Thank you, very sweet :)

TBMom, I just found this and wanted to thankyou for bringing a smile to my day. kids are great that way, making us feel better. I love their answers, all honest the way kids are. thanks again! God Bless.

I heard that one before, but thanks for reminding. With all the other drama going on in my life i needed to see that, and be reminded..

Stepping Stones
The Lord came to me like a dream one day and asked, "Why do you sorrow?"
I answered, "Lord, my life is so full of pain, I can't face one more tomorrow."
The Lord sat down beside me, and gently took my hand.
He said, "Let me explain to you and then you'll understand.
Each sorrow is a stepping stone you must surmount each day,
And every stepping stone you climb is a sorrow that's passed away.
The road of life is a mountainside, with crevices in which to be caught,
But as you struggle on your way, I, the Rock, will lend support.
Every stepping stone you climb, makes spirit and heart grow strong.
Exercising character and faith this road seems painful and long.
The way is paved with stepping stones, to uplift your heart and soul,
Though difficult, they aid your way, to a City paved with gold.
I know that you are tired, for I too have walked this way,
My sorrows did they multiply, but I cleared the stones away.
I left my rock to lift you up, I left behind my story.
To give you strength to make your climb, to that special place in glory.
And never fear, the Rock is here, You'll never climb alone
Surmount life's sorrows, continue on, For they are but stepping stones.

Thanks for sharing this. Just what the doctor ordered. We have been going through some tough times right now and know that I need to trust in the Lord and know that he is making me a stronger person of faith. :)

God Bless our inmates!

:D So many oldies but goodies here...had to bring this one back!

God can even use a simple spider web to build a wall of protection around His children.

During World War II, a US marine was separated from his unit on a Pacific Island. The fighting had been intense, and in the smoke and the crossfire he had lost touch with his comrades.

Alone in the jungle, he could hear enemy soldiers coming in his direction. Scrambling for cover, he found his way up a high ridge to several small caves in the rock. Quickly he crawled inside one of the caves. Although safe for the moment, he realized that once the enemy soldiers looking for him swept up the ridge, they would quickly search all the caves and he
would be killed.

As he waited, he prayed, "Lord, if it be your will, please protect me. Whatever your will though, I love you and trust you. Amen."

After praying, he lay quietly listening to the enemy begin to draw close. He thought, "Well, I guess the Lord isn't going to help me out of this one.." Then he saw a spider begin to build a web over the front of his cave.

As he watched, listening to the enemy searching for him all the while, the spider layered strand after strand of web across the opening of the cave.
"Ha, he thought. "What I need is a brick wall and what the Lord has sent me is a spider web. God does have a sense of humor."

As the enemy drew closer he watched from the darkness of his hideout and could see them searching one cave after another. As they came to his, he got ready to make his last stand. To his amazement, however, after glancing in the direction of his cave, they moved on. Suddenly, he realized that with the spider web over the entrance, his cave looked as if no one had entered for quite a while. "Lord, forgive me," prayed the young man. "I had forgotten that in you a spider's web is stronger than a brick wall."

We all face times of great trouble. When we do, it is so easy to forget the victories that God would work in our lives, sometimes in the most surprising ways. As the great leader, Nehemiah, reminded the people of Israel when they faced the task of rebuilding Jerusalem, "In God we will have success!" [Nehemiah 2:20]

Remember: Whatever is happening in your life, with God, a mere spider's web can become a brick wall of protection. Believe He is with you always. Just speak His name through Jesus His Son, and you will see His great power and love for you.

shall we try this again....

God IS the calm beautiful sunrise you see in the morning...... The peaceful sunset you see at dusk.......... The gentle warm breeze reminding us we can feel him........... the homeless man reminding us to be compassionate.......the angry friend reminding us to love one another........ God is the kind warden or Guard who shows compassion to our children........ God is our reason for being

Be blessed

I had to dig this out of my e-mail but this is really cute and thought I would share.


A Little Boy's Explanation of God -- - Out of the mouths
of Babes--


THIS IS TOO CUTE!!!



It was written by an 8-year-old named Danny Dutton, who lives in
Chula.
He wrote it for his third grade homework assignment, to 'explain God.'



EXPLANATION OF GOD:

'One of God's main jobs is making people. He makes them to replace
the ones that die, so there will be enough people to take care of things
on earth. He doesn't make grownups, just babies. I think because they
are smaller and easier to make. That way he doesn't have to take up his
valuable time teaching them to talk and walk. He can just leave that
to mothers and fathers.'



'God's second most important job is listening to prayers. An awful lot
Of this goes on, since some people, like preachers and things, pray at
times beside bedtime. God doesn't have time to listen to the radio or TV
because of this. Because he hears everything, there must be a terrible
lot of noise in his ears, unless he has thought of a way to turn it
off.'



'God sees everything and hears everything and is everywhere which
keeps Him pretty busy. So you shouldn't go wasting his time by going
over
your mom and dad's head asking for something they said you couldn't
have.'



'Atheists are people who don't believe in God. I don't think there
are
any in Chula . At least there aren't any who come to our church.'



'Jesus is God's Son. He used to do all the hard work, like walking
on
water and performing miracles and trying to teach the people who didn't

want to learn about God. They finally got tired of him preaching to them

and they crucified him. But he was good and kind, like his father, and
he told his father that they didn't know what they were doing and to
forgive them and God said O.K.'



'His dad (God) appreciated everything that he had done and all his
hard work on earth so he told him he didn't have to go out on the road
anymore. He could stay in heaven. So he did. And now he helps his dad
out by
listening to prayers and seeing things which are important for God to
take care of and which ones he can take care of himself without having
to bother God. Like a secretary, only more important.'



'You can pray anytime you want and they are sure to help you because
they got it worked out so one of them is on duty all the time.'



'You should always go to church on Sunday because it makes God happy,
and if there's anybody you want to make happy, it's God!



Don't skip church to do something you think will be more fun like
going
to the beach. This is wrong. And besides the sun doesn't come out at the
beach until noon anyway.'




'If you don't believe in God, besides being an atheist, you will be
Very lonely, because your parents can't go everywhere with you, like to
camp, but God can. It is good to know He's around you when you're
scared, in
the dark or when you can't swim and you get thrown into real deep water
by
big kids.'




'But...you shouldn't just always think of what God can do for you.
I
figure God put me here and he can take me back anytime he pleases.



And...that's why I believe in God.'



(If you believe in God, please pass this on, and may God bless you
too.)


Have an awesome day, and know that someone has thought about you.
