vote today


 

Today is voting day, election day, in the USA.  We have a great privilege to live in this land.  Yes, things may be hard and troubled, but we have so many blessings that others around the world don't.  If you haven't voted yet, step up and exercise your right and responsibility to do so.  I am praying for our nation and leaders today.  Join me.


Why vote?  Be a good citizen.  Honor God and the standards He calls us to hold.  Make a difference.


Where should we focus?  These are tough times, but all around us are all kinds of blessings.  What we choose to focus on changes everything for us and others.  Choose to be negative and you will lead others to be negative.  Be position and see how others begin to see the light or dream big.


Why even care?  Many think that they will not make a difference to vote or to be kind or to go out of our way for someone else.  We should stop looking at the struggle and what holds back.  Start looking at why and how we can move forward.


That is one reason why I choose to be a great citizen of this country.  That is why I choose to hold on to what God has said.  God is changing me.  God is working in our nation.  He is working in me and in you.


Do what is right.  Pray for yourself, for your family, for those you influence and for our nation as well as the world.


Psalm 111:10  NLT

Fear of the Lord is the foundation of true wisdom. All who obey his commandments will grow in wisdom. Praise him forever!


Do what God leads you to do and make a difference!  That fruit should remain.


John 15:16  NLT

You didn’t choose me. I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce lasting fruit, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask for, using my name.

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....
