Gentle Witness
March 24, 2014

Read: Acts 1:1-11

You shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth. —Acts 1:8

Bible in a Year:
Joshua 16-18; Luke 2:1-24

Years ago, I was hospitalized following a life-threatening, 38-foot fall from a bridge. While I was there, the wife of the man in the next bed stopped to speak to me. “My husband just told me what happened to you,” she said. “We believe God spared your life because He wants to use you. We’ve been praying for you.”

I was stunned. I had grown up going to church, but I had never imagined that God would want to be involved in my life. Her words pointed me to a Savior I had heard of but did not know—and marked the beginning of my coming to Christ. I cherish the memory of those words from a gentle witness who cared enough to say something to a stranger about the God whose love is real. Her words conveyed care and concern, and offered purpose and promise.

Jesus challenged His disciples—and us—to tell others about the love of God: “You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth” (Acts 1:8).

Through the Holy Spirit our words and witness can have the power to make an eternal difference in the lives of others.

I love to tell the story of unseen things above,
Of Jesus and His glory, of Jesus and His love,
I love to tell the story, because I know ’tis true;
It satisfies my longings as nothing else can do. —Hankey

A caring word can accomplish more than we could ever imagine.

The Monarch Butterfly
By Douglas Florian

He is a monarch.
He is a king.
He flies great migrations,
Past nations he wings.
He is a monarch.
He is a prince.
When blackbirds attack him,
From poison they wince.
He is a monarch.
He is a duke.
Swallows that swallow him
Frequently puke.

Belated Happy Birthday, StephenJohnBanker

Where oh where are you?
Have you disappeared or just changed your name again? LOL

Wishing you a happy, happy day.

GLORY GLORY GLORY of the handiwork of God. Hallelujah! AMEN

How can anyone believe there is no God? Our nation has moved ever more and more away from the truth of God.

God is not mocked. Abortion and same sex coupling are not in agreement with Gods commands. Neither are many other sins; adultery, hate, murder, theft, etc. We are to love God and love our fellow man. Do unto others as we would have others to do unto us. Forgive us LORD we know not what we do, in Jesus name. amen.

Beautiful poem and the daffodils are blooming here now. Our drought is severe, thus these happy, joyous blooms are lovely indeed! O that their beauty lasted longer.

Oh that’s sad Yorkie! How beautiful it would have been. I don’t know what killed mine, probably neglect or the dry Texas heat. I have deer that have even come on my patio and eaten my flowering plants!

[potlatch]

A day later, but we just had a good rain here. Had one loud crack of thunder early on. Glad we both got rain!!

[potlatch]

That’s so darling Kitty. Reminds me of my little ‘Piper’ when he was a baby. ((HUGS)) to you too FRiend.

[potlatch]

That’s a really beautiful post Amy, and you know how I love animation!! Lol. Hope your day has been good.
