Proverbs 11

Today is a busy day, but I want to give you a piece of my quiet time from this morning and from Proverbs 11.  Read and may God guide each of us!!!
 
10 When good people succeed, the city is happy.  When evil people die, there are shouts of joy.

 11 Good people bless and build up their city, but the wicked can destroy it with their words.

 12 People without good sense find fault with their neighbors, but those with understanding keep quiet.

 13 Gossips can't keep secrets, but a trustworthy person can.

 14 Without leadership a nation falls, but lots of good advice will save it. 

 17 Kind people do themselves a favor,  but cruel people bring trouble on themselves.

 18 An evil person really earns nothing, but a good person will surely be rewarded.

 19 Those who are truly good will live, but those who chase after evil will die.

 20 The Lord hates those with evil hearts but is pleased with those who are innocent. 

 23 Those who do right only wish for good, but the wicked can expect to be defeated by God's anger.

 24 Some people give much but get back even more. Others don't give what they should and end up poor. 

 25 Whoever gives to others will get richer; those who help others will themselves be helped. 

 27 Whoever looks for good will find kindness, but whoever looks for evil will find trouble.

 28 Those who trust in riches will be ruined, but a good person will be healthy like a green leaf. 

 30 A good person gives life to others; the wise person teaches others how to live.

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns.  One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.  When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.  Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns.  Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.  Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"  Beverly said, "Why yes I do."  Edith said, "Well, what do you ...

wash feet, sharing hope

  John 13:4-5,14 NLT  So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow.  He served.  He valued and gave value to others.  That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet.  It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives.  Jesus said we should do this.  See the verse above.  Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
