CROSS WALK !!

We complain about the cross we bear but don’t realize it is preparing us for the dip in the road that God can see and we cannot. Here’s a poem about the cross to help inspire you:

Whatever your cross, whatever your pain,
there will always be sunshine, after the rain….
Perhaps you may stumble, perhaps even fall;
But God’s always ready, to answer your call….
He knows every heartache, sees every tear,
a word from His lips, can calm every fear…
Your sorrows may linger, throughout the night,
But suddenly vanish, by dawn’s early light…
The Savior is waiting, somewhere above,
to give you His grace, and send you His love.

May God fill your day with blessings!! 

Be kinder than necessary,
for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle!

 

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

 

LUNCH WITH GOD......... ......

LUNCH WITH GOD......... ......


A little boy wanted to meet God. He knew it was a long trip to where God lived, so he packed his suitcase with a bag of potato chips and a six-pack of root beer and started his journey.
 
When he had gone about three blocks, he met an old woman. She was sitting in the park, just staring at some pigeons.
  
The boy sat down next to her and opened his suitcase. He was about to take a drink from his root beer when he noticed that the old lady looked hungry, so he offered her some chips. She gratefully accepted it and smiled at him.
 
Her smile was so pretty that the boy wanted to see it again, so he offered her a root beer. Again, she smiled at him. The boy was delighted! They sat there all afternoon eating and smiling, but they never said a word.
 
As twilight approached, the boy realized how tired he was and he got up to leave; but before he had gone more than a few steps, he turned around, ran back to the old woman, and gave her a hug. She gave him her biggest smile ever.
 
When the boy opened the door to his own house a short time later, his mother was surprised by the look of joy on his face.  She asked him, "What did you do today that made you so happy?"  He replied, "I had lunch with God."   But before his mother could respond, he added, "You know what?  She's got the most beautiful smile I've ever seen!"
 
Meanwhile, the old woman, also radiant with joy, returned to her home.  Her son was stunned by the look of peace on her face and he asked, "Mother, what did you do today that made you so happy?" She replied! "I ate potato chips in the park with God."
However, before her son responded, she added, "You know, he's much younger than I expected."
 
Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.
 
People come into our lives for a reason, a season, or a lifetime! Embrace all equally!
 
Have lunch with God.......bring chips.
 
God still sits on the throne, the devil is a liar.

You may be going through a tough time right now but God is getting ready to bless you in a way that only he can.

 

Keep the faith.
