EXAMPLE

The most valuable gift you can give another is a good example.

"For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you."

(John: 13:15)

A gentleman known as much for his humanitarian efforts as for being an advisor to presidents from Roosevelt to Reagan, and an industrialist reveals the roots of his giving spirit:

"My father was a prominent and greatly love figure in his area of work. . .It was an almost ecstatic experience for me to ride with him when he was on his doctor's rounds. . .Patients at their doors greeted him with such a warmth that waves of pride and honor would surge in me to find myself the son of such a father, a man so obviously good, so obviously deserving of the affection he received. He could have, however, made himself many times richer if he had insisted on collecting all of his bills; or if he could have restrained himself from giving money away; but then he would not have been the man he was. . .I have seen, in his office, drawers full of unpaid bills for which he refused to demand payment because he knew the difficult circumstances of the patients. And I heard innumerable stories from patients about leaving money behind to pay for the prescriptions he had written when he visited people who were too poor to eat, let alone pay the doctor."

What a wonderful legacy to leave your child the "business" of loving and giving to others.

He Who blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - may He bless the fighters of the Israel Defense Force, who stand guard over our land and the cities of our G-d from the border of the Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea unto the approach of the Aravah, on the land, in the air, and on the sea.

May HASHEM cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before them. May the Holy One, Blessed is He, preserve and rescue our fighting men from every trouble and distress and from every plague and illness, and may He send blessing and success in their every endeavor.

May He lead our enemies under their sway and may He grant them salvation and crown them with victory. And may there be fulfilled for them the verse: For it is Hashem, your G-d, Who goes with you to battle your enemies for you to save you.

G-d bless and keep your children safe, Alouette.

Good evening Kathy. Have a blessed Lord’s Day tomorrow. I have to go to drill and finish the DADT briefings. I may need a barf bag.

Strong Words
May 15, 2011

The book titled UnChristian lists reasons why some non-Christians don’t like people who profess faith in Jesus Christ. Their major complaints have to do with the way some Christians act toward unbelievers. The unbelievers in the study tended to view Christians as being hypocritical, judgmental, harsh, and unloving toward people not like themselves.

I’m sure you dislike hearing their view of Christians as I do. Sometimes there’s more truth in their perceptions than we wish there was. In 1 John 3, which begins with the words, “Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God!” (v.1), John introduces a sharp contrast: Believers love righteousness, keep themselves from sin, and love one another; nonbelievers practice sin, hate others, and abide in death.

These are strong words! We are either followers of Jesus Christ or of the devil. We are like Cain or Abel (v.12; Gen. 4:8-15). John says that love for others is what proves we are genuine children of God (3:10,18-19; 4:7-8). We can’t continue to practice sin and claim to be followers of Christ. Let’s always make sure our words and deeds back up our beliefs.

O help us, Lord, to live our lives
So unsaved people clearly see
Reflections of Your loving heart,
Your kindness, and Your purity. —Sper

Following Christ has two requirements:
Believing, and acting like you do.

Read: 1 John 3:10-18

Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God. —1 John 3:10

Bible in a year:
2 Kings 22-23; John 4:31-54

[DeoVindiceSicSemperTyrannis]

Oh much much better. And how have you been? Anything interesting going on? :-)

[oldteen]

Interesting? Not that I have seen/heard. However, I don’t see/hear everything! ;)

[DeoVindiceSicSemperTyrannis]

Our mulberry trees are starting to produce so much fruit and we can't possibly use it all. Wish I could give you some...

There isn't any room to freeze them either, because we just went strawberry picking and the all the freezers are going to be full of strawberries for a while.

Happy Sunday!

A Blessed LORD'S Day to all.
Shabbat Shalom!

Blessings to All Who Visit This Garden of Prayer

I don't believe I have eaten a fresh mulberry. All the mulberry trees around here are fruitless.

I do know they are not commercially grown so I suppose I'll not have any...lol.

Thank you Grammie for chapel & a blessed Lords day to you & yours! *hugs*

[AZamericonnie]

Whem I was a kid we had a very mature mulberry tree on the property, so much in fact one could climb all through it’s branches & on the lower end of the tree they hung so low it was like a cave inside.

I loved that tree. I have such found memories of lazying in it’s braches & eating those sweet black berries til my hands were stained!:)

Good times...
