From Philippians 2:3-4:  “Do nothing from selfish ambition or empty conceit, but in humility regard others as better than yourselves.  Let each of you look not to your own interests but to the interests of others.”

Encouragement in Christ

Sharing love-filled grace

Witnessing humility

Heart’s very special place

 

Of one mind with Jesus

Sharing selfless love

Caring first, for others’ needs

Led by Spirit above

 

Every breath mirrors Christ

Sharing mercy’s joy

Walking with unselfish thoughts

Honest actions deploy

 

Each step follows Jesus

Sharing Spirit’s light

Taking obedient path

Humbleness guides faith’s sight

 

Always focused on Christ

Sharing fresh outlook

Living within dignity

Tomorrow’s quiet brook

From Philippians 2:14-15:  “Do all things without murmuring and arguing, so that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, in which you shine like stars in the world.”

We can never overlook teaching others about the need for a quiet work ethic and an unlimited craving to learn.

Facing journey’s many troubles

Wilderness darkness creeping in

Praying to heavens high above

God’s unshaken love, faith’s linchpin

 

Praising God for enduring grace

Thirsty hunger, now quenched and fed

Sharing thanks for every sunrise

Faith nourished with His daily bread

 

Witnessing God’s benevolence

His wondrous works shall never end

Turning deserts into rivers

Faithful courage shall now defend

 

Breaking free from sin’s chains of gloom

Salvation descends from heavens

Shattering enemy’s falsehoods

Taste of freedom, blessed with leaven

 

Redeeming from journey’s troubles

God’s mercy delivers His light

Covering landscape with His peace

Darkness gives up her final fight

Though we don’t always know what God is doing, we can always rely on who He is.

From Lamentations 3:22-23:  “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, His mercies never come to an end;  they are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.”

Andy Griffith Quotes

When a man carries a gun all the time, the respect he thinks he’s getting might really be fear.  So I don’t carry a gun because I don’t want the people of Mayberry to fear a gun.  I’d rather they respect me.  (Thoughts of Sheriff Andy Taylor from “The Andy Griffith Show.”)

I was baptized alongside my mother when I was 8 years old.  Since then, I have tried to walk a Christian life.  And now that I’m getting older, I realized that I’m walking even closer with my God.

Andy Griffith (1926-2012) was an American actor, television producer, and singer.  As an actor, he will be remembered for his television roles as beloved Sheriff Andy Taylor (1960-1968) and folksy lawyer Ben Matlock (1986-1995).  He was born in Mount Airy, North Carolina.
