A Better World

"Your task is to build a better world," said the Lord.

And I answered "How? This world is such a large, vast place, and, oh, so complicated now! And I'm so small and useless, there is nothing I can do."

The Lord in all His wisdom said, "You just build a better YOU"

Don't Stay away from Church ... #4

... because the church always want money. So does the grocer.
... because you have plenty of time for that late. ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?

Don't Stay away from Church ... #3

... because you have company. They will admire you if you bring them, or ask that they wait until your return.

.. because you need an occasional weekend vacation. You should not allow your soul a vacation from God.

... because your clothes are not good.Th church isn't supposed to be a fashion show.

... because the church standard is too high. Take  look at the Bible standard if you think ours is high.

... because you have little children. Suppose you didn't have them? We havea nursery.
... because you don't like the preacher. He's human like you.

Lincoln - The face of God

I never behold (the heavens filled with stars) that I do not feel I am looking in the face of God. I can see how it might be possible for a man to look down on the earth and be an atheist, but I cannot conceive how he could look up into the heavens and say there is no God.  - Abraham Lincoln

What would change if ...

your church had no building in which to meet?

your church had no hymnals?
your church had no musical instruments?
your church had no baptistry?
your church had no ushers?
your church had no choir?
your church had no creeds?
your church had no New Testament?

How to be Happy

Keep your heart free from hate, your mind from worry. Live simply, expect little, give much, sing often, pray often. Keep the Lord first in your heart.

Fill your life with love, scatter sunshine, forget self, think of others. Do as you would by done by.

These are the tried links in contentment's golden chain.

(Kiwanis Support of Churches Committee)

Doubt vs Faith

Doubt sees the obstacles, faith sees the way;

Doubt sees the darkest night, faith sees the day;

Doubt dreads to take a step, faith soars on high;

Doubt questions, "Who believes?"

Faith answers "I""

Choices

All you have to do to change your life is to change your mind.

It really is that simple; but it isn't always easy.

All you have to do to stop feeling bad is to start feeling good ... but

Feeling good is not a one-time event; It is a decision we make minute by minute, day  by day; it is a creation

The way  to change the world is to change your attitude toward it.

... Not just once, but all the time.

A letter from God to You #7:

Should you grieve the passing of another weekend, think of the woman in dire straits, working twelve hours a day, seven days a week to feed her children.

A letter from God to You #6:

Should you despair over a relationship gone bad, think of the person who has never known what it's like to love and be loved in return.

A letter from God to You #5:

Should you have a bad day at work, think of the man who has been out of work for years.

A letter from God to You #4:

If you  find yourself stuck in traffic, don't despair. There are people in  this world for whom driving is an unheard of privilege.

A letter from God to You #3:

Once the matter is placed in the box, do not hold onto it by worrying about it. Instead, focus on all the wonderful things that are present in your life now.

A letter from God to You #2:

And remember ...

If life happens to deliver a situation to you that you cannot handle, do NOT attempt resolve it yourself! Kindly put it in  the SFGTD (something for God to do) box. I will get to it in MY TIME. All situations will be resolved, but in MY time, not yours.
