Goodnight Amy
And a big welcome to NOVEMBER!

[JustAmy]

Thank you, Yorkie.

November? Already??? What happened to September? :)

Wishing you a peaceful rest with pleasant dreams.

[yorkie]

September? Do you mean October was just a distant memory? LOL!

Happy NOVEMBER, everyone!

[Brad’s Gramma]

Not being one to pick nits, but I'd like to point something out to you. I quote:

It was still October when you said what you said.
Ba da ba da BOOM! (running and fleeing now.......)

An Urge To Be Anonymous

ODB RADIO: Listen Now |  Download
READ: Matthew 6:1-4

When you do a charitable deed, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, that your . . . deed may be in secret. —Matthew 6:3-4

The urge to misbehave and the desire to be anonymous always visit me together. Like partners making a sales call, they do their best to convince me that I can afford to do something wrong because I won’t have to pay.

Human nature tells us to use the cover of anonymity to avoid taking the blame for the bad things we do. God, however, tells us something else. He wants us to use anonymity to avoid taking credit for the good that we do (Matt. 6:4). Why is it that the urge to remain anonymous seldom accompanies my desire to do good!

The Bible says we’re not to let one hand know the good that the other is doing (vv.3-4). In other words, within the body of Christ our deeds of charity should be done without calling attention to ourselves. This does not mean, however, that God wants good deeds to remain hidden; it just means that they should be done in a way that makes a good name for God, not ourselves (5:16).

When we volunteer our services or make donations to churches and organizations that do good work in the name of Jesus, we receive something much better than honor from our peers. We receive rewards from God, and God receives glory from others! (1 Peter 2:12).

God bless you and keep you and give you His love;
God prosper your labor with help from above.
Be His strength in your arm and His love in your soul,
His smile your reward and His glory your goal. —Anon.

When we serve in Jesus’ name, He gets the glory.

Bible in One Year: Jeremiah 24-26; Titus 2

Good morning

Beautiful post, jaycee. Thank you for these wise words.
Wishing you a blessed Lord's Day.

[MEG33]

Good Sunday Morning

"God bless you and keep you and give you His love;
God prosper your labor with help from above.
Be His strength in your arm and His love in your soul,
His smile your reward and His glory your goal. —Anon."

Thank you for this wonderful message, Mayor
Have a wonderful Lord's Day

[luvie]

Thanks for our beautiful lesson from God’s Word, Rus!

Hope you and your family have a blessed Sunday!

[The Mayor]

When we serve in Jesus’ name, He gets the glory.
