  Thank God
Posted by: penelope - 28-01-2005, 09:07 AM - Forum: Poetry and Inspirations - Replies (1)

Thank God for the little things
That fill our hearts with love,
For all of these reminders
Sent from Heaven up above...

For snowflakes that fall
To cover the ground,
For the fire we've made
And it's warm crackling sound.

For a cup of hot cocoa,
A spot of cider or tea,
Or perhaps maybe just
A simple mug of coffee.

I'm thankful for all
Of the different ways
To warm one's heart
On a cold winter's day.

For the comforts
Of our home so sweet,
A snuggly warm bed
And soul food to eat.

For the children all playing
Out in the bright snow,
And how their smiles
Set my heart aglow.

For the songs we sing
Of joy, peace and love;
For good tidings we pray
To our Father above.

Though it surely may be
Quite frigid outside,
We will always be warm
With the Lord as our guide.

For all the joy
His kindness brings;
I find my sprits lifted up,
For He truly gives my soul it's wings.

  Spiritual Growth
Posted by: Sue Johnson - 27-01-2005, 06:49 AM - Forum: Christian Faith Praise - Replies (4)

Morning

I want to share a lesson I received recently.

A person I trusted and admired, has done things in my life which have caused great pain and sadness. He had removed my joy and tried to destroy a vison. Before giving my life to The Lord, I can honestly say, I would have gone for the jugular AND succeeded. I would have taken him down in any way I could find possible to do. I would have got EVEN!!!

With The Father's Grace, I have been able to handle a very bad situation in a very different way. I have done it HIS way and not in the way the world would encourage me to handle it. The decision to hand over my feelings to God was not easy because the human in me demands revenge, but the Bible clearly tells us, revenge is not ours....

So, one day this man was working really hard outside of my fence. He ad been working in the hot sun all day and I could see he was tired. The 'old' me would have said, GOOD...SUFFER!!! But with God's Grace, I felt the Holy Spirit prompt me very clearly, "Go and give him a cup of water". Now I know when to obey and I got the water and went to him and as I offered him the cup, the most amazing sense of peace washed over me. Revenge, Hate and Anger had lost its hold on me and I was able to feel God's compassion on this man despite what he has done to me.

So, I have grown in my faith and understanding and that is how it works. We walk through difficult situations with God's help, because on our own, we cannot but go back to the feelings of the flesh. But, with The Holy Spirit in charge, we overcome and grow.

Have a great day!

Sue

STUNNED BY GRACE
by Max Lucado

I've never been surprised by God's judgment, but I'm still stunned by
his grace.

God's judgment has never been a problem for me. In fact, it always
seemed right. Lightning bolts on Sodom. Fire on Gomorrah. Good job,
God. Egyptians swallowed in the Red Sea. They had it coming. Forty
years of wandering to loosen the stiff necks of the Israelites?
Would've done it myself. Ananias and Sapphira? You bet.

Discipline is easy for me to swallow. Logical to assimilate. Manageable
and appropriate.

But God's grace? Anything but.

Examples? How much time do you have?

David the psalmist becomes David the voyeur, but by God's grace becomes
David the psalmist again.

Peter denied Christ before he preached Christ.

Zacchaeus, the crook. The cleanest part of his life was the money he'd
laundered. But Jesus still had time for him.

The thief on the cross: hellbent and hung-out-to-die one minute,
heaven-bound and smiling the next.

Story after story. Prayer after prayer. Surprise after surprise.

Seems that God is looking more for ways to get us home than for ways to
keep us out. I challenge you to find one soul who came to God seeking
grace and did not find it. Search the pages. Read the stories. Envision
the encounters. Find one person who came seeking a second chance and
left with a stern lecture. I dare you. Search.

You won't find it.

Oop bek soos 'n gaar vis!

Sy het so baie plooie, sy skroef haar hoed op!

Hy is so maer, hy lyk soos 'n potlood met 'n handbriek.

Ek is nou so opgewonde soos ìn budgie op steroids !

Ek was gisteraand so dronk, toe ek vanoggend wakker word hang ek oor die
stoel en my klere lê in die bed.

Ek is nou so lus vir ìn Rennie ek eet sommer ìn pastei.

Jy's so skeel jy kyk jouself diep in die oë!

Van sit of staan bly lê die lekkerste.

Hy ìs so kort hy weet nie of dit keelseer of aambeie is nie.

Hy ìs so kort hy slaan tot sy onderbroek se pype om.

Hy is so maer, as hy langs n wit muur loop lyk dit soos n kraak wat beweeg!

'n Mens hoef nie soos n plank te lyk om gespyker te word nie.

Hy is so skelm, hy bid onder n skuilnaam.

Ek gaan jou klap dat jy lus kry vir niks.

Ek sit nou so lekker ek staan sommer op en sit weer.

"Lang gesig soos ìn bok wat afdraand vreet."

"Drank los nie probleme op nie, maar so ook nie melk of water nie."

"Ek voel nou so goed, ek vul sommer die lottonommers verkeerd in."

"Ondervinding is iets wat jy eers kry nadat jy dit nodig het."

"Almal kry die voorreg om onnosel te wees, net jammer party maak misbruik
daarvan."

"Ek is so de duiwel in, ek soen sommer 'n pofadder oopbek"

"My vrou is so lelik, as sy op die sand sit wil die katte haar toekrap."

"Die mens is op aarde geplaas om ìn sekere hoeveelheid werk te doen. Op die
oomblik is ek so ver agter ek sal nooit dood gaan nie."

"Ons kannie almal helde wees nie, iemand moet langs die pad staan en hande
klap."

"Ek haat mense wat honde aanhou. Hulle is ìn klomp sissies wat nie genoeg
guts het om iemand self te byt nie."

"Ek glo dat as iets die moeite werd was om te doen, dan sou iemand anders
dit lankal gedoen het."

"Jy mag nooit meer as jou yskas weeg nie!" Confusedcales:

"As jy vir jouself kan lag dan het jy altyd iets om oor te lag."

"As jy lyk soos jou paspoort-foto, dan het jy ìn reis nodig." :haha:

  Food for thought...
Posted by: oe-la-la - 25-01-2005, 08:16 PM - Forum: Poetry and Inspirations - Replies (1)

Read Each One Carefully and Think About It a Second or Two....



1. I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I am with you Smile



2. No man or woman is worth your tears, and the one who is, won't make you :bigcry:



3. Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have



4. A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart



5. The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them knowing you can't have them Sad



6. Never frown, even when you are sad, because you never know who is falling in love with your smile Big Grin



7. To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world



8. Don't waste your time on a man/woman, who isn't willing to waste their time on you


9. Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet the person, we will know how to be grateful :hartlik:



10.. Don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened



11. There's always going to be people that hurt you so what you have to do is keep on trusting and just be more careful about who you trust next time around



12. Make yourself a better person and know who you are before you try and know someone else and expect them to know you



13. Don't try so hard, the best things come when you least expect them to



REMEMBER: WHATEVER HAPPENS, HAPPENS FOR A REASON :lovef:
