Received in an email this morning....I had to share it!


Heavenly Father, Help us remember that the person who cut us off in traffic last night is a single mother who worked nine hours that day and is rushing home to cook dinner, help with homework, do the laundry and spend a few precious moments with her children.

Help us to remember that the pierced, tattooed, disinterested young man who can't make change correctly is a worried 19-year-old college student, balancing his apprehension over final exams with his fear of not getting his student loans for next semester.

Remind us, Lord, that the scary looking bum, begging for money in the same spot every day is a slave to addictions that we can only imagine in our worst nightmares!

Help us to remember that the old couple walking annoyingly slow through the store aisles and blocking our shopping progress are savoring this moment, knowing that, based on the biopsy report she got back last week, this will be the last year that they go shopping together.

Heavenly Father, remind us each day that, of all the gifts you give us, the greatest gift is love. It is not enough to share that love with those we hold dear. Open our hearts not to just those who are close to us, but to all humanity. Let us be slow to judge and quick to forgive, show patience, empathy and love.


If you send this to 5 people, then you have a chance to touch 5 people.
Working for God on earth doesn't pay much......but His retirement plan is out of this world!

What a great post to start our "wordly" day with huh ?

I started my Spirit day with Matt . 4: 4 ... "Scripture tell us that bread won't feed men's souls : Obedience to every word of God is what we need" and , as usual , I went "Ok , what you got for me ?" He told me , through your post , "be mindful of what others are doing and pray for others rather than yourself" .

So ... you got 4 more to pass it on to . and let us remember , it is NOT saying the Word that we touch people with , but by saying it with assurance that it is His Word and not ours .


Luv ya
In Christ , our Lord
