"Disciples"

We are all called to be good disciples for God. The various ways in which we serve to that greater gain are hugely varied. Encouraging one another is a large part of that. Through our actions and works we can help others to grow. We also need to discipline ourselves to study and learn and become more like God.It is like a college course with no graduation date. ( at least until we are with our father in heaven). Our time on earth is short so fill it with sharing Gods' word and essence. Verses; Luke 5; 1-11 Prov 12: 1

"Living"

All species have a desire to continue. It is an inner instinct of survival God has given to all creation. Fire can come and destroy the forest only to be reborn anew again. Animals procreate and feed and often thrive. Man has always tried to improve his lot, at least in sheer numbers? But living should be about being right with God! Living for God and to serve his purpose should be a goal of all. He will take care of the rest. Verses Ge 2: 7 Phil 1: 20-26

"D - Day"

I thought today, I knew what to expect. I was wrong. The amount of impact we feel from such a thing is amazing. Years of building a life together can't be severed in one day! Jesus said love is our most important gift. God never said the loss of a loved one would be easy. Gods love however does not end. God will love us for all eternity. Love those in your life and let them know they are loved! Verses: Lam 3 : 32 1John 3: 1 1Cor 13 .

"Suffering?"

So often our best intentions are followed by disasters. There is no amount of planning or prep that can always insure success. This is the way God helps us to be more like him. In times of failure or disappointment, we learn to be more patient and understanding. We also find that it is really not all that bad. If everything always went as planned how would we know when God is refining us?? Pray: Thank you God for molding each of us, through your lifes lessons we become more of what you would have us be. Amen!! Verse 1 Peter 1: 6-9

"Water"

We all are aware of how precious water is. The question is what do we do about it? Once again we find ourselves with the duty of protecting this awesome earth. Water has and will always be Gods greatest gift to life. Without water all life ceases. Throughout the bible people have been associated with water.(wells to offer, parting of seas, thrist quenched). Baptism is water and its potential to renew. Nothing can satisfy our thirst and bring us health like water. We need to good stewards of water today and every day. Pray: God, you are the reason for the water, help us to be responsible with the wonderful gift of life it provides. Amen. Verses : Psalm: 63 1 Psalm: 65 9-10

"Family"

How wonderful that our family can bring us so much joy and laughter. How wonderful to being a part of Gods bigger family and the joy there too! Life is not all laughter and joy, but we sure should appreciate it when we have it. Kind of like a salve on days where we are struggling and facing various issues. Thanks for all those we can call family and the joy they bring. Pray: God we are so thankful for our families and ask for your hand in all we do. Help to expand and nurture every family, give them peace, love, and joy! Amen Verses 1Tim 5 : 3-8 Psalm 68: 6

"Perserverance"

Ever had a difficult task ahead of you??? When there is a " Headwind" we have to lower our heads and push forward. If we allow God to be our fuel, then our success is ensured. We will never know what the outcome will be but can trust God does. The " Tailwind" that follows ia also a gift from God, where we can feel the push from God as we move through our lives. Verses: Hebrew 12 : 1-3 2 Peter 1 : 3-11
