Thank you God For Work

Thank you, God, for work.

Thank you for creating us with the desire to work.

Thank you for the direction that work often gives us.

Thank you for the work you gave me,

even though it comes with its own set of struggles

and challenges and it's not perfect.

I'm thankful that it also comes with its own reward

when you know, you did a job well.

So whether your work is detailed, intricate, and demanding

or simple and easy be thankful for it.

I'm thankful for the friends I've made at work.

Thank you God for Leading us

Thank you God for how you lead us. Like a shepherd leading his sheep. Sometimes through the words you spoke in the Bible, your written word. at other times, it was the wise words from friends, coworkers,or neighbors spoken at just the right time.

Grow Old Gracefully

I’d like to tell you about a lady I visited yesterday. She is ninety-five years young. She recently moved into nursing home.

I want to show that much compassion for those around me that need Jesus. She loved to talk about God and what he was teaching her. ...

Live Fearlessly

As I was driving home today, I passed a person walking on the side of the road. Since it was cold, and snowy, I thought I should stop and offer the person a ride. As I drove on by, I was irritated with myself for not stopping. I could have and should have but I didn't. Why? I was scared! Maybe that wouldn't bother you, but I'm willing to bet there are things that make you afraid. It may be snakes or spiders that send the ticker into overdrive. Or maybe it's your job and finances that keep you up at night when you should be resting. Then again perhaps it's relationships that consume your thoughts and energy. As followers of God, we know that we are told not to be afraid. Yet we often are afraid despite everything we know. As I was driving away from a misse...
