A Little Contest

We’ve gotten all dressed up, and we will have a place to go,
And we’ll have a little contest as to who will steal the show,
My lace and finery will prove the best at final hour,
But the ribbon on the kitty is the gilding of the flower.

Tried And True

Read: Galatians 5:22-26

Most men will proclaim each his own goodness, but who can find a faithful man? —Proverbs 20:6

Bible In One Year: Job 35-37


We are often disappointed by the unfaithfulness of people. A family member promises to write, but months go by without a letter. A pastor says he will visit when we are sick, but he doesn't make it to the hospital or to our home. A friend agrees to be there for us in our bereavement but doesn't even call. Others tell us they will pray for us but quickly forget our need. Someone promises to do an important task for us but never follows through. We ask ourselves, "Who can find a faithful man?" (Proverbs 20:6).

We can do very little about the unfaithfulness of others. But we can do a lot about our faithfulness to others. When we make a promise we must keep it. When we tell someone we will pray for them, we need to follow through and do it. When we proclaim our loyalty and love for others, we can do little things that show them we mean it.

The apostle Paul said that one fruit of the Spirit is faithfulness (Galatians 5:22). God will create in us a steadfast spirit if we take seriously what we tell others we will do for them, and if we follow through.

Ask God to make you a person whom others can count on—a person who is tried and true. —David Roper

Lord, grant to me a faithfulness
In what I say and do
So others will be confident
That I will follow through. —D. De Haan

Faithfulness in little things is a great thing.

Prayers for the 31 troops who died this morning in Iraq.

***THE MANSIONS OF THE LORD***
from the movie "We Were Soldiers"

To fallen soldiers let us sing
Where no rockets fly nor bullets wing
Our broken brothers let us bring
To the Mansions of the Lord

No more bleeding, no more fight
No prayers pleading through the night
Just divine embrace, eternal light
In the Mansions of the Lord

Where no mothers cry and no children weep
We will stand and guard though the angels sleep
All through the ages safely keep
The Mansions of the Lord

Please add the families of the Marines who lost their lives in the helicopter crash this morning to your prayer lists.
God Bless our military and their families.

Father, Please hold the families of the 31 marines in your loving embrace as you give them comfort.
We ask this in Jesus' Name. Amen

If one's word is no good, probably little else is good about that person.

In the old days, I'm almost 49 a mans word was his Word.
A handshake was as good as a signed contract.
Fewer and fewer men can stand on the word or promise.

How can you trust a man that doesn't honor his Word.
It is something I stand by, if I give my word to someone
I stand by it.

Just one of the many things politicans lack today,
a couple others are integrity and guts.
I long for Statesmen like Jefferson, Madison, Franklin, Washington, etal.
Our current day politicos can't stand in their shadows.
