Phillipians 4, selections

⁴Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice.

⁵Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.

⁶Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

⁷And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

⁸Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

¹¹Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.

¹²I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.

¹³I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

¹⁹ And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus. ²⁰ To our God and Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen

Great little chapter, isn't it?

Spiritual

Prescribed by the Great Physician ***************************** 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 Samson 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 Peter denied Christ (3 times!) The Disciples fell asleep while praying Martha worried about everything Mary Magdalene was promiscuous The Samaritan woman was divorced, more than once.... Zaccheus was too small Paul was too religious Timothy had an ulcer.... AND Lazarus was dead! Now! No more excuses! God can use you to your full potential. Besides, you aren ' t the message, you are just the Messenger. And one more thing.. Share this with a friend or two... In the Circle of God ' s love, God is waiting to use your Full potential 1. God wants spiritual fruits, not religious nuts. 2. "Dear God : I have a problem. It ' s me. " My Dear Child: I have the solution. It ' s Me! !" 3. Growing old is inevitable ... Growing UP is optional. 4. There is no key to happiness. The door is always open. 5. Silence is often misinterpreted but never misquoted. 6. Do the math .. Count your blessings. 7. Faith is the ability to not panic. 8. Laugh every day. It ' s like inner jogging. 9. If you worry, you didn' t pray. If you pray, Don ' t worry. 10. As a child of God , prayer is kind of like calling Home every day. 11. Blessed are the flexible for they shall not be Bent out of shape. 12. The most important things in your house are the People! .... 13. When we get tangled up in our problems, be still. God wants us to be still so He can untangle the knot. 14. A grudge is a heavy thing to carry. 15 He who dies with the most toys is still dead. Have a great day!!! The SON is shining and He Can certainly use you! Please share, I just did. ~~~ A Christian Treasury to share

It's Independence Day

Romans 8 (ESV)

²⁰For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope ²¹that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God.

We are citizens of Heaven and our truest freedom is through the salvation of Jesus Christ, He Who IS.

Despite current very disturbing trends in our country, we are still the greatest country on the face of the earth.

Despite the current rewriting of history, the original documents of our Founding Fathers, in the Smithsonian, testify that they were indeed believers in JESUS CHRIST. They said they founded the nation on Christian principles.

Until about 1850, any legislation introduced to Congress had to be backed up by verses from the Bible, showing that it had a Biblical basis.

Manly Lapghan

I decided to make a lapghan in manly colors. I mean, lom (little old men) get cold knees too, and they don't need a pastel lapghan. Ignore the glare in the above photo, please. I think the colors look well together, don't you?

Remember, dear ones, to rejoice is a choice.
