I Just Saw Jesus
September 22, 2012
Years ago I lost my job in my chosen profession due to circumstances beyond my control. So I took on two lesser-paying jobs in order to try to make ends meet. Yet it still was very difficult to earn enough to pay my monthly expenses.
Then I reconnected with Joel and Dave, two friends from my past. Joel had become the pastor of a growing church in the suburbs. Dave had become an overseas missionary, but he was visiting in the US at the time. Both of them, recognizing my predicament, gave me money to help pay the rent. I was deeply moved. As I thought of my friends’ actions, I said to myself: “I have just seen Jesus Christ!”
Just as I saw Jesus in my friends, sometimes others can see Him in us. Paul speaks of “Christ in you, the hope of glory” (Col. 1:27). He confessed: “I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me” (Gal. 2:20). And he also understood that different circumstances can be opportunities for “the life of Jesus [to] be manifested in our body” (2 Cor. 4:10).
Do you know someone struggling with physical or financial burdens? Why not let the indwelling Christ express His love through you by meeting that person’s need.
If I can do some good today,
If I can help in what I say,
If by my deeds Your love convey—
Dear Lord, just show me how. —Brandt
Real love is helping others for Jesus’ sake even if they can never return the favor.
Read: 2 Corinthians 4:1-10

~Have a Wonderful Caturday/Dogurday~
On this 1st day of Fall
To: MEG33
Just adorable, M!
Have a wonderful day!
To: yorkie
She is so precious!
Is she settling in OK? Getting used to her new 'mommy'?
To: oldteen
She is a very good puppy. But, she has SO much energy, she is wearing me out. (PLUS, I must take her outside every ten minutes, to encourage her to potty. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t!)
But, after playing, I put her in her little kennel, and she sleeps for awhile - then I take her straight outside, when she wakes up. I give her a treat, and tell her “Good girl!”, when she does her business outside.
She has already learned what “Come, Shanah!” means - because she gets a treat then, too!

To: The Mayor; All
There are presumptuous sins. A very dangerous mistake.
We are to humble our self before God, and ask forgiveness in truth, turning from our sin, in repentance.
Three ways God chastises men is with the sword, (war) plague, (serious disease) and famine, (no food or water). Ezekiel 5&6,
Are these present in our lives? America is ignoring God's warnings. It will get worse according to the Scriptures.
We can have a revival of faith and obedience to the Word of God.
CHOOSE LIFE!

What a little doll! And what a great DIL! Was it a surprise
or did she ask in advance if you were ready for a puppy? I
love Shanah! What a good Mama she’s going to have!!!
My granddaughter just got a new Yorkie, too. She brought
it by her Mom’s today to show her off. Her boyfriend, Mark,
bought it for her!
Again, your doggie is precious!!
