Good Morning Everyone,
Did you know you have great power within your hands?
You do. You have the power to bless or hurt with your hands.
A touch upon the back of someone in need, a whispered
prayer can revive a broken spirit and bring hope.
A hug for those who never get affection can lift a person's
spirit until they want to get up and live ... and do things again.
If you go up to a person who is looking sad, distraught, or
depressed, and lay your hands on their shoulder, and say
I do not know what you are going through, and I may not
have the answers for you, but I know the God who does,
and I will be praying for you today. Wow ... what a powerful
impact that has on someone who is really hurting.
They think... wow... someone cares... about me?
Many people feel unworthy to be cared about... do you
realize what a wonderful impact someone showing
kindness to them can make?
My friends, there is power in one person reaching out
in love and taking time to bless someone else.
You can make a difference. Just do it.
Don't wait for someone to encourage you to do it,
the person in need, may need you right now.. not
when you feel like it. Just do it.
Do it in the name of Jesus, a cup of cold water
for the thirsty, a warm reminder of God's great love
and mercy towards us. Be His Hand extended!
love always

Give and (gifts) will be given to you,
good measure, pressed down, shaken together
and running over will they pour into you. For with
the measure you deal out -- that is with the measure
you use when you give benefits to others -- it will
be measured back to you.
Luke 6:38
This not only means out giving of our finances to God,
but also of our time, love and whatever we have
within our hands and means to give.
When we give out, we have room left to receive back.
If our cup is always full and we never empty it out to
share, we have no room to receive, we have become
greedy and self complacent. Don't ever allow yourself
to be that way. Take stock of your spiritual life daily
and renew yourself in Christ, for his honor and glory
and for the work he has for you to do.

The Pit
A man fell into a pit and could not get out.
A subjective person came along and said, "I feel for you,
down there."
An objective person came along and said, "It's logical
that someone would fall down there."
A Pharisee said, "Only bad people fall into a pit."
A mathematician calculated how he fell into the pit.
A news reporter wanted the exclusive story on his experience.
An IRS man asked if he was paying taxes on the pit.
A self-pitying person said, " You haven't seen anything
until you have seen my pit."
A faith healer said, "Just confess you are not in the pit."
An Optimist said, "Things could be worse."
A pessimist said, "Things will get worse."
Jesus seeing the man, took him by the hand and lifted
him out of the pit.
Hallelujah.. The One who died for you and me.. cares
enough to lift us up daily. How very blessed we are!
