Personal Story Of The Day
It's Time To Make TimeAn anonymous Irishman wrote:
'Take time for work, it is the price of success.
Take time to think, it is the source of power.
Take time to play, it is the secret of youth.
Take time to read, it is the foundation of wisdom.
Take time to be friendly, it is the road to happiness.
Take time to dream, it's hitching your wagon to a star (connect with someone who is spiritually successful).
Take time to love, it is the highest joy of life.
Take time to laugh, it is the music of the soul.'
Let's consider time for a moment... we will have all eternity to celebrate the victories, but only a few hours before sunset to win them.
Jesus said, " I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work." (Joh 9:4). Is there something you've been putting off: An apology to a loved one; a word of encouragement to someone struggling; helping a younger member of the church; a visit to a friend; sharing the Gospel; lending a hand?
Remember, the first step is always the most difficult.
Jokes Of The Day
One afternoon, a wealthy lawyer was riding in the back of hislimousine when he saw two men eating grass by the road side.
He ordered his driver to stop, and he got out to investigate.
"Why are you eating grass?" he asked one man.
"We don't have any money for food," the poor man replied.
"Oh, well, you can come with me to my house," instructed the
lawyer.
"But, sir, I have a wife and two children with me!"
"Bring them along!" replied the lawyer.
He turned to the other man and said: "You come with us, too."
"But I have a wife and six children," the second man answered.
"Bring them as well" replied the lawyer.
They all climbed into the car, which was no easy task, even for a
car as large as the limousine.
Once underway, one of the poor fellows said: "Sir, you are too
kind. Thank you for taking all of us with you."
The lawyer replied: "Glad to do it. You'll love my place; the grass
is almost a foot tall."

An atheist was spending a quiet day fishing when suddenly his boat was attacked by the Loch Ness monster. In one easy flip, the beast tossed him and his boat high into the air. Then it opened its mouth to swallow both.
As the man sailed head over heels, he cried out, 'Oh, my God! Help me!'
At once, the ferocious attack scene froze in place, and as the atheist hung in mid-air, a booming voice came down from the clouds, 'I thought you didn't believe in Me!'
Come on God, give me a break!!' the man pleaded. 'Two minutes ago I didn't believe in the Loch Ness monster either!'

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Making Your free time work.
But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother Romans 14:10. References from Romans 14:19-15:6.
The character of 'Aunt Pitty Pat' in Gone with the Wind, makes a great show of being delicate and dainty. She practices fainting when confronted with anything that she deems unpleasant, from bad manners to bad smells to bad news. Of course, there's not much fear that Aunt Pitty Pat will actually faint; she uses this threat to avoid dealing with anything she doesn't like.
The modern day Christian legalists are much like Aunt Pitty Pat. Some are offended or judgmental towards believers who have differing standards of behaviour. As a result, they produce the stumbling block argument to try to keep anyone from doing anything that they don't like.
We know from Scripture that we should make leisure choices that edify our fellow believers (Rom 15:2). But the New Testament tells us that giving in to legalists neither edifies them nor honours the Lord. Though we are told to live at peace with all people if it's possible, Jesus and Paul didn't hesitate to offend those who distorted the truth, and as we've seen, freedom is a very important truth.
Scriptural truth is more important than personal preferences. In fairness, though, to give our brothers and sisters the freedom to choose is not an easy command to obey. We prefer to flock with birds of a feather, but the reality of the body of Christ is higher and harder to manage. Judging others (in the form of pressure to conform to a given set of convictions), is often more normal, but we should strive to give space and grace.
It may help if we understand that causing someone to stumble or fall means causing someone to sin, not merely giving offence (14:20-21). And of course, accountability remains, for we will one day give a report to our divine Judge.
The balance contained within the bible is our greatest asset... not the balance of our traditional beliefs.
Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6.
So many Mums suffer anguish from the 'empty nest' syndrome that comes about when children leave the home. A close friend has two sons... an older teenager, and one young adult. Both are in university. The youngest is near home, but staying in the dorms. The older son has just finished his course, and is moving away to get his Phd. Leaving home to Mum is like losing a child... it's a heart-breaking experience for her.
I can understand the feeling, having had three children grow up and leave home. We all try to give good advice on how to act or 'react' in these trying times, but no two parents react the same way. Each of us, as older parents, have all faced the empty nest syndrome... some more than others. But it builds our faith in our kids.
If we have brought them up in the way they should go, then the Bible says that they will not depart from it (this is more a reference to their nature and character as opposed to their spiritual choices). I know some go into the world for a time, but I have to believe the Bible is true because GOD said it. Walking with God is a personal choice that all have to make for themselves.
One of the points often missed in quoting this Proverbs 22:6 is that it primarily refers to their nature, their manners and their way of life. It is God's role to prick them with spiritual motivation and truths and hopefully our example as well will give them the best motivation they will ever get.
That child will be like the prodigal son, and one day, come back to his roots in the Kingdom of God. God will give them every chance to get it right. Ultimately, they will have to defy God and the power of the Holy Ghost to remain in the world... hopefully the most stubborn will repent as the wisdom of years falls upon them. So, to all you empty nesters, or soon to be empty nesters... take heart!
GOD is out there watching over those children. Continue to pray for them and ask God to protect them... this is right. They will grow as they mature more and more, and one day, they will thank you for being the parent you have been.
