Welcoming Thy Neighbor

From Romans 15:5-6:  “May the God of steadfastness and encouragement grant you to live in harmony with one another, in accordance with Christ Jesus, so that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Prayer is the most important tool for your mission to the world.  People may refuse our love or reject our message, but they are defenseless against our prayers.

From 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18:  “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”

This informative post will be posted on Saturday along with my usual writing.  We can all appreciate some of the lesser known facts from around the world.

Charles Rushmore was a young attorney sent from New York City to South Dakota in 1885 to check on mining titles in the Black Hills.  When he singled out one of the mountains and inquired about its name, his guide, William Challis, shot back that it did not have one, but suggested they could “just call the damn thing Rushmore.”

Before she found fame as an author and sex therapist, Dr. Ruth Westheimer was trained as a sniper in the Israeli army.

These facts have been discovered in I NEVER KNEW THAT by David Hoffman (2009).

God has charged Himself with full responsibility for our eternal happiness and stands ready to take over the management of our lives the moment we turn into faith to Him.

From Psalm 146:5-6:  “They will recount the glorious splendor of Your majesty, and on Your wondrous works I will meditate.  They will proclaim the might of Your awesome deeds, and I will declare Your greatness.”

Jane Austen Quotes

None of us want to be in calm waters all our lives.

Time will explain.

Jane Austen (1775-1817) was an acclaimed English novelist.  Much of her writings dealt with women’s pursuit of a more favorable social standing as well as economic security.

Healing

Turning life upside down

Darkness fuels discontent

Grief fills daily breakdowns

Hopelessness speeds descent

 

Reaching out to others

Care arrives through their grace

Like words from grandmother

Life moves to better place

 

Breathing, moving forward

Journey begins to smile

Ship now sails straightforward

Life transitions, each mile

 

Healing day by day

Sunshine now reappears

Precious words stop to say

Tender thoughts, always near

A man sins who wishes to receive more from his neighbor than he is himself willing to give to the Lord God.

From Matthew 7:12:  “In everything do to others as you would have them do to you, for this is the Law and the Prophets.”
