This is YOU

-----O
I like you because of
Who you are to me...
A true friend.

And if I
don't get this
Back I'll take the hint.

Tonight
at midnight
Your true love will
Realize they like you

Something
good will
Happen to you at
1:00-4:00 PM
Tomorrow.

It could be anywhere
-- at home, Yahoo, outside
Of work, anywhere.

Get ready for the
Biggest shock of
Your life.

Please
send to 5
People in 5 minutes.

Remember:

'A good friend will
Come bail you
Out of jail....

But a true friend will
Be sitting next to you
Saying we screwed
up, but we had fun!

Proud
To Be
Your Friend!

Make
sure you read
All the way down to
The last sentence,
And don't skip ahead.

I've learned..
That life is like a
Roll of toilet paper.
The closer it gets
To the end, the
Faster it goes.

I've learned
That we should be
Glad God doesn't
Give us everything

We ask for

I've learned
That money doesn't
Buy class

I've learned...that it's those small daily happenings that make life so spectacular.

I've learned...
That under everyone's
Hard shell is someone
Who wants to be
Appreciated
And loved.

I've learned...
That the Lord didn't
Do it all in one day
What makes me

Think I can?

I've learned...
That to ignore the
Facts does not
Change the facts.

I've learned.....
That the less time
I have to work,
The more things
I get done.

To all of you.... Make
Sure you read all the
Way down to the
Last sentence...

It's National
Friendship Week.

Show your friends
How much you care.

Send this to everyone
You consider a FRIEND!

Even if it means sending
It back to the person
Who sent it to you.

If it comes back to you,
Then you'll know you
Have a circle of friends.

HAPPY
FRIENDSHIP
WEEK TO YOU!

YOU ARE MY FRIEND
AND I AM HONORED.

I used to live with an ongoing sense of dread until I asked God to show me what was wrong. He spoke the words “evil forebodings,” and then showed me His Word concerning this subject: “All the days of the desponding and afflicted are made evil [by anxious thoughts and forebodings], but he who has a glad heart has a continual feast [regardless of circumstances]” (Proverbs 15:15).

Anxious thoughts make the day evil. If you expect to have a dismal day, you will be unpleasant yourself. Evil forebodings ruin the day, but faith makes the heart glad and brings miraculous results. If you want to have a good day, raise your expectations to be in line with God’s Word.

Pray before Answering

Pray before Answering

3/21

Romans 15:18

The Father has sent to us a Counselor- the Spirit of Truth- who teaches us all things (see John 14:16, 17, 26). As we stay sensitive to God’s leading, He will direct us. If we pray before speaking, the Lord will keep us from overcommiting our time, and from misleading people.

Jesus took time to listen to the Father before speaking, God will also give us “a word in due season” for somebody (see Proverbs 15:23), if we listen for His input before we give what we may think is a right answer. God will give us the right words to say if we expectantly listen for His direction before we speak.

Psalm 27:4

When I first became a Christian, I didn’t desire to pray as much as I do now. Although I do spend time with God every morning, I also spend time with Him all day. It seems that I walk in prayer.

In her powerful book, Experiencing God through Prayer, Madame Guyon says there is a difference between praying to God and experiencing Him. At first you must discipline yourself to pray, but eventually you will give yourself to the ocean of God’s love, and experience His continual presence.

God Gives Us All We Need

God Gives Us All We Need

3/28

Psalm 9:10

In His Word God has given us the tools we need to help us through each new day. He has given us “the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness” (Isaiah 61:3 KJV). So, when you wake up in the morning, decide that no matter what happens, you will not be depressed today.

Put on the garment of praise first thing in the morning. Listen to worshipful music, read the Word, and renew your thoughts to bring them into line with what God says you are---righteous and blessed. You can think right, talk right, and act right all day, if you spend time with God before trials come your way.
