emotions are tough

Emotions are often tough to deal with. If we look around us, and around the world, there are so many things going on. Many of them will impact our lives.

They might not impact our house or family. They might not impact the weather either, but they just might impact our emotions. Topics like these run through my mind, and what I know is that God meets our needs.

God uses many different ways to meet out needs and to deal with our emotions. I will choose to trust God. What I need to do is to be encouraged and encourage others who follow God to stay faithful.

Be faithful daily in your time with God. Be faithful to the people God has put in your life. Be faithful with the resources you have been given. Be faithful and be generous in the support of your church.

The the things that rattle us and bring suffering don’t seem to let up. It might be the political world, some sickness or a number of things that seem to get our emotions all twisted up.

We have a big God. Even when emotions are tough, He is good and He is bog. Pray. Be generous. Keep on serving. Encourage others around you.

Job 4:3 NLT

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

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....
