HAVE I EARNED TOMORROW?
Is anybody happier because you passed this way? Does anybody remember that you spoke to them today?
The day is almost over and its toiling time is through: Is there anyone to utter now a kindly word of you?
Can you say tonight in parting with the day that's slipping fast, That you helped a single person of the many that you passed?
Is a single heart rejoicing over what you did or said? Does the one whose hopes were fading now with courage look ahead?
Did you waste the day or use it? Was it well or sorely spent? Did you leave a trail of kindness or a scar of discontent?
As you close your eyes in slumber, do you think that God will say: YOU have earned one more tomorrow by what you did today? Ann Landers

I have a promise of tomorrow not that I earned it but by the grace of God.

Dear God: I ask that no Airman, Coast Guardsman, Marine, Sailor, Soldier, Reservist, National Guardsman, or Merchant Marine feel alone or forgotten.
O Israel, hope in the Lord; For with the Lord there is loving kindness, And with Him is abundant redemption. And He will redeem Israel From all his iniquities.
Psalm 130:7 & 8

The Discipline Of Waiting
January 26, 2014
Read: Psalm 40:1-3
Waiting is hard. We wait in grocery lines, in traffic, in the doctors office. We twiddle our thumbs, stifle our yawns, and fret inwardly in frustration. On another level, we wait for a letter that doesnt come, for a prodigal child to return, or for a spouse to change. We wait for a child we can hold in our arms. We wait for our hearts desire.
In Psalm 40, David says, I waited patiently for the Lord. The original language here suggests that David waited and waited and waited for God to answer his prayer. Yet as he looks back at this time of delay, he praises God. As a result, David says, God put a new song . . . a hymn of praise in his heart (40:3 niv).
What a chapter can be written of Gods delays! said F. B. Meyer. It is the mystery of educating human spirits to the finest temper of which they are capable. Through the discipline of waiting, we can develop the quieter virtuessubmission, humility, patience, joyful endurance, persistence in well-doingvirtues that take the longest to learn.
What do we do when God seems to withhold our hearts desire? He is able to help us to love and trust Him enough to accept the delay with joy and to see it as an opportunity to develop these virtuesand to praise Him.
Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!
Thou art the Potter, I am the clay;
Mold me and make me after Thy will,
While I am waiting, yielded and still. Pollard
Waiting for God is never a waste of time.

It was almost 50 today, warm and sunny. I cut and split firewood and did some yard work. I was totally oblivious to the heat and cold of the rest of the country. Having to stay home with no internet for 4 weeks and no roads for a couple months have given me a different focus on life. The Post Office has been closed for 4 1/2 months and it is almost a 50 mile drive to get the mail so that doesn't happen very often. I hear the west is hot and dry and the east is cold and snowy. Life is good and God is in control.

Pro 27:1
Do not boast about tomorrow,
For you do not know what a day may bring forth.
Jam 4:14
whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.

That’s the way I believe, too. Still, helping others is how I try to mirror Christ in my life.
