IN YOUR FAVORITES
and suggest they do the same


They are changed daily.
 
*******************************************
Did you know that when a group of thoroughbred horses face an attack, they stand in a circle facing each other. With their back legs, they kick out against the enemy.

And donkeys do just the opposite. Donkeys face the enemy and kick each other!

And how often some in the church, do church members do the same thing.
Ignore the real enemy attack each other.

Undercut the sermons of love heard from the pulpit read in our Bibles.  Find fault and feed egoes and…ah yes…those other wonderful times when church members forgive, and hold hands in prayer and the power of the Holy Spirit takes over and…songs of love reverberate.

A challenge! 

Practice the love of God in the church to all the members of your church family.  Practice it when they are deserving of it and practice when they are not. 

Let your actions of such love be a song of love that reverberates throughout the sanctuary and the church programs and when you are there and when you are not.

Would you better feel and understand the love of God more?  Then practice this kind of love and by so doing you will be putting your faith to song. 


Pull out your hymn book, if you can read music and have had the wisdom to have a hymn book at home, or put on a Christian CD and have a private sing along.

Becoming then…slowly but surely…a professional in Christian love…spread it far and wide beyond your church doors so the world can watch your church and watch you…and shout…”I want that in my life.  I need that kind of love in my life.”

 Combining such truth and music together at other places besides the sanctuary really can produce little miracles with big results.

I’m not talking about whether you have a beautiful voice or perfect pitch when you sing in the shower..but sing it and be moved by it and move mountains by it…

 “O God our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the storm blast,
and our eternal home.” 

Or in your car as you drive along
“Tis grace that brought me safe thus far, and grace will lead me home.”

Hymns about the big HIM and His eternal love.  Love to be expanded on and make our little lives giants.

There really are so many CD’s out today with both old favorite gospels hymns and newly written faith-songs that make wonderful listening during the many hours of our days. 

Listen to the words - they will inspire you, calm you, renew your faith, increase your ability to love and forgive; whatever is your need. 

A little boy was angry with his mother and so in his anger he decided the best thing to do was pack his little bag and leave. 
 
That would show her.  So, fully packed little bag in tow he stumbled down the stairs and out the door. 
 
He hadn’t gotten to far when a policeman, seeing him with his bag,  pulled over and asked him where he was going.

 
“I’m mad at my mother and I’m running away.”
 
“But,” said the policeman, “I’ve been watching you and all you seem to be doing is walking around the block.”
 
“Well, what do you want me to do?” said the little boy as he began to cry,”I’m not allowed to cross the street.”
 
People do that…sometimes even get mad at God…and flee from the commandments to love…flee from their God really by such actions…and God just keeps on loving them and patiently waiting…and watching them go in circles …and then one day…oh that wonderful day…when loved by God and practicing the love of God…the angels in heaven sing.

 
“…but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

A quote below from tomorrow’s ONE A DAY blog entitled ON GOD’S LIST YOUR NAME IS PACO

Ernest Hemingway is one of my favorite authors and in one of his stories he tells of a father who had a rebellious son named Paco. 

Ultimately, Paco became a modern-day prodigal son and ran away from home.  Overwhelmed with grief and concern, the father finally, in one last desperate attempt to find his son, put an ad in the local newspaper.  It read…
