You make a difference!

Sometimes your presence is all that is needed to make a difference in someone's life.
Just your taking the time to reach out to someone to lift their spirits can change the direction of their day. A few simple words can encourage someone and inspire hope when circumstances seem hopeless.
Often times we may feel we lack the resources to meet a need, but even if that is the case, there is something we can still give - our time. It's one of the greatest things we can give in addition to love. Don't let what you think you don't have stop you from doing and giving what you do have.

I'm so grateful for the wonderful people that God sends across my path. All the warm hugs and smiling faces have added so much joy to my days. Keep encouraging, sharing your time, and your heart because you truly are making a difference in someone's life!

    You are so right. I often pray that God will point me in the right direction to be an encourager for others who need it. We should all stay alert for his prompts to say a kind word to or spend just a little time with someone who could us a little lift.

Aunt Faye, I wish you perfect and peaceful rest in the loving arms of our Lord in heaven.

Today I learned that my aunt passed away. She was always so kind to me and always greeted me with a sweet smile, hugs and kisses, even when I got older and would only see her every few years. I keep thinking of how she would always remind me that she and I have the same birthday. I loved hearing her say that when I was a child; perhaps it was just that she made me feel so special like we had a unique and special connection because we shared the same birthday. I don’t know, I guess it seems silly thinking about how excited I would get about her as a child. As we grow older we don’t think it’s so important to hear those same things over and over until the day comes when that person is no longer with us to say those words. I’ll hold on to those words and seeing her sweet smile and the warmth that I still feel when I think of her kind heart . Aunt Faye, I wish you perfect and peaceful rest in the loving arms of our Lord in heaven.

Do you have Christian Community?

As believers we are instructed in God's word to come together for fellowship with Christ and one another. One way to accomplish this is through Christian community. “But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin” 1 John 1:7. “And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching…” Hebrews 10:24. Christian community should not be about being in a social clique and it should extend beyond attending church. What it should be about is a body of believers coming together as one in Christ to share, love and care for one another. We should come together as the body of Christ to pray and worship with one another. We also should come together to help meet the needs of others. If we study the meaning of Jesu...

Great time at the single women's group

This morning I had the pleasure of attending a single women's group. I was so moved by the women who spoke today. I thank God for encouraging us in our faith, strength, direction and patience. God reminded us that when we yield to His Spirit and remain in relationship with Him, we can be content in all things and all circumstances. God has purpose for each of us and today I believe He gave us more confidence and boldness to pursue our purpose in Christ.
