till the end ... it's true


Thanksgiving week is a great time of the year.  It is also one of those times when consider what we are thankful for.  I had the opportunity Monday to listen to several people share what they are thankful for, and I was totally blown away.  One was a teenage girl who just accepted Jesus.  She was so excited and grateful.  Another was an elderly and gracious lady speaking to a group of young children talking about being grateful.  And another was a man we met at church recently who loves serving but life has been very difficult for him as of late.

What is it that you are really thankful for this week?  Name it.  Share those things with others.  Much of what we must be thankful for are things and truths that are not fleeting.  They will be true till the end.  There are plenty of situational or changing things we are grateful for, but God has put so much in our lives that we have to be thankful for.

Hold tight to, believe in and be thankful for the truth that God has given you!

Jude 1:24-25 NLT
Now all glory to God, who is able to keep you from falling away and will bring you with great joy into his glorious presence without a single fault. All glory to him who alone is God, our Savior through Jesus Christ our Lord. All glory, majesty, power, and authority are his before all time, and in the present, and beyond all time! Amen.

Our great God not only keeps us from falling, but He is and has preparing our future with Him.  Our human minds can’t comprehend the splendor and beauty of heaven.  God is worthy of our praise.  He is all powerful.  All things came from Him, and He holds all things. 

Those things are true and are things that will never change.  Till the end they will be true, and we must be thankful for them.  If God holds these things to be true, then how much greater and sweeter is the fact that God holds us and loves us?  Till the end…it’s true!

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....
