Only Jesus can make a sad heart glad

He is always on duty caring for his sheep

the only one to follow as he does guide and lead

Only Jesus can see the lonesome heart and void
the only one who can fill it to overjoyed
He is always there to hear our pleadings and request
the only one who gives perfect peace and rest.

Ten years of Tears 9-11 Anniversary

This week has been a very somber week for so many with the anniversary of 9/11 upon us. This past week has also been difficult as many family and friends have had loved ones go home to be with the Lord in Heaven.

I came across a  song called rain and it reminded me of all the tears shed over the past 10 years. What beauty and compassion we all share as humans. No matter our race, age or status we all care deeply and that only comes from God giving us such deep Hearts that feel pain when we see another suffering. Through all the sadness I feel a sense of beauty in the bond that we as humans have for one another.

Watching the television or hearing the media events can bring out so many different emotions. Let us come together and offer prayers for all of the lives that were taken and for those who have been left broken hearted. May we give thanks as well to God for each life that was spared in this tragic event.   May we honor those who were heros, may we never forget that we are so very lucky to live in the Land of the free and the home of the Brave. Let us take care of each other, let us love this earth and never forget each day is a gift.

 

Tonight I say may God wipe your 

tears, strengthen you from your fears, grant you love and may you know that God is with you through it all.  

May you always Feel his love and presence.      deb

Prayer During a Bad Economy - Fish or Stones?

 What man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?

 During these difficult economic times we all seem to find ourselves watching our pennies. We may not eat out as much, were buying non brand foods, skipping the fancy coffees.  Many even sit and wonder how they will pay rent. Some wonder how they will be able put gas in the car to get to work.  

Millions now ask themselves will I even have a job after this week?  

  Times are tough and this causes stress and at times tempers flare. People in general are on edge more than ever before. Not everyone is in a "Gods Grace" state of mind. Many even are angry with God or say how could God do this to my family? When we encounter those who have lost hope or faith the best thing you can do is to pray for that person or with that person. Lift them up in prayer, offer love, offer compassion.   

   If you have a garden offer a few items to a neighbor, flower garden leave a bunch of flowers on a doorstep. You can surprise a co worker with a simple note saying Hope your day is great or offer a smile.  If a loved one is stressed out sit down and be a good listener or offer to talk a walk.

 We all should remember  to treat our family as well as we would treat a stranger on the street or as kind as we do a co-worker.We have all heard the saying we hurt the ones we love. That saying is true as when were stressed out or tired it is easy to be short with a loved one.

 It is easy to give material gifts when the cash is flowing.  Some times  we need to go outside of our comfort zone to offer gifts from the heart. You may be pleasantly surprised that these non material gifts are truly treasured more than an item that is tossed into a closet or drawer. Gifts given with emotion and love are forever stored in the heart.

 

 To fully trust and have faith is very difficult to do when your in the midst of a horrible storm in your life but this is when you need to remember GOD will never give you less than what you really need. He will never forsake you, He loves you and cares for you. Pray with THE BELIEF that he has your best interest at heart and pray in KNOWING he will get you through to the next chapter in your life.

   *Let us all remember the treasures stored on earth will mean nothing when we leave this world. Let us take this time of weak economy and troubled times to remember the important things in life: Our family, our animals, our friends, our neighbors and our world. Let us offer charity, go back to gardening, Sunday family dinners or other traditions such as baking a cake for a friend just out of kindness.  Go back to the simplicity of life as it can be an amazing experience to slow down and just take it all in. 

*Life is short let us love each and enjoy every single day. 

Brighten a day and give from your heart. Remember God is always in control so let him take the wheel and drive your life into a peaceful and prosperous place. Prosperity is not always material items, or financial gain it is a sense of Grace, inner peace, love and the knowlege that God is with us always.

We often pray God please help me. While we should  pray God almighty I know you will help me!!!

(Matthew 6:20 )

But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
 

It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed. (Deuteronomy 31:8)

The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms. (Deuteronomy 33:27)

The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. (Psalm 9:9-10)

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging. (Psalm 46:1-3)
