Just Praise the Lord" HYMN FOR THE MONTH: "Lord Hear Thou My Prayer" 1 John 2:21b NO lie is of the truth Colossians 3:9a Lie NOT one to another Revelation 12:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and ALL LIARS, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. IF YOU LIE YOU ARE ... L ... osing your mansion God has prepared for you I ... n very serious danger of going to "hell" E ... ternally lost FOR GOD'S SAKE (and yours) "STOP LYING" LET'S READ THROUGH THE BIBLE TOGETHER: Sunday April 13 2008 - Acts 4:1-22 Deuteronomy 19-20 Job 13 Monday April 14 2008 - Acts 4:23-37 Deuteronomy 21-22 Job 14 Tuesday April 15 2008 - Acts 5:1-16 Deuteronomy 23-24 Job 15 Disciplined reading of the Word and constant prayer will keep our hearts in tuned to God BIBLE VERSE FILLINS: And we know that the ___ of God is come, and hath given us an _____________, that we may know him that is ____, and we are in him that is ____, even in his Son Jesus Christ.

Is it possible Lord For me to have one good day I just think of all the ones I have just let slip away I let all the stormy days Take over the good I let them bring me down Knowing with God I could have stood I gave it all up because I didn't care I thought I had no reason to live I thought I had nothing left No more to say No more to give So what now Where do i go Who do I turn to So I kept saying to myself What Would Jesus Do I had to talk to someone Someone who knows how to care So I went to my knees and found God was waiting for me there ~~Karen Have you ever just been sitting there and all of a sudden you feel like doing something nice for one you care for? THAT'S GOD talking to you through the Holy Spirit. Have you ever been down and out and nobody seems to be around for you to talk to? THAT'S GOD wanting you to talk to Him. Have you ever been thinking about somebody that you haven't seen in a long time and then next thing you know you see them or receive a phone call from them? THAT'S GOD. There is no such thing as coincidence. Have you ever received something wonderful that you didn't even ask for, like money in the mail, a debt that had mysteriously been cleared, or a coupon to a depart- ment store where you had just seen something you needed, but couldn't afford? THAT'S GOD knowing the desires of your heart. Have you ever been in a situation and you had no clue how it was going to get better, how the hurting would stop, how the pain would ease, but now you look back on it. THAT'S GOD passing us through tribulation to see a brighter day. I was just sitting here and this thought hit me hard. I have known this for a long time but I have to share this with you since it hit me so hard and at this very moment........ "GOD IS SO GOOD" When no one is there to help you who is? GOD IS When no one else seems to love you who does? GOD DOES HE IS THERE LOVING AND HELPING YOU THROUGH IT ALL NO MATTER WHAT AND WE LOVE YOU TO GOD BLESS EACH OF YOU GOT JESUS ... IT'S HELL WITHOUT HIM H - e O -nly L - eft Y -ou B - asic i- nstructions B - efore L - eaving E - arth When you reach the end of your rope you will find the hem of HIS garment Either you do ... or you don't Either you will ... our you won't Either you can ... or you can't Be Happy ... Don't Worry Let go and let God Love and be loved This to shall pass Could be worse I'm too blessed to be stressed If God brings you to it ... He will bring you through it If God said it ... that settles it Always be happy "TODAY," so tomorrow you would not ask, why was I sad yesterday? COLORS OF FAITH ... YELLOW ... God's perfect light BLACK ... our sins RED ... the blood Jesus shed for us WHITE ... the cleansing of our sins GREEN ... the new life we have in Jesus BLUE ... the baptism that identifies us with Jesus PURPLE ... the crown of life The only person I have to get better than is the person I am right now Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow. Don't walk behind me, I may not lead. Just walk beside me and be my friend. God loves you and so does Life Savers Ministry Please check out these websites: http://www.ourchurch.com/member/l/lifesavers http://z13.invisionfree.com/Life_Savers_Ministry/index.php freewebs.com/lifesavers-ministry Dear God you know the need of each of your children.
