make some lists

 


Some of the most important things in life have nothing to do with what we have but more with what or who has us.  Take some time to make a list.  Make two lists.


List the things that you cannot live without.  List the people you cannot live without.  Those will be the ones that get you through the dark and hard times.


Here are just a few of the things on my two lists…


Acts 15:11  NLT  

We believe that we are all saved the same way, by the undeserved grace of the Lord Jesus


Lets begin with faith.  Only by the goodness and grace of God are we held, changed and kept forever.  God and faith are top on both of my lists.


Proverbs 18:22  NLT  

The man who finds a wife finds a treasure, and he receives favor from the Lord.


This one is said and should be shouted at the top of my lungs.  Julie is a blessing to me.  Family is a treasure we cannot take for granted, and those closest to you have extreme value.


Psalm 127:3  NLT  

Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from him.


Oh the kids and grandkids… those are extremely special and near the top of the list.  I am grateful for these gifts from God.


Proverbs 27:17  NLT  

As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.


That is the friend or friends who make life better and me stronger.  I need these friends each and every day of my life.  I am grateful and desire to be that for many others. 


What is on your list?  Who is on your list?  Those are the ones that will make your life much more valuable.  Let them know their value in your life.

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....
