who makes you stronger

Who are the people that when you are around them they make you stronger and better? If we make a list, there will be lots of people on the list. These are some of the greatest people in my life.

Think about the ways you have been encouraged. Those are the things we ought to be doing often and for many people.

1 Thessalonians 5:11 NLT

So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing.

Build others. Be an encourager. It is not that hard, but it is a choice.

Philippians 4:9 NLT

Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me—everything you heard from me and saw me doing. Then the God of peace will be with you.

The best things we learned from those who gave us strength is what we should give and teach others. Great things can happen when we give to others what we have been given.

Proverbs 15:22 NLT

Plans go wrong for lack of advice; many advisers bring success.

Listen to those who are wise. Put what you learn in to practice and watch how your success will grow.

Luke 6:40 NLT

Students are not greater than their teacher. But the student who is fully trained will become like the teacher.

We need great teachers and leaders. Some of the best are still being taught and will impact many lives.

So, who are the people that have made you better and stronger? Be like them!

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....
