Know My Smallness

As we busily go through our days, we sometimes feel that our burdens are greater than we can bear. I feel like I am in this time and place ~ bigger than life. I feel that my worries and problems are immense. I need to pull myself back and realize that I am truly mynute.

As we go on with our daily lives, we should stop and think about the great beyond. I sometimes sit and think about my smallness. I look to the sky and think about what is beyond all that I can see and it bewilders the mind. It is so vast that even our great scientists can't explain it. Where does it end? - It doesn't end. That is when I find myself knowing that I am nothing but a small particle in the makeup of it all - but God still loves me and takes care of me. With that in mind I find it easier to deal with my daily burdens and see that they are small also in comparison.

I like to know my smallness. I like to know that God cares for all. I like to know, even in this whole huge universe, that God knows our every move and wether we believe it or not, he is leading us to where we should be. Where we belong. Sometimes we chose not to follow and sometimes we don't like where we are going.

Lead us Lord.
Help us to remember our smallness so we can accept all things.
Open our hearts and minds to let you lead us.
Amen.

Put Jesus Back Where He Belongs


A father wanted to read a magazine but was being bothered by his little girl, Shelby.. She wanted to know what the United States looked like. Finally, he tore a sheet out of his new magazine on which was printed the map of the country. Tearing it into small pieces, he gave it to Shelby and said, 'Go into the other room and see if you can put this together. This will show you our whole country today..'


After a few minutes, Shelby returned and handed him the map, correctly fitted and taped together. The father was surprised and asked how she had finished so quickly. 'Oh,' she said, 'on the other side of the paper is a picture of Jesus. When I got all of Jesus back where He belonged, then our country just came together.'

See Life as a Gift

See all things as a gift from God. See all that you do and are able to do as a gift. See all that you have and will have as a gift. See all life as a gift from God.

Lord, Open our Eyes to see You.
Open our Ears to hear You.
Open our Minds to think of You.
Open our Hearts to love You.
Amen

Take a Stand for Life

Life is precious and we need to take a stand for what is right.
Abortion is never right.
There may be someone who made this terrible mistake, know that God will forgive you.
Take a stand for life now and let everyone know that abortion is murder of a human life.

Recently a young woman made a decision to have a child. She chose not to have an abortion and gave my family the greatest gift that anyone can give. She gave my daughter and her husband a son. She chose life. She is a decent, wonderful, beautiful young woman and made a decision to give her child to a loving family. I am so grateful to her for giving us this gift.

Thank you God for giving her the courage to give.
