check emotions and keep moving

 


Emotions are raw.

 

Looking around us, listening to the struggles and acknowledge that there are so many things going on.  Seriously. They might not hot our home, but they impact our emotions, change our thinking and even make us stop what we are doing.

 

There are many topics that run through my mind, and I know we must share that God will meet our needs.  He will different days to do it.  He will use the trials, pain and struggles to teach us, and I choose to trust Him.  What I need to do is encourage those who are following God to stay faithful.

 

Choose today.  Be faithful in your time with God.  Be faithful to the people God has put around you.  Be faithful with the resources you have been given, be generous and support your church. 

 

Turn around and keep moving.  This past week, and really the last month or so, we have heard about failure of pastors, families that are falling apart, many battles sickness like cancer and more.  All of them remind us that we need to understand that God knows, He is in control, and I will continue to have faith in God.

 

As we said yesterday, the struggles are real, and the struggles remind us we really need God.  We have a big God.  Even when our emotions are raw.

 

Keep on.  Pray.  Be generous. Serve often.  Encourage your pastor and others.

 

Job 4:3 NLT

In the past you have encouraged many people; you have strengthened those who were weak.

 

2 Thessalonians 2:16-17   NLT

Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal comfort and a wonderful hope, comfort you and strengthen you in every good thing you do and say.

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....
